These videos traditional don't do as well as others, so if you would be willing to chip in some money to my Patreon and help keep these going I would really appreciate it!

I think "Shada" is the most made of any unmade story in the history of television.

[lewiskazinsky]

The behind the scenes history is as epic and turbulent as the show itself. The fact that Doctor Who even reached 1989 is a miracle. The drama then makes Chibnall’s controversies look like a playground fight.

The Tearing Of The Veil sounds like the best Doctor Who story we never got to see. Victorian gothica blended with silly humour is what makes the fourth doctors era so special and one of my personal favourites.

I've been on a proper binge of your videos, only to log in and see a brand new one about my favorite ever Doctor Who episode??? AWESOME!!

[DanTheManAD]

It’s really odd that most of the Season 17 lost stories sound far better than the Season 17 we finally got.

Been binging your videos lately. Keep up the great work!

[TheRunningLeopard]

It’s great to see you finally cover this episode, Shada holds an incredibly important place in my heart due to it helping me meet a close friend on an old school forum over a decade ago.

I like how the Doctor just pulls out a fucking medal and awards it to Romana but she never wears it again... I guess Gallifreyans who reach the rank of Time Lords have some authority to give awards?

i think the showrunner Moffat missed a trick by not asking the Addams Estate to make the college where 12 was teaching St. Cedd's College, Cambridge instead of St. Luke's

Love Big Finish's recent trend of creating revivals of Who's lost works

[dustin_]

I knew it that show had a mess going on in the late 70's and something that would continue throught the whole 80's decade surprisely the show only was thought to be cancelled in 1986, there really was a lot of issues in the Dr. Who in these days you can make a whole full iceberg on this topic...

Been waiting for this review! Nice Torchwood review by the way, mate, keep up the work!

The idea of the Doctor appearing in the real world was a concept in an episode I found really interesting in Supernatural, involving Sam and Dean entering our world where they're actors of a show called Supernatural, and it even features the production crew acting as themselves. Although I wouldn't be surprised if other sci-fi shows have explored this concept also

[NeilBlumengarten]

"The Gamble With Time" was commissioned on the day I was born. Coincidence? Who knows. Who knows, indeed.

[KrisFrost]

I have the novel adaptation of Shada. It was pretty fun.

[CineScarborough]

The Tearing of the Veil sounds like it would have been amazing. I wish we could have seen the Fourth Doctor aged and acting like Scrooge, and the poltergeist ripping K9 apart.

Oh, and they should definitely do a 'Doctor appearing in the real world' narrative on TV at some point. It's an amazing idea that could give the current lead actor a lot to play with.

[mathieuleader]

I wish that the Doctor's prison in Revolution was Shada and have the Doctor have Salyavin as the Doctors cellmate perhaps Salyavin being a previous time lord who bore the title of the Doctor before the Doctor with the Ruth Doctor being an earlier incarnation of Salyavin.

3:50 thought they had accidentally landed in an episode of Fawlty Towers lol
