I apologise for the significant delay in my posting part 2 of my visit to Wales. Here is Part 1. I have no excuse other than I always dread doing posts where I have a mound of photo to choose from!
When we reached the top of the stairs on floor 2 of the exhibition, my first glimpse was of the Face of Boe. It is said that this is the most ancient of beings at the end of the Earth! He is wise and tells you 'You are not alone!'
The Sycorax took on the 10th Doctor on Christmas day and fell to his death on Earth!
The sweetest of Aliens- the Hath! These ones I really liked when I saw them in Doctor Who! Such sweet and kind beings. So misunderstood! I'd like these to return!
This balloon was made out of the skin of humans. Urgh!
Here's a 1980's Cyberman. The Cyberman and their lack of expression always creeps me out!
Oops! These shouldn't have ended up here! Here are the costumes of the Torchwood team! I saw a leather jacket just like that one on the left in a charity shop and contemplated it for Cosplay but decided I didn't like it enough to warrant it finding a place in my wardrobe!
Ot ow! Here's a line up of scary daleks!
These aliens featured in Colin Baker's final serial, A trial of a Timelord in The Terror of the Vervoids. These were a completely new race who the Doctor unfortunately committed genocide on. They were seriously nasty!
Here's a sleeping Silurian! These were Homo reptilia- the lifeform who ruled the Earth before Homo Sapiens...according to Doctor Who anyway!
I think this is a Mandril and I confess to not having seen the episode these appeared in!
These are the Cheetah People and they were the final enemies Sylvester McCoy faced as the Doctor before the programme was cancelled and faced a 15 year hiatus!
This is the Melkur which actually turned out to be The Master's TARDIS in disguise!!! He featured in Tom Baker's penultimate tale, The Keeper of Traken.
The original Sontarans from Jon Pertwee's era from er- The Sontarans!
You can see two versions of Davros, creator of the Daleks here. On the right is his original incarnation from Genesis of the Daleks, from Tom Baker's era and then his Sylvester McCoy version from Remembrance of the Daleks. His appearance was a big shock in this episode in which two rival factions of the Daleks sought to find The Hand of Omega, a weapon which turned out to be a trick to destroy the Daleks by the Timelords.
Here we have an original Ice-Warrior from Patrick Troughton's era. To the right we have K2, a robot created by Professor Kettlewell for Tom Baker's debut story, The Robot, designed to help humans but it went wrong!
An original Zygon here. These Shape shifters featured in the 50th Anniversary adventure!
Finally, we have here a Tetrap from Sylvester McCoy's debut story, Time and the Rani. This episode is the first Doctor Who adventure I remember fully as a child. I do remember part of A trial of a Timelord, but only briefly.
Do you remember any of these?
Hopefully I will be able to share some costumes from the show in my next post!

Oh my, I do not remember a single episode of Dr Who. I remember the multi color scarf and the Tardis and that's about it. I'm just too darn old I guess but my girls loved watching Dr Who. No reflections on your taste however.

I always feel put off writing posts about days when I've taken loads of photos - it's hard to know where to start and what to delete!
ReplyDeleteThe Doctor Who experience looks brilliant and well worth a visit. I've enjoyed seeing your photos!
Sorry to hear the update too - what a pain, hope you're still looking out for others in case!
I must confess that no, I don't remember many of them, dear Kezzie, and well, I am such a scared person :) Anyway, so you went to Wales, was Tenby included? I have too check it out :) Thank you so much for the sweet comment, I should have written before, but I am under pressure with a uni project, and must learn how to manage time... you can teach me that, because you do so many things together! Returning little by little to blog activities today :) It feels quite nice :) Hope you have a great week, dear Kezzie!

I absolutely loved this post Kezzie! I love seeing the difference as well between the earlier incarnations of some of the different creatures like the Ice Warriors, which were just in this series a couple of episodes back - so cool! Love all the attention to detail. I just tagged in another of those tag posts but there's no pressure, but the link to that post is here if you want to do do it: http://bit.ly/2tdlDEe Hope you're well lovely! - Tasha
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, so cool! I've seen most of those stories - the monsters seem bigger on TV. The Vervoid is so weird looking. I think the Cybermen are a bit scarier than Daleks because humans actually are replacing parts of themselves with metal - the first step.
ReplyDeleteDid you watch Torchwood? It was good in a totally different way.
Do you believe that the Face of Boe is Captain Jack?
I WANT TO VISIT. I would lose it if I went here, haha!

A lot of these I'm not familiar with as I'm new to Who. I only really started paying attention during DT's reign.
ReplyDeleteI bow to your knowledge!

I recognise a few, the first one made me jump when it appeared on my screen! It looks like such a good exhibition.
ReplyDeleteOh they've changed the displays since I went! I'm jealous you got to see the Hath!
ReplyDeleteNice to see the Face of Boe, isn't he lovely! x
