@simon_brooke @inthehands wow, I’m not sure who this “everyone” who agrees the Pertwee years were the “nadir” of Doctor Who are. I’m critical of the Doctor’s habitual resort to alien genocide throughout the history of the show. It’s their ability to couple this with a self-perception as a person of peace and reason, more than anything else, that marks it as quintessentially British. But for many of us the Pertwee and early Tom Baker years represent the show at its absolute peak. Sarah Jane Smith, just for starters!
