stunt_muppet: (classic doctor who)
Add MemoryShare This Entry
So there's this quiz that tests how many Classic Who serials per Doctor you can name in five minutes. Yes, it's an old link, but I didn't feel like doing it back then, and I'm actively looking for things with which to procrastinate now.

My results:

One: All but three - I forgot The Reign of Terror (for shame!), The Space Museum, and The Time Meddler. And yet, I remembered serials like Galaxy 4 and Mission to the Unknown. My priorities, they are in the entirely wrong place.

Two: All of 'em, and under time! I can almost name them in order, too, but Victoria's era throws me because I keep forgetting what order the burninated ones are in.

Three: All of them, with three minutes to go. To no one's surprise.

Four: All of them except The Talons of Weng-Chiang and The Stones of Blood. Why do I remember the bad/obscure ones so much easier? I mean, remembering Meglos and Underworld in lieu of Stones and Talons? Bzuh?

Five through Seven: All of them, substantially under time. Strangely, these are the eras I've seen the least of, and yet I can name every one of them. (Though I got stuck for a while in Five's era because I couldn't remember if he had Revelation of the Daleks or Resurrection of the Daleks. It would help if every Dalek story from Five's era onward wasn't "(Four-Syllable-Word-Starting-With-R) of the Daleks", is all I'm saying.)

ETA: Except "Remembrance" is actually three syllables. Whoops. My point stands, however.

Conclusions drawn: I’ve either watched that BabelColor "Every Episode" video way too many times, or I just have this habit of packing trivia like the titles of episodes I haven’t even seen into my head even though I’ve got no use for it.

That every episode vid is one of my favorite things on youtube.

Yes, yes it is! Especially now that it's been revised for the new series - I've wasted so much time watching that vid.

Also, I found out today that the "No Such Thing as Aliens" colorization video got re-uploaded. And that it's longer. And that it has lots and lots of Invasion and Planet of the Daleks footage. This made my entire day.

It so is. I've wasted hours on that YouTube page.
