My wife and I managed to catch up on our viewing of classic Who so that we saw “Tenth Planet” just before “Twice Upon a Time”! The episode was terrific.
I’m thinking of an edit for “Twice.” I thought it was terrific just as it was, but I would make a few changes to try to make it feel like an actual Hartnell storyline:
1) Make the whole story black-and-white, and in two half-hour installments.
2) Replace the opening titles with Hartnell’s.
3) Cut out any double-entendres which, while not unusual for modern prime-time TV, wouldn’t have been part of a 1960s children’s television show.
4) Cut down on the controversial lines that made the First Doctor come off as more sexist than he actually was.
Mind you, it’s not a criticism to say that this felt like a Twelfth Doctor story; it was a Twelfth Doctor story and should feel like that. But it is fun to play a game of “What if…?” For that matter, I’d make the special effects dodgier if I knew how!
Anyway, it was a fun and entertaining story, and a great way to cap off Capaldi's era!
