Nothing like viisting the crew of the HMS Troutbridge to confirm the world is safe FROM them.

Holy crap.Is like a bunch of Penguin Village neighbours escaped to the past!

One of my all-time favourite moments in Doctor Who history. Watching this moment is SO satisfying!

3rd Doctor: Well, I'll tell you something that should be of vital interest to you.

Professor Stahlman: And what's that?

3rd Doctor: That you, Sir, are a NITWIT!

Only Mr.Phiips can "navigate to Antarctica and end anchoring the HMS Troutbridge on the literal other side of the planet.

I must credit Doctor Who for making me to discover The Navy Lark. I was searching other roles played by Jon Pertwee...

...and i ended aboard the HMS Troutbridge. The Navy Lark became and still is, really high on my top list of radio sitcoms.

I remember very well the story that made me the whovian i am. Invasion of the Dinosaurs. Which, yes, it has some pretty awful FX. But it was the story that made me step inside the TARDIS for good!

Also, it was a very bad first impression of Captain Mike Yates. Given his role i the serial is HARD to like him. Very, very hard.

But in the end, i'm thankful to that serial for what i said.

Nestlé’s Doctor Who milk chocolate bars. Back in 1971 I used to buy one from the little post office on Ashley Lane as I walked home from primary school (the phone box outside the post office was our pretend TARDIS). The choccie wasn’t as nice as Cadbury’s, but it was Doctor Who, so…

And @DekaBlack there’s a new edit of a classic adventure on BBC4, showing ahead of the new spinoff!

A paced-up version of 1972’s The Sea Devils (what else?) starts at 7pm. With updated SFX maybe?! No need to mess with that iconic music / soundscape though!

I think I’m slightly more excited about seeing #JonPertwee and #RogerDelgado in action again than I am about the #TheWarBetweenTheLandAndTheSea 😆
