"supposing there isn't any mercury on this planet?"

then you'll all die. too bad.

#monsterdon

I see the alien dropped his iPhone!

#monsterdon

@Taweret

Doctor Who. That's his name. First name Doctor, last name Who.

The thought of how it'll trigger Those Whovians sparks a kind of perverse joy in me. #Monsterdon

K-7? Is that circuit part of K-9's lineage? #Monsterdon

The Cloister Bell sounds terrible #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon🌌⏳🛸👨‍⚕️⁉️🤖🏯😱

I too want a fault locator

Set controls for the heart of a plot. #Monsterdon

So in the series (last time for a bit, I promise) Ian and Barbara are Susan's teachers. Susan is a teenager, and the two teachers come around and visit out of concern for the strange (dare I say alien?) behavior of their student.

Susan wandering off and getting into trouble is basically all she does for the next year and a half.

So that part hasn't changed.

#DoctorWho1965 #Monsterdon

Every Tardis should have a fault indicator

#monsterdon I like that she can just feel the danger.

#monsterdon Don't answer it's those pushy magazine kids again!

My god, the budget for the TARDIS interior in this film was, what, 2 British Pounds Sterling and a box of wires? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Every time Ian refers to Peter Cushing as Doctor Who, a little part of me dies.

"On a scale of 1-10, how plunger-like was this hand."

#monsterdon

@Binder definite schwifty vibes #Monsterdon

bloody door-to-door salesmen, even across all of time and space

#monsterdon #WeHaveDrWhoAtHome

Comedy is not hiting with me.
#Monsterdon

If it's not possible for any human form to survive out there ... how are you all alive? Fewer than 2 of you are from not-Earth. #Monsterdon

Ope. Kid running around on her own. Now the story behind.

Tag! You're it!

#monsterdon

By gawd that is the cheapest ugliest Tardis room ever. It looks so ramshackle.
#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

polite of them to knock, at least.

#monsterdon

Okay. Now, I've found the right movie, I hope. Let's just start 11 minutes in. I'm sure I haven't missed anything important.
#Monsterdon

This Doctor has the TARDIS in a police box cuz he got one cheap at a police auction.

#Monsterdon

"OH, it's just you, Ian?" [hits harder]

#monsterdon #WeHaveDrWhoAtHome

I also approve of "TARDIS" rather than "the TARDIS", tbh

#Monsterdon

Susan's holding a flower and looking around and the caption is "Better you than me"

#Monsterdon

Hey, it's me!

Girl: That's why I'm hitting you!

#monsterdon

Checkhov's flower? #monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

"Don't worry, it's a time machine and I can return you to the exact moment when you left. I think? I seem to forget how to do that for seasons at a time."

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks1966 is dr who related ti cindy lou who

oooo, good Science-y sound

#Monsterdon

What's dangerous is how much hairspray you had to have used for that hairdo, Barbara. Be sure to stay away from any flames. #Monsterdon #DrWhoandtheDaleks1965

#monsterdon

oh IAN thankfully you were there to be a COMPLETE OAF and RUIN AN ARTIFACT

RIck voice Ian,, Ian,, we gotta explore the city Ian

Morty voice uh, gee, Doctor Who, I don't know, aw geez

#monsterdon

Sigh.

Normies.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

@nev I'm trying to talk my Friday movie group into watching An Unearthly Child this week, just to clear my head #Monsterdon

@arrjay hah, I was just trying to come up with some appropriate snark involving dear Wesley…

#monsterdon

"Go back?! Granddaughter is right, you are a coward. But all right."

#monsterdon #WeHaveDrWhoAtHome

"I think we should get out of this place..." I can hear the music to the lyrics in my head.

#Monsterdon #DoctorWhoDaleks1965

I mean, it *is* London.

#monsterdon #doctorWhoAndTheDaleks1966

is he gonna call him Doctor Who the whole movie? like, i try not to be an exhausting pedant, but like... (-_-)

#monsterdon

Barbara the medium #monsterdon #Let'sExploreTheCityIan

Had to ask to confirm, but glad it didn't take long to figure out that this is more of an "is what it is" kinda of movie, rather than asking you to know some kind of alien lore or teasing that there will be a "The Dr is an alien" kind of reveal later.

It's just a funny sci-fi family going on an adventure.

#monsterdon

"I can feel it"

And *I* can feel after 10 minutes of this that we are going to have a rip-roaring hour ahead of us. And the Daleks haven't even arrived yet!

#Monsterdon

Is it a huge, EMERALD city?

#Monsterdon

Huge city. Tiny model. You be the judge. #Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

#monsterdon

yeah IAN you EFFING COWARD

cmon grandfather

The falling, so much falling

#monsterdon

"...when he looks through the binoculars make sure to have the camera focus on the trees"

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

The Emerald City! We're off to see the wonderful wizard of Scarro!
#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

taking a drink because someone called Cushing Doctor Who again

#monsterdon

#monsterdon This is a series of sincere chuckles so far. With no offence to William Hartnell, I'm really liking Cushing's Doctor.

Frilled Lizard Dog statues are terrifying! #Monsterdon

I can't decide who is more annoying, the little girl or the goofy boyfriend
#monsterdon
#drwhoandthedaleks

#wehavedrwhoathome
Nothing broken! They just broke all the things!

#monsterdon Well, Ian is still the same. He instantly wants to go home.

Tonight's Monsterdon is more approachable than most with it being #DrWho
I recommend tuning in along with the #monsterdon hashtag tonight 😄

Wow, how extraordinary!

Let me just look through these binoculars...

peering through binoculars It looks... exactly the same!!!

#monsterdon

ZOOM OF DOOM

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

Is the monster real, or cake?
The answer is cake.
#Monsterdon

They found an old scientifically outdated dinosaur park that was shut down?
#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

"Maybe if we zoom fast enough no one will notice it's an unarticulated model!"

#monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks1966

oh, the curator's gonna be _pissed_

#monsterdon #WeHaveDrWhoAtHome

Honestly I'm more inclined to believe that Susan invented the TARDIS

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

#Monsterdon🌌⏳🛸👨‍⚕️⁉️🤖🏯😱

It's a statue of a lizard!

A quiet evening of the family reading at home has gone a bit sideways.

#Monsterdon

and this girl

we'll call her, "Wesley"

#monsterdon

I'm saying it: Ian is the klutz. #Monsterdon #DrWhoandtheDaleks1965

When do they meet the scarecrow, lion and tin man?

#Monsterdon

Oh no, they landed in 2027!

#Monsterdon

Their civilization was devastated in an attempt to win the Greenest Planet Awards.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

This lady wants to be Ann Margaret but that hairstyle.. hmm..

okay, points for the kid being the smartest person here, but like, minus several thousand for everything else.

#monsterdon

HA HA HA A SOFT CENTRE, GET IT?!

😩

#monsterdon

Ok. If this is Darvos, then he was pulling a fast one when they went to it in 1963.

Oh. Wait. The Doctor lies.

#monsterdon

In my head canon, this Dr. Who was a Companion of the Doctor when he was a young man. His granddaughters have grown up hearing stories of his exploits with the Doctor, and now, he’s trying to get back to the Doctor with his granddaughters, so he’s built his own recreation of the TARDIS.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

that lady did just kinda bust in there and sent them into the vortex huh

Ahhh, a repurposed parking lot in London.

That's how you can tell that this is a fancy production because it's not a quarry in Whales.

#monsterdon #doctorWhoAndTheDaleks1966

In all honesty, considering this film version is really just based on Terry Nation's script from the show, did they have to basically rewrite all of the supporting characters? #monsterdon

They landed on the planet of the gel lights and upsidedown tree props.
#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

When does he blow up Alderaan?

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

Susie is smug, I wonder how much trouble she's going to get them into... #monsterdon

Such a sensible idea, considering who The Doctor is, and yet to home they do not go.

#Monsterdon

The jungle is probably petrified of the police box that randomly appeared in the middle of it

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks1966 the little girl is my favorite character

"Nothing broken lad?"

Just the alien lizard.

#Monsterdon

wait did she just call Ian a coward?

...she can stay

#monsterdon #WeHaveDrWhoAtHome

Is the real Ian so awful? I never watched #1 #Monsterdon

this clod is going to alter the course of histoy

#Monsterdon

I get it
This alternate version of Ian is Dick Van Dyke

#monsterdon

I like how Ian kinda sounds like a Lost Beatle #Monsterdon

Why this little girl character exists #monsterdon

poor ian chesterson, reduced to bumbling comic relief

#monsterdon #WeHaveDrWhoAtHome

Try to decide if Cushing is having fun or is quietly horrified at being here.

#Monsterdon #DoctorWhoDaleks1965

"Ah, the Tories have been elected again!"

#monsterdon

I have seen this before. How have seen this before if it wasn't #monsterdon ?
