Guess the Serial 39

A little late, but I suspect the day and time will be varying a bit. I’ve got 5 hundred… er, 5 screenshots for you to look at and try to guess the episode, plus a number of bonus ones. If you haven’t gotten it in 5, feel free to keep going, and I usually have some fun bonus screenshots anyways.

This will not include anything from new/modern Doctor Who.

The Answer is going to be The Invasion of Time this time around! So many screenshots, and Firefox crashed a dozen into this post. Fortunately, the draft autosaved…

I do have to wonder sometimes if I should bump up how many screenshots are considered to be in the base set of guesses instead of the bonuses. With as many as I take, 10 instead of 5 might not be a bad idea…

Needed three today :slightly_smiling_face:

Wow K-9 was banged up at this point… Also doesn’t Tom Baker look like he is drunk on set on that third screenshot :thinking:

Yeah, K9 was pretty banged up by now, but then, he gets a new revision at the end of the serial. And a bit, yeah. Tom was offering everyone a jelly baby this time around…

Did get some great screenshots, like Bonus 23 + 28 this time around…

Wish I’d had a copy from the Classic youtube channel to go off of, so the quality would’ve been a bit better…

Incidentally, doing this one was chosen by the on site randomizer!

Took me until Bonus 5, I’d know Andred’s pose anywhere. I really should rewatch this one, I’m interested to see how gallifrey has changed my opinion of it

I’ll admit, Andred was someone I did rather think people would recognise, which is why he wasn’t there until the bonuses, though I was thinking not showing anything but his legs, I might get away with it…

I couldn’t get it until well into the bonuses. Some very nice images there, but it was a tricky one for me.

Well, I did know when I decided I was going to post 5 pictures of K9 that it’d end up being a bit of a tough one. And the first few bonuses have a lot of the ones I would have chosen if I hadn’t gone with K9…

I also felt like I was taking several pictures of Timelords talking on their cellphones… :stuck_out_tongue:

Got it on three! (well, ish, I remembered the story but couldn’t place the name for a while)

Know that feeling! (And, I’ll admit, if I remember the specific story, I have no issue with double-checking on the name…)

I recognised the serial on three but needed until five before I could pinpoint the name exactly :joy: tough one with only K9 pics!

5 Likes

I think taking the pictures that were the first two I showed was about when I decided I was probably going all K9 for this one!

On the tip of my tongue throughout but bonus 4 got me there

I do think the red uniforms are pretty distinctive.

I didn’t get it, but then again I didn’t bother with the bonuses. I think I might have been able to get it with bonus 3, but who knows.

Didn’t get it. And it’s one of my favorites. Luckily it’s up for a rewatch fairly soon.

Got it in two. After the first one I was sure it was K9 in a location shoot since it looked like film, so that narrowed it down a lot. I thought Pirate Planet because I didn’t recognize anything that blue from Invasion of Time. Second picture, “nope, Invasion of Time was right.”

To be fair, seeing that does narrow it down to 22, maybe 23 stories.
