I said the eras would start dropping quickly, and I was right. I started McCoy’s era on 20 Apr, and on 31 of May, McCoy’s era ended. That we got three series at all out of the show in the late 80’s is something of a miracle itself. Only this time it took all of […]
Well, that was fast. It’s 19 Apr, and on 20 Mar I had just started the sixth Doctor’s run, and here we are at the end. Colin Baker, the shortest run (ignoring Paul McGann) of the classic series Doctors is over. It started with such promise for me, and ended.. well. poorly is a kind […]
Sun 19 Mar 2023 brings yet another milestone in my Doctor Who Marathon. I reached the end of Peter Davison’s era with Episode 4 of “The Caves of Androzani”. What a way to bow out. Androzani is epic, and a spectacular end to Davison’s era. But I’m not here to talk about Androzani, I have […]
I recently passed another milestone in my Doctor Who Marathon, and I felt like dropping a short update. This past Monday, I got to the 20th anniversary special, “The Five Doctors”. That was the end of the 20th season and it aired on 23 Nov 1983 (in the US). The was the first Doctor Who […]
Well, on 9 Jan 2023, I reached another milestone in my Doctor Who Marathon. I completed the Fourth Doctor’s run with episode 4 of “Logopolis”. In some ways getting through all the Tom Baker episodes themselves felt like a marathon. There were just so many of them. Most of Tom’s era talks about what he […]
I used to attend conventions in the Philadelphia area quite frequently in the 1980s. Back then, it would take upwards of two years to get new episodes on local television, so for many fans, some of these conventions were a popular attraction – not just for the same reason cons are popular now, but because there […]
This past Sunday we saw another regeneration episode of Doctor Who. That was Jodie Whittaker’s “The Power of the Doctor”. It wrapped up her somewhat controversial era. I’ll write more about that when I finally get to her stuff in my #DoctorWhoMarathon project. I’m not here to write about that, I’m here to write about […]
Well, on 27 August 2022, I reached another milestone in my Doctor Who Marathon. I completed the Third Doctor’s run with episode 6 of “Planet of the Spiders”. I reached it a little earlier than I thought I would as I ended up watching five episodes this day to finish off his era. I never […]
Wanted to throw out a short update about my Doctor Who Marathon. Normally I wouldn’t do this save for a Doctor change. While I’m actually somewhat close to one of those, I wanted to take the time and point this out about my marathon.
Today I reached a second milestone in my Doctor Who project. I’ve completed the Patrick Troughton era. As I did with William Hartnell, I wanted to add some words about the Second Doctor. There were a total of 119 episodes made with Patrick, covering most of Series 4, as well as all of 5 and […]
