"Seeds of Doom" is a cracking good Fourth Doctor adventure but my favorite part was when the villain of the piece forced the captured heroes to listen to his ambient noise compositions in his conservatory #doctorwho #goals

they/them - talk to me about TV idents and a certain unfortunate Doctor Who companion
Get to know me in five favourites (TV edition): 1. Earthshock - Doctor Who 2. Hearts of Darkness - One Foot in the Grave 3. All of Chris Morris’ Jam 4. Hatch - Still Game 5. Closing Time - Doctor Who
It’s even more egregious than that. The fact that it’s a child companion is one thing. The fact that 5’s speech at the start implies that we shouldn’t mourn people who ”choose” to die elevates it from bad to somewhat scummy.
Nash@radiodeadair.com · last wk.Oh, it happened earlier under Davison. Earthshock to Time-Flight. "A child companion just died. Oh well, let's go have a fun day out!" One of the most godawful episodes, based around the writer hoping to score a free flight on the Concorde.
Did this month by accident, but The Chase is a hilarious story to watch with friends. You simply couldn’t make it today; Daleks getting outwitted by makeshift traps, getting beaten up by Frankenstein, and generally leaving people in their vicinity alive (how nice of them!)
Tom N@aquatics64.bsky.social · last mo.This month's story challenge for July: A story where the TARDIS travels during the story Quote this post with the Doctor Who story you've watched/listened/read for July!
Isn’t Jo technically the first companion to try and actively murder the Doctor, instead of Vislor Turlough? Like sure she was under hypnosis in Terror of the Autons, but Turlough was being tortured and coerced…
Forgot about this nod to #DoctorWho during my One Foot in the Grave rewatch. “Could someone get me a bra of soup?”
My latest pencil drawing represents the Season 9 finalé, "The Time Monster." I wanted to draw Kronos, but I took a little artistic licence on this one and tried to make his mask more striking. #DoctorWho
I think the Parliament of the Daleks in Asylum is one of the most underrated concepts in NuWho. It reinforces that the Daleks are not mindless killers. It obscures their brutality under a layer of civility and culture, which is alarmingly relevant today. #DoctorWho
Tragically I can’t get to Romford, but this is such a great way to support local cinema. A rare opportunity to see one of the best #DoctorWho stories on the big screen!
Graham Ward@grahamward.bsky.social · 2w agoRomford’s independent cinema The Lumiere is hoping to have semi-regular #DoctorWho screenings. Please support. Earth Shock on 8/9 August. www.lumiereromford.com/search/romfo...
The Doctor messes around with the laws of time travel so much these days, crossing timelines, creating paradoxes and so on, that he should just say "Fuck it, I'm rescuing Adric".
IT ALL ENDS WITH A BANG. Here's my artwork poster of EARTHSHOCK, an earth-shattering story featuring the return of the Cybermen and the shocking death of Adric... ⭐️🤖💥 "Now I'll never know if I was right." #DoctorWho #FifthDoctor #PosterDesign
Delta and the Bannerman followed by Midnight tonight. They’re calling it the worst bus trip of the century.
Nothing will beat BBC2’s spooky 1990s offerings. Jumpscares and horror movie homages galore!
Scarred For Life@scarredforlife.bsky.social · 3mo agoIn the days of the old ITV regions, Thames television would regularly break out the delightfully spooky 'Thames After Dark' version of their ident, usually prior to shows like Armchair Thriller. Bring back spooky idents!
I spent three hours in Wetherspoons and I’m not even that drunk. This is more tragic than a Euripides marathon.
Can we get this style of cover back for DWM? I think we all need a good laugh now more than ever. (DWM #277 and #268) #DoctorWho #EighthDoctor #Adric
My dad bought me an autographed copy of Mark Strand’s New Selected Poems! I’m so excited!!!!!
Went into town today and it’s extremely funny to see all the old DVD copies of Doctor Who: The Movie lined up in CeX. If you don’t have a blu-ray player, now’s your chance! #DoctorWho
We have no grand metaphors, just an insistence to say where we come from without shame. The plain and direct language is the emotional core of the piece He acknowledges facing your past is difficult and that the bravest thing is not reinvention, but recognition. #poetry #poemoftheday
I don’t know what’s funnier: the fact that Adric hits the Doctor, or the fact that the hit is so bad the guy instantly has his life flash before his eyes LMAO #DoctorWho #FifthDoctor
#minimalmonday #poetry We live with mystery, but we don't like the feeling. I think we should get used to it. We feel we have to know what things mean, to be on top of this and that. I don't think it's human, you know, to be that competent at life. That attitude is far from poetry. —Mark Strand
