I loved Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane? so much, it was sad, thrilling, scary, and groundbreaking. This is how you make good kid’s TV.
Unfortunately it was written by Gareth Roberts.
Sadly, he also wrote what I watched next, Attack of the Graske. (Yes, it is more commonly known as a game, but I just watched a video of the full game.)
As an experience, this would have been great, but just watching as a piece of Doctor Who, it doesn’t hold up that well.
Preparing to have to drop the bad news when my friend and I start Terror of the Autons tomorrow.
Finished this today.
this is a really good ep. Successfully misleads you so you genuinely don’t know who the villain is for most of the runtime. The resolution at the end using helium in quite clever.
Some observations:
Watching The War Games IN COLOUR! This music is so overbearing! It really doesn’t fit with the visuals.
There is a thread for that 
Episode Discussion: The War Games in Colour
I know people say the music is overbearing but I found it mostly fine. I think it’s an age thing 
Just about to press play on Horror of Fang Rock Part 1.
Best one of a rather middling season
Four good stories out six isn’t bad. Okay, maybe classifying Invasion of Time as good is a bit of a stretch. But I really enjoy it. Anyway, finished Part 1 and what strikes me the most are two things. First, the effectiveness of the monster. A little bit of green glow and a few sound effects. Second is how easily this could be something other than Doctor Who. Take out the alien aspect and replace the Doctor and Leela with Sherlock and Watson, and you could have a great Holmes story, or even a Dickens-esque ghost story.
Wait, does this mean I’m old???
Not as old as Grandad…
The vibes told me it’s time to watch an old favourite and rewatch Brain of Morbius for the first time in almost a decade so I’m about to do that with a late breakfast.
Watching the Infamous Talons of Weng Chiang.
Loving the setting and nice to get some on-location filming. I had the location of the fight scene from part 1 pointed out to me in London recently.
Watching in 2025 though - this story is racist in it’s production and the story itself. This has been covered by more qualified people than me so I’ll just say that it’s regrettable because the serial is quite good.
Sleep no more was kinda awesome y’all hating on nothing.
I wouldn’t call it actually good, but it was awesome, you know what i mean? It was like actually experiencing an adventure with the Doctor and Clara. You get to see how awkward it looks from all the other perspectives when the Doctor starts speeching to one person in particular, and his babblings with Clara sound even more insane from these perspectives. Very funny. It’s even got some basic capitalism is bad, what’s not to love? Aside from the fact that it’s a horrible mess with so many faults that it barely even works as functioning television, but that’s the fun! Only in Doctor Who.
Awesome episode. 7/10 if I’m being really generous.
Watched Episode 2 of Horror of Fang Rock during lunch.
Watching part 4 of “Warriors of the Deep” this fine morning.
Hoping the Sea Devils gets to wear their fancy armour in “The War Between the Land and the Sea” 
Which of these do you think is more likely to happen in War Between?
a) The Sea Devils get to wear their fancy armour.
or
b) The Silurians get their third eye back where it belongs.
Is it too much to hope for both? 
It shouldn’t be, but prepare for disappointment on at least one of the two…
The look on Peter Davison’s face and the trembling in his voice when he says “There should have been another way” at the end is just such an immensely powerful and emotional end to an episode.
Jumping to series 5 for some more Silurian action as I’ve reached “Cold Blood” on my 2005 Who rewatch
I am hoping for a new design with only one eye!
