In 1. And I’ve visited that location specifically because it’s in Doctor Who.

Got it in one.

Got that one in one! I know Amsterdam when I see it, plus I watched it quite recently– not incredible, but definitely an enjoyable episode. I always feel bad for Omega– it’s really interesting to have a villain who doesn’t want to destroy the universe, but just wants to exist in the world. Makes him much more sympathetic and tragic.

Two, but it should have been one. I remember very little about this episode other than the setting

I got this one in one.

One as well :blush:

City with canals that clearly isn’t Venice has to be Amsterdam right? :wink:

This was one where, admittedly, I wasn’t sure how much I could do to make it difficult. So I mostly just made it Tegan and Nyssa themed…

I haven’t actually seen the episode but I thought it looked like it could be Amsterdam

Got it in 2, I thought 1 might be that TARDIS team or maybe like four, romana, and Duggan, but I also thought it might be a Logopolis thing with them just being extras and the Doctor/TARDIS showing up on a boat.

The combination of Tegan in s20 outfit and Nyssa in s20 hair/makeup with s19 action Traken garb is only in arc of infinity. Nyssa wears earth outfits in Snakedance and in the black guardian trilogy.

To make it harder you should make like… mostly sets/rooms/outdoors, like scenes with no people in them, or scenes with no credited characters.

Believe me, I just took three screenshots of people’s hands, so it’ll be interesting when we get to that one… :tardis:

You mean take five different shots of the same character?

Think it was three different characters hands, just not much else of them was in shot, like a hand pushing a button…

I meant to say “You mean you didn’t take five different shots of the same character?” as a reference to that streak of Whodle where it was just five pictures of the same character.

Oh, I thought about just taking five screenshots of Tegan, but decided against it…

Got it in one! (I watched that episode recently and liked it, so maybe I just remember locations from it very well, lol)

In two! I admit that I believed the first one to be City of Death, but upon seeing Tegan I realised it was Amsterdam and that’s when it clicked!

In one! Amsterdam was a big giveaway, and I love this episode anyway

And handles rejected another one of my Guess the Episode drafts as NSFW. :adipose:

Which is especially fun since handles will reject it again when I publish it…

(Edit: Two of them now. Seriously, it thinks hands are NSFW.)

In case anyone’s curious, I took screenshots from several serials earlier today, so I was basically going and turning those into drafts for future “Guess the Episode”'s.

I also went and moved next weeks to be further in the future, since it seemed a little too close to this weeks in some ways, and would probably be easier to guess right now.
