Shouldn't we hold off on seeing how well they do the parts first? They may be bloody awful for all we know.

I'd love to see that new original console room used in the new series, though. Seems a shame to go to all that effort for one drama.

Looking forward to it myself.

And big thanks wall1885!

Thanks looshkin too...

Homeplanet 6 is awful :( It's like bad messy fan fiction, not professional writing and the whole thing is just people stating the obvious in a mundane way with no real plot or character stuff.

They went down a bad path seasons ago, and never really recovered.

Romana should have fallen for some guy tied to rail road tracks by a villain.

Or anyone for anyone else.

No love story was a certain lacking in the story construction.

He certainly looks the part. Still haven't forgiven him for murdering Robb Stark tho :(

Lets hope he does not murder the portrayal of the original!

Yeah, the thing about political intrigue is that you expect it to be... intriguing. Here they just stand around talking to each other about stuff. Occasionally they stand around and talk to Daleks, which stand around. There's no point to any of this. It was so good in its first couple of seasons. Then it turned to crap. I've been hanging with it in hopes that it will resolve in some interesting way. Or maybe I'm just naturally inclined to masochism.

The extras disc with season six made me chuckle.... I think GR thinks he has created and co-written the greatest story ever told here!! lol
I mean I like the extras and all, however I could do without the LC staff's non stop back slapping and self praise! I would rather they actually let the actors talk more, after all THEY are the ones we care about, and their characters, not a bunch of fanboys that have made good!

The extra disc, especially the ending with Louise talking about Mary T was everything I wanted to see attached to the last #4/Mary T story.

The first episode of G6, I did not care for. While the pepperpots were sufficiently intimidating at first, they quickly turned into caricatures of themselves more at home in one of the LC #6 Pepperpot comedies.

The second episode was fair. The last half leading up to the cliffhanger was *overall* the best of the set.

The final episode I was pretty mixed about. I was surprised that R3 didn't end up being who I thought she was going to end up being. And the ending itself was so great that You Know Who started You Know What (no spoilers here!) that I was very pleased with it.

I haven't listened yet so will brace myself. GR always seems to come over badly. For instance he bitched the return of the show on TV messed up his plans almost as if he wished it had never returned. Don't know whether he means to sounds like that or not.

A REQUEST

Does anyone have a download that's not a torrent of "The Superfan's" completed version of the the unfinished fourth? I really don't want to go through torrents to get it, so if someone could help me out it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

I grabbed a copy off pirate bay & to be honest I was disappointed- after hearing so much about it for so long I actually watched it & deleted it- didn't keep a copy or burn a disc- he's animated Mission 2 the Unknown was a lot more enjoyable

If not, never worry...In other news...50th Anniversary trailer out tomorrow after Strictly...

Don't get TOO excited, though: "BBC notes that this does not include any actual footage of the 50th anniversary episode, The Day of the Doctor."

But it DOES have William Hartnell in hi-res colour?? Odd...

Homeplanet 6 is awful :( It's like bad messy fan fiction, not professional writing and the whole thing is just people stating the obvious in a mundane way with no real plot or character stuff.

Only heard Part One so far.

Look, I've been trying to give it the benefit of the doubt, trying to be positive. But. Oh, god, is it DULL!!! You can have the worlds most ill written garbage and still care about what happens, but this makes the mistake of making me just not give a toss either way.

As others have said up-thread, it's lots of people/things stood around talking to each whilst ... spoilers for this not heard it ...

...

The Dalek Controller plays with his Idiot Ball in the Panoptican. Seriously? You you've just managed to invade the homeplanet of your arch enemies and you only send a squadron of Daleks in? (And I guess the script is using the aviation version of squadron (12-24 aircraft) rather than the Army version of 300-1200?) Either way ... you don't just send a 'handful' in, you keep on piling in the pepperpots till he one at the front actually complains about it being just a little bit squashed.



I blame the dullness partly on the sound-design, too. The Sound effects were OK, but the incidental music felt like it was drawing the life out of the action. Ok, it makes a pleasant change not to have the over-orchestration that Jammy Robbertsun is getting a tendency to do lately, but you don't really want a lullaby going on.

Oh well. Come this far. May as well get to the end, I suppose.

If a Pepperpot complains about being cramped, he should be EXTERMINATED.

Can I add my name to the list of people who would like "Superfans" Shada please? Dont use Torrents like laughingbat86 so if someone has or could upload it I would be grateful.

The problem with this is that even the 'small' version is a 1.7Gb m4v file (the full one is a 6.3Gb iso). Putting that up onto a file locker is quite a major job. I think for most of them it would have to be split into 200Mb pieces. I have both versions so, if anyone can suggest an alternative to that, I'll give it a go.

It definitely needed more music and effects to fill it out as it reminded me of a cheaply made TV show with people standing around on a couple of sets and little music... but that shouldn't be an issue with audio.

I did love the recent Medics Friends with Jo so it's not all misery :D

Deleted

Ahh right. No problem. That does sound like a lot of effort! Thanks anyway.

OK, I've started now. I've used WinRAR to split the smaller version into 199Mb bits to upload to Sendspace. It'll probably take 3 -4 hours to up each piece. A soon as the first bits there I'll post the link here but the whole thing will take a couple of days.

According to another web-site there will a minute long trailer on BBC ONE (UK) tonight straight after Strictly Come Dancing (@ around 8:20), They also note that there is no footage of the Special, but is a specially specially created for the anniversary special.. Excited!

OK, first part of the 'short' m4v version of Monsieur Tete de Noeud's Shada. Please note, you'll have to download all 10 parts before you can uncompress it. I'll post the other bits as they finish uploading.

Gal VI: Pt 2 - Still a slog. To miss-quote The Savage "All these people do is stand around and talk yet no make no sense".

On the upside - Juliet L isn't too bad. Could have done with an extra take on some bits, but not bad at all. Wouldn't mind hearing her in more stuff. Colllingsport may well be calling for her, I think.

With a little trickery, you can sometimes watch an incomplete rarred up video file, depending on the file type and the software you use for unrarring and watching the video. I use WinRAR to unrar the files. If I only have some of the parts (while waiting for the others to upload or download), when WinRAR asks me for the next part, I just wait. Then I COPY the partially unrared file into another folder. (You can't move it, because it's in use, but you can copy it.) You have to have Winrar still open, because if you cancel it, it will delete the unrarred files. Then I try to run the partial file that I copied in my video software. I usually use Windows Media Player. Sometimes it works there. If it doesn't I'll try one of the simpler media players, like Media Player Classic or VLC Media Player, or one of the ones that comes with various codecs or CD/DVD burning software. Lately about 3/4 or more of partial files I've tried, I 've been able to view. I think it depends on the type of video file and the codec used.

The WinRAR method can also work with a bunch of files rarred up, if you only have some of the rar part so far. Just copy the ones that you want into another folder before canceling the unrar.

Hopefully, this will help some of you watch this while it's uploading, or at least something else at some point.

AMAZING!!!!

Has Matt started smoking behind the bike sheds with Steven Pacey?

That's some serious Ertha Kitt he's got going there.

The curious thing I found about the Shada book is that the guy who picked up Skagra (is that right?) hitch hiking, was gay and trying to pull the alien, but all his boner for stranger in a strange land strange got him his was a quick death from a pretty bastard.

What is with the bloody sonic screwdriver! I just want to ram it where the sun don't shine. You'd have thought that the message would have got home by now!

It seemed like they were computer modelled so we could bullet time.

(Do they still call it that? When the camera seems to orbit the subject.)

One or two real pictures spliced with another 400 computerisms from different angles.

I know ch0ronzon has started to post his copy, and I don't want to step on his toes, but I uploaded my version overnight, so here it is.

Mate, 'the more the merrier' as far as I'm concerned.
But do people want me to carry on uploading my copy, which will take a while? Yours, (which I assume is the same m4v file?) is uploaded already.

Not sure if anybody here had seen this before it was removed from youtube, an uploader called babelcolour had created 3 ten minute shows entitled the 10 doctors. It basically used lots of clips from the show cleverly edited together. Ok so it wasn't star wars cgi or whatever but I thought it was good, however the bbc tokk the nark and got him to take them down due to copyright reasons. He was in the process of creating a fourth 10 min episode with the 11th medic, however now the bbc has put their foot down he says he won't do it.

If anybody was interested i had downloaded the 3 10 min episodes a while back if anyone would like to see them i will upload to somewhere..

Heres a taster of a trail he did for the next one that never got made

Babelcolour Teaser Trailer - The Unfinished Ten Doctors Part 4 - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HS8MEmtsbBA)

1.8 gig. M4v. Yup.

4shared is much faster than Sendspace to download from, and Sendspace limits you to 300 megs an hour and 1 gig a day. Although personally I can upload to sendspace 10 times faster than I can to 4 shared, but that's more about location and how much of a #### my ISP is. It took me (literally) 2 minutes to download each of the 200 mb 4shared rars. If however Vertigo had supplied the folderlink instead of the individual links (which doesn't make much difference at all, and no recriminations.), paid account 4shared users could download all nine links as a single rar, and free users can download all 9 links as a single b1 archive (You have to down load their special unrarring widget. It's really annoying, and they send the b1 archive link to your email. But if there's 90 files (Like with Dorian Grey) in the 4shared folder, it cuts down on the manual labour.).

:)

I love you all!

Gal VI: Pt 3

Er ... spoiled, just in case ...


Ok ... when the hell did they enter The Matrix? Part Two? Was that ever made clear, or has all the alt-Gallifrey stuff been going on in The Matrix?

That notwithstanding ... the matrix can control the Real World? WTF? Yeah, I can get that it can seem real to those inside as I've seen The Deadly Assassin and Tron, but the opposite? Even with all their snobbishness and gallimaufry have they never heard of firewalls and anti-(time)-virus protection?

On the up-side - I liked the way it linked back to "Birth Of The Pepperpots" but I do feel that in a way - and, honestly I appreciate this is a fine hair to split - I feel that LC is telling a lie with the cover art. You've got an '05 RTD Dalek and that's obviously meant to hint towards The Time War. But the story says otherwise. It's all classic well within what LC have done already and it ONLY links out to "Birth Of The Pepperpots" and a nod-and-a-wink towards a "Ha Ha! It'll never happen again ...."


Dan "Community / Harmontown Podcast" Harmon has a simple dogma for stories - 'people at the start of a story should be Changed by the end' ... I did not get that with whole G-I to G-VI story. It felt like they, and we, were back where we started.



Ok, so I thought the series ended on a bum note, but I want to end on a positive note.

The script may have been tripe, but I'll give full marks to the main actors. Well played and committed throughout Special mentions for Ms Jammyson who's always brilliant and Ms Landau. The latter has a bit to go yet, but she's definitely a talent to keep an ear out for.

The JP image was the episode where #3 and The Mister fence, the console was spliced in. Can't recall the story name but I vividly remember them fencing.

Also, there are tons of images in places that are out of order, check the stuff laying around #1.
I don't mind the Screwdrivers until the last shot of #11.

Overall though, Mannnn that got me hyped, need the BBC to release a big mural image of all of that combined.

It will become more and more difficult to 'preview' material, so places like ourselves become more and more important. Sales of various media declining aren't simply linked to such sites as the above - it's a cultural change that I suspect will not change back, added to the quality of the material on offer. That 40 year old missing episodes of our favourite medic for example shoot straight to the top of itunes charts worldwide shows people will pay if the price is right and what's for sale is attractive in the first place!

On the subject of thing being banned if there are any footy fans here that like to watch their team online at 3pm you may have recently discovered a well know site has now been stopped "thirst row"

however i have found that if you just type first row into google, then click on cached via the little green downward pointing arrow you can still see said site and watch your fav team, for my sins it's Norwich, who aren't doing great at the moment.

Have also found that if you have opera and turn on opera turbo you also get a similar effect

Bablecolour is the pseudonym of Stuart Humphryes who did work on re colourising The Mind of Evil for the Beeb DVD release.

http://babelcolour.com/

For those that want to know what is up with the screwdriver, I feel that I can shed some light on it for you;

For the Beeb, the Medic's audience has and always will be children. A Lockpick shaped like a toothbrush is not a very cool toy. HOWEVER, a Do-everything-Super Gadget that is the constant weapon of choice for the hero in a childrens sci-fi show is not only a "cool toy", it is a toy that they can attach all sorts of lights and sounds to - which will increase the price that parents have to pay for them.

Of all the parts of the medic franchise that they could whore out for these purposes, this is PROBABLY the cheapest and easiest for them to make some cash off of, given the roleplay element that is HUGE in the targeted age range.

Covers are not important to me, and I don't have access to my collection right now, so I have no idea if I have a cover of this "movie" of a reasonable quality, but I have heard you and acknowledge your presence.

Google says



Or are you after a different cover, because there seems to be more than one, at a better resolution?

Hi guy, I really wanted one with front and back cover that I can use as dvd cover . Thanks x

Does anyone have a cbr of Poachers of the Scorched Rock? Either the graphic novel or single story is fine.

Hi guy, I really wanted one with front and back cover that I can use as dvd cover . Thanks x

perhaps you could photoshop one of the images you've been directed to and make your own cover?

A couple of quick questions about the 50th trailer.
Is that Capt Jack with his back to us just in front of the 10th?
Also, can someone jog my memory? Who's the dude with the electricity coming out of his hands? I can't place it.....or is it a newbie? -------Doh, never mind. Just realised it's a silent!!!!!

I've been away for a few days, did I miss the new Bloke's 6+1?

Yup.

No it's not - that's just a pram in the junkyard...

For my 2 cents - I think it's a terrific trailer that must've taken a lot of time and work, so kudos to the Beeb for a very entertaining effort, which manages to acknowledge a hell of a lot of stuff in just one minute...

And katrinaau - totally agree about D84: "I heard a cry..." "That was me..."

EDIT: That Combom article made me realise - there's a second voice echoing Smith at the beginning, sounds very familiar. Anyone else remember McGann saying he had to say some of Smith's lines recently?? I think it's him!! (possibly others, too...)

The Policeman at the start of the new medic trailer bears a resemblance to John Hurt. See here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10200884016121936&set=gm.399325776862049&type=1&theater

It's not the same actor as from Unearthly Child. It's been speculated that it is in fact John Hurt.

Personally I don't think it looks like Reg Cranfield from the original episode but it is difficult to tell.

Which may, or may not, mean something.

It's the one from the unaired pilot version.
That it is indeed. Going back to double-check An Unearthly Child, I realised for the first time just how low-quality the images of the show that we have actually are. Even with the DVDs that the Restoration Team worked miracles on, the police officer is just a vague shape where the only thing that's clear is that he's not the one on the clip. Then I checked the pilot, just in case, and while that's similarly low-quality, it's clear enough that he was the model for the version in the trailer.

As for whether it means anything, I assume it's just that he was literally the first person on-screen for Doctor Who, even if it was in the unaired pilot.

Ah, he is there. Thanks for that.

As Redskutter mentioned - and I've seen it elsewhere on the Internet - his voice echoes Smith's at certain points in the trailer. Been listening hard, it's difficult to make out.

And as for poor old Amy (not a medic, I know), you can just barely see the top of her head peering out from behind Ecclescake...

I read somewhere that Hurt is meant to be in the trailer - so I assume that's meant to be him running toward Tenninch? (I originally thought it was the Brig, who sadly appears to be absent - quite a big omission, really...)

Amazing how many little details they did manage to sneak in, though (note the clock showing the date & time of the original broadcast of AUC in the bottom right of Ironhead2's still, for e.g.) - still very impressed.

If you look at the copper's face at the beginning, it looks a helluva lot like Hurt... hidden in plain sight.

Great trailer! And great breakdown as well. What doesn't convince me is the identity of the face where 11 is standing. Don't think it's from the face of evil. that particular face was quite clear and distinctive. Who is this? Any thoughts?

I was *REALLY* looking forward to hearing CB as The Book.

If you look at the copper's face at the beginning, it looks a helluva lot like Hurt... hidden in plain sight.

I don't know why so many people are saying it's John Hurt - it looks absolutely nothing like him! Even as a young man Hurt always had those hammocks under his eyes.

The policeman looks a lot more like the one in the unaired pilot as several other forum folk have suggested. Judge for yourself (http://tinyurl.com/pssja9d).

I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't just "some bloke". Gotta be cheaper to dress up the office cleaner than blow all that cash on a CGI construct...

If one appeases the old-timers by paying homage to all their classical Doctors with a really cool CGI trailer, then perhaps one is freed from any such pesky considerations within the episode itself.

D84, not dead just rebooting....

Old-timers don't buy dvds.

Old-timers don't buy dvds.

We don't need those new fangled disc-doohickies when we've got our nice stacks of 1" reel-to-reel video tape.

At first I thought that the rumours about this been Hurt where absolute rot, but the more I look at this comparison the more I can see what all the fuss is about.

The simularitys are striking, but I'm still not convinced they are one and the same. The skin lines around the mouth and cheeks are almost identicle, and the actual eye shape is very simular but the rest of the face is too smooth and Hurt is quiet gaunt. But having said that I still can't decide.

It is an intriguing notion to have Hurt's unknown Medic skulking about as it where to keep an eye on his other self's. Why would he be doing that I wonder?

the rest of the face is too smooth

Bear in mind that Hurt's face is not as age-pitted as the image makes it appear: it's a very poor-quality image. The compression artefacts are abominable.

Even if they used Hurt for the image, it's not some huge conspiracy - it is supposed to be the Policeman from the first episode, and that is what it is.

Yup. Say that you don't like a particular character and it's treated like you've gone round the actors house and poured sewage through the letter box. Worse than the clich� image of soap-opera fans at times.

Complain about a duff script and you're told you should just be grateful.

Complain about shoddy download services at certain times and get told, again, you just be grateful. That's particularly annoying as they NEVER learn from those days when it all goes belly-up on Big Event Releases.

To be fair, it is the same on ANY company-run forum; you get the fanatic supporters or naysayers - it is the internet afterall.

*IF* it was Hurt, I could see the intrigue. But as it obviously isn't ... where's the intrigue?

And that's not meant as sarcasm. I honestly don't "get it".


I'm intrigued by Moffat's obsession with snipping up The Medic's visual history to splice it together into new stories. Co-pting the old to help make the new; giving old scenes new meanings by throwing different light on them. Or, retconning as it used to be known (and if you want to be uncharitable about this tendency of his). I was intrigued by the idea of him inserting the Hurt Doc/character into established continuity - as a lot of Who fans are obsessed by continuity, and there's no greater Holy Grail as its beginning i.e. Totter's Lane. Or the medic leaving his homeworld. (Perhaps a better word is mythology, as the minutiae of Medic continuity is too vast and contradictory for me personally to worry about too much, unless it's a story point too huge too ignore.) I wonder how well it will work if he does this in the 50th anniversary episode, so that "everything you thought you knew is no longer valid!" This tendency intrigues me. He knows how manipulate the media and the fans, but does he really know how to tell a great Who story any more? He seemed to, under RTD's stewardship. Whether the image of policeman/Hurt is real or not, us and the rest of the Internet analysing it seems to me to be as a result of a definite approach to storytelling that Moff's adopted and followers of the show have got caught up in it. To broaden it further, I'm intrigued by it as as a storytelling principle...

Not sure if SM had anything to do with the commercial direction-wise. I think it's just a BBC celebration of a show they have panned for 50 years while slipping the finances it generates into their pocket to produce BBC Drama Theatre features.

I'm intrigued ...

Yeah, I think I see where you're coming from on the whole. For me, though, I think it this particular case, though, it's based on (if you'll excuse the expression) such a false premise that it's hard to connect forward.

But Thank You for such a detailed response.

Now, maybe its just me... BUT with the genesis of the "Great brain" in the last Xmas romp, do I find the thought that maybe the parent organisation KNEW that the WOF had been recovered many many months ago? OR has the "Great moff of the galaxy" just raided the past of the series? Just a thought...

No probs. I didn’t have time to do so yesterday ‘cause I was running around so I can see how my reply didn’t seem to pertain to anything in particular, but that image just sparked off more musings.

It’s just something I’ve observed more and more in culture – the patchwork story. I’m quite fascinated by it. I mean, people retell stories all the time, that’s the nature of myth, to put their own spin on it. But Moff is rejigging modern myth for very particular purposes in a very particular way so I’m intrigued to see where it’ll all go. The great thing about the Medic is that, further down the line, someone (another showrunner) can undo it all anyway, if s/he has a mind to. Time can be rewritten, as it were…

Nope. Not just you. The GI always struck me as a rather odd 'blast from the past' to re-introduce out of the blue like that, especially as an ongoing foe. But, it does make sense if they'd really hoped to re-release WoF prior to 7B being shown.

Re: Hurt & bobby comparison.

Sadly, the ears don't match. It isn't Hurt.

Re: Hurt & bobby comparison.

Sadly, the ears don't match. It isn't Hurt.

Yes I noticed the ears too, I think Nobber is right about it being the bobby from the unaired pilot, I have been unable to find a decent screen grab to compare them.

I confess I wanted it to be Hurt, and for a time I let my heart rule my head.

I just want to know why it being Hurt would have mattered AT ALL, it is an anniv. trailer- not some grand masterplan thing.

Because he broke the Chameleon circuit, and or the fluid link that forced them to explore the Dalek city on Skaro... Wait? That was just something the Doctor made up, to get Chesterton out the front door and explore.

If the Hurt Doctor was there, even though his younger self and Susan had already been travelling for years, he must have been Bill and Tedding it to set up some future victory by planting something useful in the past, which is surely how you break the web of time.

I've had a look at the unaired pilot and you don't really get to see the bobby all that clearly. It could be Hurt, but if it is the image has been photoshopped to get rid of the wrinkles and the bags under his eyes.

Even if he did have some master plan, I'm sure Moff would overcomplicate things and soon the story would disappear up it's own backside.

On another note ... Moff could have known that WoF had resurfaced. If they're the remastered versions on ITunes then the project would have taken time.

Possible. The remastering could have taken longer than hoped and there does seem to have been some 'posturing' going on behind the scenes that held things up.

Re-watching WoF the other day and I found myself wondering if there's another 'remaster' to come for the DVD version. Some of the scenes look to have been 'painted' black where you'ld expect just a bit more detail. Very contrasty, if you see what I mean. Still watchable, of course, but the occasional "shouldn't that be a wall texture?" now and then.

The Restoration claims they didn't get it until June of this year. If they are telling the truth, and let's just assume they are, than that means that the BBC was likely negotiating with Morris for a while, giving even more credence to the larger haul that's been proposed for a while, and that there would be an initial, smaller release as a good-will measure. Negotiations likely started over a year ago, at which time Moffat rewrote the Snowmen to include the Great Intelligence and to get modern fans to give a darn about Web and Enemy being returned. Seems perfectly logical.

Well by all accounts the whole missing episodes saga has been going on for nearly three years!
And about two and a half years ago, there was a news story, that vanished VERY quickly, that marco polo had been found...
Is it all connected??? who knows

I clearly remember a post that said they had then found it, then zip, nada, nothing!

Totally agree that it's the Bobby from the unaired pilot but the warts and wrinkles bare an uncanny resemblance to Hurt's around the mouth area.

Eyes and ears no but the nose is pretty close.

You can see both hands, though, and the forehead of a Silent.

I still can't work out who the chap is in front of 10. Seems to be wearing very high-waisted trousers, thick belt, gold (?) waist-coat and a sash. I've seen speculation it's Jack, but a) he doesn't look the right shape and b) wouldn't you expect Jack in the familiar RAF Great Coat?

Okay, you're right about the silence.
I've got two guesses about the guy sith the sash either Hurt's Doc (does wear a bandoleer of some sort) or Jackson Lake (who also wore a bandoleer).

Doctor Who Interview - Paul McGann on Peter Capaldi & 50th Anniversary - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOPPmhGDg38)

5.21 confirms he wont be in the special episode...

Good Grief!!

He actually mentions the audios!!

That's a rare thing for interviews.

Okay, you're right about the silence.
I've got two guesses about the guy sith the sash either Hurt's Doc (does wear a bandoleer of some sort) or Jackson Lake (who also wore a bandoleer).

Poooooosssssibly Lake. Maybe. -ish. I think it's more a sash than a bandoleer.

Maybe I'm just an idiot but *every single time* I see LC on here I still think for at least 2 full seconds that it's referring to L*o*o*s*e*C*a*n*n*o*n instead of Large Conclusion. God, I hate getting old and senile.

You're not the only one.

The latest rumour gaining momentum is called "MMM" to signify that Massacre, MythMakers and - whisper it with quiet glee - THE MACRA TERROR (?!?!?) have been confirmed finds.

MMM is actually Massacre, Macra & MARCO, held over from the first lot due to rights/restoration issues (word is only 3 eps of Myth have been found) - although one of them could be exchanged for Moonbase, as it's still on the tentative DVD release schedule (& would make sense, as only 2 eps would need restoration, and it features one of the 'Big 2' monsters)...

I'm definitely hoping for Massacre, as it's the story I know least about, and I'd be fascinated to actually SEE it!

Speculation also over which 'previously missing' episode will be shown at the Missing Believed Wiped event in Scotland on Dec 1. Smart money's on "newly discovered" Web 3, but other popular candidates include an ep of the Highlanders (scottish flavour!) or Marco, or even - believe it or not - the Feast of Steven!!!!

And, yes, Moff & co DID know - the original announcement of Web was meant to occur almost simultaneously with the broadcast of Name of the Medic, but politics, egos and restoration problems seem to have put paid to that...

This is all stuff I've heard I must point out, I'm not 'in the loop' like some are (hi, Flash!), but I trust those I hear this from.

Make no mistake, however, there's Definitely more to come - possibly LOTS more... ;)

I still can't work out who the chap is in front of 10. Seems to be wearing very high-waisted trousers, thick belt, gold (?) waist-coat and a sash. I've seen speculation it's Jack, but a) he doesn't look the right shape and b) wouldn't you expect Jack in the familiar RAF Great Coat?

Hurt Doctor.

Probably... :)

Say that you don't like a particular character and it's treated like you've gone round the actors house and poured sewage through the letter box.

Is that not... should I not have... oh dear...

Suffice to say it was a messy ordeal! Enough so that it pushed back the production of Sherlock. In the end, Moff's wife was personally negotiating returns. It needn't have been as cumbersome as it was / is. Also, Polo exists. 100% positive. Cannot wait to see it!

...Enough so that it pushed back the production of Sherlock. ...

Really? Wow.

Just. Wow.

What a cluster-bunny-up.

Oh I really hope so.

I know who I would like to have sewage poured in their letterbox ... which ever nerk thought it was a good idea to have the 'ranges' buttons on the LC Ranges page display in a random order. Soooo fecking annoying.

Maybe some people want to see Vienna first. Not me, of course. Not any sane person. Ok, nobody.

Seriously? People are talking about The Feast of Steven being discovered? Surely if there's one episode that should be immune to a discovery rumour it would be the one episode that was never even telerecorded. I mean, I'm as excited as everyone else as the prospect that all these stories may have been discovered, but we don't need to go silly do we?

Oh, the chances are still EXTRAORDINARILY slim, but, the possibility exists that engineers, etc may have made telerecordings at some point, so there IS a chance (microscopic, but still a chance) that this is one that's been recovered in the UK by Vaul Panezis & co as part of his quest...

I hope Lord Flashheart doesn't mind me reposting something he put on the 'other place's Missing Episodes thread:

"Now I suggested Feast Of Steven earlier as Vaul Panezis had said it was possible it may have been recorded. What the info I got basically suggests is that some episodes could have been recorded by engineers and maybe out there like Feast, but Feast is not one of the episodes in this batch of films I am talking about here. I have no idea what is there, nor does my source or a couple of the people who know what I am talking about, nor will we know until they succeed or not. But if his works we could have episodes that were thought to be lost, and in the future someone could have a tape of Feast that is in the same state and that could be rescued and put to the archives, but it will take a lot of time because of the process itself."

So highly unlikely, yes, incredibly hopeful, yes, but not actually silly, no... :)

Pinch of salt, but crossed fingers...

Perhaps not, but when we know that there were 96 episodes that were absolutely definitely definitively telerecorded, it seems odd for people to focus on the one episode for which there is zero evidence of a telerecording being made, especially when the best argument in favour of it seems to be "hey, someone could have done it on a whim."

That said, most of my knowledge on the subject comes from being a regular on the long-dead much-missed Restoration Team Forum, so my information could be several years out of date at this point. I would love for Feast of Steven to be returned (if only because it sounds like an insane episode); I doubt it will be; but if it is, I will happily stand up and admit that I was wrong.

Now, about the Hurt suggestion. I think the only reason people get so analytical is because they've been conditioned by Muppet. He's tried to be so clever during his reign that we watch the episodes and examine minutiae in detail to see if there is some hidden meaning, or if it relates to the story arc. It's very annoying. I just want to sit down and enjoy the episode, without worrying I might be missing something. My goodness, RTD's era wasn't like that!

Well, I've managed to do that, no problem. I watch an episode first just for the story, the experience, and all that, and if I notice any 'arc' stuff, it's a nice little topper. It's a nice little surprise if further down the line something turns out to be important, but at the time of viewing, it doesn't worry me at all. The future's the future, I try to enjoy the now. It's a shame others can't do that, though, and I can see how it'd be annoying if you can't.

The specials will probably be a different animal, though, as they ARE mean to be culminations of 'arcs', etc... Maybe when Capaldi's run starts, try to watch the first one with no 'baggage', and just pretend there's no running story starting up - see if that makes a difference...

For what it's worth, I NEVER thought the policeman was JH - never even crossed my mind...

BTW: Have a look at this to see just how much of the trailer was 'real' - respect is, I believe, due...

Love the behind the scenes bits from the trailer. D84 and Sarah's owl!

About the Hurt business. I do a podcast and, during my absence from doing said podcast they discussed about the policeman. I noticed this had generated interest and so I posted on here, that's all.

We have, at times, when discussing recent series that when RTD was show runner it was easy to just sit back and watch, finding it easy to just relax and watch an episode. However, nowadays we watch, and because of the way Muppet does things, wanting to be "clever" (there's been a lot of hyperbole eg "This episode will be a game-changer" etc when the said episode wasn't really) we watch and can wonder if even the smallest details are important, especially with so many unresolved things raised during Muppet's time.

I don't want to have to watch a story many times to enjoy it, or get the most out of it. Watching never used to be like that. I'm not having a bash at Muppet but I do think, as has been mentioned before, that Muppet is better at his individual stories, not as show runner. I think an arc should be a nice little bonus, not something to analyse an episode "Is that important?". I look at how arcs were done during RTD's time and arcs done on other shows in comparison. Muppet's have to be the most infuriating. This has not been just my opinion either, but in discussion with others we've found we were in agreement.

I might try your suggestion with the new medic though, whenever they, eventually, decide to run the next series.

Well, according to Foe (back in April), it seems you will be getting your Marco Mints, at least...
I just located this old Post of his:-

"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."

He was on the button with his initial news, so I'm hopeful this pans out too.

see lc have released their multi medics story today

LC site going down in 5...4...3

And yet again the system crashes due to high demand!!! UNREAL!!! How the f##k can they not have got this kind of thing sorted out by now?!

Micromanaging costs in order to maximize out is a constant struggle for small companies which, believe it or not, LC still is.

Demand for this release is likely far in excess of a standard release day (obviously). Depending on how hard their server is being hit, it could easily be a day before it comes back up, depending on who maintains their servers for them.

Oh I really hope so.

I'm so hoping Polo is recovered, it always seemed odd that was lost in the first place and never found, since all the other serials during season one exist and have done for a good many year.

They should still be able to 'book in' additional capacity/bandwidth with their provider as they know perfectly well the stats from other previous big releases. Even for a small company there's very little excuse for it these days.

And that's honestly not meant as snark in anyway.

From what I understand it, they tried to increase the bandwidth of the site over the last few months in order to prevent and/or counteract another "Dark Eyes" scenario. Yet it still happened. I'm not gonna talk smack about them, but I sincerely look forward to hearing it soon. :)

Released a month early. In fairness, with all the Doctor Who related hookum on over November, this would either have been (a) missed or (b) considered overkill and ignored. Say what you like about them, but the early release has been a good decision.
Agreed. I was kinda concerned that LC's contribution to the proceedings of the 50th would be lost in the shuffle. Thank God they made the decision to release it early to mitigate that. :)

I thought Briggs said (in the latest podcast) that the bandwidth problem was sorted.

Thank God they made the decision to release it early

As imagine if it was released on the 22nd/23rd and you can't get it over the anniversary weekend. Stuff would hit the fan..But now its been released and if you want the Deluxe version you should get the 10% off as it is �40. -Well here's hoping anyways!

Hope its a good'en!

So you basically want everything? Fair enough on here, but all you really had to do was ask for the package.

To be honest, it is a one off release, wouldn't people just buy it this time? Show them some support.

I won't get into it all, but this is an expensive release unless you get the standard version. Just shocked, I would never expect anyone to share it and pay for something I want.


Anyway, vinyl for me this time. I dusted off the record player in excitement!

That's what I was getting at in a couple of posts I made recently. Sometimes you just want a straightforward good story, eh? Without all the timey-wimey, easter-eggy clever-cloggsiness. I am interested in it as a phenomenon, though... as if stories have to somehow all be fractured, multi-arc super plots, these days...

Just been looking at the LC F/B page and they have this ...


The problem is being caused by the sheer number of customers visiting the site at the same time. We have to confess that this is the unforeseen circumstance we simply didn't anticipate. It is because the demand is so unprecedentedly huge that we didn't know to check this before releasing.
(my bold)

Seriously?? The number of pre-orders and the history of releases like this didn't give you an idea? Seriously.

Thats the most annoying part.

wots the annoying part

Your welcome , can I ask one favour. If you are going to comment or review the story in anyway could you please put your comments in a spoiler box. I can't listen to it till Sunday as I'm working all week , Sunday being my one day off and I really want to go to it knowing nothing.

God bless you, Goldie. I'm giddily looking forward to hearing Tom Baker and Paul McGann's Medics chatting to one another. Part of me wishes it were out yesterday so I could've listened to it at my volunteer work instead of a couple of Medic's Friends stories, but beggars can't be choosers... XD

I won't be downloading, I want to listen on the anniversary weekend, on vinyl.

But bloody hell, that was a generous post.

oh rite get u know just seen it sorry

Their site is being hammered so badly that it keeps logging people out and then saying that the passwords aren't valid. I'd refrain from making any purchases there for the time being, until they sort everything out. Several people have reported being told by the site that their card was declined, when their bank says the charges were approved. It's ironic that those who want to support the company (at least this one time) and legally buy it, rather than getting it here or elsewhere can't currently do so.

On another note, while they're releasing this exactly a month early. The regular monthly and lost one haven't been released yet. With 5 MORE CD's worth coming in the next week, and demand for this story probably continuing for a while, I expect the site to be very busy all week!

Just been looking at the LC F/B page and they have this ...

(my bold)

Seriously?? The number of pre-orders and the history of releases like this didn't give you an idea? Seriously.

All you can do is guess when it comes to stuff like this. While it is super easy for a tech to say "well just reserve X amount of bandwidth" (I have made this mistake before), the simple reality is that unless you GROSSLY overestimate your likely traffice - you are going to cut into your budget far too much.

Now, as we see, this leads to upset and unsatisfied customers when they don't figure it up properly. However, we personally have no clue what metrics they are looking at. If they have 7,000 pre-orders for the digital version plus 1-2,000 people that follow their site closely enough to grab releases the day they come out, they can expect traffic to be about 10,000 people at the same time assuming everyone is capable of getting on their site in the initial 2-3hr launch window.

However, they released early. Not only that, this news is being trumpeted all around the fansites. People that could take or leave LC releases will suddenly get the Impulse Buy bug. In short, giving a service provider a feasible estimate would have been difficult and/or expensive

I am MORE than willing to berate LC for their failings (or our perception of their failings), but you can't really compare the release of ShadyPeepers to the 50th anniv Medic story in terms of interest level. While I love my #8, I know he doesn't hold a candle to ALL of the LC medics on an adventure against The Mister.

Thanks so much Goldie

yeah, and thanks Goldie from me too. killer share

All you can do is guess when it comes to stuff like this. ...

An EDUCATED guess. Based on your pre-orders and how things have gone like this in the past, then discuss with your provider dynamic allocation of bandwidth to ensure you're not in a position where you have to say "Hay! We've got this NEW thing. But we suggest you don't download it until tomorrow."

Obviously I don't think we're going to agree on this point (no sarcasm intended) so we're probably best agreeing to disagree, I think.

Beer?

True. But it's a far better update/remix than the one Jammy Robbyson did for the Mary stories.

Ah! That's good to know. Even if you get the 'standard' release or is a 'deluxe' only?

I'm slightly miffed in some ways as I was going to pre-order this next week. Oh well. So far this is one well worth legitimizing.

Not sure to be honest, it was there with my vinyl one.

I would wait and see or hopefully somebody else can help. I am still tempted by the CD as well.

I thought it was just surround sound, so if you had surround sound speakers and put the 5.1 on your system or TV attached to them, it would provide the whole surround sound, things behind you kind of thing.

Well, yes, I know it's Surround Sound, but I've only used it for DVDs. We rarely use ours as our living room is just that bit too small to properly appreciate it without getting deafened.

By format, I mean the electronic format.

EDIT TO ADD - Ha! Just to show how rarely we use the surround sound ... SWMBO has just reminded me that we put it all in the attic Christmas 2011!

I downloaded it assuming that it was a 5.1 mp3, though I'm honestly not even sure if there is such a thing.

But it's a video file with 5.1 surround sound. The video is mainly just the title of the story bouncing around the screen, with a few bits of text like Big Finish presents, the date, etc.

Goldie,

THANK YOU SOOOO Much!!!!! It was well worth the wait! Great story line, good performances by Doctors 4-8 and whoever supplied the voice for Doctor 2 !! I just spent a very enjoyable 2 hours with my first time listening to this wonderful audio drama, and I will enjoy it quite a few more times in the future!! Again, THANK YOU, Goldie! Long may you reign as the beloved Queen of this forum!!!

...whoever supplied the voice for Doctor 2 !...

I was wondering that, too. There's definitely some lines from the recent WoF release such as ...


the bits about the flashing light are taken from the start of Ep1

Or it could be the start of NMEoWorld. One of them, anyway!


.... but I did find myself wondering if some of them were done by either Fraiser or his Son.

Thanks to Goldie, however I didn't get as I got my own and she beat me to the punch getting it up here! ah well lol
She just provided the story. If you want to provide the rest of it, we won't stop you.

Cheers Goldie. I appreciate the up.
But I'm going to be good and not listen until i've heard all of the 1963 trilogy first, but I hope that you enjoy it when you listen.
