Classic Who questions

[philstar22]

At exactly what point in the show did the doctor become the hero saving the Earth/universe/universes? I know it started out as an educational show, but I'm not sure at what point that changed.

Also, during which Doctor's seasons could the TARDIS still change shape and when did it stop being able to?

Also, which companions of Classic Who besides Sarah Jane are the most popular? Which, besides Adric, are the most hated?

It changed to the Doctor as a sort of crusader before the end of Billy Hartnell's run, I know that. He was proactive about tracking down evil and confronting it in The War Machines, so it has been there for a good long while.

Apart from the odd occasion the TARDIS has always been police box. It got stuck sometime during that stay in Foreman's Yard during An Unearthly Child. Its varied as to the model of police box a few times, there have been a lot of them in UK policing as every police service had their own design (Glasgow's were pink, for example).

The most popular companion has always varied, I believe Jamie is currently the hot property but every single one of them including Adric (and, yes, even Mel) have enjoyed that status at one point or another. Least favorite is probably Turlough since nobody even remembers he exists.

1) honestly probably the Daleks

2) I don't remember! I remember he fixed it at some point (probably during the Third Doctor era?) and then it just didn't get mentioned ever

3) Ace, Leela, Jamie. Also the Brigadier if you consider him a companion.

The Brig is my personal favourite character, including all umpteen Doctors. I don't know whether to call him a companion, boss or friend. He's simply the Brig, and his like will not be seen again.

I sort of agree with anon who said it changed with "The Daleks," ie, the second serial ever. They sort of figured out as they went along it was more interesting to make up adventures and aliens and that sort of thing than be constrained by history. The first season sort of alternates SF stories and historical stories, 4 of each. The second season has only 2 historicals of 9.

"The Highlanders" (in season 4, 1966) would be the last purely historical story until "Black Orchid" (in season 19, 1982). Other stories might have a historical setting, but they also had to have aliens or something meddling with time, not just the Doctor and co. walking into a situation.

A lot of people dislike early companions without ever really have seen much of them. Victoria and Vicky in particular, and sometimes even Polly. Of companions who aren't mostly burninated, Mel gets a lot of hate for being shrill and bossy. Screams a lot. When I got into Classic Who in 2008, Peri was undergoing a bit of a perception shift from being seen as annoying to really being thought of cool. Same thing a little with Tegan, but a lot of people liked Tegan overall.

(I still like Romana I better than Romana II because I think Mary Tamm's the better actress, but they wanted to go a different direction with the character and...)
