I wanted Nicol to watch at least one Colin Baker episode with us and The Two Doctors felt like the safest bet. It’s a story about vegetarianism (Nicol has been meat-free for a year) and it’s set in an exotic location (she likes Spain). Plus, if she didn’t agree to watch it with us, I’d…
Before we tackled The Mark of the Rani, there were some surprises in store for us in the jungle. The first shock came on Friday night when it became clear that Colin Baker couldn’t wait to leave. The second shock arrived on Saturday when Sue saw Colin topless for the first – and hopefully last…
Even though he dances like a Pussycat Doll with a urinary tract infection, Colin Baker has still captured Sue’s heart. Sue: He hasn’t put a foot wrong. He’s lovely. A real gent. Not like Eric ****ing Bristow. Me: Were you worried that Colin would be voted out of the Spiridon jungle first? Sue: Not a…
At least Colin Baker continues to impress in one TV show… Sue: He’s lovely. In fact, he’s my tip to win. He doesn’t have a bad word to say about anyone. And he’s the perfect gentleman, always comforting everyone around him. But watching I’m A Celebrity… comes at a price. Ant and Dec have revealed…
The Twin Dilemma isn’t Sue’s first exposure to Colin Baker. No, that came two days earlier with I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! Before that, Colin was just some actor who shouted at me at a convention once (at least we have something in common now) and, according to ITV, a former Dr…
The Scores Here are Sue’s scores for all the Davison episodes in reverse order (and in transmission order when tied): Four to Doomsday: “Tedious bollocks.” – 1/10 Time-Flight: “I’d like to give the captain one.” – 1/10 Black Orchid: “Peter’s right. It’s rubbish.” – 2/10 The Visitation: “That was crap.” – 3/10 Terminus: “A shambles.”…
Part One Me: You’ve seen this story before, Sue, 19 years ago. It was the first one we watched together when I moved in with you in 1993. Can you remember anything about it? Sue: No. I do remember Genesis of the Daleks, though. Me: We watched Genesis afterwards. Sue: Well, it must have been…
Part One Sue: Ooh, we like Peter Grimwade, don’t we? Me: Yes, he’s a very good director. Sue: Excellent. Me: But he didn’t direct this. Sue: Oh. Well, at least we’re on location. That’s good. This is a very impressive quarry, actually. Two men are traipsing up a mountain in their pants. Sue: Blimey, he’s…
I thought long and hard about which version of Resurrection to show to my wife. Should I make Sue watch the two-part double-length version transmitted by the BBC in 1984, or would the four-part edit that was originally planned by the production team be the better option? I went to Facebook and Twitter looking for…
Part One Frontios begins in a mine. Sue: Ooh, mining. We haven’t had a mining story in ages. A man is examining some ore samples when the ground suddenly gives way beneath him. Sue: Are we supposed to see his finger wiggling about under the soil, or is that a mistake? Chief Orderly Brazen calls…
