Tumblr ate @i-am-delta-spooky‘s ask about the Doctor saying ‘stronger together’ but here’s the art I drew for it regardless. XD

im the robot

Again, this is even funnier if you know what a fucking production nightmare, with a possible curse attached to it no less, this robot prop was for the Doctor Who crew…

I want to know about the cursed robot

So the robot isn’t a guy in a suit, it’s an animatronic/puppet thing, and it wasn’t built for the show. In fact, no one knows who built it, one of the producers just FOUND IT ONE DAY in a building near the studio. It had apparently been built for another production that was cancelled and then just left to gather dust. So they thought “oh cool, let’s make this dumb robot the Doctor’s new companion, it’ll look neat and weird, everyone will have a gas with it.” NOPE. Kamelion was incredibly complicated to operate, so they assigned a guy named Mike Powers to figure out the best way to go about it. Apparently he did a great job streamlining Kamelion’s operation, and then he promptly died in a boating accident (which is where the “curse” idea comes from.) He didn’t leave any notes or instructions, and the show was already behind schedule, so they had to rush Kamelion’s scenes into production with no idea how it worked. It was a gigantic pain in the ass to use, took forever to set up, and needed constant upkeep and repairs. Everyone hated working with the prop, to the point that before Kamelion’s first episode even aired, they had already decided to kill him off later in the same season. Peter Davison, who played the Fifth Doctor, had the most scenes with Kamelion, and absolutely hated it. When Kamelion dies, the Doctor is really sad, but Davison said later that it was one of the best acting jobs of his career, because in reality, he was absolutely giddy with joy at being rid of the thing.

tl,dr: In the 80′s a Mystery robot prop built by unknown hands caused chaos on the Doctor Who set.

finding an abandoned mystery robot and bringing it home, leading to death, is the most doctor who plot ive ever heard

@brideshead

Remember that time Daleks and Cybermen had sass-off?

THIS IS LITERALLY MY FAVE SCENE FROM DOCTOR WHO EVER I AM NOT EVEN JOKING I AM SO GLAD SOMEONE MADE A POST OF IT I THINK ABOUT THIS MORE OFTEN THAN IS NORMAL UGH IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY

No one sasses better than the Daleks and Cybermen. No one.

ANGRY CYBORG SASS OFF

This was my favourite bit

Meanwhile, the Doctor is laughing their ass off watching from a monitor…

From time to time we just put this episode on for this.

TODAY IN HISTORY: On November 23, 1963, the BBC premiered a family-friendly sci-fi show called Doctor Who.

“Continue with your work.”

The Invasion of Time - season 15 - 1978

Invasion of Time is a good story really, REALLY hampered by budget.  The mystery is played out well as it goes, the twist in part 4 is unexpected and neat, the humor is fantastic, we get to see the inside of the TARDIS…

…Aaaaand it’s all for naught because it’s so cheap that it looks like the sets are falling apart all around them. This gifset really shows it off in full. Firstly that the shimmering, weird alien things that have been communicating with the Doctor are clearly just aluminum foil rattling (they don’t even bother to add a weird voice filter to them to make them even SLIGHTLY scary). And then the big reveal of the aliens? These three Great Gazoo-looking doofuses, with their leader being SHORTER than the Doctor. These are supposed to be very powerful beings we’re afraid of and it’s just these dorks who look like you could push the hell over.

The Gallifrey sets, no longer looking dark and ominous from “The Deadly Assassin,” are very brightly lit and you can tell how much they’re disintegrating, with visible holes and cobwebs around them. It MIGHT have actually been a decent effect if the point was to show off that Time Lord society was so stagnant that even basic maintenance was failing, but that’s not the point and so you’re just left with crappy sets held together by duct tape and hope.

The interior of the TARDIS, finally seen in much greater detail? Just a disused hospital that repeats over and over, not matching anything else in the TARDIS at all. Hell, the hallway outside the console room doesn’t even look like it’s finished being built.

Tom Baker said it best here: “Disappointing, aren’t they?”

The Stones of Blood - season 17 - 1978
