In all my travellings throughout the universe I have battled against evil, against power-mad conspirators. I should have stayed here. The oldest civilisation, decadent, degenerate and rotten to the core. Ha! Power-mad conspirators, Daleks, Sontarans, Cybermen, they’re still in the nursery compared to us. Ten million years of absolute power - that’s what it takes to be really corrupt.

five easy reasons to watch the second doctor era:

  1. sick of companions all coming from 21st century england? please enjoy this selection of companions from the 18th, 19th, 20th and 22nd centuries!
  2. since half the episodes are missing, theres a diverse range of mediums to watch it in - regular live action, animated reconstruction, or my personal favourite, PowerPoint Slideshow With Questionable Audio
  3. base under seige is only a dull plot if you dont enjoy your blorbos getting put in Situations, which i dont believe anyone on tumblr has ever been accused of
  4. patrick troughton was a stout 5' 7". frazer hines, his tallest companion, was 5' 6.5" - most were noticeably shorter. every other character looks very tall around them, and the monsters of the week look positively, frighteningly huge
  5. i cannot stress enough. that about 70% of the show is just this
