other shows musical episodes have nothing on doctor who's. one very repetitive song, existing almost entirely in the narration, a part from when two of the main characters a forced to give a performance of it at gunpoint. peak television or borderline unwatchable, who's to say

#buffy had the first musical episode #wrong #it was doctor who in the 1960s #just because it doesn't fit what we think of as a musical episode today #doesn't make that song any less omnipresent #doctor who #this is about the gunfighters by the way #which i love #although i fully understand why people would hate it when it was missing #and existed only in audio #also the only reason I know the ok corral happened on my birthday is this episode #i dont know if they mention the date in the story #or i found out when i looked up the ok corral while watching it #either way doctor who is the most accurate way of learning history

A telesnap redraw. I wish the first episode of Evil Of The Daleks were found, so we could see the 2nd Doctor moping around in a colourful 60's café (once colourised) and Jamie being severely out of place among people his age.

i recommend classic who but you really do have to suffer through the first doctor’s run. its not his fault that the editing is so bad and the pacing is so slow. free him

#1960s moment for real #doctor who #the doctor #first doctor #william hartnell #classic doctor who #classic who #dw #would love to see them all get reedited for pacing. no reason for some of these serials to be longer than 2 episodes

years later and i’m still checking the rose tyler/the doctor tags on ao3 because they’ll always be one of my otps and no one can match up to their dynamic, shut up no i’m not biased because she was the first companion i met

#rose tyler in the 1960s episode lives rent free in my head #there is just something i adored about rose and the doctor #rose always felt like all she wanted was the acknowledgement and love of the doctor #but even if she never got it #she loved him so much #the french episode killed me a little on the inside and then i died completely when rose left #like nine and rose and ten and rose were it for me #doctor who #tenth doctor #ninth doctor #eleventh doctor #the doctor #rose tyler

one thing i don't get is when people equate skipping nine to skipping classic who.

saying stuff like "but I skipped all of classic who so why do you have a problem with me skipping nine?" or "it's a bit of a double standard that everyone cares if you skip nine but nobody scares if you skip classic"

there is a big difference between series 1 and classic who

Series 1 is, other than having nine instead of ten, the exact same as all of ten's era. Series 1 was written very intentionally as somewhere you can start the show; it was written with the aim of getting new viewers into the show since it was seen as an ancient relic.

Classic who is extremely different to nuwho. Not in any way that makes it inherently inferior or superior, just different. Television in the 1960s has a lot less in common with television in the 2000s than the latter has in common with modern television. Watching classic who requires you to be familiar with the format of old television.

The average person on the street wouldn't want to watch hundreds of slow-paced black and white episodes that are often missing so are animated or a telesnap reconstruction. Whereas, the average person on the street would probably watch a television show from the 2000s.

Classic who is an amazing part of the show but it's firstly not required viewing to watch nuwho (unlike series 1 is) and secondly is a completely different format to nuwho (unlike series 1)

Series 2 opens with the expectation that you have seen series 1 but you probably haven't seen classic who. You should decide the order to watch the show in accordingly.

#doctor who #classic who #nu who #new who #nuwho #dw series 1 #doctor who series 1 #dw #In my personal opinion it's probably best to watch nuwho first then move onto classic who #and unless you're a huge nerd like me don't start classic who at the 1960s episodes #because the whole missing episodes shebang is a whole lot of stuff you have to know about and navigate #that I think most newer viewers would find too confusing and overwhelming
