Not so sure: would you really have Sarah Jane Smith at your side up against dangerous enemies, rather than say, Romana (the brains) or Leela (the brawn).
@@elrjames7799 true but that's from the doctors perspective, from a fans perspective it's more interesting to that dynamic unfold but that's my opinion not fact.
@@stargazer65 it is sad mate,the legacy she left behind touched so many people. I was gutted when I heard she died and i was only 10, I've seen everything since then and now it hurts 100 times more.
I was at a meeting when I heard she died years later fact nobody could understand I was so upset except for the English guy who told me this was in America
@@paulfrost8895 Yes, the dog seemed a little intimidated by Sarah Jane's badminton racket. And she looks up at the sky at the last instant as if the Tardis might be returning. I'd taped it off the TV, but sadly lost all my stuff in a housefire.
Glad to see this one again even if it was much edited. This was my favorite console room on the classic show. Was sad to see Sarah leave. She was the greatest compaion of the classic show
I love how there has been about 3 characters in doctor who that have become more than companions to multiple doctors but sarah always felt as if she was the true friend of the Doctor. Sarah, Captain jack and River in my mind are the best of friends to the doctor as they have always returned to the show and have met multiple versions of the Time Lord but Sarah was always the original and met the doctor in more of the normal chronological order growing up with him.
Several times, Tom Baker's Doctor introduced her to people as his best friend. I always liked that. In one episode he mentioned that he once looked different and had white hair. When he said "Some people liked it" Sarah nodded, smiled, and said "I did!"
@@EstrafaDC Thank you for mentioning the interview. I never tried to look for one, and now there are at least two. A very humorous and likeable actress.
The Golden age of Dr Who was without a doubt , the 70's, the 3rd and 4th Doctors , and Tom is and forever be the Doctor, and lovely Sara Jane , best companion ever!!! 3rd Doctor & Jo Grant 4th Doctor & Sara Jane 10th Doctor & Rose
@Big Cat Little Lion Bill was not at all one dimensional. Have you seen the scenes in Thin Ice? And maybe they just decided to have a gay companion. Just because someone is a minority doesn't mean that they're diversity quota filler
I love how a pwrful being who feeds on atomic radiation is defeated with a scarf. This happened all the time with Tom Baker. Sheer cleverness, friendly diplomacy, and innovation with simple household and personal items are his weapons.
It's a little-known fact that powerful beings who feed on atomic radiation have a lifespan of about three episodes. In Space:1999 they had a lifespan of just one episode!
miss this kind of Who. Did so much with so little. Non sexualized. No companion crush focus. Music not in the forefront of every scene. So nice! "off course are we?" :)
Agree with you, let's bring the show back to better scripts without extra extrainious nonsense. Just think what they could do with special effects if they could produce this episode now?
New Who music is the best out of the entire show, gotta disagree with you there mate. They can make even the most boring scenes exciting, and exciting scenes even MORE exciting. I mean, imagine 10's regen WITHOUT Vale Decem-
@@mv9370 Sounds like every other sci-fi show though. There was a time when it didn't (the soundtracks from back then are pretty amazing, a lot of rare synths in the mix). Had a unique sound of its own. Too bad it lost that.
It always gets me when you look at the Tardis land and Sarah comes out to then remember that reunion between Sarah and the TARDIS in school reunion. Like 2 characters meeting again at last
That choked me up. For all those decades, Sarah thought he was dead. She loved him just as much as Rose did, but kept it to herself. I loved when she and Rose finally settled their differences and began to joke about the Doctor's love of the TARDIS, and his habit of rapid fire explanations, and then looking at you like you were an idiot for not knowing. LOL! Then Matt Smith's Doctor told Jo Grant that it looked like someone baked her! LOL! Katie Manning was a trooper for going with that line!
fantastic episode, they originally intended to kill of sarah jane around this point as lis sladen wanted to move onto new things. just imagine if sarah jane never came back after this point, she was such a fantastic actress and I'm glad they brought her back in new who. RIP lis
I can't dislike it personally, but I do find it frustrating that they've cut out three quarters of the story and removed some of my favorite little moments of Tom Baker's performance. Maybe that's why others disliked it.
Sorry, no doctor or assistant can ever replace Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen in the roles no matter how many regeneration's and companion pickups are done in the future. The best duo period.
Wow, another edit? For those of us familiar with it, a best of, highlights cut is a welcome new context for a rewatch...and perfect while cooking tea, an' all!
There is a scene here in which the Doctor is being driven at speed in an olive green coloured Austin Allegro. This is clearly a work of science fiction. The Allegro ('the Agro') was a car that began to rust the moment it fell off the end of the strike ridden British Leyland production line on which it was made. I should know. I owned one of them as my first car!
Tom Baker is Dr. Who. The only Dr. Who I can watch. I like how they used whatever was around because they didn’t have much of a budget. So they made do with the landscape and whatever was available. Ah, the Seventies what a great decade to live in Great Britain. Monty Python and Dr. Who on TV. Good times!
Why do I find it hilarious when Sarah Jane walks out of her room she has the doctors coat on like she’s threatening to steal his jacket she’s so upset 😂
Eldrad must live! Just sayin'. I think when you look at this time in the programme, despite the lack of money and the cruddy effects, there is so much heart in this story. The music has that electronic twang that were echoes of the type of music heard in 'The Sea Devils' and 'Terror of the Autons', but here it is more catchy and yet still carrying that undercurrent of menace. Bob Holmes has taken a beautiful idea from Bob Baker and Dave Martin. And the acting is just faultless. A fav.
I couldnt care less about how good the effects are. What are important are the story, the actors, and the feel of it. Nowadays most "sci-fi" has great special effects and predictable, tedious story-lines. TV of this generationn was written by people who grew up reading books, which have a greater range of knowledge, ideas, themes, and personalities. the minds of most writers of modern TV. are lmited bec. they grew up watching TV.
It’s funny how Hand of Fear brought back The Three Doctors alums: Stephen Thorne as Eldrad who played Omega, Rex Robinson as Dr. Carter who played Dr. Tyler, written by Bob Baker and Dave Martin and directed by Lenny Mayne.
I remember my Mam telling me Tom Baker came to Newcastle. I was still in my pushchair. I still have a signed autograph poster in my wardrobe. Is he still alive?
The actual location was Stokefield Close in Gloucestershire, so neither South Croydon or Aberdeen, which, although I don't know much about geography, strikes me as a long way from London, but maybe I need to do more traveling. So, come on Doctor, I would gladly go for a few spins in the Tardis.
The problem with the character of Sarah Jane Smith in Dr. Who was that what started out as an attempt to break with the screaming assistant trope which started well in the Time Warrior and in The Dinosaur Invasion for example, and introduce a more serious, independent minded modern young woman soon succumbed to the inherent dynamic of the programme. The Doctor's persona, being advanced alien, can't help but overshadow Sarah's. Plus, Elisabeth Sladen's obvious beauty acted against her: viewers expected her to be feminine and cute, and one can't help suspect that she played on this somewhat. Her friendship with the Doctor created a double act that further pulled her away from her original remit: the Sarah we first saw with Jon Pertwee had undergone an irreversible metamorphosis and a nicer version, it has to be said, emerged verging on a one dimensional character. She was still highly watchable, of course, and played the part reall well ; and her rapport with Tom Baker was perfect. It was so desperately sad to hear of her passing and even at my advanced age ( 67 years ! ), I still watch the classic dvds from her era on the programme. R.I.P.
That lasting shot of Sarah Jane was what a massive character like her deserved, the best companion of all time.
Rest in peace Elisabeth Sladen.
Not so sure: would you really have Sarah Jane Smith at your side up against dangerous enemies, rather than say, Romana (the brains) or Leela (the brawn).
That last part made me sad I miss her , that’s the problems with endings I HATE ENDINGS they are sad
@@elrjames7799 true but that's from the doctors perspective, from a fans perspective it's more interesting to that dynamic unfold but that's my opinion not fact.

If you've watched enough classic WHO , the fact that they land in a quarry and it's actually a quarry " in story" is hilarious.
Every planet in Dr Who Universe always has a quarry.😀😆🤣
@@paulfleming715 As well as a North lol
It’s “Meta”.
I like the doctors comment " i don't know all the quarries" , i bet you do mate.
Classic Who is far better than New Who.
The way he looks at her just before she leaves is lovely.
Sarah Jane has always been one of my favorite companions. She is wonderful in this episode. I sure miss her. Cheers
I was at a meeting when I heard she died years later fact nobody could understand I was so upset except for the English guy who told me this was in America
@@markpettis2896
How old is Sarah Jane here.
I'd estimate, 22, 27,?
Love you old girl Sarah will always be missed by millions
It was a little sad with Sarah Jane saying goodbye, but this is still one of my favorite episodes.
it was a bit of a heartbreak
both the character and tbe actress struggle not to cry ...
I actually recall the end of that episode with the dog ' back in the 70s ' amazing what jogs the memory.
@@paulfrost8895 Yes, the dog seemed a little intimidated by Sarah Jane's badminton racket. And she looks up at the sky at the last instant as if the Tardis might be returning. I'd taped it off the TV, but sadly lost all my stuff in a housefire.
at least she went back home.
@@karlhelm875 And soon came the Leela and Romana eras. Those were really good, too.
Glad to see this one again even if it was much edited. This was my favorite console room on the classic show. Was sad to see Sarah leave. She was the greatest compaion of the classic show
The way Sarah was saying "Eldrad must live" sounded honestly insane!
I have this story on DVD!
Girl Eldrad is best Eldrad!
"Eldrad must live"...in a tuppaware box. 🙂
I love how there has been about 3 characters in doctor who that have become more than companions to multiple doctors but sarah always felt as if she was the true friend of the Doctor.

The hand coming to life in the box was the best cliffhanger ever, I watched it. I was 6. Brilliant.
Judith Paris is one of the absolute highlights in this story. I love to see her playing Elrad again and again. A very good one from the Baker era.
She was amazing! I recently saw an very recent chat with her about this episode -- it'll come up on a youtube search and she was a complete delight!
@@EstrafaDC Thank you for mentioning the interview. I never tried to look for one, and now there are at least two. A very humorous and likeable actress.
She was excellent, and strangely attractive. She has beautiful eyes.
An extremely gifted actress, she was wonderful in this episode.
spooky girl great dr who casting !
Sarah Jane was so good in this episode who else agrees

She was good in all of her stories. She was one of the best companions ever, at least in my opinion.
@@Technodiktator Not opinion, that's a fact.
@@hi-viz Well it's not a fact
U could be talking about any episode m8,she was such a vital part doctor who.

Do I have the right?…

This was a good comment until you spoiled it with the last line.
Enjoyed watching that. Brings back good memories.
Miss you Tom.
Rest well Sarah.

His best friend.
@@paulashe61 Exactly. I loved when the Doctor told people that!
Sarah at 12:30: "Careful. That's not as armless as it looks."

You've also got to love when the Doctor quietly crosses both his hearts with a smile.

Since when have they been doing this? This is the first one I’ve seen posted.
@@jacobharris5894 They did an "highlighted" version of The Masque of Mandragora earlier.
This isn't the full episode, but if you want to watch classic who they are all on BritBox.
there's a highlighted versions of Battlefield too

I think I have seen this episode before, but no problem watching it again
Rest in peace Sarah Jane ✌️

Tom Baker, God's gift to Who.
Tom is Who
This print and audio transfer are immaculate. Great job BBC (presumably)
This one was one of my favourites, thank you for this, I haven't seen it probably since it was released on TV in Australia xx
Tom Baker is Dr. Who. The only Dr. Who I can watch.
I like how they used whatever was around because they didn’t have much of a budget. So they made do with the landscape and whatever was available.

Monty Python and Dr. Who on TV.
Good times!
Thank you. This scared the bejinkas out of me back in the day.
Probably the saddest goodbyes in Dr who
My room got very dusty at Sarah Jane’s “Don’t you forget me” line
What a lovely way to put that😊
Thank you so much for posting this.❤️❤️❤️
Tom baker , is a wonderful actor with elizabeth sladen. R.I.P Elizabeth Sladen
R.i.p
My second favourite doctor who story of all time, one of my first as well. 10/10
One of my favourite stories
"Is it nice in South Croydon?"
No, Doctor 😆
So this is where siren head was made
My favorite Doctor. And I was young then too.
Love the way the bbc spared no expense on the special effects budget for this series. 😅
The end scene was filmed in Stokefield Close, Thornbury, Gloucestershire.
Another under rated episode
Tom Baker The Doctor, not just a Doctor but the definite you might say...
Why do I find it hilarious when Sarah Jane walks out of her room she has the doctors coat on like she’s threatening to steal his jacket she’s so upset 😂

Sarah Jane was gonna die in this episode, if she died, don't think I'd become a fan
What the hell did you just say
She didn't die in this episode.
Such a sad ending! I always remember seeing this in England for the first time before moving back to Australia.
Liz Sladen was SUCH a beautiful and talented woman
"Get out of it! Get out of it quick! Blake's 7 are filming just round the corner!"
Someone could have given that guy a megaphone (loudhailer) if he was a lookout before the blast!
Judith Paris is perhaps the best hottie villain of the series.
Yes indeed
Editing has killed this.. anyone uploaded the full episodes?
It’s funny how Hand of Fear brought back The Three Doctors alums: Stephen Thorne as Eldrad who played Omega, Rex Robinson as Dr. Carter who played Dr. Tyler, written by Bob Baker and Dave Martin and directed by Lenny Mayne.
No wonder Baker fell for her. She was so beautiful, and had lively spirit.
Eldrad MUST live.
RIP Elisabeth always😢
Why did Sarah look like she’d just come back from a Rod, Jane and Freddy audition ? 😂
"We're the ones who saved you. Cross my hearts."
But... I might be in a time loop, because you've put this up before!
Oh, it's a compilation!
Slightly disappointed that the entire comments aren't everyone just posting "Eldrad MUST live!"
My all time favorite Doctor and Sarah episode!
This was always one of my favorite episodes.
we want the classic series in brazil, please BBC!
This episode is awesome
Sarah Jane was so lovely.
0 downwotes - must be Eldred.
Agree.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be Sarah Jane Smith! She was so cool 😎
19:01 sarah's "hi" is hilarious
'Alien planets ' were usually quarries
love the incidental music..... you know you're watching classic Who when the horns and glock hits... :)
I mean fantastic episode but you should never NEVER skip the classic who theme come on
I remember my Mam telling me Tom Baker came to Newcastle. I was still in my pushchair. I still have a signed autograph poster in my wardrobe.
Is he still alive?
Yes
Nice!👍👍👍
Liz was so beautiful. Happy memories.
A whole episode! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s not. It’s a butchered cut down of the entire story. This is NOT The Hand I’d Fear as it was intended.
You look like Amy Pond
"You'll roast, man!"
"...Not if I'm quick."
The attitude to a potential nuclear explosion in Kent is staggeringly casual as well...just like a few grenades going off and a bit of sunburn....
The last time I saw this was the mid-80s! It's a classic Sarah Jane episode.
Tupperware, keeps evil fresh!
28:00 Best bit, so epic, better than all the special effects in NuWho.

You underestimate my power!
