The Myth Makers

 Myth Makers (part 1)


We open up on a right old sword fight between two men. Well, that's a start.

I have Who Recons CGI recon and my Loose Cannon audio but they two don't mesh together very well so this is a one off experiment.

The two men have a lengthy sword fight across a lot of location scenery, and then the TARDIS shows up right in front of them.


STEVEN: That's hardly surprising in the circumstances. Why do you suppose they're fighting?
DOCTOR: I haven't the remotest idea, my boy. No doubt their reasons will be entirely adequate. Yes, I think I perhaps I'd better go and ask them where we are.
VICKI: Doctor, be careful! They look terribly fierce.

The Chase



The Chase (episode 1)

We are reminded that the Daleks now have time travel and are after the Doctor and friends. This is followed by music far too jaunty for the occasion, and the Doctor whistling as he fixes things in the TARDIS. He then tells off Vicki for joining in.

Ian is reading a book called "Monsters from Outer Space" and calls it far-fetched. We are in Terry Nation jokes land.

"I am a useless person," says Vicki who sits on a seat which collapses onto Barbara's project. The much vaunted Terry Nation character writing skills on display here as he waits anxiously to get his pepperpots into action.

The Space Museum



The Space Museum (part 1)



The TARDIS console freezes then moves in slow motion as the regulars are frozen in place around it and the screen goes blank.

We see a bunch of dead spaceships and an old fort building.

The TARDIS lands against a rocky backdrop.

The Crusade

 

The Crusade (episode 1)




Ah, even after a weaker story there's nothing quite like the Dr Who theme to get your mood up.

Some men with swords hunt through a forest, with other men stalking them. The TARDIS lands silently in the middle of this as the tense music grows. Already this has more jeopardy to it than Web Planet and nothing has happened.

It's Julian Glover! What an actor. He's speaking in iambic pentameter too and tells us we are in Jaffa and he's taking on Saladin. So its Richard the Lionheart.
