pilot picspam

[carmen_lj]

For there were picspams of pilots/finales on my flist for the month of pilot/finale picspam at a comm what name I can't remember, here is a picspam of the pilot o ma lovely show. So, forty-five years ago, on a cold November evening, this was not on the telly. Cause it's the first pilot made. It's pretty much what was onscreen except Jackie Hill didnae fluff a line that time and the Doctor had better clothes and was a bit less of a git. He has an Evil Laugh moment in this one. Heh. But mostly Babs is awesome. It's her story; she's the proactive protagonist. I LOVE THE BABS SHOW QUITE A LOT. Ahem.

Anyway, here is A Lovely Picspam of the Doctor Who pilot, An Unearthly Child, part one:







WOO-EEE-WOOO! The original and best theme tune. And time tunnel. OH I LOVES IT. Also it looks dead good. 1963 PEOPLE.



The policeman! With his wee torch! Certain fans consider everything after he opens the door to Totter's Yard to be uncanonical. Trufax dudes.



Our hero, Babs! ILU! And her love interest, Ian. They've got this weird student, yo, and Babs is talking Ian into going and spying on her, like the good and responsible teachers they are.



The weird student. Obv, she is not an alien.



"Susan, are you an alien?"

"No, of course not, Mr Chesterton."



Spyings!



But what is this? A Police Box in a junk yard. A humming Police Box? How bizarre.

Also, Who's v first handpr0n. It took them about fifteen minutes, yo.



And who is this Mysterious and Enigmatic Stranger? And why has he got Susan the Weird Student stuck in the Police Box Cupboard?

Naturally, Ian finds the answers by going for a Manly Shove through the doors.



Zomg! It's bigger on the inside!



"This is mad! Mad, I say!"

"Calm down, Ian."

"MAD!"



"Lols! Silly humans don't understand our awesome alien ways."



"We be leavin you weird aliens now."

"Noes! You might tell someone about our awesome alien ways. I KIDNAP YOU NOW."



Zomg, kidnapped!

My favorite thing about this is that he has a scarf. I am sad.

(Actually, I love Hartnell. And Susan. And Babs. And also Ian, because he's there.)

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Babs love of Ian does a lot to make him shiny in my eyes, yes.

[scionofgrace.livejournal.com]

Well, Ian isn't so bad even on his own. How many science teachers do you know who can beat up an Aztec champion?

[airie-fairy.livejournal.com]

omg pretty, pretty picspam!!!!

Needs pictures of Susan apologetically informing Ian that she's much smarter than him in science class. XD And possibly that fit at his shameless stupidity when he tries to do equations.

That idea about everything after the cop being uncanonical is...kinda interesting. Like, the whole series is a crackdream.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

She says "space" beautifully in the scene. It's not often I can say Lovely Things about her acting, but that was a great moment.

[violetisblue.livejournal.com]

Yay. :-D

[calapine.livejournal.com]

MONOCHROME IS BEST.

[violetisblue.livejournal.com]

I miss One. Yes, yes, I know Two is awesome (though it's still a hard slog through "The Underwater Menace"), but I miss him anyway.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Meep! I pity your LACK OF TASTE.

[violetisblue.livejournal.com]

For missing One or disliking "Underwater Menace"? :-)

[calapine.livejournal.com]

The latter! :P

[violetisblue.livejournal.com]

Jamie is everything good and sweet and charming and wonderful (seriously, he is, right from the start), it's everything else I'm not sure about. I just finished the first episode, does it get any better?

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Oh, no. It gets worse. There's an awesome chase scene of lols AT LEAST. You may wish to cover your ears during bits of the last episode. POLLY IS DONE NO FAVOURS.

[violetisblue.livejournal.com]

Then we're in agreement that this is, er, not Polly's best spotlight.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

I try to concentrate on the bit where she pretends to be a god.

[wondygal.livejournal.com]

So, forty-five years ago, on a cold November evening, this was not on the telly.

*giggles*

WOO-EEE-WOOO!

*giggles giggles*

AWESOME PICSPAM, DUDE. Oh now I want to watch that again. I shouldn't be allowed to see picspams, this always happens.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

It is a beautiful and perfect episode of gorgeous telly, so it is. And, oh, that is a lovely icon o Babs.

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

Hartnell was awesome. And I loved his hat.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

It is indeed a smashing hat, yes.

[reapermum.livejournal.com]

And it took thirty years for me to realise why the broadcast was delayed.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Nah, that one's a myth.

[reapermum.livejournal.com]

Then why was I sat there grumbling because the news was on instead? And then they repeated the first episode before the second the following Saturday for all those who missed it.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

The assassination wasn't the reason for the delay though. Ah forget what it was. Something less newsworthy.

[in-the-end.livejournal.com]

I am about to start watching One's last serial, so this makes me all sad and melancholy like. ONE, I SHALL MISS YOU.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

It's alright, HE TURNS INTO TROUGHT.

[bubbles83.livejournal.com]

*loves* I should really go watch more Babs.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

YES.

[elyssadc.livejournal.com]

Oh, Barbara. How I love thee. And the b&w eras really were the best. I even wish all of Three's serials had been monochrome.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Mind of Evil would look way less classy in colour, yo.

[crytears.livejournal.com]

This post is FTW!
Team TARDIS version one is awesome!

[pimpmytardis.livejournal.com]

I would totally wear One's hat. It looks cozy.

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Yay! I need to watch this again. Several times. And follow it up with all the rest of The Babs Show, which I haven't seen in months! Months, I say! Clearly far too long.

I will never get tired of giggling at the fact that Ian and Barbara's first instinct is to spy on their weird student.

[sabra-n.livejournal.com]

Certain fans consider everything after he opens the door to Totter's Yard to be uncanonical. Trufax dudes.

...Do I want to know what kind of tortured logic they use to reach that conclusion?

[akashasheiress.livejournal.com]

The best bit is One's GREAT LAFF OF EBIL!!!
