The War Machines - Episode 1

This one's got a great UNIT feel to it, with the Doctor in present-day London. Unique to see him strolling the streets... and wearing the same hat he wore in his very first episode! Speaking of first episodes, this appears to be the first story (as far as I can recall) with specially-made opening titles, with "The War Machines Episode 1" appearing in computer-ish font against a white background. Neat. Also, the first appearance of new companions Polly and Ben. I've always liked these two, they have a great repartee with each other. And Polly is the most beautiful companion we've seen yet! Did you know I met Anneke Wills last November? Oh, yes, and she is just as beautiful today as she was nearly 37 years ago. Got a chuckle out of seeing "and WOTAN" listed in the end credits. And of course this episode has the famous "Doctor Who is required!" line, which has annoyed purists insisting that Who is not the Doctor's last name ever since. I don't like it either, I don't think it's his name. But WOTAN said it, so we just have to get past it and ignore it as best we can. So say us purists. :-)
