Doctor RooVery sorry to hear that Jean Marsh has passed away. I'm afraid I didn’t see her playing Sara Kingdom in the 1960s, as I was slightly too young for the William Hartnell era of Doctor Who, but I came to appreciate the character in later life.Although I am a lifelong fan of Doctor Who, I shall always remember her best for her role as Rose Buck in Upstairs, Downstairs, a series that she co-created. Essential Sunday night viewing for my Mum and Nan in the 1970s.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DoctorWho" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DoctorWho</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/JeanMarsh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JeanMarsh</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RetroSciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RetroSciFi</a>

Magenta Rocks🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱🇲🇽I have arrived at Season 4 of classic <a href="https://mastodon.coffee/tags/DoctorWho" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DoctorWho</a> to find so many episodes are missing - even the one that has the first regeneration. :(Question for long time fans - what did everyone think of the regeneration plot back when it first happened? Its kinda brilliant really. It keeps the show going through cast changes.Also Dodo just abandoned the Doctor?! At least she wasn't left behind like some of the others. Not so sure about Ben and Polly yet. I still miss Barbara and Ian.

Gareth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧Watched this yesterday with my brother. Couple of initial thoughtsDid they play the “killed power to the whole hospital” as a “whoopsie!” scene for a quick laugh? They even put in the beeeeeeeeep of a life support machine as someone literally died. How many others did the Doctor just kill? Hilarious? I think not. Don’t vaporise the cat. Are you trying to upset me?Still not sold on Mrs Flood (and the breaking of the fourth wall), but if she’s Belinda’s next door neighbour, does that mean Belinda lives two doors down from Ruby?Right, those are the quickies that sprang to mind. The rest of the episode was pretty much fine. Typical Who stuff. A bunch of redshirts who get killed, the Doctor does a Clever (the ninth word thing), there’s a ridiculous twist (“planet of the incels”) and it all gets wrapped up with a small question left over (how did they get the certificate in the first place?)Fifteen is still great, I liked Belinda and especially the way she prepared to immediately call him out on how he’s dangerous and doesn’t respect people’s boundaries. Maybe she’ll be good for him, as a reluctant companion. I look forward to the rest of the season. Plus… “timey wimey? Am I six?” 🤣Oh, and one final thing about time travel that’s bugged me before - if they can’t get to May 24th, why not just go to May 23rd and wait a day? Not a biggie, but it seems an easy solution to me…Anyway. I’ve avoided recent trailers and didn’t watch the “next time” preview, so hopefully I’ll go into next weeks blind…<a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/DoctorWho" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DoctorWho</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/NcutiGatwa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NcutiGatwa</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/VaradaSethu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VaradaSethu</a>

Quotes from Classic Doctor Who“I don't know what to believe any more.” “Well, that sounds healthy, anyway.

Jack Yan (甄爵恩)Good start to season 41 of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DoctorWho" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DoctorWho</a>. Not as intriguing as season 40’s first full episode with Ncuti Gatwa. On the other hand, no goblins and singing.

Edinburgh ManSooooo. Did I miss how there were two copies of the certificate? Or was that just a hand wavy thing? <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/doctorwho" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#doctorwho</a>

InarticulateQuilterFelt worse about the vaporized cat than I did about polished-out-of-existence AlanBelinda calling out The Doctor on his transgressions was unexpected but welcome Get your shit together, Doctor. You can’t blow out power to an entire hospital. Hard to accept how deeply you cared about Sasha 55 when you’re all “oops” about everyone who probably died from that stuntI’ve known nurses like Belinda. I think I’m going to like her<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/DoctorWho" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DoctorWho</a>
