I didn't write out a commentary when I watched this one (which was probably a good thing because it is looong) but I think it's probably my favourite One episode. It even beats out the Romanas -- and that had Ian in a briefs exposing toga!
Why is The Chase so awesome?
- Ian/Barbara shippiness reaches its maximum
- William Hartnell drops the f-bomb at Vicki in the first episode (or it sounds like he does anyway)
- Ian dancing
- Barbara accidentally hitting Ian over the head and knocking him out at least three times (probably more)
- Frankenstein and Count Dracula attack a platoon of Daleks
- Really fake looking bats
- the Daleks and the Doctor do New York and no dodgy 'Sec's in the City!' type jokes are made... and no face, um... you know.
- the American accents in New York are pretty damn convincing though xD
- so is the top of the Empire State Building xD
- Daleks get to walk the plank on the Marie Celeste
- The Doctor's robot double is so obviously a different actor
- Steven Taylor is kind of pretty (even with his scruffy beard... and even when he was putting on the outrageous accent in New York... but he was a different character then, so we forgive him)
- Steven Taylor/HiFi the panda is so canon
- Ian and Barbara get a happy ending of adorableness at the end
so, does anyone else love this episode with a burning and unreasonable love? Quite possibly if I ever saw it a second time I'd be bored silly because it's very long and I think you have to be in a certain mood, but still - good fun!
