The Second Doctor:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I don't even know how to start talking about how much I love this man and his time as the Doctor. He is just phenomenal. It makes me so sad that he is the Doctor with the most missing episodes, saying that even though he has so many episodes missing, he still managed to become my favourite. I will always look back at his seasons happy, and I'd happily rewatch them over and over.
Another thing I love about the second Doctor is his companions, every one of them perfect. Polly and Ben make me so happy, I love them, and the fact they stay together forever makes me so so happy! And Jamie, honestly what would I do without Jamie Mccrimmon, knowing his exists as a character is the best feeling. I don't think I've loved a character as much, and watching him with the doctor makes me laugh, they're so goofy together.
I love Victoria and Zoe, they're brilliant, different yet they bring so much to the episodes they're in. I was unsure about Zoe at first, but she became one of my favourite companions ever.
I was so sad when 2 regenerated into 3. I still don't think I've healed. I just hope 2nd's episodes are found, I'd give anything to watch them.

Michael Craze pops up as Vince Kelly, a teenage runaway from a borstal centre, in Gideon's Way: Boy With Gun (1.23, ITC, 1966)
#fave spotting#michael craze#ben jackson#doctor who#gideon's way#1966#boy with gun#itc#a relatively rare fave spotting! outside of his DW work‚ Mike didn't make a huge amount of appearances in cult tv‚ at least not many that#survive or are easily seen; he'd previously starred in Target Luna‚ a completely lost serial‚ but didn't return when the show carried on as#Pathfinders in Space (oddly‚ perhaps because of a change of director‚ every single returning character was recast) and beyond#there were also episodes of Dixon pf Dock Green and Armchair Theatre but these are also in all likelihood lost tv; others‚ like an ep of#Hammer's sci fi anthology Journey to the Unknown‚ are frustratingly unavailable to the average viewer (I was really hoping Network would#do something with JttU after they announced an agreement with Hammer but alas it wasn't to be)#mike would have been about 22 when filming this ep (around May '65) but was still largely playing juvenile parts as here#(his age isn't given but as a borstal runaway he's clearly intended to be a teen); this aired in feb or march '66 in most regions‚ by which#time he had presumably been cast in DW (or very near to it; he'd debut in The War Machines in June of that year)#DW would act as a sort of transition for Craze from youth parts into adult roles (i mean Ben's own age is debatable but I'd say he's surely#meant to be at least 18?). there'd be some more guest spots and a few horror films to come (he was a regular collaborator with Norman#J. Warren) but he doesn't pop up with the regularity of many other Who companions so this was a lovely little surprise (zero memory of him#being in it from when i first watched years ago)

Really rough sketch idea for Ben and Polly in the mercury swamp, with the Second Doctor in the background.

Hmm... not sure what I think of the animation style. It seems similar (if not the same) to The Evil of the Daleks. I suppose they decided it would just be easier to make it in the same style, even with Jamie's clothes a bit off (which reminds me... I hope he and Ben will still be wearing those, ahem, wet suits...).
I know I know, beggars can't be choosers... and I am still curious about what it will look like in its entirety, fish people and all. :)

“He looks like that disc jockey.”
Britain, 1966. So ‘that disc jockey’ would, of course, be Jimmy Savile... malheureusement.

The time traveling alien known as the Doctor (Doctor 2) and his companions arrived on the Earth in 1966. The Doctor found a race called the Chameleons who had secretly invaded England. Due to nuclear explosions, the Chameleons had lost their identities and faces and were dying off. The Doctor learned that the Chameleons had been stealing people’s identities and miniaturized the originals to be held captive on a space station. At the end of the adventure, the Doctor’s companions Ben and Polly decided to remain on Earth. ("The Faceless Ones" Doctor Who vlm 1, TV)

Moment of appreciation to Michael Craze for giving it his all in this story, so much so that you don’t even need to see it move to know it.

A Day In The Moobase: Doctor Who Appreciation Society's Riverside III -- The Moonbase Event
A Day In The Moobase: #DoctorWho Appreciation Society's Riverside III -- The Moonbase Event
I was lucky enough to attend the last DWAS Riverside event for The Crusades so when it was announced that a follow-up event for The Moonbase was to be held there too, I had to grab a ticket. It was a good job I did it early too because the event sold out — and I can confirm it was packed! It’s fantastic to see that Doctor Who in the cinema can still pull in the crowds: take note BBC; please do…
