Here we see all of the Doctors, from the first to the most recent. All of them. If anyone tries to tell you that there are more, politely point out to them that they are mistaken and then get on with the rest of your day. #DoctorWho

Today is National Pop Goes the Weasel Day, apparently. Watching 'The Prisoner' at age 13 in 1983 completely rewired my psyche. To this day, I can't hear that bouncy rhyme of socioeconomic despair without being reminded that Patrick McGoohan awakened my fierce independence and deep skepticism of authority. Be seeing you. #ThePrisoner #PopGoesTheWeasel

Peri Brown, played by Nicola Bryant, appeared in eleven Doctor Who serials between 1984–1986. During most of that time, it seems, she was disorientated. #doctorwho

Photo from Jeremy Bulloch’s 2005 blog archive - jeremybulloch.com/2005.ASP That’s me in the Boba Fett suit. I spent the day cosplaying to draw crowds for Jeremy’s signing at The Videodrome Store in Worcester. He was an extraordinarily nice chap. We spent the quiet moments chatting about Star Wars, Billy Bunter, and Doctor Who. A day well spent, long ago. #starwars #bobafett #maythe4thbewithyou

Still one of my favourite passages in any Doctor Who Target novelisation! A shame this exchange isn’t in the televised version!

Turlough, played by Mark Strickson, appeared in ten Doctor Who serials between 1983-1984. Although, during most of that time, it seems nobody had much idea of his whereabouts. #doctorwho

Episode 1 of 'Invasion of the Dinosaurs' was just titled 'Invasion' to avoid spoiling its shock T-Rex cliffhanger. But... "...swinging London has been invaded by something from even further back in time - prehistoric monsters!" - Radio Times, 12-19 Jan 1974 edition. #doctorwho

If it was 1974, we'd be watching the final episode of The Monster of Peladon this evening - first aired on Sat 27th April... fifty-two years ago. #doctorwho

Just watched Dark Places (1974) - a delighfully creepy British psychological horror. Great cast: Christopher Lee, Joan Collins, Herbert Lom, Robert Hardy... and the lovely John Levene. Yes, Sergeant Benton himself! Wonderfully atmospheric old-school chiller. Real slow-burn dread!

My first exposure to Cyberman, this day in 1975. Often overshadowed by the Hinchcliffe masterpieces that follow, Revenge of the Cybermen is stark SF with a new take on Cybermen, atmospheric location work, and the Doctor, Sarah & Harry trio on top form. Great finale for Season 12.

DID you know? These photos — including a bird’s eye view of the various sets — from The Daleks’ Master Plan: Volcano was from a collection of colour pics that was never supposed to be made public by request of their owner, of which several (below) slipped out?

Such a shame the range includes a Ncuti Gatwa figure - I can't abide him or his era. Being a build-a-figure set you have to buy them all, or buy none. I've made my choice; hard pass. Had the collection been all Classic Who figures you couldn't have taken my money fast enough!

44 years ago (15 Feb 1982), The Visitation #1 aired with a cracker of an opening! Witty script, gorgeous period setting, the brilliant Richard Mace (I wish he'd returned), packed with action, tension, heroics and dastardly reptiles. Glorious stuff! I'll 'av me posset now. #DrWho

Today (13 Feb) in 1965, The Web Planet premiered. Early experimental Who; fully alien world, no humans beyond the crew, butterfly people, ant overlords & eerie Animus. Bold, atmospheric, genuinely weird. But slow pacing, annoying bleeping & greasy lenses make it a slog for some.

Today in 1966 (12 Feb), Doctor Who: The Massacre Ep 2 'The Sea Beggar' first aired. All episodes of this story are missing from the BBC archives & considered lost - but I reckon one'll turn up someday. A friend claims he watched a great VHS copy at a Local Group meeting in 1984.

Today in 1984 (Feb 8) part 2 of Resurrection of the Daleks first aired. The Daleks free Davros to cure a virus, triggering a chaotic civil war, a shocking amount of violence, and a huge death toll in '80s London. The horror of it all makes Tegan quit. A dark, high-stakes classic.

Today in 1970, Part 2 of 'Doctor Who and the Silurians' first aired. Hulke's complex script flips monsters into ancient denizens reclaiming Earth. The Doctor brokers peace amid paranoia, failed diplomacy and genocidal schemes. All culminating in a bleak ending. Peak Pertwee.

Doctor Who and the Trifles. A short video I cobbled together, just for shits an' giggles. Can you name the episodes each clip is from?

On this day in 1965 (February 6th) Doctor Who viewers saw the final episode of The Romans (Episode 4: 'Inferno') original broadcast. It brings the First Doctor's delightfully chaotic comedy of errors in Emperor Nero's court to a thoroughly satisfying close. (continues ⬇️)

William Hartnell is clearly having the time of his life with Dennis Spooner's irreverent script; his comic timing is impeccable. Special mention too for guest star Michael Peake, who delivers a standout performance as the sly, secretly Christian courtier Tavius. Oh, strentiatum!
