    Glad to see someone else picked up on Captain Cook! Easily one of my all-time favorite Doctor Who episodes. Great video! Love the Chrono Trigger music

    Haha it's amazing how more upbeat you sound when you review episodes you like.
    Incidentally I briefly had the best part-time job in the world at uni, doing proof-listening for audiobooks, checking for errors and such, and I got to check the Audible version of The Greatest Show In The Galaxy before it was released (narrated by Sophie Aldred, natch). 15 years later and that's still a career highlight. Fantastic video Jack!

    This is one of my favorite classic Who episodes. Mark Ayers soundtracks have always been amazing. In the final parts of the episode when Sylvester is walking out of the tent and it explodes, they got a bit carried away with how much stuff to use that it caught the back of his jacket on fire. Sylvester being a badass, kept on walking because cool Doctors don't look at explosions... Also, he knew there was only one take.

    This, along with Protect and Survive by Johnathan Morris, is why 7 always will be one of my favourite Doctors.

    I can tell you had a lot of fun making this video! Wonder whether it will create a new fanbase for the Sylvester Doctor? I was never that much of a fan (I grew up with Dr Baker) but maybe I need to revisit this incarnation.......?

    Also the fact that Captain Cook is named after…Captain Cook…does help with that whole “explorer with colonial connotations”

    There's a real dirge of proper Classic Who analysis on RUclips, that actually puts effort into analyzing themes in the writing or the directing of an episode, so I want to say I really appreciate this one.
    Hope you do more, going back to maybe the Hinchcliffe/ Holmes era or, if you're feeling particularly brave, go the whole hog and try to explain Ghost Light!

    Doctor Who putting out a scream of rage about its current deteriorating situation but still taking time out of the day to call the fans speccy nerds is the most iconic thing ever.
    Also gotta disagree about the part one cliffhanger. The hard cut from Mags screaming silently to the Doctors nonchalance is actually what hooked me on the serial the most

    I first saw this when our local Doctor Who broadcaster put a bunch of classic Doctor stories from each Doctor up on their streaming service as part of the 50th anniversary celebration. It was the first time I’d ever seen McCoy and Ace, and I was HOOKED.
    He’s become one of my favourite Doctors ever. Can’t wait for the season 25 Blu-ray set (but I have to!).
