I was pretty busy last week, so there was no Friday Night Who UK update - because of that, you're getting this week's update very early. In fact, we only finished watching the Krotons about an hour ago. So, to recap; two weeks ago me and Mark watched the Rescue with William Hartnell, which was fun and had a pretty neat twist (neat by 60s standards, mind you). This week, we saw the Krotons, with Patrick Troughton. It got off to a shaky start (Mark forgot it was Friday and wasn't at home), so we ended up starting a half hour late. Fortunately, after that there were no major problems and we had a great time - our friend Luke, who can be found on twitter at @LukeMurphy96, even joined in. It's an average story, but the Doctor, Zoe and Jamie make it worth watching. The twitter discussion was also especially good fun this week - we had a great talk about esteemed Classic Who writer Robert Holmes, and Luke's comment of 'Why do the Krotons sound like they're from Yorkshire?' was absolutely hilarious.
But
anyway, the update. Obviously you can usually find out what we're watching via the Friday Night Who UK page on this blog, or via my twitter stream, but I like to let you know through blog posts as well. Next Friday we will be watching a Third Doctor story, the Daemons. The story is particularly popular within the Doctor Who fandom, and is the origin of the Brigadier's famous quote, 'Five Rounds Rapid!' so it should be good fun. We will be airing at the usual time of 7pm, or 1pm across the pond (assuming Mark remembers what day it is next time) and of course we will be discussing the episode on twitter as usual. If you want to join us please use the #FridayNightWhoUK and #TheDaemons hashtags, and follow me @KingOrokos and Mark @Marcus_Joan.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you can join us for Friday Night Who UK next week! Also, a side note: Doctor Who is back on TV tommorow! WOOH!
