    1977, I remember being slightly irritated that my Ma was taking me to a signing in a Harrow book store, Preedys. I did not grasp I was about to meet Dr Who. She gently said, “Remember not to call him Dr. Who, his real name is Mr. Tom Baker. If you are good, he might give you a jelly baby.” Even at age 5, I was cynical enough to think he would be in jeans and t-shirt - how wrong I was. He was fully garbed in his Time Traveller gear and totally in character. I recall how tall he was, and his brown knee high boots, worn outside his trousers, immense, though he was seated. I did have the gall to ask him for a jelly baby, to which he laughed heartily and patted me on the head. He apologised saying he did not bring any, but there was a tea tray on his lap, overflowing with metal badges, displaying the Arrow Books bullseye logo. He gave me one and my tiny young mind could not take it all in. My brother was in school and remembers being momentously *issed off he could not attend. Thank you Ma, for taking the time to bring me to such a memorable event. I miss you every day. Thank you Mr. Baker for being The Doctor in every sense.......

After we had dropped him off, we walked through an alleyway to beautifully green hills in the warm sunshine, whilst I mentally carped, “What are we doing here?” My Ma put herself out of her way to give me opportunities like these for my betterment. I am sad to say, I often never fully appreciated them at the time, but on reflection, I would realise. Wish I had a TARDIS to be able to tell her properly how grateful I was. A timeline I would happily remain in.

I think I was in auto - pilot as the request of a jelly baby was primed by her, too. I am glad I let my imagination, wander/wonder. We were too poor to afford a book and I could scarcely read, but I can never put a price on that event she made sure we attended.

But not as much in the early years -- the Doctor wasn't confirmed to be non-human until the Second Doctor story "The Evil of the Daleks." Even with the regeneration, fans had no indicator as to whether that was a trait of the Doctor or a function of the TARDIS. The Time Lords aren't even mentioned by name until the final Second Doctor story "The War Machines" (possibly even the final episode).

    I must re-watch all the early Whos, from Hartnell to McCoy (1 to 7) Those were the best. Didn't have the FX but they were fun and well-written and certainly well-acted.

    They're all on the iPlayer at the moment. As a huge Pertwee and Baker fan growing up, and reading all the Target novelisations, I never saw the Hartnell and Troughten ones at all, I'm going for it. The Hartnell ones are a bit creaky but the scripts are great.

    When the Doctor is wearing the stereotypical Viking warlord getup, he has the headpiece on backward. You can tell because there’s a stone set into the front, which is visible when the Doctor is viewed from behind.

    @Only Me Thanks very much for that explanation, I presumed that a kids show would not have used the metaphor that someone who attends sex parties as modern hence why I knew they must have been a different explanation. I get that the metaphor could have worked, swinging being modern but it didnt seem appropriate and a change in the meaning over time makes total sense.

    At the risk of boring everyone, "Robot" is where I waded-in to the Doctor Who mythos. It was very early 1975. Our local PBS station, WHYY, Channel 12, Philadelphia/Wilmington broadcast the show. After seeing this original series, only "Robot", I somehow put Doctor Who aside for over 46 years. Didn't watch another episode. I was peripherally aware of Doctor Who moving on over the decades but I just didn't get back into the show until late-2021. Then I got BritBox and I re-watched "Robot". Ah, I had gotten old and Tom Baker was young again! I remembered scenes, bits of dialog, that massive Robot (of course) with the scenes filmed/recorded outside being the ones which came more readily to my memory. It was a revelation.

    I went to primary school with a Doctor Who nut and the BBC were so generous with what they disclosed about the series. He asked for a knitting pattern for the scarf and got a typed letter, detailing everything exactly!! He taught himself to knit and spent several weeks making it in the playground, dragging around a huge shopping bag of wools. The result was perfect and impressive and he was proud as Hell for two weeks. .....until the b@stard headmaster banned him from wearing it, as he classed it as a health hazard. A month later he wrote to the BBC and managed to obtain plans for a life size Dalek.....

Oh..PLEASE give us all more Doctor Who episodes as good as this one!

    The whole first scene with Ian Marter essentially feels like one seamless take. They are both 100% locked-in. In fact, 2:15-3:10 is one take. Tom Baker's suddenly violent jump rope whip. Ian Marter doesn't blink. Ian Marter getting right into the jumping without straining. Really, an incredible scene (in a somewhat lame story) These two likely practiced this scene for months given that this was both the first episode of the season and for them.
