This is so wonderful. I love how you capture the dialogue and speech patterns of the Classic stories. The string made me laugh, also. And Vicki not realizing the sarcasm in Barbara's "we're so old" statement. :D

[lost_spook]

Aww, thank you! *blushes at the kind comments*

This is just so One (and Barbara, and Ian, and Vicki...), especially how they casually drop in little educational tidbits for the audience (like pyramids in space!) And the string at the end!

And the frozen passengers never waking up, which I suppose would have saved on having to pay the actors for speaking roles.

Aw, thanks. And, ha, because pyramids in space are totally educational... um? ;-p

And the frozen passengers never waking up, which I suppose would have saved on having to pay the actors for speaking roles.

I'm a lazy thoughtful scriptwriter.

“If you’re going to say anything about Captain Birdseye at the helm, it’s not in very good taste,” she told him.
eheheheheh, I would love to see a Dr Who/Cap'n Birdseye partnership, now... Sweet as the moment when the Tardis went EERrwWwoooooSHHHhEERrwWwoooooSHHHhEERrwWwoooooSHHHh!

hehe, and after all the advanced electronic fiddle-faddling, everything rests on a little bit of string, clever... What a Macgyver the Doctor is, really.

Well, you can cross DW with anything; it's a thing! ;-)

You can't go wrong with a bit of string. *nods* Thank you!

Ohhh, that was delightful!! I am currently enjoying the First Doctor with my boyos and this was like one of those episodes!! Him and his 'advanced string'. *Giggles* Do love his low tech tricks with high tech controls...would love to see more of that in the New Who, actually.

Perfection, sweetie!

*HUGS*

Aw, thank you! Glad you liked it! :-)

And, as to the One-watching, how lovely! Where are you up to and are you all enjoying it? Any favourites so far?

*Beams* then again, I've been aware of the awesome that is your fic for a bit now. Always happy to read!

We are now up to...*thinks* Well, we just finished the first half of 'The Arc'. Tis slow going now that they are back in school, but this seems to not matter to them one bit! Eleventy is their 'first Doctor' (Ronin doesn't remember Ten) and he is their fav. But Ronin adores the First as well. Think the boyo will be like me and love them all Because DOCTOR. *Laughs* And now they're growing up (properly) on it like Mama did.

I'm such a dork.

Lessee...Jayden loves anything with Daleks. And the first episode with them is his fav. He freaked out a little and loved every second! I think Ronin's favorite was 'The Aztecs' though he'd pull a 'Mama' and go 'I really have no fav...can we watch more Doctor Who now?' *CACKLES*

Aw, that is so cool. It just goes to disprove all the people who say no modern children would ever look twice at things like that - it isn't true. It just depends on the child, and if there's an interest. (Pfft to those people). And you're not a dork, you're giving your children a marvellous hero and wonderful bunch of imaginative stories to play with in their minds - that's a lovely thing to share with them! ♥

And, aww, well, Daleks are Daleks aren't they? And The Aztecs is very good. If you had to pin me down and make me choose a favourite Hartnell, that would probably be mine.

'I really have no fav...can we watch more Doctor Who now?' *CACKLES*ETA: once, a few years ago, I was in a big video shop, looking at things, and a mother and her child were closely looking at the DWs and the mother stopped and said, all embarrassed, "He loves Doctor Who, but he'll only watch Colin Baker!" And so I helped show her which were the Sixth Doctor stories (she was hoping for a box set), and went off very happy, because that just made my
