It's an interesting line that I really hadn't previously considered properly; this certainly suggests more back story to the Doctor than we see on screen. What has he tried, unsuccessfully, to change?
11:11 "Did this guy really just teach science at Coal Hill?". Well, no; a man of his age in 1963 would have served in the Armed Forces under National Service and with his education and class might well have been an officer. This would account for his natural assumption of leadership and combat skills. It might also account for the survival skills that allowed him to make fire back in the opening story.
As a science teacher, Ian no doubt knew enough biology and human anatomy to apply pressure to nerve cluster points etc, but more likely he learnt some unarmed combat during his National Service.
Might make sense,but that would imply Ian would have to be at least in his late 30’s or early 40’s to have served in WW2,I spose maybe he could have been to Korea,that would make more sense,but I would also ask if he was so good at unarmed combat from military service why would he bother to become a school teacher?
I always think about the role Barbara has. Considering how female characters were often written at the time, I found her taking the lead in the story unique to the times.
Many stories treating their female characters like Damzels in Distress, while Barbara is running over Daleks with a truck in Classic Who. What a badass woman.
It's kind of surreal to see the First Doctor have a romance arc. Usually you only see post-Classic Doctors deal with that. Even 2/Jaime and 4/Romana were subtext at most
One thing they do show and tell about what was great about the Aztecs is the way they venerate and respect and care for their elderly. Unlike us. Food for thought.
I'm pleasantly surprised by how racist the historicals aren't, thus far. Barbara's idea that the Aztecs wouldn't have been conquered if it weren't for the human sacrifice is very dated - she's *possibly* right in the sense that the Spanish found it very easy to rally rival cultures against the Aztecs because the Aztecs had a history of invading their neighbours for sacrifices, which certainly didn't help the Aztec Empire's chances of survival, but the narrative of Cortes the gentle explorer who only conquered the Aztecs because he was horrified by their religious practices has been thoroughly debunked - but other than that (which you can't really hold against the show, because this was the prevailing historical narrative at the time,) the story's take on the Aztecs is surprisingly sympathetic and nuanced.
Not just that but seeing as how the Spanish conquered so many other people that didn't do what the Aztecs did... It's pretty niave thinking they still wouldn't want to cut them down. Though you could also see Barbara as taking a kind of "white savior" role by trying to "civilize" the Aztecs.
@@hyperion3145 this gets the edge for Barbara's actions being somewhat condemned whereas in most white saviour stories the saviour is forever morally in the right
The Doctors little romance subplot is one of the reasons I hate it when some fans focus so much on the idea of the first Doctor being hard nosed anti-hero. It not only ignores the progress the character makes through this portion of the B&W era, but it kind of disservice Hartnell who was trying to branch out of tough guy roles. I swear I feel there is a breed of Whovian that just wants the Doctor to act like Frank Castle.
I have no idea who Frank Castle could be, yet I thought little romantic interplay between Hartnett and Aztec woman was wonderful touch. His expressions spoke volumes especially after she told him accept his proposal by drinking Coco...
@@paulhunter6742 Frank Castle is a Marvel character, a violent and brutal vigilante. when written well he's very interesting, cold hearted with tinge of villainy that makes you grateful his target is mafiosos and sex traffickers. A veteran from a war that became a vigilante after his family was ripped to shreds, though it always makes you think, and outright stated in one comic, that his real home was war and all his family's death did was give him an excuse to wage another war. When done well, it's done very well. Other times he's just a generic vigilante you'd get in movies and tv. A very interesting form of villain protagonist, he doesn't do villainous stuff to innocents, but he certainly has the temperament and mentality of a potential villain. Unfortunately too many fans don't get the memo and think he's a cool tough guy that can do no wrong. Needless to say, an exaggeration that a cold hearted Doctor could be Castle but I get where OP is coming from lol. Too many fans want the Doctor to be some sort of vengeful killer.
Imagine if Barbara had stayed for the Time Meddler after this attempt of her trying to rewrite history and then seeing the Monk who has suceeded in the past.
"But Ian puts a hell of a fight. Did this guy really used to just teach science at Coal Hill." What can I say? Chesterfield probably has a lot of stuff on his past we don't know about.
I've always liked to believe this is the first canon instance of the Doctor fulfilling his duties as a timelord. When he says he knows you can't rewrite history he's actually not referring to past experience. He's referring to his innate understanding of time that the ninth doctor later describes. I like the idea that that's the reason he gets so angry about it. Edit: Also, whilst I do believe that the doctor did have a deep respect for the woman (I forget her name) I think he was ultimately using her for information and had no intention of marrying her. It shows a deeper cunning and mercenary nature whilst also showing a more sensitive side to him. I've always thought the first doctor was incredibly nuanced in this episode.
I really like your point that the 'not one line' argument about changing history is logistical, because as a moral point I always found it a bit lacking - it's such a hypothetical.
"Serenity... we must have a garden of our own"... hmm, maybe this explains why the First Doctor was so fond of gardens towards the end of his life - Three Doctors, Five Doctors, the novelisation of The Massacre even has him hanging about in his garden in the prologue and epilogue.
I remember first watching this episode as part of the retrospective in honour of the 50th Doctor Who anniversary. There was a DVD set with one serial for each Doctor, up to Matt Smith. This was the episode selected for Hartnell’s era. It was really good, and I enjoyed watching it.
Same! I remember Steven Moffat doing an intro before the episodes played on TV pitching the episode to me about how this was before Doctor Who started mixing the the sci fi and alien elements with the historical past elements. It sounded a bit odd to me as a 15 year old who liked the sci fi stuff more, but I found myself really enjoying it!
The earliest surviving historical story, would be interesting to see colourised. This was the first example of illustrating the "web of time" that events are fixed in history, a theme to be revisited many times later. The romance with Cameca could easily have been played by Tennant showing this is still the same character
I've only seen NuWho and the First Doctor era, but it seems to me that Tlotoxl is the best human antagonist we've had in Doctor Who history. Great caracter and a great performance by John Ringham.
I literally just finished watching the Aztecs and jumped to watch this review, great stuff. Hopefully I'll have enough time to watch The Sensorites before the next review
Are Barbara and Evelyn Smythe the only 2 companions that are history teachers (or lecturer in Evelyn's case), if so then why? It seems like a super obvious background for a companion (or alternatively for a companion to be a history student).
In the original pitch for 'Doctor Who' (a series called "The Troubleshooters") the idea was for a group of scientists to explore space. However, Sydney Newman noted that the educational aspect might be difficult to communicate to kids at home as the scientists already know everything. It might be that same idea; there's more conflict if the character isn't as well informed.
Heather McCrimmon from Doctor Who Adventures comic was a history student at Edinburgh university. She was also a modern day descendant of Jamie McCrimmon.
@@alexbennett7018 Have we ever had a companion, who was the decendant of another companion (Other than Luke) on Doctor Who. If not I think that would be a good idea.
It's not true that the Spanish were unaware of the positive aspects of Aztec civilization. Quite the contrary, they were in total awe of it, as it appeared superior to their own. Cortez attempted to expunge the religion while retaining the overall civilization, which is essentially what Barbara is trying to do in this story. In any event, the idea of preserving the civilization of a conquered territory is a very modern one, and a product of a time when conquest itself is frowned upon, so it's rather anachronistic to expect people from centuries ago to think that way.
Of course the doctor takes it in his stride, he's got the best get out of jail card ever. . The TARDIS get your wheels wet and shoot of to any time you want 😊
I wish we'd had such a show. Time Tunnel was great too, but only lasted the season. An Aztec (or Maya) set episode here, since in and near the actual sites could've been amazing. And as much as i love the gibrant colors of the 60s shows there's much greater help with suspension of disbelief with black & white.
This is the first First Doctor story I ever watched in full, so it remains my sentimental favorite. Hartnell shines in this story, as do the other characters in the original TARDUS crew.
Either way Barbara would have failed. Had she convinced the Aztecs to abandon human sacrifice, the Spanish would still have seen them as ignorant savages to be killed or forcibly converted to Catholicism, and of course pillaged of their gold. Their culture would still have been ripped to pieces and supressed as ' heathen'.
As a children, I remember seeing this serial dubbed into Spanish in Mexico, that was in the 1970s, most of the nuisances passed over my head at the time, but I remember, that although I liked more Futuristic stories I liked this one, After seeing this resume, I believe the Mexican broadcaster and translator, edit and altered it in several matters.

I’m looking forward to seeing your rankings in the end. It sounds like this one might be quite high on the list, though I’m not that well versed in the 1st doctors era so there could be better stories still left to see
This is the only First Doctor story I've seen. I remember thinking it a good story and remember Barbara trying to save them and Ian getting into ritual combat with the Aztecs and not much else. But it was good.
@17:17..."It reads as a stereotype of those with disabilities or physical impediments always being the villains..."

I got almost the whole of season 1 of doctor who on Christmas and this is the first story where I thinking “RUN DOCTOR, GET OUT OF THERE!” For like the whole of the last episode
I love how in this story Barbara's sort of eurocentric bias of "good" things vs. "bad" things in ancient Aztec culture is put into question by the Doctor. There's quite a bit of 60's racism in Doctor Who yeah, but the way the moral cultural nuances, sensibilities and clashes are worked in this is better than many modern stories (of any IP, not only Doctor Who) imo, which just shows how DW was quite unique for its time, I think. Also, it works so well cause Jacqueline Hill sells the shit out of it! Loooooove when Barbara and the Doctor butt heads Also, the First Doctor FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS!
I've never cared too much for the historical stories in Doctor Who. But in the case of The Aztecs, it helped that I didn't know too much about the Aztecs, and that it was well-written, especially the part about Barbara trying to change history. It's really surprising that a show like Doctor Who, where time-travel is so important, that they don't cover this point very often. Can history be changed or can't it? If it can, then there's a lot more reason for the Time Lords to exist, as a sort of time police protecting the timeline, and it better explains how the Doctor became a renegade if he tried to make changes to the timeline that he thought would make things better.
The First Doctor says he will share a beautiful garden with Cameca so when he's pull out of time in Both The Three and Five Doctors he's in a garden so is Cameca his companion at those times 🤔
I love the azstech i got the special edition on dvd and i really like it William Hartnell is amazing it and William Russell and the actors who plays Barbara in classic Dr who looks like she is having a great time here and it is her best profamce as Barbara and the geust stars look like they are having an amazing time here
I remember watching this episode after David Tennant was having his face sucked at least once a season, and I thought "Wow, the Doctor was a hit with the ladies even back then."
Objectively, this title is false. The Doctor has a granddaughter, which implies he fell in love long ago and had kids who then fell in love and had kids. Good video though
"You can't rewrite history, NOT ONE LINE" [...] "I know, believe me, I KNOW" - Hartnell shines here. I adore this story.
