I wanted Nicol to watch at least one Colin Baker episode with us and The Two Doctors seemed like the safest bet. It’s a story about vegetarianism (Nicol has been meat-free for the last year) and it’s set in an exotic location (she likes Spain). And if she didn’t agree to watch it with us, I’d delete this week’s episode of Homeland from the PVR.
I cue up the DVD’s Episode Selection screen…
Sue: It’s three episodes. But that ...

We watched the original broadcast version of The Five Doctors. Sadly, I couldn’t source an off-air copy with the Children in Need ticker running across the bottom of the screen. I hope this doesn’t invalidate the science at the heart of this experiment.
Nicol: I’m not watching any William Hartnell with you. You can forget it.
Me: Be patient, Nicol.
Sue: Don’t worry, Nic. Neil’s promised me ...

Sue: Is this the fabled ten-parter that I’ve heard so much about?
Me: Yes it is, but don’t get fixated on that. The really big news is that we have a brand new producer at the helm – Derrick Sherwin.
Sue: Bit of a strange time to take over the reins, isn’t it? It’s like the Moff taking over to produce David Tennant’s last story. How very strange.
After a visually striking title ...

Me: We should probably tell our readers about your encounter with Michael Bublé.
Sue: There isn’t anything to tell. I was working with the backstage crew and you don’t mix with the talent. I was within a few feet of him but I didn’t speak to him.
Me: So you just haven’t met him yet? Boom-boom-tish!. Ay thang yew.
Sue: Never meet ...

Sue: It’s just the two of us again; just the way it should be.
Me: You should probably tell Gary to avoid any Doctor Who conventions for a while. Just until the fuss dies down.
The Seeds of Death takes place in the future. You can tell it’s the ...

Me: This is the very first Patrick Troughton story I ever saw.
I explain to Sue how the fabled Five Faces repeat season finally enabled me to watch the 2nd Doctor strut his stuff after I’d spent several years idly dreaming about it.
Me: And thanks to Simon Harries, we are watching the original off-air recordings! This is exactly how I would have seen ...

Because The Invasion is split across two DVDs, the menu screen leads Sue down the garden path.
Sue: Four episodes. Excellent.
I know that I’ll pay for it later, but I decide not to correct her mistake. That would be the same as slapping an innocent, smiling baby in the face. And that would ...

Sue: Nice porno title. I bet all the fans bought this DVD online. I can’t imagine a Doctor Who fan walking into a shop and asking for a copy of The Dominators.
Me: You’re not mixing with the right Doctor Who fans, love.
The episode begins with a Dominator spacecraft landing in a quarry on Dulkis.
Sue: This reminds me of Lost in Space a bit. A cheap version of Lost in ...

Before we begin, I would like to apologise for the delay to this update. It was Sue’s birthday last week, and to celebrate it we threw a very large party. Funnily enough, none of our guests wanted to watch The Wheel in Space over the course of the weekend, and by the time things got back to normal, and our hangovers had subsided, we found ourselves seriously behind schedule. Sorry about ...
