Not so sure: would you really have Sarah Jane Smith at your side up against dangerous enemies, rather than say, Romana (the brains) or Leela (the brawn).
@@elrjames7799 true but that's from the doctors perspective, from a fans perspective it's more interesting to that dynamic unfold but that's my opinion not fact.
@@stargazer65 it is sad mate,the legacy she left behind touched so many people. I was gutted when I heard she died and i was only 10, I've seen everything since then and now it hurts 100 times more.
I was at a meeting when I heard she died years later fact nobody could understand I was so upset except for the English guy who told me this was in America
I love how there has been about 3 characters in doctor who that have become more than companions to multiple doctors but sarah always felt as if she was the true friend of the Doctor. Sarah, Captain jack and River in my mind are the best of friends to the doctor as they have always returned to the show and have met multiple versions of the Time Lord but Sarah was always the original and met the doctor in more of the normal chronological order growing up with him.
Several times, Tom Baker's Doctor introduced her to people as his best friend. I always liked that. In one episode he mentioned that he once looked different and had white hair. When he said "Some people liked it" Sarah nodded, smiled, and said "I did!"
@@paulfrost8895 Yes, the dog seemed a little intimidated by Sarah Jane's badminton racket. And she looks up at the sky at the last instant as if the Tardis might be returning. I'd taped it off the TV, but sadly lost all my stuff in a housefire.
Glad to see this one again even if it was much edited. This was my favorite console room on the classic show. Was sad to see Sarah leave. She was the greatest compaion of the classic show
@@EstrafaDC Thank you for mentioning the interview. I never tried to look for one, and now there are at least two. A very humorous and likeable actress.
The Golden age of Dr Who was without a doubt , the 70's, the 3rd and 4th Doctors , and Tom is and forever be the Doctor, and lovely Sara Jane , best companion ever!!! 3rd Doctor & Jo Grant 4th Doctor & Sara Jane 10th Doctor & Rose
@Big Cat Little Lion Bill was not at all one dimensional. Have you seen the scenes in Thin Ice? And maybe they just decided to have a gay companion. Just because someone is a minority doesn't mean that they're diversity quota filler
It always gets me when you look at the Tardis land and Sarah comes out to then remember that reunion between Sarah and the TARDIS in school reunion. Like 2 characters meeting again at last
That choked me up. For all those decades, Sarah thought he was dead. She loved him just as much as Rose did, but kept it to herself. I loved when she and Rose finally settled their differences and began to joke about the Doctor's love of the TARDIS, and his habit of rapid fire explanations, and then looking at you like you were an idiot for not knowing. LOL! Then Matt Smith's Doctor told Jo Grant that it looked like someone baked her! LOL! Katie Manning was a trooper for going with that line!
I love how a pwrful being who feeds on atomic radiation is defeated with a scarf. This happened all the time with Tom Baker. Sheer cleverness, friendly diplomacy, and innovation with simple household and personal items are his weapons.
It's a little-known fact that powerful beings who feed on atomic radiation have a lifespan of about three episodes. In Space:1999 they had a lifespan of just one episode!
fantastic episode, they originally intended to kill of sarah jane around this point as lis sladen wanted to move onto new things. just imagine if sarah jane never came back after this point, she was such a fantastic actress and I'm glad they brought her back in new who. RIP lis
miss this kind of Who. Did so much with so little. Non sexualized. No companion crush focus. Music not in the forefront of every scene. So nice! "off course are we?" :)
Agree with you, let's bring the show back to better scripts without extra extrainious nonsense. Just think what they could do with special effects if they could produce this episode now?
New Who music is the best out of the entire show, gotta disagree with you there mate. They can make even the most boring scenes exciting, and exciting scenes even MORE exciting. I mean, imagine 10's regen WITHOUT Vale Decem-
@@mv9370 Sounds like every other sci-fi show though. There was a time when it didn't (the soundtracks from back then are pretty amazing, a lot of rare synths in the mix). Had a unique sound of its own. Too bad it lost that.
I can't dislike it personally, but I do find it frustrating that they've cut out three quarters of the story and removed some of my favorite little moments of Tom Baker's performance. Maybe that's why others disliked it.
Wow, another edit? For those of us familiar with it, a best of, highlights cut is a welcome new context for a rewatch...and perfect while cooking tea, an' all!
There is a scene here in which the Doctor is being driven at speed in an olive green coloured Austin Allegro. This is clearly a work of science fiction. The Allegro ('the Agro') was a car that began to rust the moment it fell off the end of the strike ridden British Leyland production line on which it was made. I should know. I owned one of them as my first car!
Sorry, no doctor or assistant can ever replace Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen in the roles no matter how many regeneration's and companion pickups are done in the future. The best duo period.
Tom Baker is Dr. Who. The only Dr. Who I can watch. I like how they used whatever was around because they didn’t have much of a budget. So they made do with the landscape and whatever was available. Ah, the Seventies what a great decade to live in Great Britain. Monty Python and Dr. Who on TV. Good times!
It’s funny how Hand of Fear brought back The Three Doctors alums: Stephen Thorne as Eldrad who played Omega, Rex Robinson as Dr. Carter who played Dr. Tyler, written by Bob Baker and Dave Martin and directed by Lenny Mayne.
Why do I find it hilarious when Sarah Jane walks out of her room she has the doctors coat on like she’s threatening to steal his jacket she’s so upset 😂
The actual location was Stokefield Close in Gloucestershire, so neither South Croydon or Aberdeen, which, although I don't know much about geography, strikes me as a long way from London, but maybe I need to do more traveling. So, come on Doctor, I would gladly go for a few spins in the Tardis.
Eldrad must live! Just sayin'. I think when you look at this time in the programme, despite the lack of money and the cruddy effects, there is so much heart in this story. The music has that electronic twang that were echoes of the type of music heard in 'The Sea Devils' and 'Terror of the Autons', but here it is more catchy and yet still carrying that undercurrent of menace. Bob Holmes has taken a beautiful idea from Bob Baker and Dave Martin. And the acting is just faultless. A fav.
I couldnt care less about how good the effects are. What are important are the story, the actors, and the feel of it. Nowadays most "sci-fi" has great special effects and predictable, tedious story-lines. TV of this generationn was written by people who grew up reading books, which have a greater range of knowledge, ideas, themes, and personalities. the minds of most writers of modern TV. are lmited bec. they grew up watching TV.
So what is this channel up to? it shows clips from classic who episodes and the decides to show all the clips as a compilation.... What is the point in that, you may as well just show the full episode, after all you are the official BBC Doctor Who channel.
That lasting shot of Sarah Jane was what a massive character like her deserved, the best companion of all time.
Rest in peace Elisabeth Sladen.
Not so sure: would you really have Sarah Jane Smith at your side up against dangerous enemies, rather than say, Romana (the brains) or Leela (the brawn).
That last part made me sad I miss her , that’s the problems with endings I HATE ENDINGS they are sad

If you've watched enough classic WHO , the fact that they land in a quarry and it's actually a quarry " in story" is hilarious.
Every planet in Dr Who Universe always has a quarry.😀😆🤣
@@paulfleming715 As well as a North lol
It’s “Meta”.
I like the doctors comment " i don't know all the quarries" , i bet you do mate.
Classic Who is far better than New Who.
Sarah Jane has always been one of my favorite companions. She is wonderful in this episode. I sure miss her. Cheers
I was at a meeting when I heard she died years later fact nobody could understand I was so upset except for the English guy who told me this was in America
@@markpettis2896
How old is Sarah Jane here.
I'd estimate, 22, 27,?
@@markpettis2896 Yeah, sad that. She passed before she could play in her final Sarah Jane Adventures.
The way he looks at her just before she leaves is lovely.

It was a little sad with Sarah Jane saying goodbye, but this is still one of my favorite episodes.
it was a bit of a heartbreak
both the character and tbe actress struggle not to cry ...
I actually recall the end of that episode with the dog ' back in the 70s ' amazing what jogs the memory.
@@paulfrost8895 Yes, the dog seemed a little intimidated by Sarah Jane's badminton racket. And she looks up at the sky at the last instant as if the Tardis might be returning. I'd taped it off the TV, but sadly lost all my stuff in a housefire.
at least she went back home.
@@karlhelm875 And soon came the Leela and Romana eras. Those were really good, too.
Glad to see this one again even if it was much edited. This was my favorite console room on the classic show. Was sad to see Sarah leave. She was the greatest compaion of the classic show
Judith Paris is one of the absolute highlights in this story. I love to see her playing Elrad again and again. A very good one from the Baker era.
She was amazing! I recently saw an very recent chat with her about this episode -- it'll come up on a youtube search and she was a complete delight!
@@EstrafaDC Thank you for mentioning the interview. I never tried to look for one, and now there are at least two. A very humorous and likeable actress.
She was excellent, and strangely attractive. She has beautiful eyes.
An extremely gifted actress, she was wonderful in this episode.
spooky girl great dr who casting !
The way Sarah was saying "Eldrad must live" sounded honestly insane!
I have this story on DVD!
Girl Eldrad is best Eldrad!
"Eldrad must live"...in a tuppaware box. 🙂
The hand coming to life in the box was the best cliffhanger ever, I watched it. I was 6. Brilliant.
I saw it as a teenager. very keen to see the next episode.
The Golden age of Dr Who was without a doubt , the 70's, the 3rd and 4th Doctors , and Tom is and forever be the Doctor, and lovely Sara Jane , best companion ever!!!
3rd Doctor & Jo Grant
4th Doctor & Sara Jane

@Big Cat Little Lion so you don't like Bill just because you don't like her?
This was a good comment until you spoiled it with the last line.
Enjoyed watching that. Brings back good memories.
Miss you Tom.
Rest well Sarah.
I have no idea why, but when I was young, that bit at the start where they're making the wiring for the explosives was always so satisfying to watch
Do I have the right?…

Katie Manning was a trooper for going with that line!
Sarah at 12:30: "Careful. That's not as armless as it looks."
The Doctor at 26:50: "Well. The gravity of the law finally caught up with him."
You've also got to love when the Doctor quietly crosses both his hearts with a smile.
Sarah Jane's "Hi" after the Doctor introduces her, is priceless. She was and is the Doctor's best companion.
His best friend.
@@paulashe61 Exactly. I loved when the Doctor told people that!

Since when have they been doing this? This is the first one I’ve seen posted.
@@jacobharris5894 They did an "highlighted" version of The Masque of Mandragora earlier.
This isn't the full episode, but if you want to watch classic who they are all on BritBox.
there's a highlighted versions of Battlefield too
This isn't a full episode
My favourite Doctor and companion of all time. Great to see the Britain of my childhood again too 😪
Yeah, I can imagine.
Loved these episodes as a little kid. Scared me just the right amount.
Really who could dislike this? It's classic
I can't dislike it personally, but I do find it frustrating that they've cut out three quarters of the story and removed some of my favorite little moments of Tom Baker's performance. Maybe that's why others disliked it.

@@EstrafaDC kill..the..doctor...kill..kill..kill
You got a long wait before you see the Doctor again, Sarah Jane.
This is one of my all time favorite episodes. Eldred must live.
Brutalist architecture never fails to remind me of the Dr Who of my youth.
This print and audio transfer are immaculate. Great job BBC (presumably)
That is The Who I remember and love!
This one was one of my favourites, thank you for this, I haven't seen it probably since it was released on TV in Australia xx

My second favourite doctor who story of all time, one of my first as well. 10/10
It’s what the world used to be like
Probably the saddest goodbyes in Dr who
One of my favourite 4th Doctor stories😊
My room got very dusty at Sarah Jane’s “Don’t you forget me” line
What a lovely way to put that😊
One of my favourite stories
Thank you so much for posting this.❤️❤️❤️

Editing has killed this.. anyone uploaded the full episodes?
Love the way the bbc spared no expense on the special effects budget for this series. 😅
RIP Elisabeth always😢
Another under rated episode
The end scene was filmed in Stokefield Close, Thornbury, Gloucestershire.
"Get out of it! Get out of it quick! Blake's 7 are filming just round the corner!"
Someone could have given that guy a megaphone (loudhailer) if he was a lookout before the blast!
This was always one of my favorite episodes.
"We're the ones who saved you. Cross my hearts."
Eldrad MUST live.
Sarah Jane was gonna die in this episode, if she died, don't think I'd become a fan
What the hell did you just say
She didn't die in this episode.
This episode is awesome
My all time favorite Doctor and Sarah episode!
But... I might be in a time loop, because you've put this up before!
Oh, it's a compilation!
Tom Baker The Doctor, not just a Doctor but the definite you might say...
Not South Croydon, but Aberdeen as we later discover in School Reunion!
"Till we meet again Sarah..."
End of an era.
The actual location was Stokefield Close in Gloucestershire, so neither South Croydon or Aberdeen, which, although I don't know much about geography, strikes me as a long way from London, but maybe I need to do more traveling. So, come on Doctor, I would gladly go for a few spins in the Tardis.

Why did Sarah look like she’d just come back from a Rod, Jane and Freddy audition ? 😂
"You'll roast, man!"
"...Not if I'm quick."
The attitude to a potential nuclear explosion in Kent is staggeringly casual as well...just like a few grenades going off and a bit of sunburn....
19:01 sarah's "hi" is hilarious
'Alien planets ' were usually quarries
No wonder Baker fell for her. She was so beautiful, and had lively spirit.
love the incidental music..... you know you're watching classic Who when the horns and glock hits... :)
Best DR.WHO EVER AND THE ONE I GREE UP WATCHING
Tupperware, keeps evil fresh!
A whole episode! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s not. It’s a butchered cut down of the entire story. This is NOT The Hand I’d Fear as it was intended.
You look like Amy Pond
Is there a reason only highlights can be shown & not the whole episodes ? Copyright issues ? Bummer ...
28:00 Best bit, so epic, better than all the special effects in NuWho.
th-cam.com/video/9YoEpkA0c5c/w-d-xo.html
Judith Paris is perhaps the best hottie villain of the series.
Yes indeed
I think one of my neighbors might have 20 missing episodes from the second doctor
@Inferno Games i think they were a troll/joking lol its a shame tho
Slightly disappointed that the entire comments aren't everyone just posting "Eldrad MUST live!"
19:17 "cross my hearts"

I prefer to buy the blu/DVD releases. It least they’ve not been edited into a Frankenstein monster of a synopsis
Finally a full episode
This is a highlight reel. The full story is almost 2 hours long
Sarah Jane was so lovely.
0 downwotes - must be Eldred.
Agree.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be Sarah Jane Smith! She was so cool 😎
The ring of Eldrad has some mind control properties.
funny thing is that im watching classic doctor who on pluto tv right now and it has tom baker
This is my childhood! We had the book as well.
They're missing the silicon dart and the slab cruncher. Also I think some Sarah gets assessed in the hospital.
Liz Sladen was SUCH a beautiful and talented woman
