As someone who had been a fan of the show as a child, Peter Davison must have been having the time of his life here.

He couldn’t get up for the session in the morning because he was up at Ventana’s (bar at the top of the hotel) drinking all night with fans. I know because I was there.

Thank you so much for uploading this. Seeing Troughton and Pertwee ribbing together is awesome; they clearly are fond enough of each other to pretend like they're enemies while riding on each other's jokes like old chums.

[@filthycasual8187]

I love the Troughton-Pertwee banter. It's amazing. XD

[@coldacre]

"sit down you scruffy old tramp!" 🤣

[@ponchoman49]

Absolute classic banter between 2 and 3. Loved it

[@Jaye_The_Gaye]

Oh man that Salamander question to Troughton has to be the biggest "what if" i would have loved to see him make another appearance as that character. At least Salamander showed up again in a comic

[@mauricehunt666]

Lovely video thanks.
Sad that Peter Davison is the only one on the panel still with us.😢

[@MrsMoores]

Thank you for the upload! It's great to have access to these videos, especially the history around the show.

[@stinchjack]

Troughton was on fine form that day

[@jaysongillott9106]

I bet Colin baker’s first episode sounded exciting at the time 😂

[@timelordvictorious]

[@ProgNaut]

Thank you for uploading this piece of Who history

[@garoo1980]

We're so lucky to have video of this

[@Cee1003]

Best Who episode for 2024!
Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@QuoPaperPlane]

You can always tell it's an American audience as they can't stop screaming while applauding.

Hi, where did you get these videos from? I'd love to help preserve them in better quality

[@jmyjoekokomo]

I shot these videos in 1983 using 3/4" video gear from my local cable access station. After 40 years, thinking about the DW 60th anniversary, I decided to have them transfered to mp4 and I uprez-ed them to HD for the youtube channel. I regret the poor quality but I am very happy that I have had the chance sharing these with you all.

@@jmyjoekokomo It's lovely to be able to see them. A shame they're so compressed though. What tape format were they in? There's a project online called vhs-decode which uses a thing called a Domesday Duplicator and RF taps to record the raw signal from the tapes and decode them completely digitally. I've gotten pretty good results from it from Video8 tapes and VHS th-cam.com/video/stQ3RLCyeOA/w-d-xo.html

[@jmyjoekokomo]

Thank you for the tip HJ! I will definitely check this out!

[@ZEUSDAZ]

No Tom?

[@ThexVaultxTech]

Just like the original Five Doctors! How quaint.

[@TigerLily12345]

No, he wasn't in the 5 doctors

[@dindocolour8749]

Someone clearly doesn't get the joke ^😅
