😁 I’ll admit that I first started watching Doctor Who when it was in re-runs on PBS, when I was around 10 or 11 (1984/85). The first episode that I saw was one of the “Ark in Space” serial parts. That’s still one of my favorite DW serials.
I was hiding behind the sofa when they were first aired. I can't rememeber the episodes but I do remember being scared by the Daleks and the Cybermen ! 😁
The voices of the Daleks scared me the most. Imagine hearing a gang of those things all screeching at you at the same time… “Exterminate!!! Exterminate!!!” 😱
They did a lot with a limited budget on that show. All of the alien costumes were well done for the time. The variety of aliens that the show’s producers were always able to come up was amazing.
