  &quot;impossible in this temperature. Besides, it&apos;s too warm!&quot; I could easily hear that dialogue coming out of Tom Baker&apos;s mouth.

  I loved how Hartnell continually forgot or fluffed his lines.

  I always find it so funny that the 1st Doctor always refers to himself as an &quot;old man&quot; but is really rather young for a Time Lord. Not only that but is the youngest iteration of the character

  I just realized that Hartnell was only in his mid fifties when he played the role of the first doctor; I&apos;d have sworn that he was at least 70, and so wasn&apos;t surprised that his health faded so badly. The second doctor was only 12 years younger than the first, but looks much more like his actual age and therefore way younger than the first. mind blown.

  If I had a TARDIS, I would go back to find the missing episodes

  &quot;One day I shall come back. Yes I shall come back. Until then there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs, and prove to me that I&apos;m not mistaken in mine.&quot; --The Dalek Invasion of Earth.

  A group of fans called &apos;Loose Cannon&apos; recreated many of the missing episodes using the fan-recorded audio and the telesnaps. Using the promotional photographs they colourised &apos;Marco Polo&apos;. These give a real feel for the original episodes, and are well worth tracking down. Many episodes have now been animated.

  i love that the TARDIS &quot;taking off&quot; hasn&apos;t changed at all - and that it had such a great sound to begin with &nbsp;:D

  The early motivations of the Doctor were actually worked into the show, if one considers character continuity: &nbsp;the selfish &apos;original&apos; Doctor was the one who was merely bored with life on Gallifrey. He was still a &apos;child&apos;, so to speak. &nbsp;His reasons for stealing a TARDIS had nothing to do with benevolence and merely to entertain himself. &nbsp;And keep in mind he had grown up among the generally arrogant culture of Time Lords, which would clearly have initially jaded him to the value of more &apos;primitive&apos; cultures.<br><br>It was his interactions with the first companions which changed him. &nbsp;It was then that he chose to become the hero he later evolved into.
