The Dalek sounds like either Pinky or Perky.

I bet most people who said that he was completely crap never watched The Curse of Fenric.

The BBC should, however, be cursed daily for never getting around to finishinf off The Tripods with the third book

Unfortunately I have to admit I gave up on McCoy at the start when he was still shit and never saw any of the later episode...I must hunt them down on bittorrent some time.

Yup, nice vid, shame about the choice of music though.

Oh god. The Doc coupled with JB. And one of my favourite of his tracks too.

I've been holding-off watching my S1 TARDIS boxset since Christmas. I don't think I can last much longer.

EDIT:
I like Tennant as The Doc, I really do. But seeing these little montages from S1 really hammer home the fact that the Eccleston/Piper chemistry REALLY worked. And that, for me, as a fan since Pertwee and a firm believer that Tom Baker was THE Doctor, Eccleston now wears that mantle.

Tennant is good. Ecclestone was great.

EDIT2: I've watched this one four times now. I have to go out or I'm going to blub in the office.

Of course Ricard E. Grant already played the doctor in the webcast Scream of the Shalka. He did a great voice acting job in it. The graphics reminded me of some '90s point and click adventure games, but they managed to carry the suspense.

Yes I was gutted when I learned that there wouldn't be any more and with the series ending on such a depressing note. I finally got around to reading the third Tripods book (as well as the first two) which ended the story in a satisfactory way. I guess it must have cost too much to film it properly so they just gave up. OTOH the BBC had an atrocious attitude to scifi in those days and during the '90s there was almost no British made scifi, because they reckoned that only Americans could do scifi properly.

I hope Doctor Who will lead to the BBC and others in the UK becoming more interested in the genre and seeing more British made productions, because they were always with a different attitude than American productions, which I appreciated (even though I like much American scifi too). Can't wait to see a proper reimagining of Blake's 7.

Look out for Remembrance of the Daleks, Battlefield, Ghost Light, The Curse of Fenric and Survival. Those are roughly the best McCoy stories.

Don't forget Silly Nemesis (Err. I mean silver). You have to watch that one to see what a joke the Cybermen had become

I thought that story was a bit too jumbled with too much things going sideways for you to be able to follow the plot. They probably tossed in the Cybermen because it was the "silver" 25th anniversary and Cybermen are "silver" as well (and can be damaged by gold IIRC).

Definetely not memorable. In fact can't remember much of it.

You're accepting a donation of urine surely? The whole magic thing, the firing gold coins into cybermen with a catapult..? I've been scarred for life. I wake up at 3am in a cold sweat screaming how implausible the whole thing was. People set up self-help groups when they released that the story was going to be released in a special edition "Silver Nemesis" cyberbox.

There are those whose sanity has been twisted into attractive garden furniture from studying Cthulhu mythos..but that's nothing compared to the ornate mind twisty work like wrought ironwork gates arising from the psychological horror of watching Silver Nemesis more than twice in ones lifetime..

In its favour Silly Nemesis does have a group of comedy Nazis.

Well I thought they were funny.

It would have been better as a musical. And Lenny Henry playing Hitler.

What about a panto. Ace creeping around with her catapult looking for cybermen. The kids could shout "HE'S BEHIND YOU!. EXCELLENT"

It did have some good moments. The Doctor asking Ace if she was carrying any nitro-9. "No Doctor. I'm a good girl." "Blow up that vehicle"

Anytime the David Banks Cyberleader says "Kill her", "Kill the female" or does a Monty Burns impression is worth a few extra points out of 10. You could turn it into a drinking game.
