There’s a bit in this for most Brits of a certain age, maybe Americans too, later on. Downunder too.

My interest in this short YT is twofold … first is to place it on the timeline and at the same time, give away my own age to a point … the other is that I missed Susan altogether, really only coming in during Zoe but even then, not really, certainly I became Who-sentient during Jon Pertwee’s time and my most sentient Who moment was Tom Baker in Pyramids of Mars.
