apparently they did The Caves of Steel in 1964, adapted by Terry Nation, with Peter Cushing as Baley and John Carson, who I don't know (although looking at his credits I have almost certainly seen him) as Daneel. Obviously all traces of this are now lost.
DAMMIT BBC.
I don't know from John Carson, but Cushing should have been great. This looks to be all the footage that survives and there's just a fragment of him in it. I get that it was cost-saving to recycle tapes, but archivally, historically, it was dumber than two bags of rocks!
My Doctor will always be Peter Davison, although the last time I rewatched any significant chunk of his run I was struck by how relentlessly depressing a lot of it was, even while he himself remains (mostly) cheerful.
That sounds like a really disorienting experience.
I drifted away from the reboot rather rapidly; I do feel it lost something important moving to mostly hour-long episodes rather than shorter multiparters.
I've watched new Who in a very scattershot fashion, but there were multiple episodes during the Eleventh Doctor's run that I felt should have been at least two-parters. As one-shots, they had no room to breathe.
