I love those sad eyes the dr does when he realised he’s done something wrong and wants to apologise and can’t and wants to even the 12 th dr could do it I think through out it’s history of the show you got to love the dr the charioteer is such a big softy and so sweet I wish all rl drs and nurses were like him, I still don’t understand why they say that the dr will stand in the Ruins of gallofrey and rules it about the progeny of the hybrid I mean he’s never hurt anyone of anything he’d make a good ruler and we know he is a hybrid but I think the protect is wrong the dr is a good man. If he was tHe one tectay who started the time lords and regeneration goof on him through genetic experiments good on him giving birth to life going to a isolated planet and giving the planet life not takeing free will away from people I’d do the same prolonging life saving lives helping out shouldn’t be illegal as long as you don’t take anything against the persons free will or try not to be god should be fine marking life better for everyone is fine it should be fine the others way against their will trying to be god is bad and they say that he blow up gallifrey and than ok that was bad but he saved his race and the universe from suffering and death he couldn’t bear see his people suffer he didn’t want his people to suffer I mean he is half human after all to save lives lives must be sacrificed to save millions so he put them out there misery and saved them I would have done the same thing.

Watching the Doctor's embarrassment at having been fooled by the Rani while he was still confused after his violent regeneration, it makes sense that he went on to become the 'mastermind' type, always preparing ahead. In a way one could say he wanted to always have the upper hand from there on out to avoid something like that from happening again.

Nice one on coming up with a plausible reason why Seven changed so much after 'Time & the Rani".

@RopeDrink

7 жыл бұрын

7 doesn't lie, he just keeps EVERYTHING to himself. He barely even keeps his companion(s) in the loop - everyone, friend and foe, is a pawn in his game. This would be worse than lying if only for the fact that he does care deeply for his pawns, going on to be a father figure for his next companion and (against her better wishes) trying to help her overcome her fears and build her up, but doing so by dunking her into situations she fears and hates (without warning). Here he's confused due to the sudden regeneration and hasn't a clue what's going on -- later, he made it his business to ensure NOBODY BUT HIMSELF knew what was going on until he could say "Checkmate". The only notable exception to the 'lie' is his speech in Curse of Fenric where he has to go against Ace and almost literally break her heart and spirit, but this was a necessity.

I think Mel is the cutest character on the show

I love that most of these scene looks and acts like something I would have done in theatre inprov class. That fight sequence. oof.

Bonnie Langford's indelible acting style has always revolved around exuberant stage performance since first gaining attention as a young child and is, of course, not in the least out of place when it comes to any high-profile theatrical presentation. Throughout the sixties and through much of the seventies one can freely observe that television performance by artists who had essentially originated in the world of the theatre was still quite acceptable in terms of the means of conveying their allotted characters to an audience via the TV screen. Sylvestre McCoy is another highly experienced comedy actor in that same rich tradition with a long list of stage credits to his name including many a leading role he was given by the prolific playwright and theatre director Ken Hill at the Theatre Royal Stratford East, including "Dracula" (as the Count himself), "Bloody Mary" (as a bold pirate), and "The Mask of Zorro". Needless to say, one invariably emerged from the theatre feeling thoroughly exhilarated after such outstanding productions as these.

On the bright side, there are still audio stories expanding upon the Classic Doctors.

I wouldn’t mind the rani return

sadly Kate O'mara passed away in 2014. She was a great actress who had a long and very successful career playing many different kinds of characters.

I've been making my way through a lot of the classic clips the official DW channel has been putting into playlists. As someone who is completely new to the 7th Doctor, McCoy's take seems pretty fun, with a nice manic energy.

A giant rat with a lightsaber. I liked McCoy's expressions when Mel described how different he had become.

I have never watched a Seventh Doctor Serial (currently trying to watch classic from the beginning, so far almost finished with second doctor) but Mel looks like an excellent companion

Formerly a Time Lord companion, she's now living a normal life in Albert Square.

Oh, he appears right through the fourteen "Trial Of A Time Lord" series. If you do a search for it on KZread, you can see bits from him. He's the one in the skullcap being snide to the Doctor.

can't believe its 30 years ago when this came out

Rani really sports that PipBoy.

I don't care what the idiotic fans say, I love time and the rani it was my introduction to dr who when I was 7.

Doctor Who "rocked" back then. I much prefer the "low budget" appeal of the show as opposed to the just another "big budget special effects laden" sci fi series. "Cheesiness" is what lead to it's charm for me and why it earned such a huge cult following. They did what they could with the budget they had. I love this scene between the Doctor & Mel even though the 7th Doctor & Ace are my favorite. Fun Stuff!

@KendrixTermina thats brilliant i love the way u put that

Mel would‘ve been surprised if she had seen the Doctor regenerate with her own eyes,but she didn‘t due to being unconscious in the TARDIS when an explosion knocked them out just before the Rani hijacked the Doctor‘s ship.

While Mel and the seventh Doctor IMHO weren't as strong as Seventh and Ace, this is quite a cute scene. I love how Mel flips the Doctor and the two fight. Given the Doctor has only had one person see him regenerate in recent times (Rose with the 9-10), this charm of how the companion reacts to seeing a new Doctor is missing. Plus - it seems they're more accepting of the Doctor now than in the past - save Amy and the current one.

The Valeyard was an aspect of the Doctor between his twelfth and final incarnations, and the Time Lords used him to try and condemn the Doctor to death, as he had knowledge of the Time Lords destroying almost whole life on Earth.

@Busterseyes I have to admit your reasonings are part of the reason I love the current run of the show with Matt Smith as the Doctor - I am glad they toned down the special effects this season. I don't mind some effects and the planets do look better with some CGI; however, I have felt a lot of times the first four seasons that there was TOO much of it.

No wonder the Doctor wants to be ginger. All the gingers in Doctor Who seems to rather awesome.

I love Mel so much

Apparently they did their own stunts.

Mel was the best companion ever. It was this story that made me a Doctor Who fan. Has the best cliffhanger ever at the end of Part One, when Mel is trapped in a bubble.

Am I the only one who thought that the Monster who works for the Rani was holding a lightsaber?

@kyon813 He went from grumpy& irascible to hobo, from hobo to serious action-hero, from dandy to unkempt bohemian, from eccentric to dashing hero, from sensitive and pensative to determined and huge ego, from flamboyant to subtle, from cunning and icy to hopeless romantic, from gentle and naive to pragmatic, not-good-with-people and manic, from serious and moody to bubbly and pacifistic, and lastly, from constantly depressed to slighly harsh, open about his feelings and completely bonkers.

That's great! Can't wait! Only thing is... 3rd March 2010 is a Wednesday, but Anytime March is good for me. Paradise Towers next!

lots of planets have a scotland

The Doctor did the airplane spin!

@Busterseyes Ah they still have a budget in the new series. They often have to cut stuff they plan down to a mininum.

0:23- If only Mel did that more often like the Rezzies in Paradise Towers, if she had she'd be slightly like a young feminine Pertwee.

@ericinwisconsin I agree it's out there, but there *is* a possibility that in the time that we don't see Mel and the Doctor together (the gap between Mindwarp and Terror of the Vervoids) there was a case where the Doctor nearly regenerated or was ill and warned her it could happen but didn't. It doesn't help a whole lot that Mel is one of the few companions - Susan the other I know of - who we meet already traveling with the Doctor.

In Last of the Timelords The Master appeared to know about Rose absorbing the time vortex....even though they never actually met.. Also, in Logopolis the 4th doctor said that sometimes Timelords have the same mind. With the Rania being a Timelord (or Timelady) she would somehow know some of Mel's character.

It is! March 3rd next year! :D

@ericinwisconsin She's been travelling with him for quite a while (tough mostly offscreen) so he must've told her sometime, perhaps before pulling some stunt where he wasn't sure whether he'd survive it.

@Busterseyes Tell me about it! I'm STILL waiting for DOCTOR WHO to come back to TV because the "New" series(2004/Eccleston to Tennant) is more like a spin-off. The old series, for me, had more character (litterally!) because they had to be clever to make it work. The things they didn't have were time and money, so they used what they had in abundance... Talent and imagination! And the 7th Doctor and Ace were a GREAT team! Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred became my faves too!
