Doctor Who for the rest of us

Because I'm insufferable and to allow ease of browsing, I've compiled all my Who reviews into an ebook that can be read here.

Nice one, cheers for that! I've already put it to use by checking what you made of the first couple of episodes of The Space Museum.

Terror of the Autons (1971, Pertwee, Jo Grant)
Now this is absolutely in my wheelhouse.  I always get on better with the terrestrials.  There is something almost out of body and vertiginous about the early Colour TV around the radio telescopes with pinks bleeding in to earthy colours of the lab, or whatever it is.  There's an interesting discourse around plastic.  Pertwee's Who is rather NOW LOOK HERE but appears to be able to take some ribbing from Jo, who is new.  The Master is good but razzes off in exactly the same coach that took the family to Holiday On The Buses, presumably giving the wanker sign out of the driver's little triangular.  9/10.

This was one of my favourites during my recent Who fixation. Perfect 70s brown vibes, reasonably pacy, Jo is great, kind of spooky enemies, that little fella rolling round on the back seat. Troughton and Baker probably have more top tier stories but Pertwee era is BBC soma for me.

Yeah I love Pertwee era, the closest it got to Quatermass and my first memory of the show.

Fantastic. I told you you should collect them! If there's one thing writing over 100,000 words about a TV show on Cookandbombd has taught me, it's that when you're done, you might as well stick them in a blog.
