Day 19 – Favorite Classic Episode – Doctor Who 30 Day Challenge

I answered this question earlier on Day 3, so I’ll give a different answer for this one.

A whole bunch come to mind, but the one I keep “but this one was totally awesome!”, and that is City of Death.   It has the 4th Doctor, Romana II arriving in Paris, France in 1979.  They encounter Inspector Duggan and soon after, the very suspicious Count and Countess Scarlioni.

Some great time traveling within the episode (always a plus in my book), a great almost-meet-historical-figure scene.  The interesting invention by the scientist.  And there is the great cameo by John Cleese and Eleanor Bron.

I’m afraid of saying anything more than that for any of you who might not have seen it.  But it is highly recommended!

Back in 1993, I visited Paris, and of course while I was there I visited the Louvre.  While being amazed by all the different types of artwork that was there (I think this is also where i saw Count and Countess ScarlioniVincent Van Gogh’s work. Either way, that guy used really think paint strokes. Wow!) I went by the Mona Lisa. And the painting is smaller than you would expect it to be. My family and I walked from one side to another, noticing that her eyes always seem to be following us (one of those ingenious tricks that Leonardo played with?).  And I would sometimes laugh to myself, wanting to ask the guide if there is anything written on the back of the painting?  Didn’t get enough nerve to do that.
