Brits can take their grandkids to it and say, “See, honey. This is what Dr. Who was like before LGBTQPEDOQWERTY”.
I grew up with the Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker episodes.
The scene of the Daleks triggers me. Those scary fire extinguishers frighten me. I need a ‘safe place” until I get over the trauma of viewing this.
I wonder if there will be a U.S. release. Maybe Fathom Events could run it.
I had no idea Peter Cushing played Dr.Who.
I liked himein the Hammer movies with Christopher Lee.
His cousin ‘What’ was in charge of the Death Star ‘When’ it exploded. He came to a sticky end. ‘Where’? in a galaxy far far away..... “ )
Dr Who was just fine until they went woke and turned him into a woman. Huge fan of Tennant and Smith, so so on Capaldi and no to the chick.
Those Daleks always looked like they were ready to “Sterilize!” you, or unplug your toilet.
Characters Ian and Susan are from the original, first true episode of the show.
This episode, as far as I’m aware, has not lived through the years and masters and copies have both been degraded and lost. Again, as I understand, this episode has a few successful minutes of restoration.
The original told about the Doctor not as an alien but as a loving grandfather. He taught his grand-daughter about history by pretending the police call box outside was a time machine. Two teachers were sent to investigate her claims that her grandfather was a time-traveller.
Further details are lost and while I am NO Dr Who pro or lover (Which is why I say “as far as I know”) it was designed to be a children’s show teaching about history. Fanciful travels forward in time were to show the effects of the things that we do.
I could be wrong here.. if I am I’m sorry. But the original Dr Who script seemed like a better idea than what we got now. Which is TERRIBLE sci-fi.
I mean seriously Britain can not CAN NOT write or produce sci-fi to save itself. I guess that is what you get when the state owns the media and it’s funding.
