Guess the Serial 40

It’s time again to check five screenshots and guess where they are from! This will not include anything from new/modern Doctor Who.

Bit of a tricky one to put together. Doesn’t help that Firefox has been a bit crashy lately when I make these…

Incidentally, I finally got around to making a spreadsheet listing all the serials, which Doctor they have, and whether or not I’ve done a Guess the Serial post for them, which ought to make it easier for me to figure out what ones to do next.

I divided number of ‘guess the serial’ posts by number of serials per Doctor to get an idea of how much coverage they had. 1: 17.24%, 4: 21.43%, 2: 23.81%, 3/7: 25%, 5:35%, 6: 36.36%, 8:100%. Note that I only counted multi doctor episodes under the Doctor whose era it was, not all of them…

I got it in three! you’re right that the set is very distinctive, it was the layout that triggered my memory in that image

I’d tried to make sure to take a shot that showed as little of the architecture as possible, but I had a feeling… Taking shots of the Doctor and Cameca was so wholesome.

Got it in three, despite having never even seen this serial.

In two, that helped me narrow it right down. Love this one!

I got it at the third screenshot. I was lost with the first two! Love the bonuses. It’s such a great story.

In two. The first one had me on the wrong track, a little hard to see what it was other than dark. Backdrop on the second tipped me off though. Third confirmed it, but I had the right guess on the second.

In two. I knew I recognised the quilted clothing in the first image but couldn’t think where. Now I’m kicking myself. I love this story!

Yeah, I went with the first image because it was dark and you couldn’t see much of the clothing. So much of this story is recognisable that I was trying my best to not show too much of things that were giveaways. Reshuffled the order of the images a bit before posting, too…

I definitely enjoyed doing the bonuses. Some great shots, and I was doing this with the official Doctor Who Classic version, so I was able to get good quality screenshots.

I got it on 2. On reflection should have been on 1.

I love this one! Such a good Serial! Got it in two surprisingly, I don’t even know how I did that.

It is a great serial. Particularly hard to take screenshots of that don’t give it away, too…
