Don't forget to also set your time coordinates for 1982

@@tardis_treasures That's what I forgot to do. Switched on just now and all I got was Euro 2024 🤔

How time flies

Oh damn, I missed it. I hope they show a repeat soon.

@MuchWhittering maybe wait for the five faces of Doctor Who next year

Me too.

It really is. I suppose being video tape they just take what they can at the time.

Me too, I had just turned 12.

I was 5, and still remember watching Destiny of the Daleks before that. Not sure my memory is as good now lol

Yeah, it's so random too

@@tardis_treasures plus I like this console room more than the new one.

@@purefoldnz3070 it has a certain feckless charm..

@@tardis_treasures quoting Twin Dilemma very very brave of you.

@@purefoldnz3070 Technically not "retro" style, just BBC1 presentation graphic design in late 81/early 82. The striped BBC1 logo had first appeared in late 1975 and appeared on many continuity slides and on the special Christmas idents in the late 70s, before finally becoming part of the main ident in September 1981. I like the way the word "Season" is animated and the dot on the exclamation mark whizzes towards the viewer as the graphic mixes to the VT of Davison looking in the mirror. The late great Radio 2 DJ, Ray Moore, the go-to voice-over man for BBC1 trailers and menus from the mid 70s to the late 80s, reminding viewers the series was "...now on Mondays and Tuesdays." A great sequence. Recall it appeared between Blue Peter and the Evening News at 5.40pm. I was very keen to see how the new Doctor's first adventure would begin.

Brilliant 👍

Eee Oop that takes me back! Lol

@paulshorney3465 Back in the day 😊

@@tardis_treasures fantastic,much better then. Oops controversial! Lol

@paulshorney3465 I'd agree. Great times

Good old BBC. Still bugs me when they did this to simm.

Yeah, the Master gets off in his TARDIS at the end of "Logopolis". Could easily have escaped to face the Doctor another day. And "Castrovalva" could easily have had 5th deal with some other foe for his debut story. But then I suppose it does conclude a trilogy long story arc which began with "The Keeper of Traken" dealing with the Master's return.

It's not really a spoiler in this one, he is present from the beginning of the story.

Huh? That's prime time..........

The viewing figures increased significantly compared to the previous season. 😊

It was a great season, unfortunately ending with time flight..

@tardis_treasures totally agree. A real pity that Earthshock wasn't the season Finale that year. Time Flight was much too ambitious a script to attempt in 1982 , especially at the end of the season when the money was tight.

6.55pm on Monday between Nationwide and The Rockford Files and 7.05pm on Tuesday usually following a Tom and Jerry before A Question of Sport. On the 11th January, following part three of Castrovalva, Peter Davison and Sandra Dickinson were one of three couples taking part in a quiz: 'So You Think You Know What's Good For You?' One of an occasional series in the late 70s and early 80s. 'So You Think...?' Was presented by Cliff Michelmore and Magnus Magnusson.

Indeed, magical times.

@@markbelsom3174 👏👏

Yup, but was buzzing going to bed afterwards ready for school.

Actually the first season of the Fifth Doctor was script edited by Christopher H Bidmead. Personally, I don't rate Saward very much, either. Terrance Dicks wasn't impressed by his work.

The title reflects this question and the mystery surrounding the Doctor's true name

@@tardis_treasures excuse me please so why do people call him doctor, when is name is doctor who!? why not companions call him doctor who?

He's not called Doctor Who. He's the Doctor, the question is Doctor Who. But he has been referred to as Doctor Who in the past though.

Waaah, waaaah, waaaaaah 😂

It was nearly one of Peter's first-ever roles on television. He was only in his late twenties at the time and he himself has admitted that he took the role on too young, regretting not having played the role a little older. Watch Time Crash or hear his audios, his point is bang on. He sounds great in the role as an older actor.

Oh no, I loved 5. I started with 4 from Destiny of the Daleks onwards. But I agree, we need a cut off point to stop watching. I should have done that many years ago. Thanks for watching.

@@tardis_treasures I enjoyed some of Davison's stories, but I just don't like watching him. I enjoy The Visitation, Castrovalva, black orchid, but that's about all. I know Androzani is a fan favourite but I just don't see the appeal

I can see that as season 19 is my favourite. I've found recently I too watched 6 and 7, enjoyed some stories but didn't actually care for the Doctor.

@@TimelordUK I started with 3! I loved it up to 6, but McCoy bought back a certain charm to it. Then vanished.....for ages! 😥😥
