This feels so Doctor Who-ish it feels like a Marvel comic. I’m so glad the first time I saw this there was no internet or RUclips around to gleefully disseminate everything you needed to know about the programme, I just sat there in open-mouthed awe😁.
Clyde Pollitt was indeed the returning Time Lord. It's nice to think he's the same one. Just as it is to imagine the main timelord of The War Games is the same as Goth from Deadly Assassin.
G'day. Bessie was not a genuine antique - she was a kit-car! She was made by a company called Siva, and the model was "Edwardian Roadster". You would get yourself a Ford Prefect (or a couple of other Fords with the same chassis) and strip it down to the base, then build the Siva on top using mostly fibreglass parts. The WHO production team modified the original design in order to give it a bigger engine - if you search for pics of the Siva Roadster, you'll see it has a quite different looking front end vs Bessie. (I think the changes only happened after The Silurians?)
I toyed with the idea of building my own Bessie about 20 years ago... but the problem is finding the parts. I managed to track down a guy from I think France who had the original molds... but being in Australia, it was not going to be a cheap enterprise. Maybe you two should look into it as a side project!
Both Bessie and the later vehicle that I wont go into specifics for Thomas' sake were owned by Jon after he finished on WHO. Can't recall the story about whether Jon sold or just loaned the car/s to a fan to be restored... or where they ended up after he passed. It would be amazing to see Ncuti driving round in Bessie!
That's some great trivia about Bessie that I never knew. Would love to see a Bessie return in the modern era even if just briefly in a UNIT episode. Would be a lovely nod to the Classic era.
Hartnell: “I’m trapped in this infernal time eddy.”
Troughton: “Don’t call me Eddy.”
I do like the mental image I now have of Mr Blobby living in some kind of castle in Mordor called the Blobby Fortress
😂
Frazer Hines was supposed to be in this story but had just joined the cast of the soap Emmerdale Farm.
A shame not to have him as he's a quintessential part of the Troughton years IMO
I know there are people who do not like multi-Doctor stories, but for me, they are bliss, and it kicked off here. Pertwee has a number of stories that I hold in high esteem on his own, but this is certainly one of my faves for his era.
I think a multi-Doctor story is always an exciting thing regardless of the quality of the story.
Imagine clearing the printer of a circular paper jam
cant wait for the 15 doctors
😂
With err how many replaced with CGI recreations? :}
Despite the presence of three Doctors this is a typical Bob Baker/Dave Martin story in many ways, in that it is full of big ideas and concepts that the production struggles to realise effectively, the Gell Guards and the tinsel monster being prime examples. Fun to see the Brig reunited with the second Doctor, though, and I like Benton having a big role, even if it was only because Frazer Hines was too busy with Emmerdale Farm to return as Jamie.
Given they are played by the same actor, Clyde Pollitt, it seems reasonable to assume this Time Lord is the same character as the judge in The War Games. One of the other judges was played by Trevor Martin, who got to play the Doctor on stage a few years later.
