At 5.40pm 45 years ago, BBC started a #DoctorWho repeat run
An Unearthly Child
The Krotons
Carnival of Monsters
The Three Doctors
Logopolis
(In that order)
Thanks to that plus season 19 + K9 and Company following on (47 eps in 5 months!) I became a fan.
Plus #Blakes7 & Adventure Game the same night!

🗣️ I was reminded of the upcoming “Blake’s 7” Series C Blu-Ray set and abruptly realised that I haven’t finished watching all of the extras on the Series B Blu-Ray set 😱
So, let us commence Disc 1 with the (brand new?) commentary track for “Redemption”.

Blake’s 7 – Children of Auron is a brilliant episode, especially outstanding and appalling for Servalan
(and new effects!)
But among the odd flaws, the one that stuck out most glaringly to me:
They know there’s a plague
So what *don’t* the Liberator crew do…?

Just as #SirSherlock is announced we've lost John Leeson, Tom Baker's sidekick in both #DoctorWho (as robot dog K-9) and in that audio series. Thinking of his magnificent Toise in #Blakes7, I feel it's Fate that toys with our affections, taking him from the thousands of us who now miss him terribly.
