threemonkeysDamn, I think I may have punctured a pretension. I have been telling myself that I have seen all of Doctor Who more or less in sequence and in the correct era. Which means that I have seen all the lost episodes. However it was a long time ago and my memories are very fragmentary, so I cannot relate many details.
Realistically I know that it wasn't likely that I had seen every episode. I know I must have missed episodes from time to time. My parents weren't exactly sympathetic to my contention that watching it was the most important thing in the universe.
Nevertheless, I have been telling myself that I hadn't missed much. I have been acquiring old shows sporadically and up until today I had recognised them all. Seeing them, prompted old memories to surface. But not today. I have been watching The Chase - a second season story. That's Hartnell's Doctor for you young'uns. But I don't recognise any of it. No memory triggers at all.
Sigh. Deep down, I probably knew that there were whole stories I'd missed, but I cannot fool myself any longer. Punctured.
