the rocks was an image I had in my head for years afterwards. I can
also remember being terrified of Scaroth in City of Death. Both these
memories would be when I was 5.
The earliest story I remember following was probably Logopolis, again
the images in that story held a certain candle - 2 TARDI, the Master
etc.

Mine is The Sea Devils - Jon Pertwee being chased through the sea fort by
one of them, hot to prevent his future career as Worzel Gummidge. Now *that*

I have vague memories of some scary jelly-like creature earlier, but I could
never work out what story that came from, possibly a late Hartnell story.
I must have been a bit of a cowardly cutlet when I was young.

The first time I realised that Dr Who was a TV series and not a series of
movies was when I was about 4 or 5, and they were showing 'The Brain of
Morbius' on the ABC. This was probably also the first episode which I
didn't run away from before the intro-sequence had finished, hehe. I think
the first full story I watched was Genesis of the Daleks.

The drashigs in the swamp. The sea monster. The tardis being pulled
out of the scope and growing to full size. This was the first stuff I
saw. I was hooked then, obviously.

Growing up in the States, my first memory was of seeing the two Peter
Cushing Dalek movies on TV. I think they're crap now, though when I
was about 4 years old (1970) they were like the most frightening
movies ever made!
I didn't see the series proper though until I was 12 years old when my
PBS station showed it from "Robot" onwards....

why Floella Benjamin was in the cast ... OK, so she wasn't but she had the
same beads in her hair as those spooky Movellans did, and I was 7 at the
time.
Think the next thing I remember too was Logopolis, with Tegan belly-aching
at Aunt Vanessa for being late, then the Master turning her into a little
Doll thing (Thank god !) .. And finally the watcher, erm watching good old
Tom.
Have plenty of memories from then on.

campers discover the Ogri, investigate, and are trapped and killed when they
touch it. Gosh, I must've been 8 or 9, I'd guess, and I didn't know at the
time what I was watching. Only later did I find I had been watching Doctor
Who.
The first story I remember watching, knowing what it was, was "The Mutants" a
year or so later -- only I was expecting it to be half an hour or an hour like
US TV shows were, and PBS was screening the whole thing at once, edited into
"movie format". It started at 4 and I was a pretty confused kid when 5:00
rolled around and the plot was STILL branching out. (Sure, I remember that,
but don't ask me what I wore to work yesterday...:-)) Anyway, I don't think I
made it to the end, my attention span being rather short at the time. For
years afterwards, though, I was convinced I had watched Tom Baker in the role,
just because he was by far the most recognizable Doctor in the States.
I remember seeing part or all of "The Armageddon Factor" a bit later on (STILL
an all-time fave, maybe because I still watch it through the eyes of a 10-year
old).
The story that hooked me on the show was "Earthshock", which I saw here in late
1984. That ship hit the Earth and my life changed...:-)

Who shirt which he got at the last pledge drive (the one with The Five
Doctors and Snakdance which we still have the tape of, consequencially). It
was a 25th Anniversary shirt, so it must have been 1988, when I was about
three or four.
My first episode memory comes come time around 1990, as we had already moved
into a different house. I was laying on the floor of my mom's room,
watching the TV. She was watching Doctor Who. All I can remember is
Davison running along, with autumn leaves behind him. Then he was looking
down at something. I closed my eyes, and when I opened them, the credits
had started.
I've sort of placed this to Mawdryn Undead pt.1, but this may be wrong. Any
other ideas?

I'd guess the last episode of An Unearthly Child/100,000 BC in the
repeat series The Five Faces of Doctor Who, 1981. Troughton and co.
probably come into it because The Krotons was the following week.

It sounds, in principle at least, a lot like the cliffhanger at the
end of An Unearthly Child/beginning of The Daleks.

It could be any number of things.
Several 'BP' items, though I don't recall Janet Ellis doing a K9 item.
Might be the Tina Heath visiting the Longleat Exhibition item from 1980.
Mat Irvine & K9 visit the Science Museum in 'Saturday Superstore' in 1984.
I think that's the brief 'Saturday Superstore' insert c1985/6 - Sarah
Greene tours the Visual FX Workshop and meets K9.
Hang on, 'Open Air' had an item about the VFW in 1990 which had Janet
Ellis. I don't recall K9, but it *could* be that.....

the way through seasons 10 and 11, then the doctor regenerated into Tom
Baker which left me very cold and bitter, like I couldn't believe that
the doctor I knew was gone forever, and me being a kid I couldn't make
the transition and stopped watching the show sometime during season 12.
I just kept thinking that the new doctor was such a goof and wondered
how he could possibly be so different from the previous doctor. In any
case, years later I learned my lesson and had grown up and had watched
all the Tom Baker stories and realized how fantastic they were. And I
also realized that there was no reason to be sad because I could get the
tapes of all the Pertwee stories, even ones that I had never seem before
and watch them whenever I wanted to. Of course, when your a kid you
don't think that way. I just assumed that Pertwee was gone and I'd
never see him again. The whole regeneration concept boggled my mind.
It was so completely unexpected at the time, since I knew very little
about DW. I didn't know there were other doctors besides Pertwee. I
only knew what I had seen, seasons 10 and 11, which do reveal quite a
bit about the show if you think about it, but they don't prepare you for
a whole new doctor.

1978 then bits from 'Destiny of the Daleks' and 'City of Death' in 1979.

Actually, thinking about this I just noticed the scar on my left hand,
something I don't usually see anymore - incurred in a Who related
incident.
Apparently, the story is told, that as a 2 yo, my mum was putting my
sister's freshly laundered nappies to dry by the fire, moving the guard
momentarily. At that moment, I climbed into the empty laundry basket and
began leaping around shouting "I'm in the TARDIS!" at which point I fell
over and put my hand in the fire.
Anyone else got any Who-related, nights spent in casualty type blood and

Not *exactly* Who-related, but I was struck by a car less than half an hour
following the transmission of episode 3 of Image of the Fendahl on 12/11/77.
That necessitated a trip to Casualty at good old Victoria Infirmary in
Glasgow. It was a cold, wet night too, so that made the whole experience
even more unpleasant whilst I was lying there in the road waiting for the
ambulance. If only I'd listened to Dave Prowse... :)

Experiment" episode 1. I was impressed by the Sontaran mask, intrigued by the
cliffhanger, and very very taken with the tunnel effect and music - but I
remember thinking it must be a rip-off of "The Tomorrow People," which had been
running for years in America on Nickelodeon. Little did I know!
Of course, within 2 days "Genesis of the Daleks" was on and that was it, I was

Would that be Davros, ruthless creator of the evil Daleks, the outer space
robot people from TV's Dr Who? Or another Davros?

The earliest Doctor Who memories I have is from when I was about
4-6 years old. I would appreciate some help of the titles of the
episodes.
One episode had a scene where a tree branch, or something like
that, took the doctor's watch. In the same episode, there was a
scene of some kind of spaceship with aliens outside of it. They looked like
they were made of leaves.
In another episode, the doctor battled a monster that hid itself behind a
clock. I would be glad if someone recognize these episodes, and can tell me
the names of them, as I would like to see them again.

PROBABLY "MARK OF THE RANI", though the tree held Peri rather than taking
the Dr's watch. A couple of stories later, Peri broke the Doctor's watch.
Which may be where you're confused, although you seem to like timepieces so
a Time Lord is a good thing for you to like!

PRESUMABLY "THE KEEPER OF TRAKEN", where the Master, the Doctor's
arch-enemy, hid in a clock (really a TARDIS Time machine)...
Cardinal Zorak
a bit too young I guess unless you saw a friends' video (not a "Friends"
video!). Otherwise, the only sinister grandfather clocks I know are in "The
Dark is Rising", a book by Susan Cooper.
The marshemen resemble "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" from the film of
the same name.
Any more clues/memories?

fighting with some kind of monster. It was trying to strangle the doctor,
and it hid behind a clock. I think it was grey.
I saw these episodes on Sky channel I think. I live in Sweden, and we had
that channel for a while about 11-12 years ago. I cannot say for sure,
because so much time has passed.

Sounds like Tremas overrun by the Master in Keeper of Traken.

I don't think Doctor who has ever been shown on Sky TV. Are you sure it
wasn't Super Channel? I also had this channel during the time you're talking
about (the late eighties) and it showed the first three years of Tom Baker
stories so it probably is The Deadly Assassin. I don't know about the other
story you mentioned but if that's the channel you're remembering then at
least it narrows it down to those three seasons.

Then that would definitely be the 'Superchannel' transmission of 'The
Deadly Assassin' which was shown in 1991.
The plant one is probably 'The Seeds of Doom', which they also showed
around the same period.

Oddly enough, this reminds me that I saw at the very least the
regeneration episode of PotS on CKVU in '80 or '81 -- for a very long
time after that, I had _no_ idea what that was about, since they only
showed Pertwees (IIRC) on 'VU13...Naturally, I had no concept of the
first two Doctors _whatsoever_....

Anyway- earliest memory? I have a very very vague recollection of
Pertwee confronting the spider-queen at the end of PotS, but I remember
it very differently, and from a different angle, than how it was
actually shot.
After that, I guess I have bits of images from the whole of Baker's
first season- but as a wee 4 year old, things are blurry. First stand-
out bit came when the wirrn fell out of the cupboard in Ark In Space.
That deeply traumatised me for ages, and made cupboards something I
didn't want to know about.
A bit later the krynoid undermined my love of our garden- as my father
would stand at the window and claim to see "something moving in the

and the fictional worries of childhood were replaced by altogether
scarier real-life threats.

I always wondered how people became fans just from the terrible 80's
stories. If I was exposed to that stuff first, I probably wouldn't be
here now.

Quick children! Into the time-machine! Now, if we take these tapes of 80's

he probably won't be in RADW in the year 2000. Isn't that fantastic?!?!

It could have been worse, it could have been a naked Cyberman masturbating
behind a bush.
Now THAT would be scary...
