PAUL SMITH a History of Classic Doctor Who on DVD EvErY disc • EvErY episode • EvErY ExTrA COMPILED BY PAUL SMITH A History of ClAssiC DoCtor WHo on DVD One of the enduring appeals of Doctor Who, and a reason why it’s still going strong after half a century, is that it’s like no other programme on television. Whether you’re old enough to have been watching since the first episode in November 1963 or you only became hooked during the series’ recent fiftieth anniversary, you can probably list half a dozen ways in which Doctor Who stands apart from other shows. Whenever you think you have a handle on what the programme is or can do, it spins off in a new direction, whether as a result of casting a new incarnation of the Doctor himself or by reviving something from its long history that leads you to discover a whole aspect of the series you never realised was there. That history has never been more accessible than it is now, with all but one surviving episodes — including those rediscovered barely more than a year ago — available to watch in pristine quality on DVD. The current series, of course, has been released in regular series sets since its revival in 2005, just like any modern show. Even if you’re just now catching up with the 21st Century adventures of the Doctor, seven series with around a hundred episodes isn’t that daunting a prospect in today’s scheme of things, when marathoning the whole of a programme like 24 or Lost is a popular way to spend one’s evenings. However, that’s barely a third as long as Doctor Who’s initial twenty-six-year run, even accounting for the shorter episodes back then and the fact that many of those from the 1960s are still missing. But that needn’t be off-putting for the intrepid viewer interested in dipping into the Doctor’s past, and in fact the way the Classic Series has been released on a story-by-story basis, rather than as modern-style season boxsets, makes this easier than it might seem. A show like no other Most drama on television, from the medium’s early days right up to the present, fits one of two formats. There’s the serial, in which a self-contained story is told over a number of episodes, much like a book with chapters (indeed, television serials are often adaptations of books). One needs to watch every episode in order to follow the characters’ experiences and enjoy the unfolding of the story. Then there’s the series, in which each episode generally tells a one-off story (or maybe two as a main plot and a subplot), but there’s some continuity of characters, location and situation over the course of the episodes. Thus, once you’re familiar with the setup, you can watch random episodes and still get a complete narrative, but there’s more depth to be gained from watching them all and following the characters’ development. If a serial is popular it may be brought back to tell further stories with its characters and become a series, although each block of episodes usually tells a self-contained story. An example would be 24, where each season is yet another day in the life of Jack Bauer and the team at CTU, but over successive seasons there are developments in the characters and their relationships that reward returning viewers. Similarly, a series may run the occasional two- or three-part storyline, especially at the climax of a season, but generally each weekly episode is a largely standalone story. This is the norm for police and medical shows from Z Cars to Juliet Bravo to CSI, and from Dr Findlay’s Casebook to Casualty to House, with a case of the week but ongoing characters. More recent programmes have created slight variations of these standards. Police procedural Waking the Dead, for example, was a series that presented each case over two episodes, making it a series of two-part serials, whereas Lost had little closure at the end of each season let alone each episode, making it essentially a long serial told over several series. Soap operas are another unique case, being essentially a never-ending serial. And a third, less-common structure is the anthology series, where each episode is a totally new story with fresh characters and situations, but linked by a theme, such as all being murder mysteries or horror stories. When Doctor Who was being devised in 1963, it was always conceived as something different, combining all three formats: an anthology series of serials. There would be continuing characters, as in a typical series — the Doctor and his companions — but they would regularly find themselves in a new location and a new story, as with an anthology.

  • DOCTOR WHO LOGOPOLIS Christopher H. Bidmead Based On
    DOCTOR WHO LOGOPOLIS Christopher H. Bidmead Based on the BBC television serial by Christopher H. Bidmead by arrangement with the British Broadcasting Corporation 1. Events cast shadows before them, but the huger shadows creep over us unseen. When some great circumstance, hovering somewhere in the future, is a catastrophe of incalculable consequence, you may not see the signs in the small happenings that go before. The Doctor did, however - vaguely. While the Doctor paced back and forth in the TARDIS cloister room trying to make some sense of the tangle of troublesome thoughts that had followed him from Traken, in a completely different sector of the Universe, in a place called Earth, one such small foreshadowing was already beginning to unfold. It was a simple thing. A policeman leaned his bicycle against a police box, took a key from the breast pocket of his uniform jacket and unlocked the little telephone door to make a phone call. Police Constable Donald Seagrave was in a jovial mood. The sun was shining, the bicycle was performing perfectly since its overhaul last Saturday afternoon, and now that the water-main flooding in Burney Street was repaired he was on his way home for tea, if that was all right with the Super. It seemed to be a bad line. Seagrave could hear his Superintendent at the far end saying, 'Speak up . Who's that . .?', but there was this whirring noise, and then a sort of chuffing and groaning . The baffled constable looked into the telephone, and then banged it on his helmet to try to improve the connection.

  • Doctor Who: Castrovalva
    Still weak and confused after his fourth regeneration, the Doctor retreats to Castrovalva to recuperate. But Castrovalva is not the haven of peace and tranquility the Doctor and his companions are seeking. Far from being able to rest quietly, the unsuspecting time-travellers are caught up once again in the evil machinations of the Master. Only an act of supreme self-sacrifice will enable them to escape the maniacal lunacy of the renegade Time Lord.

    DOCTOR WHO - it's a question and a statement... Compiled by James Deacon [2013] http://aetw.org/omega.html DOCTOR WHO - it's a Question, and a Statement ... Every now and then, I read comments from Whovians about how the programme is called: "Doctor Who" - and how you shouldn't write the title as: "Dr. Who". Also, how the central character is called: "The Doctor", and should not be referred to as: "Doctor Who" (or "Dr. Who" for that matter) But of course, the Truth never quite that simple As the Evidence below will show... * * * * * * * http://aetw.org/omega.html THE PROGRAMME Yes, the programme is titled: "Doctor Who", but from the very beginning – in fact from before the beginning, the title has also been written as: “DR WHO”. From the BBC Archive Original 'treatment' (Proposal notes) for the 1963 series: Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/doctorwho/6403.shtml?page=1 http://aetw.org/omega.html And as to the central character ... Just as with the programme itself - from before the beginning, the central character has also been referred to as: "DR. WHO".
