NZDWFC: TSV 42: The Annuals - A Collector's Guide. For the devoted Doctor Who merchandise collector, the annuals are usually a high priority on the list of 'must-have's.
Although the visual and literary qualities of these books are at best reasonable and at worst dire and bizarre, they are desirable items and can sometimes fetch quite high prices. The fact that most are now very difficult to obtain - necessitating ferreting through dusty second-hand bookstores, flea markets and school fairs - perhaps makes the pursuit of a complete set of Doctor Who Annuals all the more appealing. There were twenty 'regular' Doctor Who annuals published by World Distributors (later World International); two Hartnell, three Troughton, four Pertwee, seven Tom Baker, two Davison and two Colin Baker annuals.
Each annual was published in September, allowing a sufficient sales period prior to Christmas, though it is important to note that the date (most but not all annuals were dated), printed on the cover is always that of the following year. Doctor Who: The Doctor Who Themes 1963 - 2010 (Every Doctor Who Theme) Classic Doctor Who: The Fourth Doctor’s Essential Episodes. You think you know the meaning of the word daunting?
I assure you, you don’t—unless you, too, once pondered the Herculean task of whittling down the many, many worthy serials on the Fourth Doctor’s tenure to a mere five “essentials,” which would then go on to be judged (and doubtless found wanting) by a jury of your Whovian peers. The First Doctor—easy enough, he didn’t have too many serials remaining to him from which to choose. Likewise The Second, and even the Third Doctor while harder, was doable. But this one was an assignment I feared might be my undoing... until I really looked at it objectively, and realised that it actually wasn’t that hard at all. Oh, sure, there are so many excellent stories that I had to exclude here, including personal favorites like Pyramids of Mars (I still think those face-like rock formations on Mars are man-made), The Ark in Space (Harry Sullivan’s finest hour) and The Horns of Nimon (“Weakling scum!”).
By the way? 1. EXPLAINED! 2. EXPLAINED! 3. 4. 5. Classic Doctor Who: The Third Doctor’s Essential Episodes. This is where things start getting tricky.
After two seasons truncated by ruthless purges of the historical record, the Third Doctor is missing nary and episode—and, hey, he’s in color! (Though some of it is restored color, from black and white prints for export to countries that didn’t yet have the more advanced technology.) What this means for the purposes of this exercise is that distilling down his many adventures into a mere five essentials is... well, it’s damned hard. Doctor Who 50th Anniversary: The 11 Essential 'Doctor Who' Episodes. With all the hoopla surrounding the "Doctor Who" 50th Anniversary episode, "The Day of The Doctor," one thing seems to be overlooked.
So much focus has been placed on the two Doctors, the villains, John Hurt, Clara Oswald, and so on… that I don’t think the scope of "Doctor Who" has been addressed. Fifty years. 25 Defining Moments From 50 Years of Doctor Who. Doctor Who: 5 Reasons the First Cybermen Were the Scariest. I recently got a chance to see the newly released "The Tenth Planet" DVD, which featured an incredibly brilliant animated version of the missing fourth episode.
Though a lot of people find the story to be a little slow and listless, a common complaint in many early serials, I consider the story to be not only brilliant but absolutely terrifying. The reason being that the Cybermen, making their debut in the series for the first time, have never been this frightening ever again. No other enemy has undergone such continued radical redesign throughout the series as the Cybermen have, and to my mind neither later classic Cybermen or the modern variants are particularly scary. They're threats, but they don't reach down and shake you. Why?
FlashbackDoctor Who: A Guide to Being a Less-Annoying Whovian. Exec Moffat explains Eccleston regeneration cut in 50th ep - CultBox. Steven Moffat has discussed why the regeneration of John Hurt’s Doctor into Christopher Eccleston’s Doctor in last year’s Doctor Who 50th anniversary special was cut short.
The scene in ‘The Day of the Doctor’ ended before viewers could fully see the Ninth Doctor’s face. Speaking to Doctor Who Magazine in the latest issue, Moffat revealed: “It was one thing to include [Eccleston] among all the other archive Doctors, as they flew in to save the day — in fact, it would have been disgraceful to have left anyone out — but placing him in that scene might have given the impression he’d actually turned up for filming, which would have been crossing the line.”
He added: “Not taking part in the 50th was a difficult decision for Chris, taken after a lot of thought and with great courtesy, and not respecting his wishes would have been grossly unprofessional and disrespectful to a good man and a great Doctor.
