Viewers: How should we watch The Invasion?
So, we have a quandary for the next story, The Invasion. This upcoming story in the project (that we’ll be starting in two weeks) has two missing episodes – 1 and 4. We have two main alternatives on how to watch this:
- First, we have our usual recons. The recons for this story are of the older variety, and as a group we’ve generally been a lot more critical of the earlier recons.
- Second, the DVD of this story released with animated versions of the missing stories. However, we understand that these animations are somewhat error prone and have continuity errors.
So, what should we watch for the two missing stories, the recons or the animations? Which would you, as readers, like to hear about? Please tell us in the comments!

Hello everyone, the Historian here. Thanks for bearing with us during the technical difficulties encountered last week.

2 – The Mind Robber
And we’re back! Hello everyone, the Historian here, along with a full house to celebrate our return.

1- The Mind Robber
Hello everyone, the Historian here. New story begins tonight–and if Ketina allowed me to embed links, I might stick John Cleese saying, “And now for something…completely different.” Because it doesn’t get much more different than episode 5 of The Dominators and episode 1 of The Mind Robber! I’m very excited to be watching this along with Ketina, Ronelyn, Spoo, Photobug, Altair, Ezio and Cz. Can’t wait to see what they think! And now, let’s get to the episode. This episode first aired 14 September, 1968.

Wrapup — The Dominators
Hello everyone, the Historian here, with the first wrapup post of the TARDIS Project’s final season! As our regular readers know, there was some…difference of opinion about the merits of The Dominators among Project personnel. For now, though, let’s move along with the first half of the post.

5 – The Dominators
Hello everyone, the Historian here. My apologies about the week’s delay; I fell victim to some kind of Venusian flu. But we are back and ready to dive into…er…the Dominators part five, along with all the dubious excitement reaching the final episode of such a…oh, I’m not going to lie–I think the entire Project will be a bit relieved when this one’s done.
Speaking of whom, I’m joined tonight by Ketina, Ronelyn, the ever-silent-but-present Schmallturm, Spoo, MiniSpoo, Photobug, Altair, and CZ. So, without further ado, let’s get to the episode! This episode first aired 7 September, 1968.

RIP Derek Martinus
Hello all, the Historian here. I’ve just returned from the first day of the Emerald City Comic Convention and seen the sad news that Derek Martinus has died at the age of 82. Martinus directed a good number of the stories we’ve seen in the Project, although we were sadly only to get a general idea of his direction as many of his episodes are currently missing. His Doctor Who stories were:
Galaxy Four
Mission to the Unknown
The Tenth Planet
Evil of the Daleks
The Ice WarriorsAnd Jon Pertwee’s first story, Spearhead From Space, which falls just outside the range of the Project.
We salute Mr. Martinus’ work and thank him for the hours of enjoyment he gave Doctor Who fans. Rest in peace, sir.
