Can’t wait for the flow analogue inducer.
Doctor Who and the Dancing Scientists!
I've always liked this one despite its reputation. I still say the problem is the tone rather than anything about plot or production values. It has a tone pretty much unlike any other Pertwee, very light, fluffy, and juvenile, even in serious moments. If it had the same overall tone as The Daemons, I imagine people would like it a lot more.
And a turn from a certain ultra Glam Horror/Cult film Star , who was married for a bit to a certain Comedy Entertainter turned Actor .......
This story is such fun and I adore Ruth and Stuart who wills work well with a UNIT regular.
Maybe the story should have been called Carry on Time Monster.
At least the 'We've Done It!' song was better than 'There's Always a Twist at the End.'
That’s not hard
Pertwee's finest
The shouty old Professor was about to tell The Master to 'READ THEM AND UNDERSTAND THEM!😅
This time it was Paul who lost his shit! Normally it’s Thomas!
The actor with the rather baroque speech mannerisms in this same year played Lord Peter Wimsey’s solicitor Mr Merbles (Murbles?) in the mystery Clouds Of Witness, which also had ‘Uncle’ Noel Coleman (General Smyth in The War Games), Anthony Jacobs (Doc Holiday in The GunFighters), Graham Leamann (The Macra Terror etc) and quite a few other actors who have appeared or will appear in Dr Who. 🙂
This story was co-written by producer Barry Letts; he and Robert Sloman were "Guy Leopold" for "The Daemons".
For this episode and the next three, Roger Delgado's hairpiece seems to have been stuck on further down his forehead than usual. As a result, a bit of the bald patch on the crown of his head can be glimpsed occasionally. It's glued on back in its regular position for the last two episodes.
End of season - monies running out!
Schoolboy humour overloading!
1:11 ... what IS a "fine tooth-comb" anyway? Who the hell combs their teeth?
I love this serial if you don't take it too seriously and don't overthink it it's actually quite an enjoyable entertaining story.
This is one of the examples Pertwees one of my old time favourite Doctors.
Anyone who looks at a piled plate of haggis in order to get advice from... I rather like this story, but it's got its share of (eh, mostly fun) problems 😂
Great cliffhanger too
I think watched in the right spirit , this is a lot of fun, and I think you both seem already there !
Though there some very cool ideas in it, to be fair.
Perhaps this is The Chase of the Pertwee era?..
You might be onto something there!
Doctor Who is a very sexy show.
Yes, it's always been 'sexy'. Rogue wasn't such a horrible departure from the norm at all...
@@anthonygreen7063 It certainly did go 'rogue', that's for sure 🤣 Yeah, This and Rogue...It's almost like it's the same show 👀
All my life I thought that Ruth & Stuart were brother and sister because Stuart kept calling Ruth Sis.
Season Nine Review Question:
Who had the best experience between Stu and Ruth (Time Monster Ep1) or Barbara (Keys of Marinus Ep2)?
Remember that Barbara "had it off all night".
There’s probably quite a good story buried deep in The Time Monster, unfortunately it’s all played like a drunken am-dram production.
Granted after Ruth's bit about Men , when Stu turns round and says 'Let's Do It!' , for a hot second, it does seem like he's suggesting an unusual Mea Culpa on behalf of his Gender......but personally, I think Yates is more his type 😉
Paul is definitely a glutton for punishment - I can’t stand this story for the most part, as it majors on weak humour, dreadful dialogue and some decidedly overripe performances. I guess there is a “so bad it’s good” vibe if you are in the right mood, but for me it is mostly just bad. The dream sequence at the start sets the tone, but things really get cringe when the dreadful Ruth and Stu hove into view, while the Master’s dodgy Greek accent doesn’t help either.
Although Robert Sloman is the credited writer, he actually co-wrote it with Barry Letts, resuming the partnership that had begun on The Daemons. This time Letts insisted on Sloman having the sole credit, rather than the pair of them hiding behind a pseudonym, as Letts couldn’t be credited himself because he was the show’s producer. If I were Sloman I would have rather left my name off this cack-handed script. Letts was a great producer overall, but I really don’t know what he was thinking here…
Also, I'm always surprised when people don't pick up on the queer-coding of Stuart. I mean, it's not even that subtle for the era.
Double meaning. She's making an exception to him, even if other dialogue can be perceived another way. The more the merrier!
