beccaelizabethI went to Doctor Who class.
We watched clips from The War Machines and the last episode of The War Games. Which feature the War Chief and the War Lord. Oddly, I suspect the tutor got some muddled up in the middle there.
We watched the whole of the one where 2nd Doctor gets put on trial. I had not seen before. I'd heard about how it turns out though.
Zoe! and Jamie! No memories! :-(
... okay, I knew that from 5 Doctors, but now it's important and I glare at the Time Lords very much.
They did not have the big collars. But they still wore dresses.
I liked it a lot. The Doctor, who started out in early episodes all sulking about humans knowing about the TARDIS and telling them things can't be changed, starts getting more involved, and ends up going and telling the Time Lords off for not helping out the universe.
Could it be humans taught him how to be a hero?
I like when he explains how he ran away cause he was bored. So much for being all mysterious-exile in the first episode.
It's really rather odd watching these early episodes and comparing them and seeing which bits stick and which change and where things overlap and, I suspect, where the writers got hold of the DVDs and got all inspired.
Also, we compared stuff to Quatermass. And suddenly the Zarbi almost make sense. Iconic insect monsters were of win, of course. Just, um, it helps if they don't look like that. Or run into the camera.
We saw Very Scary Yeti from The Web of Fear. But not the Brigadier, cause that clip doesn't exist.
We saw the Brigadier introduced backside first in The Invasion. The tutor seems to think this is worst intro ever. Depends how you look, really.
And then, right at the end, because of course we need our heads messed with, he showed us a clip of Peter Davison in The Tomorrow People. Wearing only boots and swim trunks. And a wig.

And then, he showed it *again*, with the commentary on.
*facepalm*
I'll do the notes later when I've spellchecked them. I was noticing embarrassing numbers of typos today.
And now I'm really tired. Which given I was asleep all day is rather No Fair.
If someone sets the fire alarm off again tonight I'm going to... er, sulk some more, probably. *sigh*
How tired was I today? Invasion of Time arrived and I was too busy sleeping to watch it. And I still am.
