Doctor Who: Tales of the TARDIS

"Time is memory, and memory is time."

The 60th Anniversary of Doctor Who has officially kicked off with the release of Tales of the TARDIS on BBC iPlayer.

I'm not crying. You're crying.

Doctor Who: The Caves of Androzani

“Feels different this time.”

We come to it at last. The greatest Doctor Who story of all time.

Doctor Who: Planet of Fire

"The worst place in the universe: English public school on Earth."

As Peter Davison's penultimate adventure, 'Planet of Fire' has to write out two companions, introduce another and seemingly kill off the Master for good. But all anyone remembers is Peri's bikini.

Doctor Who: Resurrection of the Daleks

"It's stopped being fun, Doctor. Goodbye."

Oh boy, this is one nasty, mess of a story.

Doctor Who: Frontios

"I got this one cheap because the walk's not quite right. And then there's the accent..."

Oh great, someone let Chris Bidmead back into the Doctor Who production office.

Doctor Who: The Awakening

"Doctor? Doctor ain't a proper name. Will Chandler be a proper name."

The Doctor and his companions arrive in a small English village where something evil is lurking behind a crack in a wall. Hmm, something tells me Steven Moffat might've been taking notes when he first saw this one. And I'm sure one of those notes was probably "must do better."

Doctor Who: Warriors of the Deep

"There should’ve been another way.”

I hear you, mate. I hear you.

Doctor Who: The Five Doctors

"Splendid fellows... all of you."

‘The Five Doctors’ was a feature length Children in Need special produced to celebrate Doctor Who's 20th anniversary that tries to cram in everything from the show's history, including the Kitchen Sink of Rassilon.

Doctor Who: The King's Demons

"Do our demons come to visit us?"

Karma karma karma karma, karma Kamelion, you come and go, you come and go, oh, oh, oh!

Doctor Who: Enlightenment

"Superior beings do not punish inferiors... We use them... kindly."

After two duffers, ‘Enlightenment’ brings the Black Guardian trilogy to a terrific conclusion.

Doctor Who: Terminus

"If we don't do something quickly, the whole universe is going to be destroyed!"

Those that arrive, survi- wait, sorry, wrong show.

Doctor Who: Mawdryn Undead

"Let me tell you, sir, I'm in full possession of my faculties. After all, if I were suffering from amnesia I'd be the first to know it, wouldn't I?"

'Mawdryn Undead' is the first in a trilogy of stories featuring the Black Guardian, the villain from the Key to Time saga. You know, the one who showed up right at the end, did nothing and then vanished. Yeah, that one.

Doctor Who: Snakedance

“Dream, what dream?”

Ahhh, 'Snakedance'. The one that pops up a lot in all those before they were famous shows so we can have a good laugh at Martin Clunes dressed like he was auditioning to join Adam and the Ants.

Doctor Who: Arc of Infinity

"You know how it is; you put things off for a day and next thing you know, it's a hundred years later."

'Arc of Infinity' kicked off the series' landmark 20th season in 1983. John Nathan-Turner, having another one of his bright ideas, decided that every story in this season should see the Doctor battling a familiar foe from the show’s past. It’s not a bad idea, but in that unique way of his, JNT still managed to cock it up royally.

Doctor Who: Time-Flight

Can you get HBO on this thing? I don't want to miss
Game of Thrones.
"The illusion is always one of normality."

Well, that was a load of s**t, wasn't it?

Doctor Who: Earthshock

“Now I’ll never know if I was right.”

We’ll start with some context.

Doctor Who: Black Orchid

This year's contestants on Strictly Come Dancing.
"A superb innings, worthy of the master."

When first conceived by Sidney Newman the aim of Doctor Who was to both educate and entertain. As such, along with the outer space excursions, the Doctor and his companions would regularly visits different periods of Earth’s history and run into famous figures like Marco Polo and Richard the Lionheart.

Doctor Who: The Visitation

"I have appeared before some of the most hostile audiences in the world. Today I met death in a cellar. But I have never been so afraid until I met the man with the scythe."

It's been a long time since Doctor Who did a period piece.

Doctor Who: Kinda

The fashion police finally caught up with the Doctor
"An apple a day keeps the... Ah, never mind."

There's a lot that's brilliant about 'Kinda' and a lot that's not.

Doctor Who: Four to Doomsday

The new season of The Apprentice made some big changes
"You know, I come here from time to time myself and nothing on earth changes quite so often as the fashion! You wouldn't believe the way some people look!"

After a opening shot that is a rather blatant attempt to ape Star Wars, the larger than necessary Team TARDIS find themselves on a massive spaceship controlled by a humanoid frog, who has collected a large assortment of cultural stereotypes. Like most aliens on this show, he wants to TAKE OVER ZE VORLD!!!! At least he would, if he ever actually got there.
