When We Say Watch...Watch!
Sorry that we didn’t have a post last Friday. We’re interrupting The Dominators for a few weeks. We’ll be back on Friday, April 4th.
In the meantime, come see us a Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle on the weekend of March 28 – 30 (2014). We don’t have a table, but we plan to at least attend any Doctor Who panels and hand out fliers about the site. I hope that some of you are new readers that we met at the Con. Feel free to comment below if you are!

Hi everyone, the Historian here. Joining me this week are Ketina, Ronelyn, the silent Schmallturm, Spoo, MiniSpoo, Photobug, Altair, Cz and Abhorsen. Not much to say for preliminaries this week, so let’s get to the episode. This episode first aired 24 August, 1968.
Hello everyone, the Historian here, welcoming you back for some hot Dulcian semi-action! Joining me tonight are Ketina, Ronelyn, Schmallturm, Photobug, Altair, Ezio, and Cz! They may not all have anything to say, but I assure you, they’re here…Let’s get to the episode. This episode first aired 17 August, 1968.
Hello everyone, the Historian here, welcoming you to the beginning of Season Six, the TARDIS Project’s final season! No, I never thought we’d make it either! This is going to be an interesting year, as almost all of this season exists in full episodes, so it’s the Troughton season several of us have seen almost all of before. It’ll be fun to see whether our views of the stories or the individual episodes change as we go.
Anyway, joining me tonight are Ketina (as always!), Ronelyn, Spoo, MiniSpoo, Schmallturm (silent, as usual), Cz, Photobug, Altair, and Ezio. Now, let’s get to the discussion!
Could you at least pretend to be a Doctor Who fan?
Kthxbye.
This is really a placeholder to reserve a space for the full Season Five Wrapup. You’ll see a full post as I get the story wrapups written! Watch this space!
And keep watching the blog for Season Six stories!

Hello everyone, the Historian here, with some sad news. One of the great directors of Doctor Who’s first fifteen years or so, Christopher Barry, has passed away. He was 88.
Barry’s directoral career was large and long, and he directed at least one story for each of the first four Doctors. Of the stories that form part of the TARDIS Project, Barry directed about two-thirds of The Daleks (no, he was not responsible for “The Ordeal”), The Rescue, The Romans, The Savages (all for William Hartnell’s Doctor) and Patrick Troughton’s first story, The Power of the Daleks (for which there isn’t yet a wrapup post). He also directed the Jon Pertwee classic The Daemons…and the less classic The Mutants. For Tom Baker, he directed Robot (Tom’s first story), The Brain of Morbius and The Creature From the Pit.
More than all of that, though, Christopher Barry was reported to be a real gentleman. And he became a familiar face and voice on Doctor Who DVDs, appearing in numerous documentaries and recording commentaries.
Another of the greats who contributed to the most classic of the “Classic Series” is gone. The TARDIS Project salutes Christopher Barry. Our best to his family and friends.

Hello all, the Historian here. Joining me this week for our LAST RECONSTRUCTION FOR QUITE SOME TIME (yes, you can stop cheering now, Ketina) is the aforementioned Ketina, Ronelyn, Spoo, Photobug, Altair and the ever silent (unless we can coax him to talk?) Schmallturm.
As always, our extreme thanks go to Loose Cannon Productions for the fantastic reconstructions–we’ll see you late in the year for a few more reconstructed episodes, guys! But for now, here we go! This episode first aired on 25 May, 1968.
