Or the carriage! No, wait, probably not…

On the other hand, Ian, Jamie, and Rory all show how a male companion can work well.

Just thought of two more: there's also some doubles in the Pertwee-era Auton serials, and Tegan gets multiplied in "Kinda."

Great list! I almost hate to mention it, but you left out the twins from "The Twin Dilemma."

None, really, other than I find both Nessie and the Drashigs kind of funny and endearing at the same time that I recognize they're meant to be scary. (And *were* scary to me as a kid.) It's just one of those "imagine how frightening this monster would be if we had the budget to pull it off" things that are part of…

If I wrote up "Carnival of Monsters" directly after "Zygons," we could have two stories in a row where the "giant" monsters are clearly hand puppets.

D'oh. I knew that and forgot. I'll change the reference.

Thanks for the tip. I did end up buying legal versions on iTunes, but couldn't get them to play properly, so Dailymotion was the only way to go.

DDB9000: Yes, that's "Man Out Of Time" off of "Imperial Bedroom."

Ah, I forgot about that one. Yeah, it's "The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve," which is missing all four episodes.

My mistake, thanks for catching that. I'll make a correction.

Though I might do "Terror Of The Zygons" first anyway since they're appearing in the 50th anniversary episode.

Honestly, I'm really stoked. To get nine episodes back is great enough, but "Enemy" and "Web Of Fear" are two of the ones I've most wanted to see.

Not quite true. There's also the Fourth Doctor's "Meglos." But that's probably best left forgotten anyway.

Well, you may be right. My understanding had been that the Futurama character was named after *both* the symphony and the Doctor Who character, but this interview suggests that Groening is not actually familiar with Doctor Who.

So now I don't know what to believe any more. It's like you've…

That's what I reviewed, was the new DVD. I think it looks great, you should pick it up.

Haven't heard that, but in a deleted scene Jon Pertwee doubles as a radio announcer, so maybe the Doctor went into broadcasting.

Eventually, I hope to review everything, including the rest of "Trial," but it makes sense to start at the beginning of that season.
