Original air dates April 1966. Three of four episodes are missing and I get to watch reconstructions.
Oh, goody. Clowns as Doctor Who monsters.
A bored superpowered amoral villian. Doctor Who has invented Q for us, decades early.
Also, the Towers of Hanoi, which I knew the rules for. I’m not sure I could do it without error; I’ve written the code, but it would be easy to make a mistake.
The game with Steven, Dodo and the clowns is almost incomprehensible in the slide show. Buzzing and manic giggling. They did their best.
An empty TARDIS! What a difficult thing to shoot.
And now, the credits roll. Maybe we’ll get to see the Doctor’s game now… or not!
If these are actual prisoners then winning your own freedom is a cruelty to them, and the only solution is not to play. Prisoner’s dilemma. Not sure it’d work, though.
Again, this trial was hard to follow as a slide show. It might have made better video than it did a slide show.
Oh! The phone in the door is used this early, too! I thought that belonged to Nine!
