Description Doctor Who: The Mind Robber

I did this just for fun. One of my favorite episodes, favorite Doctors and favorite companions.

I met Mr. Troughton in 1986. I gave him a drawing I had done of him and Wendy Padbury. He said, "--it was quite good, as he received a number of such things over the years and that I should certainly continue with art."

I did end up becoming a professional artist. After all, who am I to ignore advice from The Doctor?

I did. He was really wonderful. Very interested in art. He was an artist himself.

Zoe's catsuit has to be the hottest thing worn by a Doctor Who companion. And there's the sexiest scene in Doctor Who! Great piece of artwork! The Second Doctor looks so like him!

Because of the mystical, childlike surreality, or because of Zoe's sparkly bum?

I had to include that. That was probably one of the first times I went, 'This is a children's show right?'

I watched this episode recently. I've never been a fan of old films because the effects are not that good, but I made an exception with Doctor Who. I'm still trying to find all the old episodes so I can watch them!

I did. He was a very sweet man. Very happy to be a part of all the fandom. He was genuine and sincere. I had a video of meeting him for years but I lost it somewhere along the line

Why does Troughton's videos always seems to vanish?
Well, You sure make me envious to have been able meeting the man .

The surreal masterpiece of Doctor Who! The Mind Robber is also one of my favourites. The first episode in particular is creepy as hell, especially when Jamie and Zoe come across those whited-out duplicates of themselves in the void. Brr!

wonderful work.
amazing how many memorable story elements you've got in there!
I especially like how you used the "master's" control room architecture as a compositional element.
well done.
-and of course, Ze Karkus!
