Welcome.
I make videos about whatever I feel like on the rare occasion I actually get the inspiration and motivation to do so.
One day I might actually settle on a specific genre and stick to it but for now, I'm happy with my tiny channel and appreciate every person who takes the time to watch my videos :)
Always open to collaboration.

Amazing. Now I'm gonna go to this and take everything from the merch ! 🤣
i was just watching micah edmunds retrospective again and had no idea this existed
i'd love to visit that, it looks great
The Brigadier also leaves a message with the tardis when it miraculously arrives at the end. He's a dark horse having crazy temporal powers and yet still wants to rely on bullets.
The actor that sounds just like William Hartnell played Catweazle. An out of time wizard with no real powers. Great kids' telly from the 70s.
I do say I really enjoy Romana in this story, especially with that stupid guard. Also that random bloke at the end, who sacrificed his life for Romana was surprisingly good. But yeah Shada, a really fun story and the final 6 parter! (If you ignore the Two Doctors)
Nah I didn't like this one. Nowhere near as bad as Creature From the pit. I don't really have any strong feelings towards it, I just don't think I'll revisit it any time soon. The info text on the bluray said that when an actor had a serious scene, the rehearsal before would be their time to be as goofy as they wanted to get all the giggles out of their system. They didn't have enough time for this but the actor playing the main villain wasn't aware until it was too late. I think season 17 is my favourite of the graham williams era. Overall I've not been too keen so I'm looking forward to season 18. I know its got a fairly mixed response but it will be nice to have something new, a change is needed
I like The Horns of Nimon
Mid
Romana II gets one of her moments of looking down on other species coz she it a TIME LADY... it happens in the ship they board near the start.... those are my fav moments from her.
easily one of the most forgettable stories... as soon as you hear an eastern european accent, you know they are DEFINITELY evil in doccy who. it's a weird xenophobic trope. remember that guy in It Takes You Away? Remember Mr Razor in World Enough and Time? etc etc etc etc
This is not a guilty pleasure, this is just fun!
Graham Crowdon (emphasis on "crowd") was a very well known character actor, having briefly appeared in the Terry Gilliam film Jabberwocky a couple of years prior to this, for example. He would go on to star alongside Peter Davison in the 1986 surreal comedy-drama A Very Peculiar Practice, along with Barbara Flynn, who Doctor Who fans will know as Tecteun in the Flux serial. It also stars David "son of Patrick" Troughton. Perhaps Crowden's best known role was in the sitcom Waiting for God, set in an old-people's home. The manager of which was played by Daniel Hill, who played Chris Parsons in Shada. As a child who grew up in the 1980s (I was born in 1975), I'm fascinated with whatever it is that causes such concern for you!
Good job 👏
I enjoyed this one. Far from perfect, definitely not the best I've seen, but like you say, above average and good. Big step up from Creature From the Pit
If I had a nickle for every cat alien species on Doctor Who I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't much, but it's weird that it happened twice...
I like Nightamre of Eden
Do you?
Anyone got any Vraxoin?
This story for me is just very mid. Like it has good ideas but poor execution - a more watered-down version of Carnival of Monsters, speaking of which, shouldn't that scientist guy be breaking the law for homing animals in a small space like those performers in Carnival of Monsters? But anyway, nothing too special, also that Star Wars question is answered at the end of Rogue One, when Vader's Star Destroyer jumps out of hyperspace and a rebel ship crashes into it. Next week's story for me is extremely goofy, and I enjoy it for its silliness.
Oh my goodness I completely forgot to talk about the similarities to Carnival of Monsters! It was literally the first thing I thought of when I saw the scientist's machine. Also, I love that moment in Rogue One. I shouldn't laugh but it gets me every time.
I really hate this story 😊
What did the Mandrels do to you?
@@Dirvinator they were boring
Yes but they disintegrate into space drugs! Not even Daleks can do that... wait...can they? Hmm, might have to do some tests

Ahh yes the pit serial. The one where the Doctor does everything he can to not spoil the big secret that Romana is his sister. Sorry I meant the serial with the green big D. No seriously Romana is our Doctor's sister...since the actual "Doomsday" of the classic Whoniverse. When our Doctor was born inside the "Lost"/previous Whoniverse alongside the mankind that would "survive"the end of the "lost"/previous Whoniverse and become the Timelords inside the classic Whoniverse after both dying and loosing thier Earth to the Cybermen. And yes Romana have a few more "secrets" she forgot as she died when the Cybermen took over thier Earth. Shes the mother to the Master.... What? You missed it? Well 99.99999%+ of viewers missed it as RTD hid it so cleverly. The multiversal hybrid child that was "Romanas" brother had a mother from our Earth. And the multiversal hybridchild that you know as the Master was the child of.... scroll down for thw massive spoiler. The man born out of war and chaos + the Bad wolf girl.
I.... that..... *huh?*
@@Dirvinator Its actually increadebly easy to get once you see what actually happend during RTD & Moffat era. I take it you have seen those eras. And that you knw the basics of what happend. What almost none got is that the intro for the show have shown us something absolutly crucial this entire time during the new era. (now speaking justhhte RTD & MOffat eras) The TARDIS have been switcing Whoniverse inbetween the "classic" whoniverse & the "new" (Doomsday/Big bang) Whoniverse every time we saw something wedding related on the screen. Exactly inbetween we saw Donna as a bride in episodes "Doomsday" and "End of time" the TARDIS was inside the new WHoniverse the entire time (except for when it was in the "inbetween" /"a second out of sync" to where OUR Earth had been taken. ill soon return to this point but ill first point out how the 10th returned to see his mother and sister in End of time (Whcih he couldnt do within the new WHoniverse as they didnt exist there) (Rose had told him he could travel back into the classic Whoniverse in start of episode Journeys end). = Geronimo took place within the Classic whoniverse. (Now remember the series 5 intro) The disintigrating TARDIS blue timevortex and the TARDIS "turning" (jumoing) over to the red "RIVERS" (in lack off a better name) red Whoniverse timevortex. Next yo had the TARDIS in Elventh hour switch whoniverse TWICE in hte same episode. (first when he left Amelia (fro "12 years" and then in end when he left Amy and returned "2 years" later to Amelia that was about to marry... Wedding dress.... A man that had never existed (for Amelia) As Amelia only ever remembered Rory from Amy´s life. Due to exposure to leaking timevortexenergy from thier cracks in hter walls This went both ways... = this is why Amy remembered the DOctor from Amelias life (Exactly like Madame Pompadore (exposre to timewindows;) Lady Penforte (Silver Nemesis), Clara in Journey into the TARDIS/NAme of the Doctor; and the widow in the wardrobe sode tomention just a few examples of this) = eveery single time during series 5 we saw something wedding related the TARDIS switched whoniverse + and/or Amy/Amelia remembered someting from the other life (not requiring something wedding related) IF you know your DOctor Who you should be albe to spot all this above.... AS it was confirmed in the minsode "Goodnight" series 6 AMelia never had any periods; while Amy had = series 4 was within the new WHoniverse as Rivers was in it when she died. In episode Doomsday during the goodbye call with Rose 10th told us (Ihidden in plain sight) how the classic whoniverse was about to end. As he described how the classic whoniverse where being replaced by the new) "There is one last gap in the whoniverse that is about to close" This qoute above is a super clever description of just that. AS It in normal time shrinks down to a specific point in the near future. BUT It is actually spreading out from that future point in time as it spreads out from that point in the future.... = That moment = the same day/moment as seen in Big Bang 3 series later.... and the TARDIS "travels" without moving over into the new WHoniverse that forms outside the TARDIS and as the TARDIS is within the the new WHoniverse for the first time...(our Doctor may have beein inside it during the 6th Doctor era) = (not goinginto a spoiler I am not sure you have seen yet from the 7th Era (from the serial Battlefield) long story short in start of "Stolen Earth" episode the Earth is not where it was supposed to be.... HOW EVER! And this was also so clever.... The Earth that was not there...had never been there before... AS The Earth that was missing was not taken from the new WHoniverse. It had been taken from the classic WHoniverse. (from a point in time "after" the Doomsday but but before the classic Earth there had been "erased" out of eixstance in that collapsing whoniverse.. = In end of episode Journeys end OUR Earth (from the classic WHoniverse) was "returned" to the wrong (new) whoniverse.. = this is exactly the same as when the Earth that Rose and Jackie ended up on was taken out from thier "Lost"/Previous WHoniverse and thier Earth then fell to the Cybermen (and became Mondas) In the new WHoni9verse OUR Earth (Hidden/cloaked/Psycic shileded) will/have fallen to the Daleks just like Mondas fell..... and OUR Earth became New Skaro.... If you know your DW you should be able to see this once you relaise the other i have mentioned above... There are a ton of stuff that confirms the above and the absolut strongest "evidence" is something I am not sure you have seen yet. WHat I am gonna say without spoiling is that when you watch the "The Five Doctors" serial from the 5th Doctor era. Remember the Name of the Doctor episode. Where you saw the semisentient TARDIS as a dark tower in a dead zone acting as a tomb for the (former) Doctor on Trenzalore. Which is exactly the same as......but on Gallifrey... = You can from that confirm that everything is on an eternal repeat for each new WHoniverse where the events and out comes are always remainig the same while the details and people are able to be different There is alot more but if you realise the above what the switching TARDIS have actually been doing.... You can following the implications backwards... and one you realise that, you can being realise what i told u in the first input above. AND here comes the kicker that clinch it to the above not being just random coincidences. We have seen how the Doctor came to be not just once. But Twice. As each whonivcerse (out there) have its own Doctor.... And we have seen the origin for the new WHoniverse Doctor in the show (Hidden in plain sight) And if you know your DOctor WHo. In episode Fathers day; Rose Tyler´s father died by that car and by doing that the multiversal hybrid child Jackie Tyler later had (in DOomsday) in the show had became possible (again). AND We have seen this again in the show. How a person had its birth became possible by this very same event with a car NOT killing her father... And Clara is the new WHoniverse Doctor (but lets take tha tin an another input) just take my word for it atm. But you know about the leaf that "caused the accident (that never was) " It was in the Fathers day episode 2... Yeep. its right there in the Fathers day episode (this is a have to go see for yourself thing) but right there when Peter Tyler decides he have to die to save everyone in the church... The leaf is right there There iare ALOT more confirming the above.... but lets "continue" with this for now.. ...................... So did you get anything of the above? I totaly get if you dont as it requires alot of mindskill to be able to see beyond the veil the showmakers have put into the show but it all is right there if one begin see thru the veil.. and it is such a mindblowing AHHHHHHHA! expericene once one sees it... I wish eveyone could see it as it have been done so cleverly. ALl i can say is. Take the time to confirm the above: Its so well worth it. And begin with minisode "Goodnight" series 6 and really listen to what Amy says and it will begin life the veil about the 2 different Amelia and Amy thrhuout series 5 and from there follow what it means for Donna and the show... This is still absolutly crucial for the show till this day. This is the real reason Donna (and Tennant) is back. But as said the above is not for everyone as it requires some brainpower to spot. Hope i got you to atleast start see it.
Not unused content :(
there's a story in your future with villains who look like, well... I guess one day you will find out.
Aw what? No, please no! I can't handle any more!
I like I The Creature from the Pit
There’s so many things to hate about this story, I say it is the second worst Tom Baker story behind Underworld
I'd probably agree with you there
Egg. That is all
*E G G*
I really didn't like this one. I didn't hate it, but I thought it was really bad. Watching this after City of Death was like getting whiplash. I hate k9's new voice, and you can tell that this was the first one they filmed with Lalla Ward as Romana as she hasn't really slipped into the role yet. The design team definitely knew what they were doing with that creature, no behind the scenes special feature can convince me otherwise, Hopefully the next story will be better. I've heard a few say its a guilty pleasure so I'm staying optimistic while not expecting too much.
If the designers did it on purpose... I have so many questions. First and most obvious is *WHY!!!!!?????*
Just to confirm: that was indeed the moment I was talking about. Even now, it's hard to fathom the thought process behind it. I mean, it must have been deliberate, surely.
I like City of Death
Where’s the monsters everything’s all blank
Back when I recorded this in 2014, I was planning to record the show, but right at the start Peter Davidson asked the crowd not to film, so I kinda just... left the recording device on my lap and captured the audio. Believe it or not I used to record things like this on my PS Vita. Didn't even have a cellphone that could record just audio. Different times...
Hi, it's me. I'm the one who said they hated it with a burning passion. I do. They skrew around in paris doing absolutely nothing interesting for way too long. It's like I'm watching an 80s ad trying to attract tourists. I get it. City of love. Restaurants, architecture, the louvre. Sooo interesting. I get that it was a big deal at the time that they could film in Paris, but the writers are just way too smug about it. Then the plot kicks in and the writers think themselves so soo cleaver. This man is doing experiments with time travel so he steals the Mona Lisa to fund it but he has a bunch of copies he made DaVinci paint but he can't time travel yet but that's fine because he's spread across time so he can do that. Oh and of course he's trying to travel back in time to stop himself from blowing up his ship at the beginning of life on earth and he guides the entirety of human history so it's advantageous to him. SO WHY DIDN'T HE LITERALLY JUST GIVE HIMSELF ALL THE MONEY HE NEEDED TO BUILD THE TIME MACHINE IN THE FIRST PLACE???????? Also, we're going to casually remove agency from the people who made every single important choice throughout history and maybe turn all life on earth into his (admittedly largely unwitting) creation. What the actual F@**#@/k!
I felt like Emperor Palpatine reading that. *"Good, gooood, let the hate flow through you"* I'm glad I softened up on this and managed to find worth in it, which sometimes I really struggle with. But there is still a part of me that doesn't want to cut it any slack and focus on the stupidity. Also, is that confirmed what you said about the baddie guiding Earth's history? Coz I didn't get that at all. I just assumed he had different versions of himself spread across different eras, not necessarily in positions of power. But if that's true, then my goodness that's dumb. I can give him the benefit of the doubt since he's an alien with no experience with Earth history, let alone time travel. But no excuse for the amount of time spent aimlessly wandering.
FRESH DIRVINATOR POST 🗣🗣🗣🗣
@@VoodooBloo FRESH VOODOO BLOO BANGER!!!
Fun fact for Scaroth, he is played by Julian Glover who was in Doctor Who before as King Richard the Lionheart in The Crusade, he was also Donovan in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and, for me more noticeably, General Veers, the AT-AT Commander in The Empire Strikes Back.
I've blocked The Crusade from my mind. If I had to pick a least favorite serial, that would probably make my bottom 3. But I should have recognized his from Empire and Raiders, I'm such a fool!
this has similar status to Blink, and tbh both are overrated.... i think it's popular coz it's the season where douglas adams is showrunner, and everyone is foolishly super hyped about that and this seems to be the only story that has humour approximating what one might expect from douglas adams.
FINALLY, another casual 'Blink' enjoyer! As opposed to the sea of 'Blink' die-hards-who-will-cuss-you-out-if-you-dare-have-different-opinions.
I absolutely LOVED this one. I thought the pacing was great, each episode flows really well, the story just flies by. Romana had a lot more to do in this one, much more than Mary Tamm got to do in a whole season. Lalla Ward's chemistry which Tom Baker is great, although I've heard it completely falls apart next season when their marriage broke up. I loved the soundtrack, the best since Tomb of the Cybermen. There was a great balance between comedy and drama, Tom Baker was on top form showing the Doctor change between having fun and being in control of the situation. The directing really took me by surprise, great use of location and beautiful, unique shots that really add a lot to the atmosphere of this story, stuff I really didn't expect from classic who. I'm honestly really surprised theres no omnibus edition of this one as it felt like it really could be a movie. I probably wouldn't say its in my top 3 of all time, but definitely my top 3 4th doctor stories. Easily my favourite from the Graham Williams era so far.
Surprised you didn't mention Julian Glover of Indiana Jones renown as Count Scarlioni. Maybe you haven't seen it. Also, the writer for this, David Agnew, doesn't actually exist, being a nom de plume of Graham Williams, Douglas Adams and David Fisher; producer, script-editor and writer of the script this was based on respectively. I don't know if you remember, but I mentioned in a previous comment - probably Image of the Fendahl - about an outrageous moment in an upcoming story. The Creature from the Pit is that story and I look forward to your thoughts on the moment in question.

Eminem’s scared of him
Of who? Me?
2023, i took a flight from Malaysia to see FATM in NZ. I was at the lowest point of my life. All i knew was i needed to do something to make myself feel alive again, so i flew to NZ alone to see my favourite band. I almost teared up when she sang this because i did not expect this song at all. It almost felt like she did this for me. =)
They patched it and now it runs very good
Destiny of the daleks is messy
I'll say. Who's gonna clean up all those exploded Daleks!? It'll take *weeks* to pick up all those bits of metal a gunk.
The Daleks are never scarier than here. And the Time War rly enriches Romana's reaction to the Daleks. This season is the low point for Tom Baker. It's when you realise he has stayed on too long. The season after isn't much better either. At least this season has higher highs. City of Death is the Blink of the classics - good but very overrated.
