And he could always team up with those two Victorian Gentlemen again.

[Edit]...Oh and Teegan all being well with her.

I haven't noticed anything about the spin-off featured in this free magazine. Was it no good?

JN-T: The Life and Scandalous Times of John Nathan-Turner (2013)
Biography by Richard Marson � A frank new book about ****** *** is full of shocking claims. JN-T: The Life and Scandalous Times of John Nathan-Turner by Richard Marson ? review | Books | The Guardian (http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2013/mar/22/jnt-scandalous-doctor-who-review)

I enjoyed them although others where not so enthralled, each to their own

What is/was/are Sylvester McCoy's nickname(s)?

well the real name is amazingly enough John Smith

And Adric if Matthew Waterboat wishes to do them... But do we want him to?

What wasd amazing is that Waterboat and Beaker seemed to get along very welll

Oh and I forgot about Nyysa.....Yes Iam spelling the names wrong on purpose.

Oh and I forgot about Nyysa.....Yes Iam spelling the names wrong on purpose.

But Trakengirl and OzHostess really don't have spaces to shoehorn audios...... waterboat does.. now i would love to see an IRISBEAKER season
or perhaps a Bent Sgt?

Yeah, but there's not really the 'room' to place TB having more adventures with Tegan or Nyssa, is there?

I like the idea, but they only meet at the end of his era in stories that run directly into each other before he becomes PD.


4th and Iris could be fun!

But Trakengirl and OzHostess really don't have spaces to shoehorn audios...... waterboat does.. now i would love to see an IRISBEAKER season
or perhaps a Bent Sgt?

Don't have space to shoehorn when you have a time traveling police box?

What wasd amazing is that Waterboat and Beaker seemed to get along very welll

Waterboat was more in awe of Beaker so didn't have as much of a problem. Though Waterboat and Ward however is a different kettle of fish indeed

Oh and I forgot about Nyysa.....Yes Iam spelling the names wrong on purpose.

The Waterboat spelling for me is a running gag I have about his surname and spelling it wrong (Waterboat, Watertank, Waterpolo, ect)..... I also refer to the 9th Medic as Ecclescake for similar reasons (not a fan of Ecclescake due to his departure and the things surrounding it - Waterboat I have warmed to but still hate Adric with a passion)

And Adric if Matthew Waterboat wishes to do them... But do we want him to?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Anyway his voice has changed to much to inflict more Addrik on us.

Don't have space to shoehorn when you have a time traveling police box?

Normally I'd agree with you, but very difficult to find space in the narrative of Keeper/Logopolis/Castrovalva.

i'm working my may through the emiT retnuH audios, anyone have number 7?

i need those, i'd love to give'em a listen (and a read) but i can't, for the life of me, find ANY of them.

Maybe a new companion could be created for the 4th Medic between The Very Dangerous Hired Killer and The Mugg of Malice.

Normally I'd agree with you, but very difficult to find space in the narrative of Keeper/Logopolis/Castrovalva.

I'll be honest and say I've never read them, they are on my HD just never got round to them.


OK I give up just robotic dogs it is then.

Maybe a new companion could be created for the 4th Medic between The Very Dangerous Hired Killer and The Mugg of Malice.

A Talking head of cabbage... oh never mind

Mrs Wibbsey....Sorry just can't give-up that easy.

Mrs Wibbsey....Sorry just can't give-up that easy.

aha the talking head of cabbage

A Talking head of cabbage... oh never mind

or a Time traveling sprout....ohh hold on?!?

Lets call him Barry.

Yeah, that's kind of what I mean. I can't see him working with RII again due to the personal history, and...I mean maybe math-boy, but that's not really very exciting. So they either need to invent a new companion or he goes off on solos for awhile. Pity he didn't come to his senses about LC a few years ago before father time started wielding his scythe so brutally.

Hold on a dog is a mans best companion.

but they somehow managed to squeeze the vet medic, miss brown and the egyptian one on a whole universe of tales in the gap between his last two tales!!! And onscreen she never even changed her clothes.....dirty girl!

however the scarfed one..... who knows what he got up to after he thwarted that assasination on the home planet, before he met up with the savage....
there is as much scope there as there has been with the gaps in old sixies reign.

edit.... also after he dumped the savage on the homeworld before he went looking for that key!

Anything's possible in this universe! ...or that one over there.

I favour the one inbetween lol

Maybe a new companion could be created for the 4th Medic between The Very Dangerous Hired Killer and The Mugg of Malice.

That's when Sharon, companion of the comic strips, happens. ;)

And loads of other adventures too, I'd wager.

Maybe you should volunteer to mediate the first meeting between them! I get the strong impression that Lalla Ward really isn't the forgiving and forgetting type.

Lalla was up for recording Shada with Tom back when BF did it. I don't know whether Tom would be willing to work with her, though. Dawkins' wife seems like she could make a man's blood run cold.

but they somehow managed to squeeze the vet medic, miss brown and the egyptian one on a whole universe of tales in the gap between his last two tales!!! And onscreen she never even changed her clothes.....dirty girl!...

True. But those two don't run directly into each other :)

(Well, as far as I remember, anyway!)


Anway, I thought TB and Lalla had patched up their differences now? Besides, they could still do them with TB recording one day and Lallla the other. No need for them to be in the same studio, is there?

That's true. I think they'd get better performances if the director could give them feedback right there, but they're still in separate booths apparently.

At The Moat they're in Booth's, yeah. Not sure about the place near Tonbridge Wells where TB prefers to record.

What is/was/are Sylvester McCoy's nickname(s)?

depends on whether or not you're talking about his medic, or just the actor I guess.
the actor I've come across being called Sylv, but that's it.

the medic gets all the fun. the most amusing I've found I think is "everyone's favourite party pooper, Dark and Manipulative".

Does anyone have the first or third 50th Anniversary Special books as ePub?

True. But those two don't run directly into each other :)

(Well, as far as I remember, anyway!)


Anway, I thought TB and Lalla had patched up their differences now? Besides, they could still do them with TB recording one day and Lallla the other. No need for them to be in the same studio, is there?

I was also under the impression that they were fine. During one of the podcasts a fan put forth the separate recording idea and the response was along the line of 'that only puts a spotlight on the problem".

well the real name is amazingly enough John Smith

Percy James Patrick Kent-Smith, methoughts...???

Waterboat was more in awe of Beaker so didn't have as much of a problem. Though Waterboat and Ward however is a different kettle of fish indeed

I don't know about any reconciliations, but Lllallla Word has been EXTREMELY snotty in public about Waterboat many times, and never seems to miss the opportunity to have a go at Thom every time she does a DVD commentary (she really comes across as a bit of haughty cow to me, to be honest), so I think the chances of that happening are probably next to nil - unless, as was said above, they maybe recorded all their lines seperately, which is tricky to make as convincing.

I agree with Tomorph, that maybe they could explore a possible gap between The Dedlee Arsassin & Farce of Eeeevil where the Doctor is initially companionless, and create a new (or series of new) companions for him??

An audio version of Sharon would be cool - don't forget they did Max Eddison!

@burneggroll - now I'm picturing Sutekh & co as companions - Hah! "Oh, for heaven's sake, Davros, you're always spraining your ankle..." :P

Lets call him Barry.

Oooooh - the 4th Medic and Elvis!! By Robert Rankin!! Nice!!!!

I personally like to call the 7th Medic "The Chessmaster", but what with the recent events of Monthly #164, that may change.

so... in the aftermath of the recent Beeb Nev Her wear adaptation I've doing some idle googling...:

Pilgrim - anyone heard any of it? is it any good? is it worth a listen?

This forum is very entertaining. Love all the alternate names and people's thoughts. Thank you.

Well worth the listen...I would suggest in order of release.
I have season 1-4 if you like.

I have just come across this on Doctor Who News (http://www.doctorwhonews.net). Posted Monday, 25 March, 2013

"A special three minute minisode has been made available online as part of the Series Seven Part Two listings via Amazon and iTunes. The video is currently free, but only available to watch in North America.

Demon's Run: Two Days Later
In the aftermath of the battle of Demons Run, a battle-scarred Strax lies dying on the floor - or has he just fainted...
Featuring Dan Starkey as Strax, Neve McIntosh as Vastra, and Catrin Stewart as Jenny."

Would anyone in the US be able to provide it for us in the UK - it is free just both Amazon and iTunes have restricted it geographically for some reason....

Well bugger me! Just listened to The Mahogany Murders and never realised that Christopher Benjamin (Henry Jago) played Felicity Kendall's husband in The Unicorn and the Wasp.

Thanks. Never thought to look on YouTube!

Just had a fleeting thought after watching The battle of Demons Run - Two Days Later and thinking back to the Christmas Special... Are they positioning those three for a spin off series - shades of the Sarah Jane Adventures set in Victorian England?

Well bugger me! Just listened to The Mahogany Murders and never realised that Christopher Benjamin (Henry Jago) played Felicity Kendall's husband in The Unicorn and the Wasp.
REALLY?! I knew his voice sounded familiar when I was listening to the multi-colored Medic's travels with the Victorian Gentlemen! Awesome! According to the TARDIS Wiki, he also voiced a character in the 8th Medic audio "Grand Theft Cosmos".

but they somehow managed to squeeze the vet medic, miss brown and the egyptian one on a whole universe of tales in the gap between his last two tales!!! And onscreen she never even changed her clothes.....dirty girl!

however the scarfed one..... who knows what he got up to after he thwarted that assasination on the home planet, before he met up with the savage....
there is as much scope there as there has been with the gaps in old sixies reign.

edit.... also after he dumped the savage on the homeworld before he went looking for that key! actually we really dont know how long Waterboat and Scarfy had between UnionKeeper and Gollypollups there is just that one line that he muses that "ever since we left The Union" who know there could have been a whole series in there..

and

UNIT Project update: We've completed our script for episode one of our first story! We're working like mad to get to get it recorded and the script for episode two is half complete!

Only scanned through it so far but seems OK, although they do sound a bit like they're on helium or something.

... IDUK ...

Much under-rated classic, this. Shame that, AFAIK, it's never been repeated or had a decent CD release. Had the tape many years ago, but that's long since worn away and snapped.

I'll listen to it at work tomorrow.

They already have an audio adventure 'Satan in mist'. With SJA, canine and Torch finished there is certainly a gap that could be filled.

Ooo.. Yeeah. I see what you mean. Whoever did the tape transfer must have had a really bad tape.

They already have an audio adventure 'Satan in mist'. With SJA, canine and Torch finished there is certainly a gap that could be filled.

I honestly can't really put my finger on it, but there's something that just screams "trying too hard" with the idea of a spin-off from 2DaysLater.

There's nothing wrong with the characters, and nothing wrong with the idea, but it's somehow just all so - I dunno - unsubtle? Something like "Hay! Anything RTD can do, I can do better!"

I really dunno. Just an odd gut feeling.

6 episodes of Doctor Who a year with no supporting ancillary projects?

Doctor Who's Kung-fu is weak.

I keep forgetting DW is back on Saturday. I think I am more excited about the audio releases than I am about the series these days.

Just had a fleeting thought after watching The battle of Demons Run - Two Days Later and thinking back to the Christmas Special... Are they positioning those three for a spin off series - shades of the Sarah Jane Adventures set in Victorian England?

If they do, I hope they make it for after the watershed. From what i've seen of the three characters so far, I like them and it would fill a gap with the seeming death of Torchwood and the end of the SJA.

Doctor Who's Kung-fu is weak.

Doctor-Fu?

And the suggested LizardmaidPotato spinnoff......
you can see SM wants to....

it does seem odd that RtD got 13 eps+xmas each year, AND CapnjackinCardiff AND ReporterandKidsinIslilington all up and running, but SM can only manage 1/2 a series and SheerLuck.
Ok I'm no writer or producer and cant b*tch about productivity, but for a job he has wanted for so long, one might think he would commit

To be fair, let's not forget that RTD wasn't head writer on the spin-offs (at least not for TWs 1st 2 series, anyway), whereas Moff's in charge of both his shows and has to juggle with commitments, availability, etc.

I think we'll be seeing more of the Victorian Threesome in one form or another (occasional telemovies maybe?) in the future, once all the 50th hoo-hah's behinds us all...

It would be good if we do see more of the Victorian Threesome and personally I'd like a more adult version after 9pm, a sort of Torchwood meets Ripper Street styled show (not that it is going to happen). Best we can hope for is a SJA equivalent with slapstick humour with the odd double entendre/joke for adults

Well worth the listen...I would suggest in order of release.
I have season 1-4 if you like.

thanks for the offer but I've already found it :)

Not so sure, Torchwood obviously had enough viewing figures to justify moving it from BBC2 to BBC1 over here so there is a market for a more grown up Who out there.

And setting it in Victorian England could open the doors to a guest appearance from Jack.

Again ... can't see it happening, but we can all wish.

Umm the less Captain Jack the better if it is anything like the last Torchwood disaster. They have all the costume and sets from Ripper Street which might offset the costs but I agree it is a bit of wishful thinking. Fingers crossed the re-boots of The Tomorrow People, Space 1999 and Blake's 7 aren't car crash TV

Wooa!!!

Where'd you get the Space 1999 reboot from?

Not to mention Blakes 7. Last I heard, that had fallen through.

I still say that the last Torchwood was crap because it was written mainly by american writers to appeal to an american audience, the series was too long, and there was no real explanation as to wtf actually happened.

The whole thing with Jack's blood was a travesty and it seemed that the writers just hadn't done any research.

All in all - good story, but poor execution :(

The Space 1999 stuff has gone a bit quiet but here are some links

It was at least two episodes too long and completely lacked any research as to why Jack got as he was courtesy of Rose. It totally lacked any of the feel, ethos and character of Children of Earth and could equally have been done as a (not very good) two part X-Files episode.

Doctor-Fu?

Tae Kwon Doc!

As regards to Blake's 7 the last I heard is that pilot script is nearly finished / undergoing final revisions and will be presented to SyFy. Decision maybe around May time as to whether it will be commissioned or not. so I doubt there would be a pilot aired until 2014 at the earliest

Ta!

But I think I'll place those in the drawer of "things I'll believe when I see it" along with the Blakes7 reboot.

As for Torchwoods last outing - it was 50% too long. Children Of Earth got it just right in terms of story length, MD could have been done in half its run time.

Yeah, the B7 reboot has been in the pipeline for about a decade or so. Again, I have reservations about the yanks trying to remake a piece of classic british tv.

CoE got it dead right in run time, and showing it over 5 consequetive nights helped keep the pace right. I'm starting to wonder exactly how much say RTD actually had in the making of MD.

Well if he had any he should be hanging his head in shame. Though from the feel and pacing of it i would say that he was overruled a lot of time by the people with the money. It was a completely different style and pacing to the CoE

Not to mention Blakes 7. Last I heard, that had fallen through.

I still say that the last Torchwood was crap because it was written mainly by american writers to appeal to an american audience, the series was too long, and there was no real explanation as to wtf actually happened.

The whole thing with Jack's blood was a travesty and it seemed that the writers just hadn't done any research.

All in all - good story, but poor execution :(

Torchwood is one of my favourite series out there, I watch it a hell of a lot. I just wish I could be bothered to edit Miracle Day down to about 7 episodes and get rid of some of the useless parts.

The American writers part is true, it really suffered from it.

That's kind of cool, I didn't know it ever came up again. Where does this happen?

Umm the less Captain Jack the better if it is anything like the last Torchwood disaster. They have all the costume and sets from Ripper Street which might offset the costs but I agree it is a bit of wishful thinking. Fingers crossed the re-boots of The Tomorrow People, Space 1999 and Blake's 7 aren't car crash TV

In at least two of those cases, the ORIGINALS were car-crash TV (but in a fun way, at least...). :)

Yeah, the B7 reboot has been in the pipeline for about a decade or so. Again, I have reservations about the yanks trying to remake a piece of classic british tv.

CoE got it dead right in run time, and showing it over 5 consequetive nights helped keep the pace right. I'm starting to wonder exactly how much say RTD actually had in the making of MD.

Well, he wrote the first ep and co-wrote the last, and came up with the story, so he's at least partly responsible. He probably had no say in how long the series was (I seem to recall him saying that it should've been shorter. The whole experience seems to have put him off TW for the time being, though.

Of the other writers, only Jane Espenson aquitted herself well, and wrote a couple of the best episodes such as "Categories of Life". She's the only one who seemed to 'get it'.

If you ask me, they should never have killed off Ianto... :(

The current BBC marketing/budgeting plan is to develop The Big Blockbuster for Thursday Night Ratings. They cut budgets for everything but that. They want the #1-rated show,and don't care about shows that only appeal to small groups. They are acrificing quality for audience share. Shame, dirty rotten greedy, piss on quality, and going to hell in a hand basket... oops, I lost my self there.

I hate this editor. Did you notice it now has buttons that don't work? Let it go! Those buttons would make editing much easier!!!

The American writers part is true, it really suffered from it.

All this talking of TW makes me wonder when I last watched it properly. Probably when MD aired, so may well be time to give the first two proper series another watch. My abiding memories are some good stories, but a feeling of "Arg! Stop trying so hard!" on the 'oooo! Aren't we being all adult' side.

I remember that proposed S1999 reboot. Went very quiet, but if it happened, it might be one of those surprises, like BSG was a few years ago. If you could fix a couple of the glaring scientific and logistical boo-boos, the format of S199 had much to offer. (As Nobber mentioned, why indeed did they store nuclear waste on the moon when incinerating it in the sun would be so much cleaner?) Nonetheless, I loved that original first season. If you take everything that happens to the Alphans as a sort of metaphor - a myth - and just enjoy their journey through a hostile universe and the doomy atmosphere of the show, it was extremely enjoyable.

After watching that first episode of S1999 earlier, what I'd love to see as a 'reboot' would be something, er, more, er, realistic.

The moon knocked out of orbit, but such that it took it's own orbit independent of Earth. You'ld then have so many different stories that could be examined; what happens to the Alphan's, what happens to Earth, those that plan to 'recapture' the Moon into our orbit, those that would rather it stay independent ('cos, you know, despite the havoc it'd create here you just know some nut-job would find a reason for it to stay out of orbit.)

A definitely dark series and, I believe, not one with a particularly happy ending.

That's kind of cool, I didn't know it ever came up again. Where does this happen?

the last time i recall was at the beginning of "The Eight Doctors" it could have occurred later in the EDA books as well, but "The Eight Doctors" is the only one that i recall.

BBCA had it running today - I stopped watching after Exit Wounds though - can't STAND COE or MD - Davies royally screwed up the whole franchise with those. Too much ego not enough talent. Grandiose plans that fall flat on their face.

Thinking about it. I can understand why people could hit a bit of a speed-bump with CoE/MD. Even though S1 and 2 were aimed at an adult audience, they still had some of the sensibilities and recognisability of the Who universe and were, reactively speaking, more 'light-hearted'. Or, to put it another way, if SJS had suddenly appeared as a Special Guest Star she'd not have felt out of place.

But with CoE they seemed to throw off the Who universe - at least I couldn't see SJS fitting in - and with MD that additional 'something' the additional writers (plus over long story, perhaps?) threw in took the franchise even further from its roots. Certainly some would agree, too far from it's roots.

As pure drama, CoE is still my favourite, but, yeah, definitely time to give the whole lot another viewing.

the last time i recall was at the beginning of "The Eight Doctors" it could have occurred later in the EDA books as well, but "The Eight Doctors" is the only one that i recall.

a fair amount in the EDA books. pretty much never termed as such (for rather good reasons), but very clear indications that this is what he's using. an example:

"He was managing to avoid the monster's attempts to get hold of him by - I couldn't tell exactly if it was a formal martial art - seeming to be in two places at once and having far more arms and legs than you might expect."

All this talking of TW makes me wonder when I last watched it properly. Probably when MD aired, so may well be time to give the first two proper series another watch. My abiding memories are some good stories, but a feeling of "Arg! Stop trying so hard!" on the 'oooo! Aren't we being all adult' side.

Spot on for series one (hello Cyberwoman, sex monster, et al), but to me series two gelled much better, got the tone closer to right and had a superb final batch of episodes.

If you don't like RTD, just say so, but it was the BBC that screwed up Torchwood. We only can thank him for creating it and (re-)writing and producing the first 3 years (not enough talent???). MD wasn't RTD doing his best, that was trying to keep TW going. They demanded him to do be involved and with US-scriptwriters, or no TW series 4 at all.

If that's the case, I think I would've preferred TW to have died peacefully in it's sleep.

I don't think Davies screwed up TW with COE. It was a very powerful story and given it's subject matter, I think it had to be handled differently.

I think it was hoping for the best... but yes you are right (but the same for the last DW-specials wich he did because the BBC wanted him to do it) After reading 'The writer's tale' and 'The writer's tale - The final chapter' I understood more of the who and why of DW, TW and SJA stories (and on some points a shocking insight...).

And just think Sarah Jane and Mister Smith and K-9 wouldn't have been there front and center because Clyde,Rani, Maria and Luke would have been affected by the 456.....and the fact that after what happened with the 456 [ where was The Doctor?] even if he was delayed this had to be something he had heard about... or that they had disposed of him before it happened.. the same with Miracle Day....

Many, many thanks, you're a true gentleman/gentlelady/gentleunspecifiedgender (delete as appropriate).
I suppose you don't have the previous issues, though ?

If you don't like RTD, just say so, but it was the BBC that screwed up Torchwood. We only can thank him for creating it and (re-)writing and producing the first 3 years (not enough talent???). MD wasn't RTD doing his best, that was trying to keep TW going. They demanded him to do be involved and with US-scriptwriters, or no TW series 4 at all.
Not only that, but the BBC was also not giving RTD and the others the money they wanted to do MD. So that's why Starz had to pony up most of the cash to help fund it, which in turn caused it to be aired on Starz here in the States first. From what I saw, that caused quite an uproar among some of the British fans, with some of them even going so far as to say "It was our show first, so it should air here first!". I responded back with "Hey! It took us Yanks til the end of David Tennant's tenure in 'Doctor Who' to finally get the show when you guys do! We sometimes had to wait several months to play catch-up if we weren't torrenting it! Be damn grateful it's even airing over there at all!". Thankfully, some of them were nice enough to concede my point.

After watching that first episode of S1999 earlier, what I'd love to see as a 'reboot' would be something, er, more, er, realistic.

The moon knocked out of orbit, but such that it took it's own orbit independent of Earth.

A definitely dark series and, I believe, not one with a particularly happy ending.

Yeah, the science is terrible. Even as a little kid I knew that, although I was more forgiving then. Did you ever read Earthfall by EC Tubb? It was a reworking of the S1999 mythos. The Moon isn't blown out of Earth orbit at all - the massive nuclear explosion tears a rift in space and the moon's orbital path takes it right into this wormhole and then they're adrift, effectively a rogue planet in a new dimension. IIRC, it suggests that the physics of this place are slightly different, there are space warps, smaller distances of interstellar space, that kind of thing. It's like Tubb was repairing all the ludicrous science, or at least making it viable for storytelling purposes. It got a bit fantastical, but he concentrated on the survival aspect of the story and I remember finding it a very compelling read when I read it again as an adult. But even that (alas) was many years ago now.

Point being, I s'pose, that there would be a way of making it work. What was really good about it was the desperation of their situation and how they'd encounter things that they just had no comprehension of. Martin Landau played the commander as a man under real pressure. Some of the alien threats really were alien, like that weird blue light in one episode that possesses Ian McShane and swallows the life energy of his unwitting victims. There were real attempts at portraying cultural differences; even the humanoid aliens were removed, super-evolved or with strange, unguessable agendas; they weren't just Californians with extra bumps on their heads. That one with Peter Bowles as the alien war criminal was terrifying! And the show had a fair measure of grand guignol horror too, some really shocking stuff that made my blood run cold as a kid. (I'm talking first season here - it all went to hell in a handbasket in season 2 anyway! Even though Maya was cool.) Years later, I met Johnny Byrne who was the first season's script editor and told him how much I'd enjoyed it. He was such a kind and lovely man. I didn't mention Warriors of the Deep!

Anyway, sorry folks - bit OT there. Back to Who!

Not only that, but the BBC was also not giving RTD and the others the money they wanted to do MD. So that's why Starz had to pony up most of the cash to help fund it(...)
What is special about that? It's very normal with european public broadcasters to finance and also sometime work together to get things made.
Not all european countries have public broadcasters as big as auntie beeb or big commercial broadcasters.

No, I've posted stuff here and there in the past myself, when I've had the cash and the bandwidth, and hope to do more in the coming months now that things are looking up for me. But I figured after seeing some of the one-dollar(!) sale offerings that it was worth mentioning. That's about as painless as giving back can get.

I'm liking the gap filling; much appreciated

and I'm liking the outpouring of older b*b*c audios.

... I've been giving some old R4 sitcoms another spin. And discovered that, rather disturbingly in some ways, that "Revolting People" and "Hut 33" use the same music!

look like a spy?????I do that all the time. Quite a few of us here take advantage of their many sales and not everyone has the site set to their homepage.


Agree with this totally. Support LC because they make the stuff you love. I eventually buy everything available on here which may, to some, make me dumb but I'm supporting the continued production of a thing that gives me great pleasure. I know money's tight but if you can support them, do. Especially when stuff is such a bargain.

And no, I'm not a spy either.I try to buy anything they have on sale at least half off even if I've not 'previewed' it yet.

Spy this....Spy that.....
really, let's not start eating ourselves here

we all get the basic economics of the situation, and of why we are here
do what you can to do the right thing
and if you don't know what that is, ask yourself one question...
what would the Doctor do?

Does anyone have a copy of the story about the daemons of the crimson cottage (and other stories) as individual mp3 files? It's story one hundred forty-two (I believe).

Thanks in advance...

ask yourself one question...


I know! Make a bargain with an alien race intent on conquering the earth, realize during the endgame that he was being played, betray his erstwhile comrades by working with the guy he was betraying in the first place, then make tracks during the epilogue.

Wait... I'm thinking of that other guy.

They've confirmed Tevid Dannant and Pilly Biper for the anniversary special (unsurprising for the first part.. UGH on the last one) let the fangirl rejoicing commence!

Is it wrong that I suddenly find myself slightly annoyed by having DT back?

Now I never thought I'd find myself having that sort of reaction.

How strange.

Do I sound self-righteous? Wasn't really my intention...

I meant me. And I suggest we all talk about more important things, like this weekend's broadcasts. I'll be missing both, naturally, but I've been enjoying the 'Revisited' series as they've turned up on 'BitTARDIS.' And I likes me some Third Medic, pomposity and all.

And just for the record, I definitely positively absolutely wasn't sent here to sow dissension by my employers.... Weyland-Yutani.

Is it wrong that I suddenly find myself slightly annoyed by having DT back?

Now I never thought I'd find myself having that sort of reaction.

How strange.

thrilled to have DT back, I love him as the Doctor and as an actor in general, but can't see him in much. I could do without BP though, she's my least fave out of the newer companions.

With all this rant of spies I just can't help myself... "Excuse me, can you help me? I'm a spy." 4th Doctor, Genesis of the Daleks.

Is it wrong that I suddenly find myself slightly annoyed by having DT back?

Now I never thought I'd find myself having that sort of reaction.

How strange.

What a bit of disappointing news. i loved DT as the Medic but he had such a beautiful send-off... i don't feel it necessary to have him back. as far as Violet well i think that little flower wilted quite a while back. and i REALLY hope we don't have to see the meta-crisis medic because that would be really messed up. Never liked that idea in the first place but now if we have DT X 2 + MS i think it'll be disaster. Now if Clara goes all out and EXTERMINATES Violet, like a payback for killing the emperor way back in the day... Hmm... If this happens i just might like to see Violet again just so we can give her a very final and worthy bye-bye episode :)

I'm only disappointed that he's the only one yet announced...
And as for BP - she's most welcome anytime :-)

At least if she couldn't use a computer there wouldn't be an awkward plot point to give her mega hacking skills ;-)

Does anyone have any of these featuring 12 minus 1 and the Lakes?

Painting of the Dead
Green Egyptian Monument
White-In

I'm only disappointed that he's the only one yet announced...


I wonder if that's what's causing my initial reaction?

Yeah, I think I'd much rather have the first real confirmation being that one of the first eight Doctors was DEFINITELY returning for the special.

How strange.

Yeah, I dislike his era more and more now that we're away from it. The flailing histrionics of it are a bit much, and I hated almost all of his companions. Nothing against him, I just don't like his doctor very much. It doesn't help that it brought a bunch of emotional tween fangirls with it--like RTD, for one.

Also, the copy in that official announcement made me cringe; there's at least one comma splice and the whole thing seems really poorly written. Nice one, beeb.

Not quite... the announcement elicited a similar reaction from me. I cannot decide what irks me more... the simpering look on mushmouth's kisser, or the fact that there's absolutely no confirmation of any other past medics.
Violet is a simple companion (who should have stayed dead/separated/gome), not a Medic. Dennant returning was a no-brainer, and hardly surprising.

And as much as I admire John hurt, he's not a Medic, either. "Star-studded" my eye.

possible plot spoilers in here - don't read if you don't want to know - my theory only
he's coming back with the flower...and only one medic was actually with the flower when it ended...so is it the 'handy' medic or the real one??

Well, I'm thrilled that my favorite Doctor is coming back with one of my favorite companions, so there! :p

I imagine certain corners of fandom are certainly fuming, though. It certainly does prove that they're clearly not the majority they think they are, though!

Happy Who-ster, everybody! Enjoy the new series!! :D

Nah. As hard as I'm currently finding it hard to get enthusiastic about them being back I suspect ....


It'll be the proper, full-fat, versions of both set during their early time together.

If for no other reason than it'll give SM a reason to write a snarky line about having 'relationships' with companions ... something this incarnation obviously finds not to his taste!

I'll be honest, much as it'll be nice to see Tennant again, I'm also having trouble getting excited - he was probably the most obvious returnee. I'm sceptical about any of the first 7 returning, unless they can find a convincing way to do it, given their current ages and appearances (& state of aliveness in the case of 1-3!). I'd be thrilled to hear if Ecclescake's said yes, and I'll probably squeal like a One Direction fan if McGann comes back (I'd love to see him show off his 'new look' on TV), but I'll be FAR more excited if they manage to come back secretly, and we don't find out until the night itself...

I bet Clara will end up being Rose.

Man, this'll be the best 7th Anniversary episode ever.

if they manage to come back secretly, and we don't find out until the night itself...

If they could swing that in these days of net and newspapers it would be fantastic!

Have to say That DT is coming back is hardly a surprise, (perhaps that's why they have released this info, it's SOMETHING to say on the day of the new "series"), but I am really disappointed that Petal is coming back.

She was fine as a companion, I ain't gonna bit*h about the actress, BUT

the characters end should be left alone, and if set earlier in their adventures (season 2 ish).....well that basically screws any OTHER medics.
To be blunt, time has ravaged its will upon the actors, so setting anything during their time with no explanation as to why suddenly they look........(how can I say this with the respect I wish to give) "matured" (?), would be problematic.

of course I did write a fanscript which solved all these problems, and why 1+2+3 weren't around, but the Beeb returned it unread :(

While I can imagine DT & BP making a return, I'll believe it when I see it. Considering the lengths the powers that be are going to to keep details about the 50th anniversary under wraps why would they leak the info. A few weeks ago, Barrowman got hauled over the coals just for mentioning that he had been approached.

By all accounts, their return was announced on the DW Twitter Account, so I'm not sure who actually announced it.

It's on the BBC Dr Who website. Can't get much more official than that. My bet is they're out filming next week so wanted to make it official before the fan forums got hold of photos.

I think the reason why they rushed the announcement over the weekend is because DWM shipped to subscribers early because of Easter. It contained confirmation of the casting news and was being leaked on the internet before they had the chance to do a formal announcement. Hence the scrabble to put out a press release and the resulting uncertainty.

I bet Clara will end up being Rose.



NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

I'm kinda hoping that Clara will end up being the Doctor's last regeneration. Imagine the irony - the Doctor ends up being a Dalek :)

Damn, how could I forget Tegan!!

I'm kinda hoping that Clara will end up being the Doctor's last regeneration. Imagine the irony - the Doctor ends up being a Dalek :)

I enjoyed them although others where not so enthralled, each to their own

Counter-Measures? I really enjoyed that too, fantastic change of pace and style, and different actors.....

Doctor-Fu?

And the suggested LizardmaidPotato spinnoff......
you can see SM wants to....

it does seem odd that RtD got 13 eps+xmas each year, AND CapnjackinCardiff AND ReporterandKidsinIslilington all up and running, but SM can only manage 1/2 a series and SheerLuck.
Ok I'm no writer or producer and cant b*tch about productivity, but for a job he has wanted for so long, one might think he would commit

Agreed. I am looking forward to a new producer, I am starting to prefer JNT....

I think SM is having to deal with a serious hit on the budgets due to dire financial straits within the Beeb. RTD was almost certainly able to be more lavish with the spending which allowed the productions to flow smoothly. Don't blame SM so much as blame a perfect storm of economic factors.

And because of that lack of money SM suffers, he changes the openingsequence every episode, that is much better spent than to use the money on the filming of the story itself, or free budget for a spinoff...?
But neonihilist is right, it's not the budget (the beeb has budget if she want's) but he has to commit, and Sherblock is more his 'baby' than any Medic's spinoff will ever be.

I'm a bit biased coz I've been a fan of his since Press Gang (I'm also a long-time Gaiman fan, so nyah!!), and will admit that he can sometimes go a bit far in the clever-clever department, but all in all I've been hugely satisfied by the Moff's era (and so have pretty much all ther non-fan viewers I've talked to who watch it), and will be sad when it's over. And I'd rather have quality than quantity, so the amount of output doesn't bother me, as long as it's enjoyable to me...

Just my opinion. Flames on... :P

... and will admit that he can sometimes go a bit far in the clever-clever department ...

I think it's that bit that I don't really like with SM's work ON FIRST WATCHING. I find myself so busy looking for 'clues' or 'is that continuity error or time-wimey' or just a blooper (a good example of the latter being the ages written down in The Book Of 101 Places) that I'm finding I'm not giving myself the chance to enjoy the story that's in-front of me.

It's not so bad the 2nd time I watch, but that initial viewing experience I find a bit 'tiring' (for want of a better word.) Or just plain frustrating.

Now I generally *LIKE* stories with Arcs and 'hints of things to come', but I'm not sure I like it in DW and/or not how SM does it in his circular writing style. (That said, Arcs and 'hints' is something BF do very well, IMHO, compared to the TV version since '05)

I dunno.

For me DW should be something you can enjoy and, if I can use the phrase, not have to THINK about all the time. Enjoy the magic trick. Don't feel you have to spend more time figuring out how the trick is being done.

Really the only big issue I've got with SM's tenure so far is that of River Song. Purely because, as I've said before, I'm still not convinced that he really knows what the heck the characters story *really* is.


On the point of the ages in the 'Book Of 101 Places' ... I *know* it's 'A Clue', but there's a bit of me that's rather hoping that SM was sat on the sofa on Saturday and ...



SM's Kid - Daddy, what does it mean that her age is missing 23?
SM - Eh?
SM's Kid - It went 20, 21, 22, and then 24. That means something, yeah?
SM - It did? (THINKS: Damn. That's not right. He should be concentrating on 101 being binary for five!) Oh, yeah, it means .... INSERT SOMETHING ...

LATER - SM rewinds and, yeah, it's missing. SM picks up the phone "GET ME THE PROPS DEPARTMENT!!!!!"

Really the only big issue I've got with SM's tenure so far is that of River Song. Purely because, as I've said before, I'm still not convinced that he really knows what the heck the characters story *really* is.

i am a big fan of circular story line and SM, but this I have to agree, especially the whole Mel thing

Doe's anyone want the D*U*N*E* audios?

If you mean the audio dramas, then heck yeh! I didn't even know they existed until a few days ago, and have been unable to re-trace their whereabouts. Bring 'em on!

Sorry looshkin, but what's wrong with being clever-clever? I quite like it :)

would anyone happen to have "The Medics Re-examined" 2&3?

Sorry looshkin, but what's wrong with being clever-clever? I quite like it :)

Hang on, I though you were cleverclever, not clever-clever, different things surely?? :P My bad, buddy!

I don't usually look for/see 'clues' on first viewing, I find I do that later more on, so I had a ball with 'Bells' this weekend, just enjoying it as an incredibly fun romp. I think about possible connections and so forth later. I really enojy it when I get more out of a story with each viewing, not necessarily just plot-wise, but performances, etc, too, and I find I've been getting it a lot with the SM/MS era. That said, I wouldn't mind a few more strictly 'stand-alone' tales, as long as they're not as bad as "Black Spot"!

Conversely, I find some of the LC arc stuff hard to keep up with, myself, probably because of the far longer wait between stories. I'm hoping to listen to certain LC 'threads' in order and short succession soon, and then hopefully get more out of them.

If you mean the makmilli0n ones then yes please!

I can't STAND River Song......but don't ask me why......I wish I knew.....on re-watching Rory reminds me of my favourite companion, Harry Sullivan....well maybe 2nd favourite after S-J-S.....

I think it is the content I have a problem with, there always seems to be some flirting, or a wedding, or a conversation about good looking the doctor is, and I switch off, how is that supposed to be interesting? When there is actual scf-fi content I don't find it very engaging, in fact, it often feels to me that the sci-fi adventure aspect is of less importance to the people making the show at the moment.....which could also be levelled at RTD and JNT also I guess.....basically, I believe I was spoiled when I was a kid, Letts/Dicks, and then Hinchcliffe/Holmes....sigh.

But then I have to counter all that with my age, and the massive amount of TV/film/sci-fi I have watched/read/listened to over the years.....I guess any new show would struggle to compete.....but yeah, I still really miss Barry Letts....the way issues were presented, and you could be educated a little, it seems to me they presented complex issues to us kids sometimes, but without opinion, so we were left to think for ourselves.....

Phew, those thoughts have been fermenting for some time............................

The First 5 Discs of the D*u*n*e Audios, only another 12 discs to upload and that's only the first book. Could take a while.

I was originally thinking I should be clevercleverclever after a quote from the little tramp medic adventure on Earths natural satellite, but decided it was too long. That's a nice segway into the 'clues' thing too, because I was pretty convinced the bow-tie MS puts on in tBoSJ belonged to the cosmic hobo.

For anyone in the UK "Doctor Who and the Daleks" is on Channel 5 at 1:15pm today. This is the Peter Cushing film from 1965

Dunno if I'm in the minority, but I like the Cushing movies. I'd prefer if Cushing had been allowed to be more his own style old professor rather than try to be a Hartnell 'cameo', but the stories crack on at a better pace and they do look fabulous.

Pity they never got to do their version of The Chase, if you ask me.

Thank you for all of the DMW's, you've made me and one of my mates very happy as I lost most of my collection due to a flood years ago, and he has had to sell his due to getting married and shrinking his collection down. One question though (from both of us) - Do you happen to have any of the Doctor Who Classic Comics by any chance?

I'm pleased they have given you so much pleasure, I must admit that when I started this collection it was solely for the comic strips, but the wave of nostalgia that I
got from reading the whole comic/magazine again made me keep them.

When I have finished the run of monthlys I will move on to the specials that I have.

As for the Classic Comics yes I have a full set on my bookshelfs, but as these will be my own scans I don't know what the quality will be like mainly because I havent
done that before, (as I said when I started to upload the comic collection I am not the original scaner), and also I dont want to pull my collection apart just to get a better scan, I know that sound selfish but I just couldn't do it, and then I have to learn how to convert to PDF or .cbr I haven't realy thought about which one yet, personaly I prefer PDF but I am geting used to .cbr as well now.
