RIP.
Sad news.
I pretty much feel the same as you.
Decent enough episode, especially for a Christmas Day one. The objective of these sort of episodes, or at least one that doesn't feature a regeneration, is to have a stand-alone episode and make it a bit of fun with a vague Christmas theme.
I agree with you about Nicola Coughlan. She was relegated to a side character feel. It'd have been better to see more of her. And I noticed the inconsistency about the whole "living in the right order" thing too. (As well as Pertwee, Peter Capaldi was guarding Missy for 50 years or so too. So The Doctor has experienced stuff like that before.) But a TV show that has been on as long as Doctor Who, there's always going to be stuff like that happen occasionally. You have 60 years worth of show for the writers to remember. I didn't sweat it too much. Though, the whole Doctor living in a hotel for a year thing didn't really seem to go anywhere. It felt a bit like filler in the episode.
The whole "borrowing a TARDIS" thing didn't occur to me whilst watching this episode. But it did when the Bi-Generation happened. In that, I wondered what would happen if Earth was under threat, are we to assume that The 14th Doctor just let 15 deal with it? I get that they wanted to give Tennant's Doctor a happy ending, but it seems out of character. And leaves that question hanging over future episodes.
Overall though, I enjoyed this episode. Felt an enjoyable watch on Christmas Day.
As a cameo in the new series? Yes.
A full time return wouldn't have felt right without Dean Stockwell though.
There is a deleted scene on You Tube, where Marty meets his brother in the alternative 1985. Dave is being thrown out of a bar drunk. In it, Dave explains where their mum is now living.
It's an awkward scene, and not hard to see why it was left out.
I wondered that.
Stands on it's own more than the second, I suppose.
The second feels like a bridge between the first and the third.
Bith great films though.
I enjoyed it.
It used to be on TV when I was young, and I enjoyed it.
Years later, I bought it on DVD and watched it all again.
A couple of years ago, it was rerun on TV again so I caught the odd episode, but not religiously.
It's looked date now, but can be nostalgic if you enjoyed it as a kid.
Very sad news.
I used to love The Time Tunnel.
Yes, I enjoyed the first one the most.
But remember enjoying the second one.
