Monty by Jim Meddick for January 15, 2016

ExxxstermiNATE .. I too remember Dr Who in B&W – I remember watching it in the daytime during our school holidays with William Hartnell as the Dr. The second last episode was to fall on the last day of holidays and our national broadcaster played the last two episodes back to back – the last episode being when he transformed into the second doctor – I was mesmerised – excellent memories

Derned noisy remote. Monty might never have known that his scary movie wasn’t just in a quiet interlude….Monty, Super Fraidycat!

I believe you mean this scene?

Which episodes? There have been many lost episodes, but many have been recovered as well. If yours are not among the recovered ones (see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who_missing_episodes), you should contact the BBC to see if your copies can help them restore the archive.

…I’m not sure of how scared to be of villains who can be confounded by a set of stairs…

I remember a movie that did that to me. I don’t know the name of it, but it involved giant crabs 20 feet across that would scale a cliff and scissor you. Brrrrrr.

Ha! That’s the way I “watched” the first Aliens movie – eyes tightly shut and fingers in my ears!
