Oh this movie should have had way more mat paintings. The trip up septic pipe mountain isn't exactly the best use of a painting.
#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks
Ah, a good ol' matte painting planet
I have this coil of rope, why I don't know, now CLIMB damnit!
damnn that Thal got cheeks
you can tell who's watching the archive.org print because of how far ahead they are xD
Hello matte painting. #Monsterdon
Don't forget, somebody wrote a whole song of just rock climbing music
The climbing is pathetic!
The Gang is not well-versed in rock climbing, okay?
They probably should have hired the orchestra for more than one day. This song is getting tiresome. #Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks
Will we get to see an epic "Ian died climbing the mountain" scene?
Probably not. But we can hope.

So much disappointment...
π William Hartnell, who played the Doctor in the television series, was not happy he was replaced by Peter Cushing in the movie.
π For his part, Peter Cushing, was said to regret that he did not take the part of the Doctor on the TV series any of the several times he was asked.
Climb? A mountain? Does that verb go with that noun? I never even considered! #Monsterdon #DoctorWhoAndTheDaleks
Worst. Hobbits. Ever.#Monsterdon #DrWhoandtheDaleks1965
Oh look, the one matte painting in the entire film.
skarro-stationary moon, apparently
I'd put that matte painting on my living room wall
What a convincing crawl across this surface. #Monsterdon
Okay. That's a great composite shot. #Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks
Yeah, don't help her up, just climb around her. That'll work.

@ramsey It's not a lore thing, it's a studio thing
WHY? The studio doesn't show us anything
No you should use defense plan 6
How IS Ian so useless?
SHUT UP, IAN
If you so much as put one toe in the bog of eternal emote you'll talk like a Dalek for THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. #Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks
Climb a mountain with 3 meters of rope... surely not! #Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks
So much filler #monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks
If there're bubbles Elyon is still alive and kicking guys!
Did they just let one of their people drown in the swamp without even bothering to try to save them?
electronic instruments? yes, *yamaha keyboards as defensive weapons.*
So sixties and so wonderful. #monsterdon
As they climb over the mountain, remember that all this is happening in one hour. The daleks are going to detonate the world-ending bomb in an hour.
The dude who died filling water canteens was prepping for a trip that would take less than an hour.
IT'S ON-LY A PAP-ER MOON.
Do you really want to fill water skins from the deadly swamp?
Heck of a moon above that pond! #Monsterdon
@trixter BUT DOCTOR, I AM A LAVA LAMP #monsterdon
GILLIGAN!
No! Artax! #Monsterdon #DoctorWhoAndTheDaleks
CLIMBING, JOEL. CLIMBING
#monsterdon 1h in and not a single shot of a Welsh Quarry?
okay the moon doesn't look realistic but it does look kind of nice
The eternal lesson being wrestled with in mid-century genre fiction: how do you handle being a peaceful people set against a hateful violent people? (I do not suggest that sci-fi did a *good* job of tackling questions of pacifism, it was just in the zeitgeist)
@overholt
Terrible PA system.
Ill be honest, I can only pick up about 50% of what the daleks are saying.
I wonder if these are adequate pipes.
Hey? Are they trying to leave these machines and leave the city? Because they didn't mention that. #monsterdon
Thals dying is kinda gratifying
Ian must the dumbest sumbitch ever.
Is that supposed to be a moon?
@Taweret couldn't you just put everyone in the Tardis and pop in the middle of the city?
#monsterdon
Okay I guess it wasn't a pipe in the water. #Monsterdon
Follow the critical linear infrastructure, they definitely won't have any monitoring set up #monsterdon
Are those red and black mutations I see floating on top of the swamp
@LingLass
If only they could have applied that sophistication to the design of the Tardis
Yβall just out here touching and drinking swamp water on the radioactive planet??
fun fact, cloudflare (bleh) uses a wall of lava lamps to help generate random numbers https://blog.cloudflare.com/randomness-101-lavarand-in-production/
HD is not kind to the realism of this set. #Monsterdon
Not sure what to make of the Thals, Mods, Bowie followers, Peter Pan cosplayers, or reject Romulans? #Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks
yeah I'm not climbing. imma go wait in the tardis
He saw a great big thing in the water. Was it ... a pipe? How does Ian not recognize fundamental plumbing? #Monsterdon
"we'll climb the mountain"
*LOTR music starts* #monsterdon
Those Dalek voices are just so, annoying?
The Dalek control room is much sexier than this version of TARDIS control room. #Monsterdon #DoctorWhoAndTheDaleks
Dalek water, keep on flowin'...
I wish this movie was bad in a more interesting way
I think it was the camera
Half expected Ian to pull back bloody stubs after the deadly swamp acid water dissolved his hands.
Didn't they already have the "we can't fight" talk. #Monsterdon
I really want the daleks to give an extensive report on the lava lamps.
THESE DEV-I-CES SERVE NO FUNC-TION BUT I.....I........I FEEL ENJOY-MENT.
#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks1966 that wink-y ruse was just an excuse to get ian punched ;)
"But you can rebuild it, man" is a slogan for our times.
for creatures that can't leave the city, they sure made a complicated pipe system.

When the production team needed a name for the flower Susan discovers growing on Skaro, they looked to an enthusiastic amateur florist on set*, who came up with "lilium philadelphicum".
* Peter Cushing
bloody hell we've gone five metres, can we rest for just a minute?!
I need help with my bingo card, does this count as "British countryside"? #monsterdon
...Are those chemistry molecule models in the river?
I always wondered where my HS teacher got his.
@JoeWynne So proto! #Monsterdon
They go on to play the dead marshes in Lord of the rings movies later on
#Monsterdon #DrWho #DrWhoAndTheDaleks1965
Rotating control panels is a cool idea
#Monsterdon
# DrWhoAndTheDaleks
C'mon humanoids, be best, and don't try luster those Daleks!
I want to re-dub all the Daleks with Paul Lynde impersonators. #Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks
Daleks of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist. #Monsterdon
the Thals traverse Dagobah.
Watch out for ROUSes #Monsterdon
Fire!
Washing your face in radioactive swamp water is totally safe #monsterdon
Are the lava lamps baby Daleks?
Lot of 7s in this film. #Monsterdon
As ever, Ian suffers for the Dr's machinations. #Monsterdon
NOW TO MAKE THE AUD-I-ENCE WAIT FOR THE EN-TIRE HOUR WHILE WE DO NO-THING.
βThe city is surrounded on three sides by rock walls. Itβs protected on the other side by a deadly swamp.β
See?! The Daleks are stuck in their city!!!

The concept of the "neutron bomb" is interesting here. Such a bomb was not developed until 1981, but the concept was bandied about as early as the 1950's.
THAT convinced them?
