I think it's a shame Harry Sullivan stopped being a companion after Terror of the Zygons. The 4th Doctor, Sarah Jane and Harry were brilliant together.

Such a classic story, this entire series is iconic!

I'm not surprised Tom Baker hurt himself filming on Dartmoor, the whole area is strewn with boulders left over from the Ice Age, many half buried.

I wish they would have shown more of the conflict between the Sontarans and the Rutans!! The Rutans have that alien jellyfish look!! Love the show! Thanks for posting!!

Famously, Tom Baker fell and broke his collarbone whilst filming on Dartmoor. Stuntman Terry Walsh doubled for Tom during the fight scenes. Tom Baker had his arm in a sling, which was disguised by his scarf in subsequent scenes. Sadly, this was the last time Kevin Lindsay played a Sontaran - he died of a heart condition in April, 1975, a few months after the broadcast of this story.

Always loved Sarah Jane . The fourth Doctor has always been my favorite Doctor :)

“Never throw anything away, Harry.” “It’s a mistake to clutter one’s pockets, Harry.” Honestly the Fourth Doctor had such a fun relationship with Harry

Harry was brave and extra useful in this story.

Brilliant little story. I always loved the robot design

The first EVER classic story I watched! Absolutely loved it!

Liz Sladen was absolutely gorgeous wasn't she 😍 such an amazing actress ❤️

This episode always drives nostalgia to me, as after re watching it I can recall when I would sit down and watch doctor who with my dad who started watching doctor who around when Tom baker started. This episode imp articular seems to be the one I remember the most as I had re watched it countless times. Such a great story, yes the effects weren't as good as they are now but when watching this as a child it was the best thing I had ever seen.

Obviously the Earth wasn't entirely destroyed in the solar flares. The local branch of Top Shop clearly survived and was thriving. Or how else does Sarah Jane swap her orange wellies for purple hiking boots at the end of this story?

As a child growing up in the mid 60s and throughout the 70s I used to rush home on a Saturday evening to watch Dr Who and Tom Baker was my favourite actor playing him Jon Pertwee wasn't bad whatever I was doing or wherever I was it all came to an abrupt halt no matter what it was like some kind of ritual I had to get home in time to see it even now as an adult and a father and grandfather myself I still retain a great deal of fondness of those brilliant days and memories and often rewind and take trips down memory lane and reminisce whilst watching some of the episodes and all the memories come flooding back to me how absolutely bloody wonderful I sometimes wish I could borrow the doctors tardis and go back in time and watch all the original episodes over again 😊😃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I love Sarah's flailing legs 😄

Until this moment, I always thought Sarah was human. Now I know she is part of some unknown turtle race. Thank goodness Harry was around to right her.

Styre gave me nightmares as a 9 year old

Harry & Sarah were my favourites from the Fourth Doctor era.

FINALLY! Exterior video! And it looks good, too!

A great little two parter ,Kevin plays another good baddie as Styre.

*"Nobody Loves The Sontarans More Than Me! If you dare challenge me I'll Work you with My... Wok!"*

The final battle of this story is superb

I love mid-70s Who (it's one of the high points of the whole show), but The Sontaran Experiment has aged better than a lot of the other serials from that era. It's doesn't suffer from unnecessary padding, the special effects aren't overdone, and it's grittier than most stories up to that point.

im not sure if this is the ep that turner directed but there is one bit where there is an alien that travels like the flash and it looks like footage from 25 years in the future almost CG, i think turner was the classic genius that could have saved the series but rubbed people the wrong way, another weird thing is the oldest person in this episode is the only person still alive

The episode title had two meanings. The other was that the BBC experimented with using 2” video tapes for a location shoot instead of 16mm film, as was common with British television at the time. Alas, the technology to do so economically wouldn’t be achieved until 1986.

"Care for a Jelly Baby?" 🤣👍

13:28 - "I shall kill you all now... But, actually... I have more important things to do."

I enjoyed this, I only wish that they a done more two part story’s arc’s in Bakers time. Some of his stories were dragged out a too much!

Brilliant episode sonta ha

This 2 episode one is brilliant. I saw it when I must have been 4 or 5 n it was frightening

The very best Who 2-parter

I remember this show , way back in 1912

So Sontarens run on mutual inductance fed by half wave rectification, and it appears Styre couldn't get the correct level of successive approximation logic ,on his dac and the low pass filter to his brain failed to protect him from the resulting EMP pulse

I like The Sontaran Experiment

sage. the surviving plant. great for breakfast sausage in 100,000 AD. I'll just bring the hogs from upstairs!

Microstoria trasmessa in Italia da venerdì 15 febbraio a sabato 16 febbraio del 1980 alle 19 e 20. 2 parti

1st Doctor Who story I ever watched, and Genesis of the Daleks was 2nd.

Ah, ancestors.

The Sontaran are the potato heads of the galaxy.

GOAT

It's amazing how much better this is than New Who, especially Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl Who.

sus first

Not my favorite story I'll admit
