(First watched 2007-01-05, -06, -07, -08) As an introduction to the concept it does its job, especially the first episode. However, the caveman struggles that dominate the last three are a bit blah. The Doctor sure was a much more grumpy and truly inhuman man here than the character he's evolved into by 2006. Knowing quite little detail about the early days of the series, I was a bit surprised to see the two school teachers dragged into the whole mess; I guess I'm most used to the "Doctor + female companion" group. As a casting note, it seemed pretty obvious that the "15 year old" really wasn't. By IMDB's reckoning [[Carole Ann Ford|she]] was 23 at the time. | (First watched 2007-01-05, -06, -07, -08) As an introduction to the concept it does its job, especially the first episode.

(First watched 2007-01-10, -11, -12, -13, -15, -15, -16) In a way, the early part of this series reminds me of Sliders. They got lost on their first trip, and then without the proper information and equipment bungle on to the next stop, solving problems so they can survive along the way. The Doctor really is quite a selfish grump. It's interesting to see how he's really a bit of an adversary to the teachers, though they're forced to rely on each other for continued survival and transportation. With the benefit of... foresight of the 2005 version of the Daleks which made them seem formidable even if goofy-looking, the original 60s goofy-looking ones gain a retroactive feel of danger. | (First watched 2007-01-10, -11, -12, -13, -15, -15, -16) In a way, the early part of this series reminds me of Sliders.
