got from reading the whole comic/magazine again made me keep them.



One of the things I really enjoy is reading the letters page, mainly because the fans in ye olden days seemed to fret as much about the show as they do now. My favourite was a letter from a horrified fan who had heard a rumour that when it came back it would have a theme tune performed by Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Much wailing and gnashing of teeth ensued. Fantastic!

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.

It was those films that got me into the Great Medic when I was about 4 or 5, nicked the VHS off my Dad. Now 23 and love the whole thing even more :D

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.

I totally understand about not wanting to pull them apart. And I agree with PDF's over cbr files, mostly as I always have a nightmare for some reason with cbr files for some reason.

Somewhere between the two, mostly they are narrated by one bloke but every now and again one of the other characters pipes in. There's about twenty people or so in the cast. More like a dramatic reading.

IDW is just fan-fiction with delusions of grandeur! I've not bothered with PofT but all the 11th Doctor stories I've seen have been two-thirds running about for no relevant reason at all, other than to give each of the main characters a chance to use their catchphrase!

Hahaha. It's so funny you should say that, because I've seen quite a few people who consider themselves "true Whovians" who lump the new series (especially RTD's stuff) and the TV movie into that category as well. They also consider those who got into the show that way are "just poser Whovians", even if some of them are more than willing to go back and revisit the classic Medics by way of the actual stories or Large Conclusions audios. It's pathetic. Especially since Doctor Who's been run by the fans since Douglas Adams was script editor!

Adams was good for the occasional story, but pretty much everything he ever wrote existed in the same Hitchhikery, Monty Python universe. His imagination was overridden by his style. CoD as a one off was great, but you can't go back to that kind of story over and over. I've been listening to the audio book of Shada, and frankly it's interminable.

Nobber

In fairness, the Shada book isn't a 'full' Adams' work, being based on the script and then padded out by Roberts. (Who did a better job of re-creating Adams' style more than Colfer did for his HH book.)

And, in more fairness, I really don't think that Ward was a great choice for reader. Her reading style just doesn't fit the pattern of writing and some of the more jokey passages just fall flat on their faces.

Not to spoil things for those that don't want to know but I wondered if they were going to be appearing this year considering that DVD is glaring by its ommision in the range. Really looking forward to seeing them - Hopefully the DVD will have plenty of care taken over it because of this

It has the original deleted opening that had to recolourised "manually" sthat has only recently been discovered so it's definitely worth the perceived delay :D

Oh an Aunty Pat reference would have a small community of us very excited and everyone else wondering why. I love that.

Unless the abilities of the zygons have changed, wouldn't that mean that anyone they impersonate would still have to be around somewhere though? If I remember right, they have to have a body print. Unless body-print = DNA. The Medic (AFAIK) has always had the same DNA structure. I can see a scene somewhat like ehT niarB fO suibroM where the Medic is mentally fighting to not be taken back through his regenerations so that he can't be body-printed. I think too much, I'll have to lie down now.

1 more before I go to bed...............

It's a B*B*C* audio adaptation of a story written by an author from around about a 100 years ago who lived in Woking. He's also well known for a time travel story and another one about a man who is not visible..... but this particular one is about aliens from a planetary neighbour that's red in colour and they travel here with plans of domination.

These are also floating around as torrents, which is how I got both of them. But I haven't seen the 3rd either. If I do, I'll spread the word. For those who haven't seen them, they're a half-hour retrospective by cast and crew of the classic and modern era (not unlike what you see on the DVD extras) followed by a complete serial. The Mayas, Grave of the RoboGuys, and Vanguard from the Cosmos.

Glad to see they're mostly sticking with the classic design of the Zygons and Ice Warriors instead of trying to re-design them like they did with the Silurians and the Cybermen.

Not sure where all the animosity towards Briggs has come from tho. When RTD was in charge, everyone seemed to slag him off, now Moff's in charge it's his turn. Do we just not like people in authority?

For people wanting to see people and situations from the BF audios appear in the TV show, it's not gonna happen. Just accept it, but for those wanting Lucie Miller check out the latest Easter special of Jonathan Creek - Sheridan Smith played his latest sidekick.

I'm not sure it's animosity, as such, in this context. More a sense, I guess, of people perhaps being tired of him seemingly hogging the role of doing the alien voices.

Yeah, but a nice little throw-away line would be a nice nod to the company that kept the franchise alive during the wilderness years. A company that's actually managed to produce the most number of original DW stories - even more than the TV has.

I agree it would be nice, but I don't think the Beeb see the BF stories as being canon. Yes, BF has created more stories, but those stories have a much smaller audience than the TV shows.

As far as Briggs doing the voices, it could be worse. I remember watching Rememberance of the Daleks and everytime a Dalek spoke, all I could hear was Zippy from Rainbow. Briggs can do a wide range of voices and make them sound different - of course electronic wizardry can help there.

They all have to go through Cardiff for compliance clearance and to ensure they don't accidentally step on the toes of TV stories, so I'd argue they DO see them as canon.

I'm sure the same could be argued for the various book ranges, too, but I have to admit that they're an area I've never really explored.

A story does not have to be a crossover to be fanfic.

There's also the thing where they make the Doctor the reincarnation of what amounts to a Time Lord god, and add in Looms so that Time Lords don't have to get cooties from touching girls, and try to retcon Susan into not really being the Doctor's granddaughter, so the Doctor never had cooties from touching girls. All of this screams "fanfiction from a twelve year old boy".

I've never followed the comics, but did have a quick glance at the DW/ST crossover for a few issues.

Putting the 'validity' of the two universes being combined aside, what really put me off was the, IMHO, bloody awful artwork. All of it just seemed like terrible Photoshop jobs done with screen-caps and 'LetzUDaArtz!!!!' filters.

Yes, Briggs gives good voice, no argument - my point is if he's doing the voices for the Ice Warriors (as has been reported somewhere), and possibly the Zygons - simply, WHY? Why not hire 'proper' actors to play the monsters and let the guys in the suits do it - you know, like they used to? It just seems unnecessary to me, that's all...

Yeah it is. Oddly they've officially released the the DVD but not the album, and the opposite is true of the Don Jenver Xmas 2gether special.

Yeah go for it.

I never went for the Don Jenver ones but would love to have them.

I grew up with the Don Jenver specials. And he's probably the best person to work with them, he behaved as though he was interacting with real person rather than a puppet.

Hi Tomoph, great share as always but I can't get 2000 (6) to download - it says it is a 143 mb file but then it downloads instantaneously and is 0 mb. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Also 2000 (7) doesn't seem to have issue 298. I do appreciate your efforts with these downloads, they're fantastic :)

I dread to think? What sort of stuff?Well.

In his travels, the Doctor has faced many foes. Some of these have been stupidly powerful. Nevertheless, the Doctor has almost always found some way to defeat, destroy, or render them innocuous.
This is because, even if they don't have to follow the physical laws of the universe, they still follow some set of guidelines that limits their potency, limits their effect; because of course you can't rule a universe you've just accidentally destroyed in a fit of pique.

Imagine, then, a foe that doesn't adhere to any rules. In fact, a foe whose raison d'�tre is the breaking of rules. All the rules, just because.
You can't beat them, because they're in your head.
You can't beat them, because as soon as your fist lands on their nose they've retconned the universe so now it's you with blood coming out of your nostrils.
You can't beat them, because anything you do makes them stronger.
You can't beat them, because they've already recruited you.

But you have to beat them, you have to find some way to stop them, because what they're doing is destroying the universe. Not getting rid of it, but making it a meaningless place/time. Not just nonsensical, nonsensical's fine, you love nonsensical; you invited nonsensical to your birthday and it brought you a delightful present. No, not just nonsensical, but meaningless.
A universe where nothing's worth doing because it's twisted or undone immediately, where all your intentions come to worse than nought. Where you can't trust anyone, least of all yourself.

You have to beat them, but you can't. There's no way.

So yeah, you've got the impotent, frustrated rage. You've got the seething resentment at this foe for what they've done, what they've turned you into. What they've turned the world into.

And that's all fine. I have no problems with that.
What I do have problems with is the fact that none of it is explained. This blight breaks the rules with impunity, and gives no indication as to how.
I'm all "but you can't do that! You'll destroy the universe!" and they're all "Haha, pitiful creature, doesn't even know how to do that without destroying the universe." WHICH DOESN'T EXPLAIN ANYTHING.
This foe is one big trollface, and smug with it.

There is no relief, no release, no small victory to make this unpleasantness bearable.
And this author keeps doing that. Keeps making up meaningless, unexplained, stupidly overpowered, frustrating foes that are children in their disrespect and disregard.


Even that I could have borne if only, if only he'd kept this poison away from Doctor Who. Anything else and I could have just ignored it like I've ignored Twilight and Fifty Shades Of Grey. But no, the blackguard had to muscle in on the series that I'd committed to absorbing in its entirety. He didn't even have the decency to make it a spin-off at first, instead plugging it in to the BBC books.

so yeah.
I just don't like his writing very much, that's all.

Joking aside, they strike me as the sort of thing that just looking at the blurb on the back of the book and a quick flick through made me go "Oh, f*ck that ..." for the Virgin and EDA books. A gut feeling of them getting 'up themselves'.

But, I suppose, it shows that despite the DW universe being outstandingly flexible when something doesn't 'fit' it *really* stands out.

I only really dislike authorly arrogance when it contradicts or retcons other equally valid (or invalid) takes on the world: my worldview is delightfully rubbery and can change at a whim with the right impetus.

I definitely wouldn't tar all the Virgin/EDA books with the same excrement-smelling brush. There are some utterly brilliant stories in there, and very few truly bad ones. Quite a large number that I didn't enjoy, but wouldn't have skipped.
I've made comments in my records like "a great story, poorly told", "a good story, just not a good DW story", and "excellent, but horrible".

I could make a list of ones that I recommend, with the caveat that I haven't really kept an eye on how good any of them are at being discrete stories that don't require wider context.

Incidentaly anyone who is dowloading these I can only leave the early links live for a short while longer because I need the space for 2000 to 2012 plus specials, I hate leaving a trail of dead links but the shear amount of memory (about 25 gb in total) prevents me from leaving them active :( I will re up on request though.

SD version took about 10 mins to DL and is good quality.

It also says "you can watch it here" on that site but don't bother you'll probably find that even after you've gone through the lengthy sign up for vk.com the videos are all blocked by your service provider. By all means try if you like and don't mind giving your mobile number, you never know it might work for you.

Hi everyone.

I've been away for a while, but I have a huge piece of information for Medic fans.

To be honest, I know that very few of you are going to believe me, because it just seems so unreal. It's something I've known about second-hand for a while now, but after this past weekend I have seen some confirmation with my own eyes. Rumors have been spreading on GB for a while, and a number of posts have been deleted.

An announcement was going to be made this past weekend, but it had to be pre-empted at the last minute when the news of Tennant and Piper appearing in the anniversary story broke. I guess the BBC didn't want to make more than one major announcement at the same time.

So here goes:


The BBC is in the process of acquiring no fewer than forty-four (44) Medic episodes that are MISSING from the archive.
This includes PRISTINE copies of the first two seasons. It includes some of seasons three and four, including the FULL 1st-2nd regeneration episode (and the first 2nd Medic episode with the pepperpots). The story in the London Underground has been found, as have some of the recently animated episodes.

The recovery of these episodes is the result of a MASSIVE inventory of African television stations. So many of these episodes were sold to African stations in the 1960s, and a proper, one-on-one examination of these stations' archives has never been done until now.


Again, I know this sounds really unbelievable, and I don't blame you if you don't believe a word I'm saying. My impression is that the announcement is going to be made soon. I'm very grateful to many of you on this board, so I thought that I'd thank you with this incredible little tidbit.

And I really can't tell you where I got this information. I promise I'm not trying to be cryptic, but much of this information comes from inside the BBC; I'm so grateful to those who have shared this with me, and I just don't want to get anyone into trouble. Do what you will with this information.

Peace.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be true!!! could this be linked to the Regeneration dvd boxset that is a complete mystery to what it contains???

Thanks for the news. Ah, me. The Beeb may have recovered 40+ episodes. I don't know, they look pretty busy this year. Maybe release a couple with some rehashes in 2015... Remember "Airlock" was reported found in2011 and you can finally get it this year. Comes in a 2-disc set, 70% of which you already have. Will all this grousing would keep me from having anxiety? Hep no, I want it now - so I can keep it on MY shelf for 2 years before I watch it.

Hi again everyone. All I know - and I'm kinda piecing this together by myself - is that there was supposed to be a news release this past weekend. However, DWM was delivered early to subscribers with the news that Tennant & Piper would be in the anniversary special. The higher-ups at the BBC had to scramble to do a proper press release of this information, so this other, bigger story was pre-empted.

As for when they are going to release the story now, I'm just not 100% sure. I think - and hope - it will be sooner rather than later. But I just don't know for sure. It could be this weekend. It may be a month or two now, though.

Again, I don't blame ANY of you with a "wait-and-see" attitude. To be honest, even with everything I've personally seen, I'm a little nervous about telling you all this, because I have no real idea as to the BBC's timeline on this. But I really feel grateful to this group, and wanted to share something with you.

I do know that dozens of posts touching on this subject were removed from G.B. recently.

Well I believe the news is being reported in good faith, but I'll believe it when we get a BBC announcement! Fingers crossed we do...

I hope this is related to the 'massive' news that DWO was hinting at last week which then got delayed.

I'm sure others would appreciate that.

It sounds like the DW books are very similar to the various Trek books. Some of them really evoke the spirit of their shows, others make you think "WTF!"Alrighty, here we go.Key:
Excellent. Recommended heartily.
Good reading but not necessarily the height of literature. Recommended on its entertainment merits.
Brilliantly told but unpleasant. Recommended on its literary merits.
Dreadful. Recommended as a lesson on how not to do things, and so you can share my pain.

I think it's the author, although whether he's incompetent or just not my cup of Earl Grey with two sugars and a gingernut, I'm not sure. Please, could someone else write an Iris story so I can revel in the character as much as I suspect I should?

There was one written story with her that I did really enjoy (possibly because, as a short story, it didn't have time to get slaughtered), that was Suitors, Inc. in the anthology Seven Deadly Sins, one of the BF Short Trips compendia.

Enjoyed Spartacus at first but I found I wasn't too fond of the visual style. If they'd relied more on physical sets and practical effects I think I'd not given up so soon. The obvious CGI, almost graphic-novel, style wasn't for me.

'Game Of Thrones', though ... absolutely brilliant!

I'm currently on a 'Bones' marathon. Watched one of the most recent ones a few weeks back by accident (clicked the wrong line on eztv) and even though I found it quite annoying at first I cheery-picked a few others, and now just approaching the back end of S5. (And it's also made me think that Ryan Cartwright - who went on to have a leading role in Alphas - could make a brilliant Doctor. Would have to be the 13th at least, though, as he'd be a bit too similar to Matt in portrayal, I'd guess)

I just told you how to do it in iTunes.

Go to the preferences, under the 'General' tab you'll see the Import Settings. Select the MP3 settings of your choice. Find the track in iTunes. Right-click, select 'Create MP3 version' - that one will then appear in the 'Music' part of iTunes,

Compassion? I read that and just think "Oh .. feck off!"Yeeeah. The heart-ripping-out thing made me very angry.
The reason the Doctor seemed to be the only one of the remaining TLs to suffer disconnection problems, was explained away later - but not well enough.
And it wasn't explained at all how the whole "reach into chest and pull out beating heart" even worked.
And the consequences of missing a heart were ill-thought-out.
The shebang was a mess.

And then we have the anthropomorphising TARDISes debacle. Oh dear sweet jimmy did that ever make me cringe. There is no way I can think of whereby that can be spun so that I would be okay with it and its consequences. I mean a forced-breeding programme‽ REALLY‽ Uncool.

that all said, I like the idea of refactoring the Time War so that it's a TL civil war instead of a war with the Daleks. They're competent villains, I just can't see them being competent enough to bow the TLs.

Hi everyone.

I've been away for a while, but I have a huge piece of information for Medic fans.

To be honest, I know that very few of you are going to believe me, because it just seems so unreal. It's something I've known about second-hand for a while now, but after this past weekend I have seen some confirmation with my own eyes. Rumors have been spreading on GB for a while, and a number of posts have been deleted.

An announcement was going to be made this past weekend, but it had to be pre-empted at the last minute when the news of Tennant and Piper appearing in the anniversary story broke. I guess the BBC didn't want to make more than one major announcement at the same time.

So here goes:


The BBC is in the process of acquiring no fewer than forty-four (44) Medic episodes that are MISSING from the archive.
This includes PRISTINE copies of the first two seasons. It includes some of seasons three and four, including the FULL 1st-2nd regeneration episode (and the first 2nd Medic episode with the pepperpots). The story in the London Underground has been found, as have some of the recently animated episodes.

The recovery of these episodes is the result of a MASSIVE inventory of African television stations. So many of these episodes were sold to African stations in the 1960s, and a proper, one-on-one examination of these stations' archives has never been done until now.


Again, I know this sounds really unbelievable, and I don't blame you if you don't believe a word I'm saying. My impression is that the announcement is going to be made soon. I'm very grateful to many of you on this board, so I thought that I'd thank you with this incredible little tidbit.

And I really can't tell you where I got this information. I promise I'm not trying to be cryptic, but much of this information comes from inside the BBC; I'm so grateful to those who have shared this with me, and I just don't want to get anyone into trouble. Do what you will with this information.

Peace.

dear god, I hope this is true more than any past doctors appearing in the 50th, yada yada... This ould be the BEST 50th Anniversary gift EVER, short of getting them all back...

I kind of like the idea of a slightly more sentient type of TARDIS, (though certainly not on the same level as compassion was, and not one that could be so independent of a Time Lord, maybe sort of an animal-like intelligence.) or one that can take organic forms as disguises, but it wasn't pulled off very well. I have to agree that those particular stories really are horrible.

That's sort of the basis of one of the 7th audios, Unregenerate, and that story pulled off "dark" DW pretty well.

With regards to the supposed find of 44 missing Medic episodes. Last year I heard, from a very good source (someone who would know), that all episodes of 1st & 2nd Medics were found, bar the pepperpot stories, but nothing more was heard. But hearing this announcement from Foefromthefuture has me hoping that what I heard last year is not just a rumour that came to nothing...

Well when I heard last year I heard nothing more. Now hearing a similar story from a different source, several months down the track makes me think it has a grain of truth.

hmmm. Perhaps they detected the future effects of the looming civil war. Ehh it still seems rather Pandorica. I don't see the Daleks interceding in anything, rather egging on both sides and building themselves a nice little hidey-hole where they can ride out the effects before emerging as the sole survivors.

Of course I would love it if more missing episodes turned up, but I am not getting my hopes up. We have all been disappointed by false rumours in the past.

At any rate, it does raise the question: Why commission an animated version of 'The Tenth Planet' episode 4 if they have already found it.

Yes indeed. ahaha "but what TL would be that stup- oh yeah. Most of them." Brilliant but moronic, condemned by their hubris. Remarkably short-sighted for a race that can see all Time and Space.

Can anyone help me with the mp3 version of the 4th medic 2.2? I got the m4b version a while back and have only just tried to listen to it and no matter how many programs i use to convert it to mp3 it never works.

I use WavePad, Just change the name from m4b to m4a then it recognizes it and you can convert to most audio files

It is hard to believe that the Beeb would sit on something so big for so long and nobody has blabbed to the papers, but still here's hoping.

Thank you Redskutter! Dunno HOW you found that, but am glad you did. My Google-Fu came up empty no matter what I tried.

My Google-Fu is strong.......

Do we really have to make Emmerdale cryptic?

hmmm. Perhaps they detected the future effects of the looming civil war. Ehh it still seems rather Pandorica. I don't see the Daleks interceding in anything, rather egging on both sides and building themselves a nice little hidey-hole where they can ride out the effects before emerging as the sole survivors.

I'm sticking with civil-war. But actually you've hit on a possible cause. Two senior researchers that spilt The High Council over an issue with Omega and the translation of 'qwertiz'. One faction preferred 'FAT' the other 'THIN', but further confusion was caused by the head of the CIA barring travel back to see exactly which end of his egg Omega opened first.

This minor spat soon escalated, with the fuel of 'runny' or 'hard' yolk, to such an extent that at one point eggs never actually existed as a concept in the universe for three days. Much to the embarrassment of the avian races.

The Daleks were finally persuaded to intervene, but found themselves somewhat hindered by the fact that they spent most of their time trying to get over the concepts of Eggs (a little known fact that the 4th accidentally removed this knowledge during Genesis - have you ever seen a Dalek eat an egg?) and the larger concept of "WE ARE THE GOOD GUYS?" for this.

Of course, none of this was helped by The Vogons needing to install hyperspace lay-bys at both Skaro and Gallifrey ...
