Petition for the whole of the Classic Series to be uploaded chronologically
Edit: I guess they listened lol
Yes please
Maybe they do. I can't imagine, that they make a lot of money with (new) DVD-releases anymore
Yes please
David Pirtle …and some of animated recreations too. It is rather fun having it all to hand at a touch of a button I must say, though I miss all the extras on the discs.
But then what would BritBox be good for? XD jk
Tom Baker has the kind of voice that can make anything sound enthralling. He could read the ingredients on a cereal box to me and I’d be like yes king go off
We need a voice off between him and Morgan Freeman.
@@Jarock316
No, they are too disimular to compete.
Not the same acoustic range
despite silly monsters and meaningless storylines the series works because of the conviction by all the actors that they are performing profound drama, brass instruments help and clever sound effects. It's a bit like very good provincial theatre. Couldn't be done without the traditions in this country.
it's on video not film
@@edmund184
Your point being ? For a long time we had This has been a "Filmways Production" relating to Television 📺 shows...
Film may be an achronistic term but it lives on...
Doctor: Sees vision of himself shooting the Lord President of Gallifrey
Also Doctor: Goes to Gallifrey and makes it a reality
Well he did see himself do it, now he has to do it.
Exactly! Spring the trap, find the one who set the trap
Shows he shot the Lord President, didn't show that he KILLED him with said shot.
But wait...did he actually kill the President?
@@vinayseth5899 Nope, that was The Master.
I suffer from Whomania. Been that way since1963 when I saw the very first episode, I was 8 years old. Fortunately no cure, thank goodness
Wenger and Chibnall are trying hard to cure it.
You should speak to a Doctor.
So eccelston is back, fantastic, does that mean we're going to Barcelona finally?
...I want to see Peri finally visit Blackpool.
@@bookcollector538 I know it's happened in spinoff media, but I said I'd like to _see_ it.
Would be crazy if 9, 10 and Rose went to Barcelona and then because of the crossing timelines, 9 forgot.
@@SharpDesign 🙄😂
...the planet.
*Assassin's Creed: Gallifrey*
Yes!!!
Or just a doctor who game which explores space, and time also allowing you to assassinate axx holes yeah wouldn’t mind my dude, wanna jelly baby.
you mean Manchurian Candidate or in this case ManWhoian Candidate.
As someone who has a hard time (or sometimes no time at all) to sit down and watch every part of the classic who stories at a time, these shortened episodes are greatly appreciated! It makes the stories more accessible to fans of all sorts.
To be fair though, this is a 4 episode long story of 20+ minutes, which is really just a modern Who two-parter.
'The Deadly Assassin' was the first Classic Who story I ever watched, and I have to say it's one hell of an introduction.
This “Master” is bloody terrifying. Should have kept him like this a lot longer.
Unfortunate that they never decided to bring back Peter Pratt to reprise his role as the Master! While Geoffrey Beevers is also good, Pratt gave this Master more terror and intimidation in my opinion
@@jaytender4949 yea I like Beevers too though his take is more toward the silky sinister. There is a theory that the Pratt and Beevers are actually separate incarnations cos if you look closely at the very end of Assassin the master appears to be regenerating so the Beevers version is that new body decaying. I watch too much RUclips!
Unfortunately the great Roger Delgado had passed away he and Tom Baker would have made a great rivalry the two best
The time when Doctor Who was an absolute classic. I believe that the old episodes were far more 'serious' [even though the props left a lot to be desired, lol ]. I grew up watching Doctor Who, back in the '70s, and Tom Baker was my all time favourite. I well remember watching this particular episode many many times. Very nostalgic for me, watching this now.
yes , it was more of a adult thing, now it's too fantasy
I started with #4 back in the 70s and ended viewing with #6s intro.
Robert Holmes was the Man.
Susan did this to the Master in an 8th Doctor Novel, a sequel to the dalek invasion of earth, and it leads directly into this story
I loved that they gave the Castilian a different accent so that it jives with our cultural differences on earth.
I would have liked to have seen more Decaying Master stories maybe two more before season 18
Cats go burrrrr
Well Big Finish have got you more than covered there at least
The most common nickname for this master is crispy!master and I think it's way funnier
@@lemsavage9473 or the grim reaper master LOL
I really like these edited down versions although at 31 minutes long there is just that bit too much cut from them to make them easy to follow.
You like having four thirty minute episodes cut down to a single thirty-one minute episode? Three quarters of the story is missing!
Cindy Greene I think somewhere between 45 minutes and an hour would be better. A lot of these old stories ARE filler, but perhaps cutting them down to half an hour is too much.
You're forgetting that they're trying to sell you the serial, not just give you it for free. Of course they're going to leave out the important details, that incentivizes you to buy a copy of the full story in order to understand it!
"The model 40 hasn't been used in years, why would one show up now!?"
Well, good Sir, have you heard of this wonderful little thing called time travel? It works both ways, you know.
@19:55 I've visited this location, Its in the grounds of a Private School in Surrey. The ponds are at the bottom of a steep hill, surrounded by woods. Half-way down that hill, i was taken into the woods and lead to an abandoned, secret garden... It was the best day of my life!
Sounds like such fun
A nice bit of continuity is that the actor playing Chancellor Goth is the same actor playing the Timelord who sentences the 2nd Doctor at the end of the Wargames
Would have been a great episode for Joh Pertwee, the fighting and tactical sneaking about
Or even to appear as Wurzel Gummage
It was actually a damn good ep. One of the few times the 4th Dr got to be an action hero.
Ah, one of mine favorites incarnations of The Master
They only did that due to the untimely death of Roger Delgado.
i had no idea the Emerald City was the capital of Gallifrey
if i only had 2 hearts
@@mrjekyllandhyde9941 hehe
7:20 thats so cool how they used this exact audio in the 9th and 10th doctors intros
He is my favourite doctor
me too buddy
Damn for a second there I thought they'd uploaded a whole episode.
me too. I was less than happy to find out it wasn't
Love the crazed smile Tom Baker showed at certain moments like 5:00 - and the ensuing conversation is so English: ‘weren’t you expelled?’ Haha!!
2:58 it's almost like it time traveled or something.
Yeah 🤔
Nah, I think it’s been mentioned somewhere that all TARDISES are locked onto Gallifrey’s present to avoid interference in it’s own history.
Are you kidding me!! I bought this episode on amazon prime yesterday and now it’s on RUclips!
Literally the most unlucky thing to ever happen to someone, how much on amazon prime?
Should get Britbox!! All of Classic who on there!!
This is 4 episodes compressed into 30 minutes (so missing about an hour of content over the whole story!). What you bought on Amazon is the full version and this is a terrific story :)
I'm sorry, but
LMAO
This is a highlight reel though, not the full story
Based on The Mancunian Candidate. When Bez, of the Reality party, tripped out and woke up in the Matrix. Maracas-ously, he survived with his brain cell intact and is still there today. Or maybe just at weekends
That never happened in the REAL version of The Mancunian Candidate.
Extraordinary. The color, the clarity, the resolution, of what were claimed to be the recordings of early, less capable, video recording devices. One wonders if those are the actual window we are looking through. I suspect not.
Shortly after seeing this, I tried my hardest to make the wonderful shirt the Doctor wears through most of this story. I failed, twice. The shirts I made were good but not at all satisfactory, as I couldn't find any good pattern and wound up combining two patterns, one for the body, one for the sleeves, one for the collar. Yes, I know that's 3 patterns. I swear I only used two. It was the most difficult project I ever made. I don't know what happened to them, all these years later. Are they squirreled away somewhere? Did I donate them? Too many places to look. But I did wear them occasionally. They weren't right, but they were still something to behold.
Didn't I hear that this episode was banned from rerung because of the fight between the Doctor and Goth. Doctor Who was still thought to be a children's show then, and they didn't want children imitating this fight.
Loved the Action Man in the camera housing. Nice!
I just love how sort of superhero-looking the red and gold outfits worn by those helmeted guys on Galifrey around 1:58 are. Something about the capes, the shoulders and even the helmet as well that gives it a really cool superhero-look, feel and flavor!
Doctor who is actually so good I can’t put it into words
Right guys, I was complimenting my favourite show, not trying to start a small debate in the comments. 😂. Of course there’s good and bad episodes, in my opinion, doctor who has been amazing since the reboot. My favs
1. Capaldi
2. Smith
3. Tennent
Depends on the time.
@@someguy4405 Funny Business Time...
Great times. Before Chibnall came along
@@Drp_br_ Well you could have said that until JNT. Its always gonna rise and fall in terms of quality. Bad days, good days.
A show that's gone on since 63 is bound to take on that effect. I'm sure it will get better again... I hope...
You can. "Fantastic"
Mary Whitehouse hated this Doctor Who episode and especially the bit where Tom's Doctor is nearly drowned in one episode at 23:05:
I remember seeing this story on tv as a child, but I can't quite recall how the Doctor got his foot out of the railway point. Perhaps that's the point that he realised that this is all an illusion.
I really wish we got to see the Doctor get into more scraps like he did in this episode.
Magnificent work from David Maloney, Philip Hinchcliffe and Robert Holmes
Thanks Dr who!!! Wonderful memories from my childhood.
The classics TARDIS designs was so good even for low budget
I remember watching the first episode of this one at my friends house, we were sitting terrified (we were only 7years old) and when it finished, his mother said "what a load of bloody rubbish that was eh?" To which I said "yes, I did'nt enjoy it either" she answered, "well, you were glued to it, it did'nt bloody well look like it!"
Doctor Who: The Non-Sequitur Assassin
Start posting full episodes. You will increase your viewership
Yeah I have nowhere to watch
They don't care about viewership, they're the BBC.
@@IsaacSigmar yeah they don't but people will find it easier to rewatch dr who
its illegal even for the official doctor who channel
you can only watch it on tv or a dvd
and doctor who doesnt need views
Now I understand that The Master inspired George Lucas to create the Emperor Palpatine in The Empire Strikes Back film.
Tom Baker was officially my "first Doctor" when I saw the first episodes of his run as a kid.
Likewise. I watched the show on public television here in the States.
@@user-tf6mq5xf6k, PBS 12 in New Orleans showed them every Friday and Saturday.. but they got all of the stories as one movie, so I didn't have to deal with commercials and "waiting till the next time...
Some good shots in the usual quarry.
I have always thought the title "The Deadly Assassin" to be a strange one. I mean, aren't all assassins deadly? Is there any other kind of assassin? That's my only gripe about this brilliant classic Dr Who story
I'd always assumed it was a deliberate joke on the part of Robert Holmes (who wrote this). Holmes' humour was sometimes a little subversive or not easy to spot - see aound the 7:26 mark in this video, the chalk outline of the President's body. It doesn't actually make any sense that they'd draw the outline around his headgear - this was done as a deliberate visual joke.
Years later, when Steven Moffat wrote 'The Curse of Fatal Death', the title was a nod this story and how silly its title was.
@@chrishine2717
That seem the likeliest explanation. "Fatal death" is as silly as "Deadly assassin
incapable ones aren't and the word assasin comes from a group of dopes who weren't capable
Should have been called THE GALLIFREYAN CANDIDATE.
As opposed to "The Incompetent Assassin", perhaps. :-) Or "The Tender-Hearted Assassin". See also Roger Zelazny's short story "No Award".
First time watching this properly. There is something funny about ominous music playing with the President walking down the stairs. Out of context, it frames the President as the villain though in context, it does rack up the tension.
I absolutely love the secondary control room.
The Master makes this episode great.
This story was the basis of so many of my childhood nightmares 😮
At 12:56, that's the part that has been at the back of my mind. This samurai sure shows a scary look up close!
Cut a lot out but still good thanks for posting
Seriously the coolest version of the Master ever.
Hartnell: earth calling Tom are you there tom?
Tom Baker : 0:02 going through all of my past lives here
One of my absolute favorite episodes of Classic Who. Second only to my ultimate favorite, Warriors Gate. This never gets old.
this is the first Doctor who episode that has no companions
@@FreeAssange Actually one of two, the only other one was Heaven Sent.

Great Idea! No matter how down I feel, the Good Doctor always makes me well! Tom is the Doctor of all Doctors!
When I was little, I used to swipe my brother's VHS tapes of Doctor Who. You know what I remember about "The Deadly Assassin"? In the third word of the title, he put a small but noticeable space after the second and forth "S"! I kid you not!
The action of a pertwee episode with the swashbuckling of the sea captain of Blackadder
The best Dr Who episodes ever (Deadly Assasin).
Some really good stories set in Gallifrey dang it Steven Moffat worked so hard to bring the Timelords back only for the ass hat Chris Chibnall to kill them all over again he is already ruining Jodie's time as the Doctor.
Tom Baker's voice is magical
And I love his smile!
My all-time fave
25:55 Resistance is futile! The Master is a Borg!
I watched this when I was high, and you won’t believe how crazy this episode was
I just watched "The Hand of Fear" and I think it was filmed in the same quarry we see here.
when you reached for your stash, but your wife found it earlier 08:43
For the first time we get see Culture of the Time Lords which never explained more this episode. I liked fact Doctor Tardis was considered Obsolete.
This is one of the great ones. I can see how it influenced John Byrne.
I just now finished watching this on Blu-ray
I like the Master's TARDIS disguised as a tall black grandfather clock and the Master been mutilated and decayed is different to Roger Delgado and later Anthony Ainley and the others
This is the Delgado Master, just hideously burnt. It's Cannon.
I love Cardinal Borusa’s sharp tongue, full of barbs.
His is definitely one of the finest episode of the entire saga
"The deadly assassin?" Of course they are! By definition! If an assassin wasn't deadly they wouldn't be assassins, now would they?
The mask for The Master looked so good. It's too bad they couldn't get the mouth to move properly when the actor spoke, which is funny since they had done so successfully with Davros a year or two earlier.
I hear that because of the actor who played Goth also play another Timelord, some people have it where Goth was one of the two Timelords who put the 2nd Doctor on trial.
2:55 lol the stamps as the star trek console lol
This was a Tom Bakery Classic as the 4th Doctor
Just noticed theyre playing a slowed down organ rendition of the Dr.Who theme at 9:52
Do clips of the Five Doctors! (Or at least release it on a digital format please?)
Amazing how Tom Baker's voice is still powerful, I hear no difference from him back then to him asking to subscribe to the youtube channel.
He didn't know who the Master was?! Seriously?! 🤣
"Resistance is futile" - hmm 🤔 25:52 I would imagine a great many Star Trek writers were fans of Dr Who
Will you upload all episodes of this serial?
A title up there with “the furry dog“, “the burning fire” and “the fatal death”.
Wait, that last one was real.
23 years before the Matrix film there was The Deadly assassin. 12 years before The Terminator film there was Day of the Daleks. Some of the most popular film franchises is history but Dr Who did it first.
This is a well known story
No shit Sherlock
Dam why couldn't this be the full episode.
1:43 _"What a welcome home."_ Was the Second Doctor's trial location on Gallifrey? I am assuming it was. And this story was the first time (on-screen) he set foot on his home soil since "The War Games."
It actually is not firmly established WHERE The Doctor is when he is put on trial in The War Games as it wasn't until later during the Jon Pertwee era that Gallifrey was formally named. They could've easily just been on a satellite or some-such in that story.
What really strikes me is how the TimeLords have no knowledge of The Master in this story as it was, in fact, a TimeLord that informed the Third Doctor in Terror of the Autons that The Master had escaped and was running loose on Earth!
How do you forget a criminal like that? 😯😣😵😅
@@christopheralthouse6378 remember we can't look at Canon and continuity with these older shows in the same way we do today. Their intentionally was never a story Bible with Doctor Who.. writers just took their general knowledge of whatever they knew and kept going with the story, And remember there was no access to DVDs or tapes or rebroadcasts generally very often, because the stories weren't consumed in the same way for the most part until very shortly after this when they started to be syndicated more frequently, it was one and done in terms of watching
25:55 does this mean Rick Berman of Star Trek was a Doctor Who fan?
Ok, just one episode earlier the Dr. noted that no one could get/be hurt inside the TARDIS. I'm filing a complaint.
Possibly the best Who story ever
I would have preferred to have the whole thing, not just the highlights. The BBC should have a pointer in the description that would help me buy the full episodes.
Love it
i love doctor who... also i'm nine years old and it's so popular that there's games of it on roblox
Yeah kid you missed the doctor who event you got a TARDIS backpack a pting ailen and two rthro bundles it is not so popular now any way but I recommend the 12 doctors TARDIS showcase
Thanks for reading

That was on Roblox btw
Welcome to the Whoniverse kiddo....!!!!
I envy you! I was about the same age when I saw this on PBS here in America. That was 40 years ago!
Some of the stuff I saw on Roblox years ago wasn't bad...someone even coded in working Weeping Angels!
Condense more episodes!! You tubing dr who is fun!
Love all old doctor who jon pert wee and tom baker.love to get it at wallyworld.
14:25 Are you my mummy?
I would love if this had subtitles
I really loved this episode. It’s my second favorite, my first is Planet of Evil.
