In my opinion "The Deadly Assassin" is the best Tom Baker era story. Even better than "Genesis of The Daleks". I like to see when The Doctor is challenged. In this episode, Doctor is not saving another world, but just trying to survive through the events of the story. "The Deadly Assassin" was even insipred Wachowski brothers/siblings/sisters to create Matrix. So, i appreciate cultural significance of this story.
In this opening sequence alone, Sarah's absence is felt. The TARDIS feels empty without her. After her being a companion for so long, it must have be weird, her not being there, for viewers at the time.
Nothing against any of Tom's companions, who were terrific, but I always enjoyed seeing him on his own in this episode. I wish there were a few more companionless episodes like this scattered throughout Who.
Daldi like imagine it. A doctor traumatic of war, facing villains that are literally bred for war. I think if we saw that in the show it would’ve been so emotional. He would’ve begged them to leave and stop, the sontarans would say no and then start attacking people, then Eccleston will have to destroy them. But then he’d feel horrible because he would’ve went down to their level and he would’ve been no better than them.

The nerve of Commander Hildred calling the Doctor‘s TARDIS obsolete and the nerve of the Castellan calling the Doctor a convicted criminal long after he was pardoned for saving the Universe from Omega.
He was still a convicted criminal though. Just because he’d finished his sentence doesn’t mean that he no longer has a criminal record. Also the business with Omega was most likely hushed up

1976. Founder of the Doctor Who Appreciation Society, Jan Vincent-Rudzki: "WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE MAGIC OF DOCTOR WHO?" [Edited anti-retcon rant from superfan Mr Vincent-Rudzki against The Deadly Assassin, a story he believed destroyed canon, lore, and the patience of true Whovians everywhere]: "Few Dr. Who stories go very much against what has been before, but recently this has changed. The following is not only my view, but that of many people. I've always thought T.L (Time Lord) names were secret and unpronouncable, so why do we suddenly know their names? 'C.I.A.' was certainly not appreciated, nor T.L.'s with bad hips. There is a time and place for humour and this wasn't it. Doesn't R. Holmes realise that T.L.'s are ALIENS and do not need to conform to human motivations whatsoever?" [On the "12 Regenerations" rule]: "Another fact forgotten is that T.L.'s ARE IMMORTAL. In 'War Games' the Dr said they could 'live forever barring accidents.' This had never been changed until 'Morbius' where we learnt that the T.L's used the Elixir if they had trouble regenerating. So why didn't the Master use the Elixir? We also saw in 'Morbius' eleven incarnations of the Dr (although in '3 Dr's' Hartnell was rightly the first) so now we are left with one more Dr, according to Deadly Assassin. THE NEW RULE for Dr Who seems to be 'anything pre-Holmes needn't exist,' which can't be good for a Script Editor! What must have happened is that at the end of 'Hand of Fear' the Doctor was knocked out when the Tardis took off, and had a crazy mixed up nightmare about Gallifrey. As a Doctor Who story Deadly Assassin is just not worth considering. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE MAGIC OF DOCTOR WHO? " Sound familiar? Ultimately, everything The Deadly Assassin changed, stayed changed. The old guard either moved with the times or moved on...while Doctor Who carried on regardless. A classic rant...Timeless, you might say ;)
You do understand that his criticisms actually are valid? And that the changes in The Deadly Assassin are more Gallifrey-focused, than Doctor-focused? Justify as you will, but think on that.
the TARDIS is fitted with a chameleon part which should mask the TARDIS with it's surroundings. However, the doctor's TARDIS has a running joke throughout the series that it doesn't work and stablised being a 1950's police box. Later episodes have tried to explain this a number of different ways, but they moreorless settle on as he's been on earth for such a long time the TARDIS rather likes that cloak and doesn't want to change. Although this goes against, "its only a circuit that needs changing" idea the first 7 doctors had.
The whole part in The Matrix towards the end of Part 2, all the way through Part 3, and Part 4 is one of my favorite things in all of Doctor Who history.
Even if Sarah Jane did go with the Doctor to Gallifrey after he received a telepathic call to return there, would the Time Lords treat her with dignity and respect despite the Doctor's TARDIS landing outside the city of the Time Lords? The Doctor was wise not to take her there with him because he feared it was too dangerous to take her with him there.
Calling a Time machine "obsolete" is referring to the value of a nonlinear object in a linear timeframe. Seeing TARDISes from other times should be of no note to a race of time travellers.
They mean it’s an earlier, less powerful model of TARDIS. We’re just used to seeing the Doctor’s TARDIS as the best one since we’re so attached to and familiar with it, but other Time Lords’ TARDISes are usually inferred to be made later on and superior in capabilities.
im sorry i find it hilarious that the scanner shows them looking right at the camera XD!! in terns of the scanner being on the top of the tardis this is funny ahha
Lots of camp theatrical costumes, synth music, someone dying on stage, and a guy talking about it into a mic, so hard to tell, is it Gallifrey or Eurovision?
The Doctor was wise to drop Sarah Jane back to England after he got a telepathic call to return to Gallifrey and feared that it was too dangerous to take her with him to his home planet. If she was with him when he returned to his home planet after getting the telepathic summons, would the Time Lords get cruel with her if she got placed into their custody with the Doctor because the TARDIS landed outside the Capitol?
@@TranscendentLion You may be right that the Doctor couldn't take a chance for the Time Lords to return Srah Jane Smith home to 20th Century Earth with her memory of the time she spent travelling with the Doctor erased.
@@azurerainbow4637 I would say it was safer and smarter for the Doctor to take, Sarah Jane back to 20th century Earth so the Time Lords could not erase her memories of travelling with the Doctor which they did with Jamie and Zoe which was very cruel and horrible.
Would the Chancellery guards dare shoot if there were women and maybe children in the TARDIS that the Doctor stole ages ago despite that the Doctor landed outside the Capitol after answering the telepathic summons to return home?
Even if the Doctor had a child with him in the TARDIS when he landed outside the city of the Time Lords, would their guards arrest the child whether the child is a he or a she and human?
Was the Doctor actually a convicted criminal at the that he stole the Tardis? All I ever hear elsewhere is that he simply stole the Tardis. Why would they let such a juicy detail as stealing it WHILE BEING A CONVICTED CRIMINAL fade into obscurity?
Because he’s already served his sentence. The Timelords finally found the Doctor in the war games and put him on trial for his stealing a TARDIS and interfering with other worlds. He was sentenced to exile on Earth and was forced to regenerate. A few seasons into the third doctor era the timelords lifted the Doctor’s exile and allowed him to continue roaming around the cosmos
No. The Chancellery guard were the Gallifreyan equivalent of the police force. The soldiers in the time war were just military. The Chancellery guard were also disbanded shortly after Rassilon’s resurrection as well so that he could form a new Internal Defence Unit
The actors still act as them to this day, (through Big Finish audio-dramas). But for sure, some (or most) of them would gladly return on TV, if not for their age.
I loved this monologue, first heard it in a video by Babel colour about the time war. This monologue would’ve been better used for the time war anyway!

Poor you. I've been watching Doctor Who since 1968 - and that episode is the only one I gave up on part way through, seeing it for the piece of utter garbage it was. Inexcusable dreck, of the worst kind. 'The Deadly Assassin' on the other hand, is superb. Full of startling ideas.

Notice how they call the TARDIS a capsule? Then it's a type 40 then it's a TARDIS. I thought TARDIS would be known immediately.
