"It's all changed. We're free.", "Are we?", "Yes.", "What shall we do?", "Dunno.", Etta and Arak, "Vengeance on Varos" I think the idea of these two viewers of this drama - not involved - just occasionally commenting on what they're watching like a Greek chorus - is amazing. But everything about this story is so dark - (actually, a bit darker than the writer intended) - but the story has grown on me. BTW: this story was originally conceived for Season 20 (around "Snakedance" perhaps) and would have involved Nyssa and Tegan - I suppose they would have been the two in the mutating transmogrifier. It would be interesting to imagine how this story would be regarded if placed into the 5th Doctor's run. I like the horrifying idea of the transmogrifier within the story - but it was resolved disappointingly too easily, wasn't it? "You'll forgive me if I don't join you.", Doctor, "Vengeance on Varos" The acid bath scene gets most criticism as an example of the violence in the story. It was difficult to get the feeling the director wanted from the scene with the continuous-take multi-camera - a bit like the fight at the end of the previous Cybermen episode. BTW: I notice that Bax, the Graham Cull character, was credited twice in my copy of the second episode - with Owen Teale not credited at all. Re: "What was the closest Doctor Who when we each were born?" It's a thought that I'm sure crosses the mind of every Doctor Who marathon watcher. Your Who birthday occurs between Classic seasons 24 and 25 - so a little way off in your marathon. I, myself, was born between the discovery of footprints in the snow and the start of the "Marco Polo" epic (and also between the second and third "The Beatles" Ed Sullivan appearances).

I was born right inbetween two Doctors, and two eras. September 1969, almost exactly four months after Pat Troughton's final appearance in May and Jon Pertwee's first the following January. Probably little wonder that this is the start of my favourite period of Who, even though I have only the vaguest of memories of the early years of it.
