Sadly the more recent ones are less hilariously terrible although some of the icons are curious at best

So what I learned from AI today is that Anthony Eden - like the Master - kept coming back in increasingly implausible disguises

I have few ambitions left but I'm still keen that my last words are "You? What are you doing here?" and that they end up being recorded from an angle where you can't see who I'm talking to.

OFF TO THE TOWER WITH THEM (never to be seen again).

I wonder why there isn’t a KING JOHN SOCIETY. Maybe I should set one up. I had to sit next to his corpse twice a week at school.

The changes were quite good. I’ve always liked it while also thinking Johnny Byrne trying to simultaneously channel Malcolm Hulke and Eric Saward was insane and leads to mad pivots like the Doctor declaring the Silurians want peace one moment and want to kill all β€œape primitives” the next

This is the one Michael Grade consigned to Room 101; the one that made him determined to say, β€œNo more.” In a very real sense Warriors of the Deep was the death of Doctor Who. Cant wait to see it again!

Of course Nigel Stock was more of an β€œEleven” fan, but he liked Peter Davison’s β€œFive” cosplay

If you listen to Big Finish he’s basically gone back for them all at this point
