So here we are, two and a half months into the epic project and I've just completed the first season - 8 stories over 42 episodes. For some reason, I've found myself writing up
The Reign Of Terror a week late and when combined with the delay at Christmas, I'm currently 4 stories behind schedule! I don't mind dropping back because of holidays but dropping random weeks isn't good. Thankfully, like last time the next story should be a breeze -
Planet Of Giants was originally a four part adventure but was cut down to just three before broadcast. The unedited version no longer exists but has been reconstructed for the DVD... it's interesting to watch but easy to see why it was cut down and I won't be watching again this time around.
Meanwhile, I thought I'd post a round up of my scores for season one since I've been including them in the reviews (something I hadn't originally planned). My scores are devised from various content and production categories (which I'll breakdown in another post at some point) which give me two percentages that I then combine for an over all score...
| # | Title | Content | Production | Total |
|---|
| 001 | An Unearthly Child | 61% | 76% | 69% |
| 002 | The Daleks | 73% | 78% | 76% |
| 003 | The Edge of Destruction | 73% | 76% | 75% |
| 004 | Marco Polo | 47% | 96% | 72% |
| 005 | The Keys of Marinus | 53% | 72% | 63% |
| 006 | The Aztecs | 59% | 84% | 72% |
| 007 | The Sensorites | 69% | 88% | 79% |
| 008 | The Reign of Terror | 48% | 92% | 70% |
This then gives us a combined over-all score for season one of 72%
