Hello everyone, the Historian here. A little under a year ago, I wrote about how the Daleks’ first story “changed everything” for the then-brand new Doctor Who. Just under a year later, the Daleks returned to the show in a story that has just as much significance as their first.

Hello everyone, and apologies for the delay in posting. Ketina, Ronelyn and I did watch the episode last night, but we wound up running a bit late. Although we discussed it last night, I delayed the post to give me a bit more time to write up the summary today. So, without further ado…

Happy Birthday, Doctor!
Forty-six years ago today, the day after an international tragedy (so very few people were actually paying attention), the BBC ran a strange little twenty-four minutes of television. One year ago today, the TARDIS Project began with our review of those twenty-four minutes.
Happy forty-sixth birthday, Doctor Who!
Happy first birthday, TARDIS Project!
See you in December, everyone!

Wrapup – Planet of Giants
Hello everyone, the Historian here with the wrapup post for the first story of Doctor Who’s second season, “Planet of Giants.” As I’ve said in each episode review (see below), neither Ketina nor I were much looking forward to this story as we both remembered it as being (charitably) slight and a bit dull. It was odd to discover that, according to several interviews I read at the Doctor Who Interview Archive that this was Carole Ann Ford and William Russell’s favorite story. Obviously, it was time for a reassessment, so I tried to go in with an open mind. And I was rewarded–as Ketina and I both discovered, this story, although still problematic, has a lot to recommend it.
