Back then, I was 5 and K9 was both funny and super-exciting
Did I play my Talking K9 until the little record wore out? “Affirmative!”

This was my first King Arthur on screen, and I fell in love with the legend for ever
But it was also the first thing I ever saw Maureen O’Brien in, and coming later to her Doctor Who, I’ve never quite been able to trust Vicki!

Oh, I know this one:

One of them is leader of a former great power, once unstoppable, but now brought low, standing on the bridge of a fatally damaged vehicle about to finally break apart.

And the other is Jax as Servalan.

I love how Jodie starts off with such joy and energy – and oddity
(I wish she’d been given more of all three)
I like having a year without all the same enemies* and with the Doctor’s personal credo up front and driving her actions.

*Yet, O! The Master to come!

Top Mrs Gale moment: give Daphne a gun, trusting she *would* shoot her stepmother’s lover.
Top Steed moment you wouldn’t get from the Doctor: confront your Weeping Angel by propositioning her. His hand on her bottom is, after all, a form of observation.

Ben Aaronovitch’s debut script exploded onto TV
While Ben’s novelisation – his first book, long before conquering the bestseller lists – is, like his The Also People, a contender for best Doctor Who novel of all.

While Doctor Who, as it has from the beginning, fights fascism
And fights racists here more explicitly than ever
After here linking Daleks, Nazis and racism in the streets, the following story will bring down a Thatcher-ish regime…
…But tell me Doctor Who was never political until ‘These days’.
