Four guesses. Those first three gave almost nothing away :+1: Good game today :grin:
Love that story!

Thanks!

(Bonus 2 was at one point in the main five, but I switched it out due to a vague feeling that it was too recognizable. Screenshot 2 was one I was pretty happy with, too…

I didn’t get this one at all.

I’ll admit I kinda wanted to get a tough one in. I shuffled around the pictures a few too many times on this one, really.

Kinda a serial I want to rewatch, though I tend to end up feeling that way after posting one of these…

And you are correct. That’s when I got it! I couldn’t quite place it before that, but I knew it was a Pertwee-era episode.

Four. A tough one today!

In two. An underrated serial.

It took me four this time. I’ve usually done a lot better than this, but the first shot had me guessing in the B&W era, then I jumped to Mind of Evil. Also, there were a lot of “held at gunpoint” cliffhangers in the Pertwee era. Not my best result.

I could have got it from any of the bonuses though.

Nice to know my gut was right on that one!

One concern I actually had on this one was that my copy kept shifting between colorized and black and white for different sections, and I was wondering how identifiable it might make it if my screenshots kept going back and forth between them…

Ooh you actually got me this time. Got it in four but doubted myself even then.

Probably because this was practically the last story released on VHS so hasn’t had as many watches by me.

Four was one I deliberately placed low, too, because actors are always more recognizable in screenshots. I remember number two went further and further up, partially because of how much I liked the screenshot…

Didn’t get this one. Mind you, I haven’t seen the episode in question… does that get me off the hook? :laughing:

As long as you correct that at some point! :stuck_out_tongue:

Absolutely :saluting_face: I definitely haven’t watched enough 3rd Doctor stuff, and this is one of those I’m really looking forward to!
