I went to the 1982 world's fair on a school trip in 3rd grade. I still have a souvenir brass model of the Sun Sphere.
The motto of the fair was "Energy turns the world", but the big stars were part of the Great Wall of China and the Rubik's cube.

The N word was probably less shocking in Britain at that time. After all, there was still a regular show on British TV that consisted entirely of men performing in blackface.

I saw something similar to Trim-Jeans in an Italian infomercial. I think it was called "Demi-Short". Women were shown doing household chores and drinking tea with friends, all while wearing Demi-Short.
Then it took an unexpectedly erotic turn.

I learned of that quite recently, when I had to take "The test known as The Life in the UK Test".

No. I'm sure that they'll reboot the series again well before he turns 40.

I think The War Games was originally written as a 6 part story.

That's like "Richard Hurndall bore a remarkable resemblance to William Hartnell."

It's not a professional product, exactly. The BBC crew members were allowed to use the equipment. That's what they did with it.

I don't think that The Daemons has been covered yet. It's pretty much the archetypal 3rd Doctor story.
Also, I've just watched Robots of Death (again). It's very worthy of discussion.

*Rumpole*

Their cover story was that she was an American who had grown up in Britain – and thus an American with a fake American accent.
JNT was obsessed with appealing to American fans, and he thought this was the way to do it.

Clodagh seems more intent on reaching Moscow than on rehearsing her new BBC2 series with Buddy Rich and the Younger Generation.

Exactly.
I've always thought that line was ironic – and probably intended that way by Dicks (or Holmes).

Nobody has mentioned the fate of part 4. It is the only missing episode that was never destroyed by the BBC.
The Tenth Planet was designated to be preserved as an example of Dr Who for posterity. When Blue Peter wanted to use a clip of the regeneration scene they borrowed episode 4, but it was never returned to the…

My favorite bit was when a cyberman casually put his leg up, framing a shot of the unconscious general like some cyborg Mrs Robinson.

For the record, I adore Warriors' Gate. I just mean that although they set out to have "science based" stories, they were really more `science inspired'. I used that example, because I read a piece where Steve Gallagher griped about it.

Poppycock! If he had seen more than just Smith, it would have been overblown.

Who did he play? This isn't listed on IMDb.

It's tragic that Hartnell fell ill and had to miss his penultimate episode.

When I was quite young, my father went through a brief interest in ESP and such things. He bought a book called "Mind Over Matter" and it was a familiar presence on the extensive bookshelves in our living room. I was a Dr Who fan for many years before I noticed that that book was written by Kit Pedler.
