1:23-1:32 Everyone must think the Brig has some "if I told you I'd have to kill you" important military job, but most of it is just baby sitting a childish space alien
I just love how Benton's filling in for Jamie as 2nd's companion due to Frazer Hines being unavailable to take part in "The Three Doctors" as he was doing Emmerdale Farm by that time.
No wonder Three disliked the Brigadier at the start of his run, he remembered all of his interactions with him like this and how arrogant he was! You can see Two trying to reason with him like Three does but to no avail. It’s only later when the Doctor proves himself through action that the Brig listens
What a shock it was for the Brigadier when he saw a lot of sand outside UNIT HQ and he thought that he,Benton & the 2nd Doctor were transported to another country before realizing that they‘re on another planet in anti-matter universe.
The commentary for the moment he looks out the door consists of whoops of laughter from Manning and Courtney -- partly for the way the set-up required him to spin around to gawp at the camera. Why shouldn't he think they were somewhere else on Earth (or even another planet in our universe)? Once he accepted that he was in another universe, he was back in form.
I'd love to see what 12 would do in the same situation. "Oh nonsense, Benton, I tell you that's a beach out there --" "WE'VE F*CKING TIME TRAVELED, YES?! We're in a weird and wonderful world where everything is different! Maybe outside the polar ice caps have melted! Maybe there's f*cking robots knocking about! Maybe -- maybe you can download rice!"
I attended a Doctor Who convention last year and I heard Katy Manning utter the words, “My giddy aunt!” It must be a popular phrase on the other side of the pond.
There's a great bit in Tomb of the Cybermen where The Doctor and Jamie each go to grab Victoria's hand to comfort her, but grab each other's hands instead, don't notice for a few seconds, and then quickly drop them reflexively when they do realise. Patrick Troughton and Frazer Hines thought it would be funny, so they improvised it in the take, knowing the schedule was so tight that it would have to be left in rather than reshot.
A pity that Mike Yates,who was Captain of UNIT when Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart made The Doctor his scientific advisor after getting exiled to Earth,didn‘t get to see the inside of the TARDIS,3 different incarnations of the Doctor at the same time,a visit to another planet and to meet another evil renegade of the Time Lord race.
Literary my favorite scene with my favourite characters xD But at 1:12 has me laughing it looks like they landed in north Texas or Arizona not a planet xD
2:20 'im fairlyu sure thats cromer' ha ha ha ha its so good. ITs a really nice thoughfulness in the writting about who the brigadere is. At heart he is really a kind of small world military man. He has been laucnhed outside the galaxy but he cant think outside of England. It's such a funny and enjoyable scene.
Too bad the the Doctor's original assistant at UNIT didn't get to see the Doctor's previous selves. She would've been surprised to see 3 of him at the same time.
I idea that they lost part of the unit headquarters when the Tardis was captured was a pretty funny and bold idea for its time. Its a bit like an episode of the Goodies.
Mike Yates,who was a Captain of UNITat that time,would‘ve been surprised to not only see the Doctor‘s TARDIS larger on the inside but also seeing 3 different incarnations of the Doctor and being on another planet in a universe of Anti-Matter with Jo,Benton,the Brgadier & 2 civilians.
Though I have seen this scene many times over the years, I had only just then noticed it's the one and only time I recall seeing a clear front view of both the outer Tardis doors open while the thicker inward opening doors are shut. New Who did away with including the inner heavy doors, I can only guess the Tardis had enough mods and security upgrades over time by then to not require the big inward opening doors anymore.
1:12 oh my god, you are killing me. Get the f*** out of my room, i'm playing minecraft. (Proceeds to throw the controller onto the floor and does a perfectly cut scream)
I always found it strange in Classic Who when they'd have characters chat inaudibly in the background. I'm sure it's just an old television thing but it always bothers me when I don't know what they're saying!
As the Troughton serial "The Wheel in Space" saw the Doctor use a function on the TARDIS that made the interior appear like a real police box, I'm just assuming the Doctor uses this function frequently and they can therefore get away with showing the real interior of the TARDIS prop.
Maybe 3rd set up a hidden camera or something in his laboratory in case UNIT HQ came under alien invasion and they had to take refuge in the TARDIS, which ended up being the case in this serial.
0:25 - Problem with this view on the TARDIS monitor is where the hell was the TARDIS monitor getting this view, as it is showing the TARDIS. It can't be the TARDIS camera, it has to be a camera in the building, so why would the TARDIS have access to it. Someone missed that in 1972.
Is it me or is the Brigadier more aggressive and shrud in this story then any other. First story I showed my father and now he thinks the Brig is a stuck up asshole
I’d sooner have low-budget monsters with an entertaining and imaginative story and a well written script than a crummy story with poor characterisation with massive special effects being used to paper over the cracks.
@@GrilloTheFlightless yeah I would agree but when the monsters are just bin bags with bits stuck on and painted it is a bit daft.Its like they didn't even Think about let alone the budget.Even for low a budget it's bad
Alex Hetherington It’s not just a matter of budget. It’s also a matter of time. The scripts frequently demanded quite complex and extravagant things from the designers in terms of sets, props and costumes but, as well as the low budget, they usually only had a finite time to figure out how to do it, make it work and get it in front of the cameras. The turnaround for making an episode of Doctor Who at that time was frantic to say the least, and every 90 minutes worth of Who had only a fraction of the time that a 90 minute movie would take to make. Which inevitably leads to corner-cutting, rush jobs and no time to remake things that didn’t work. It’s rare that things went perfectly, and not uncommon for them to look really bad (such as the Gel Guards from 3 Doctors). It’s certainly not the case that they didn’t think about it. A lot of thought often went into design, but the designers just didn’t have enough time to give it the level of thought that they would have wanted to. It certainly wasn’t for lack of talent. The costume designer at the time was James Acheson who, as well as designing Tom Bakers first costume and a number of more successful monsters, has also won three Academy Awards for his costume designs in movies. It’s very easy to sneer or poke fun at some of the monsters in classic Who, but I’d love to see modern Who designers do any better with the time, budget and technology that was available back then.
@@GrilloTheFlightless well that told me.What you said though is exactly my point the designers were probably very good but because of time and budget were very finite and that's one of the reasons why all bbc stuff looks the same.Don't get me wrong I'm a huge fan of doctor who but some of the classic episodes haven't aged well.Now because of how strict the the bbc are doctor who suffered and the same is happening to the modern episodes that's why the ratings are going down and down.Ive seen better effects in other TV shows if the time and with small homemade projects today with smaller budgets.
In the Troughton story "The Wheel in Space", the Doctor reveals a TARDIS function where the inside appears as that of a real police box from the outside. I just sort of go with that whenever the interior of the TARDIS prop is visible during Classic Who rather than see it as a production error.
@DeathLynes But it's set in 1973 and I thought the 2and and 3rd doctor used the same TARDIS for this story. Do correct me if I'm wrong though. Thank you.
After watching the Troughton serial "The Wheel in Space" (or rather reconstructions as Eps 3 and 6 are the only two surviving episodes), I prefer to think it's a TARDIS capability the Doctor uses frequently.

Delicious Kawaiigami A quite literal Omega level event happened. Omega (see: partners to Rassilon later betrayed), was mad at being left behind in an "antimatter" universe while his fellow timelords moved on in the normal universe. To fight back at this he decided to drain their usage of the Eye of Harmony. The Time Lords were able to summon enough power to bring the second doctor forwards in time to his third incarnation but since they were squabbling had to bring the first doctor (still portrayed by William Hartnell in this special) to settle them down. At some point Omega decides to steal the whole of U.N.I.T HQ after transporting the third doctor to his universe but then realizing the second doctor was at U.N.I.T in the T.A.R.D.I.S and couldn't have that. This scene then happens and some other stuff later on including the supposed destruction of Omega and the restoration of not only the usage or the Eye of Harmony but also the Third Doctors dematerialization circuit and his knowledge of time travel along with the codes necessary to do so. Before this restoration the Third Doctor was exiled to Earth in one century sometime around the 70s (you may have heard this referenced in the new series a bit). He then travelled a bit longer as his third self and his other two selves had gone no longer needed for the time being but then after a while he got extremely irradiated and regenerated into his fourth self and then later his fifth where we'd see the return of three and two as well as one (portrayed by Richard Hurndall this time), while four was sort of stuck in time-limbo. The fifth doctor travelled a bit more then regenerated into his clown outfit but had some of the best episodes. One of which being Trial of the Time Lords. Sort of like if the end of the last episode of Troughtons official run had been a full episode instead of a clip. He then regenerated and turned into Mr. First to be Scottish/Seven. Not too much special except for the fancy question mark umbrella. He regenerated into shortest on screen run of a doctor in existence aka Eight, who didn't on his own will regenerate into a Warrior bit forced himself to. The Warrior/The one who broke the promise completed this half regeneration by regenerating into Nine who was absolutely fantastic and should never be skipped. Nine turned to Mr. Shipsfordays McGee aka Ten. Ten got obliterated (good riddance) by radiation and turned to Eleven who although having a horrible redesign of the Daleks in his run and getting an annoying teacher for a companion in his later run. The Lone Centurion thing was pretty good with the companion known as Rory Williams/Pond. Eleven became Twelve via a new set of regenerations granted by the timelords and Twelve although having a bad start got some traction later on. Twelve will come full circle counting down to one and regenerating to Thirteen.
Thanks for your reply but isn't that kind of too much information? I've been watching doctor who for like eight years. I have seen all of the new series and different bits of the classic series so I have a general understanding of what happened prior. I just wanted to know what was going on in this scene. I already knew the latter half of your reply. Clara seemed to have good chemistry with the doctor. They were pretty alike. She even tricked him in Hell Bent. And Rory had a heart every guy should have. How many do you think would wait 2 000 years for their lover? :(
The 2nd Doctor, advised by The 1st Doctor, switched off the force field in the TARDIS causing the TARDIS as well as the entire UNIT HQ building to be transported into the black hole and enter Omega's world.
The Time Lord Omega sends an anti-matter creature to bring the Doctor to his self-created world in the anti-matter Universe. However the creature couldn't quite transport the TARDIS itself so it settled on the next best course of action: transport UNIT HQ containing the TARDIS. As for the "beach", it's not so much a beach as it is a vast desert. It seems when Omega created his world he didn't bother with flora and fauna, instead he choose just simple rock and sand.
1:28 "...Well there's sand everywhere!"
"Oh splendid, who's for a swim!"
Patrick Troughton... What a legend.
Troughton loved to improvise. I wonder if that was one of them.
I'm not sure if this is the case, but i think that might be a subtle reference to the opening scene for "The Enemy Of The World".
Patrick Troughton's facial expressions are fantastic. Especially when he interacts with Jon Pertwee. Brilliant!!
I don’t like sand, it’s coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere
@@julietfischer5056 Is that a fact? Seriously, I love knowing more about the actors who previously played The Doctor

@@ZDProds-c8p. That's a bit rich with your username but go off I guess. Sorry for enjoying characters in a show.

Thats why he said be prepared to be SHOCK!
No look here! It's probably Cromer I'll just go out and buy an ice cream.
Bah. You seen one, you seen them all.
He would be if he wasn't annoyed by 2 being of two concerns about both the situation at hand and his ...ahem... "damn blue flute"
Benton didn't seem to shocked actually. It was mostly just the Brigadier being stubborn.
The recorder is very important!
2:23 Dear oh dear oh dear!
Shame they had to expose the inside of the TARDIS prop like that.
They did that all the way through the show. We were supposed to figure that people were crossing the interface between the outer and inner shells.
+Ryan McFly Oh, just an optical effect due to the transference into the anti-matter universe :)
OH my GIDDY AUNT!
Yes, I loved that and wished that concept had been kept in new Who
It's a prop, please come back to reality.
THE MUSIC WHEN THE BRIGADIER OPENS UP THE DOOR
Oh splendid! Who's for a swim?
1:13 The look on The Brigadier's face when he looks back at the camera is priceless.

Great humour in this scene. Well written.

The 2nd Doctor, advised by The 1st Doctor, switched off the force field in the TARDIS causing the TARDIS as well as the entire UNIT HQ building to be transported into the black hole and enter Omega's world.
The Time Lord Omega sends an anti-matter creature to bring the Doctor to his self-created world in the anti-matter Universe. However the creature couldn't quite transport the TARDIS itself so it settled on the next best course of action: transport UNIT HQ containing the TARDIS. As for the "beach", it's not so much a beach as it is a vast desert. It seems when Omega created his world he didn't bother with flora and fauna, instead he choose just simple rock and sand.
Why did they make the Brigadier an idiot in this story? I could excuse the low production value but he's so out of character.
Yes and he doesn't listen to The 2nd Doctor and Sgt. Benton and he treats Sgt. Benton like an idiot.
I felt like he isn't an idiot. Just stubborn.
@Stefano Pavone and as he always said, one is hard enough to handle as it is.
Oh Brig, how poorly written you were....
