It was WONDERFUL to finally recap! But still, I feel like I've never had the chance to really WATCH that story properly. ARGH. But now that I've recapped it, it's open to be rewatched! :D

You mean he was turning into Seven? :P

LOLZ. Very possibly! IT WAS VERY . . . NICE TO HEAR. (I wish I had that audio cutter I downloaded once - I'd try & see if I could get it for everyone to hear!)

Laughing is not so uncommon in Sixties Who, because the way the show was filmed at the time left little chances for retakes when an actor fluffed. In The Seeds of Death, there's a scene in which Zoe laughed when the Doctor fell into the room, and in the commentaries Wendy Padbury spent that whole scene apologizing, with the director reassuring her that it was absolutely normal under the circumstances, and that nowadays she would have been given the chance to repeat the scene.

O, that reminds me of a moment in The Silurians, where Caroline John points out a little mistake she made in a scene with Jon & it was said that there just hadn't been time to do a retake of it, but it was natural enough that it could be excused. & on The Mind Robber commentary, Wendy also mentions that her fight with the Karkus wasn't able to be redone even though she'd slipped up a bit in it, if I remember right. (I miss that serial likewhoa. ;__;)
& I'm planning on converting that vid soon, so I shall look for it once it's in my iTunes! :D

Actually, if my calculations are correct, you'll have one more recap after Enemy. For this week it's Tomb, The Great Space Elevator and The Abominable Snowmen, and for next week it will be The Ice Warriors, The Enemy of the World and The Web of Fear - which, of course, means that you'll be finishing Victoria's era next week, since we don't have Fury from the Deep, which was to follow Web. I hadn't realized how short her tenure was!

O, YES, YOU'RE COMPLETELY RIGHT! I can't believe I got everything so scrambled - especially considering how obsessed much I love Enemy of the World & I DO remember its ending (or what we see at the beginning of The Web of Fear, rather) leading into The Web of Fear. I'll miss Victoria when she goes, sadly. It feels like I just started her era!

(& since I think we've collapsed our threads like . . . CRAZILY . . . I may be able to get my hands on the audio of The Space Pirates. I'll see about Fury of the Deep if I can.)

Frazer might sympathize, though. :P

I do think I'd have to agree with you there. ::giggle::
