The Whovian With a Small Collection Reviews

  This story is the first missing story in my marathon, all 7 parts of Marco Polo are missing which is an extreme shame. Like I said in my last review Marco Polo used a lot of money, from the costumes to the sets. The timeline code is s1.4 and the story aired 22nd February 1964 - 4th April 1964. Before I get into this review, the story has sone characters using yellow face it is wrong then and is wrong now, I’m not gonna act like it didn’t happen but I am not going to let it effect so story, as it’s a product of it’s time. We start with roof of the world, The Tardis team rush out to see what Susan and Barbara have found, it appears that they have found a large footprint in the snow at the top of a mountain. This story starts off very well you truly feel they are all one United team now which is amazing. Anyway after the events of The Edge of Destruction the Tardis had ran into a technical difficulty, meaning they can’t get any food or water or fly the ship away. Which is quite terr...

  On to The Edge of Destruction the first bottle episode of Doctor who on tv and timeline code s1.3. This story is very interesting behind the scenes, with it being only made because Marco Polo ate up the budget. Anyway into part one The Edge of Destruction. The episode starting where we left off, the Tardis seeming to crash and everyone being knocked out. Slowly the crew start to wake up and instantly the vibe is all off, everyone’s memories are fuzzy and OMG the music. This early hum being used though out the beginning. Soon Susan wakes up and goes to get a bandage for the Doctor who’s cut his head, Barbara being the one we follow for most of this story is then startled by Ian. William Russell plays Ian wonderfully here very unnerving. We get a moment where the Doctor rambles while he’s asleep about leaving with Susan. I love how through out this timeline marathon, this episode kind of gives me vindication as it references quite a bit of S0a n S0b. Anyway Susan comes back with th...

  Here we are The Daleks time like code s1.2, it broadcast from 21st of December too the 1st of February. The story has 7 parts a much bigger story then the last We start with the dead planet again setting up an amazing atmosphere with just our regular 4 though out the 1st part. We are reminded of the radiation gage from the last cliffhanger. It seems to be a forest planet, but the plants seem petrified, everything having a molecular change. I love how Ian and Barbara are so human, they take the travelling in their stride but have amazing 1 to 1 moments about it. Barbara sees an animal from the planet but Ian points out it’s turned to stone, but the Doctor points out how this creature isn’t stone it’s metal. Susan has an amazing moment with Barbara talking about the Tardis and her grandfather with her, I really like the gradual drops of development the group have, the writers know how to split the group up. The 4 reach a clearing and spot a city, the Doctor wanting to go and advent...

Well here i am, the first TV story of Doctor Who. An Unearthly Child timeline code S1.1.This story was broadcast on 23rd & 30th of November and 7th & 14th of December. the general consensus around this story is the first part is amazing the last 3 parts are fine i wonder if my thoughts will match Episode one starts the atmosphere is on point from how we follow a policeman to the Tardis. We then cut to Ian and Barbara last scene in an unearthly woman who are now taking an interest in Susan, they offer her a lift home but Susan declines. Carol Ann Ford really plays up Susan’s weirdness. Ian and Barbara decide to follow her home, they are played wonderfully in this from their curiosity to their fish out of waterness of the pair. They talk about Susan in the car and you really see why they have an interest in her, Susan tripping up and giving away her knowledge in class. The two see Susan and follow her into the junkyard meeting the Doctor, William Hartnell plays the Doctor so well...

An Unearthly Woman written by Matt Fitton was released in August 2019. Timeline code  S0B.3 *spoilers* The story starts with a woman, P.C. Pond being assigned to totters lane. The woman makes the original policeman assigned to the area loose his memory with some memory erase perfume. This police woman also seems to be a new substitute teacher Ms Song, Susan is sceptical of the new teacher. Ms Song also meets Ian Chesterton the science teacher who invites her to a drink at the Red Lion. We learn this woman's first name is river, river song. At the Red Lion she meets some more teachers, one being Barbara Wright, the history teacher. She expresses an interest in a student, a relatively new girl to coal hill. River joins in the convocation this pupil is a a girl named Sheila. A very good misdirect making us think shes talking about Susan, however she is one of Susans friends. With Lloyd and Sheila hanging out with Susan at the local park, Sheila splitting off and the other 2 walking al...
