I'd argue that we're all lazy, but I can't be bothered.

If laziness was an Olympic sport, I might go for Bronze.

Do you know that your badly paraphrasing Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers?

(Or were both phrases part of the infosphere generations before that book was written?)

Meh. Too hard...

I have an odd request. Does anyone have the singing album for the 8th medic's femail companion?

Thank you for Wells November7.

Ms Smithmiller? I didn't even know she'd done one ... and she'd done quite a few acording to iTunes, so you may need to be a bit more specific (Or, probably better, ask out in the rest of the forum if there's a bit dedicated to theatre releases?)

I meant this one:

Hi, would you be able to send me a PM too? I am also looking for Series Three of those without grace!

I meant this one:


Oh! I didn't know his first side kick had done an album, either. Doesn't sound too bad. Can't you capture directly from there?

I was just wondering if anyone had been successful in locating links for the audiobooks for the time traveling mad man in a box through various locations. I am in the process of searching for the ogoidua and bullish ese ones that are listed as having been released. I am not asking for links but just a general feel for whether I am embarking on a futile quest as a completionist?

A pretty substantial number of the AGo stories are in the big t*rrent file of LC stories.

Whereas I am really ticked off about the lack of a blu-ray version... :(

It is odd. It's obviously a low selling niche product but I would have thought it still would have sold enough off the back of the 50th to release

It is going to broadcast in HD isn't it? Just rip and burn. Not *EXACTLY* as good as it could be, but better than dvd quality.

I'm sure I've seen a BluRay advert for it?

EDIT - Nope. Sorry. I was thinking of 'Day Of ...'

Need some advice : Saw The 9 +1 Planet (Medic One's Last story) DVD in an exchange shop in good nick for �8, should I get it or wait until -if rumours are to be believed- it is re-released in a couple of years complete with all 4? Should I buy it or not.

At that price, you may as well grab it. For the Animated episode. if nothing else.

Here's the thing.

If episode four is found, that animated episode is NEVER going to be sold legally ever again.

Thanks for the advice. Gonna get it. �8. No Brainer!

Hadn't seen that.

Hopefully good news.

Just been listening to The Empress of Thyme lost tale CD and - while it's very enjoyable - I can see why it was never made on telly.

Basically...

It's just the Celestial Toymaker Pt 2 really, innit?

but that would require accepting it and things, even...moving...that's far too much exercise. And sitting? Think of how much effort that takes. Far easier to just sleep through the whole thing :)

Genderbending.

Genderbending.

If only it had been...

The Celestial Toymaker reveal was heavily broadcast from the start, the Doctor must have been having an off day not to spot it as early as most listeners will have done. The only twist was that it was his sister and NOT Michael Gough wearing lippy and a basque (which would have been more interesting)

...I thought it was shite...

Someone on GB says they've seen info with an Aus distributor for a M*A*T*T S Specials box set so maybe it will be in the bluray version of that so it's not just the Xmas and 50th discs.

ooh, that'd be nice, as I live in Aus. Hopefully if it's the case, they'll announce it soon...

Interesting that there's an article about Anthony Coburn considering what his son is attempting. Obviously the mag went to the printers before this story came out. I wonder if, given time, DWM would have pulled the article?

Pulling the article about Anthony Coburn would be doing the man a disservice. He was there at the start and did write An Unearthly Child - it's not his fault that his son is an attention-seeking prick.

I see what you mean, but I guess that CC was thinking more that DWM could publish something the attention-seeker could use as 'evidence' for his prickness. "It must be true, Your Honour, as DWM printed that My Father was in the toilet every time it was discussed. That must be evidence of a BBC cover-up!"

But if they did pull the article and he found out, the question would then be 'why?' Catch-22.

If it comes out that Coburn did actually come up with the idea then fair enough, but like someone said why wait until now to make these claims except for the publicity for doing it on the 50th Anniversary.

Plus, whoever has researched the article may actually be able to shed some light one way or the other.

I wouldn't be surprised if all the original ideas for the TARDIS were already on court records due to that move The Met Police tried to do a few years ago (Pre RTD?) over the image rights of the police phone box.

According to Wiki, the TARDIS was definitely created by Coburn and as we all know, Wiki never lies. Sorted *sarcasm*

Just me playing devils advocate really.

Stuff like this pops up all the time in popular works of fiction. Look at the ongoing fight over the "rights" to famous American comic characters.

I wish I had the money to make frivolous allegations like these guys do.

I cannot be the only one that just feels weird listening to that DoD11's narration can I?

only on ord-e-bull and eye-toones

I just wish they'd NOT called it The Tomorrow People. Taken on its own merits it's not too bad and I like how the story is going. Yeah, it riffs on themes we've seen from Alphas/Heros, but so far it's doing it well. But .. but it's NOT what I would want as an updated version of the original TV series.

As an 'reboot' of TP - it sucks

As a new series ... it's got legs.

And I'm enjoying more than M:OaS.

Oh I cant agree- but I think as a big TP fan I'm very easily pleased- I don't like some of what they have done the ability to kill, Ultra, No Galactic Federation- AND WHAT HAPPENED TO JAUNTING!!!!!!!!!! No jaunting belts. Gggggrrrrrrrrrr

But I have enjoyed lots of little nods to its origins
TIM (even if not quite as we know him/it)
Saps
HomoSuperior
Jedikiah
Steven & John
the Prime Barrier

I've always felt that the TP formula is universal & unlike Doctor Who - it's not quintessentially British IMHO.

but I can also appreciate the comparisons to more recent U.S. sci fi's, mainly because the original TP series just didn't get across the pond- the majority of the modern audience has no awareness of its origins or history.
Not sitting on the fence - I can understand ch0ronzon, lokisph, guygardener & your comments- I will stick with it, as I said previously, unless things improve, I think I'm just gonna have the 1 series to enjoy- I hope that when/if it ends it doesn't have an unresolved cliffhanger (like the V remake), I wont be expecting a big influx of TP merchandise either .... which is a shame as I'm a sucker for a novel or magazine subscription, LOL

I find it all a bit bizarre! As far as I'm aware Anthony Coburn had no issues, grievances or unresolved claims of copyright/ownership while he was alive.
I hope I don't sound horrible, but after reading many things that his son has posted/written he comes across as having some serious issues

Considering a few years back the London Metropolitan Police fought the BBC in court over copyright issues relating to the Police box (TARDIS) image and lost, I don't think this chaps claims will have much better luck

I'm pretty sure back in the good old days, when the BBC created an idea for a programme & employed all its own BBC contracted staff to develop initial ideas it was in the contract that the BBC were recognised as owners of that intellectual property. Otherwise Ray Cusick could have earnt a fortune for his Dalek design

Pretty much, yeah. Apart from some that 'slip through the cracks' like Nation and his idea of the Pepperpots and (I think?) Pedler for the C.Men.

Here's what annoys me.

In the credits no less they refer to the Tomorrow people as having the 3 Tees.

Teleportation, Telekenesis and Telepathy.

Here's the rub.

From episode one the hero of the story exhibits Temporalkenesis.

A fourth Tee.

Something like this is not misinformation, it's a sucky lack of internal dialogue.

Look at what fate of the medic 11 is called, and now face palm why people have been uploading files called HG Wells which you have been ignoring for the last 2 weeks.

Wouldn't it be great if Coburn Jr. could fabricate some claim to the sonic screwdriver? He could demand royalties from each instance of SM's overuse of it. If nothing else, it might make SM hesitate to whip it out quite so gratuitously.

Nothing could make him more hesitant to whip it out. But, credit where due, he write very few episodes in comparison to the number of other writers that also use it to solve everything.

The narration is referring to the 'Ts' they all have in common.

I'm simply not hearing that.


My name is Steven Jameson, I am one of the tomorrow people, the next step in human evolution, they call our powers the three ts, telepathy, telekensis and teleportation, there is a shadow war going on between us and ultra, an organization which hunts us, the only way to stop my species from going extinct is to find my father, and the only way to do that is to work for the enemy.

Before the pilot "they" would call it the three tees, but ater the pilot "they" would call it the four tees.

"They" who call the powers the three Tees are external of Steven, but Steven's monologue is external of the continuity in the show, but it is Steven talking about "our powers" which means that he is inclusive of the group's powers if the group is "our", therefore his expanded powerset is part of the group's combined definition of powers, and really did you think that there will never be any more temporalkenetics, or that 10 seconds after they saw Steven do what he did with time in the pilot, that both sides weren't trying to find another, or force another Tomorrow Person to exhibit those same abilities? Eventually some, most or all of them will be able to play with Time, it's the next step in evolution and that should delineate the poles in an evolved class stratification for the new new world order. Tomorrow People vs. Post Tomorrow People.

(Day after Tomorrow People?)

Funny how the next war for control of the planet might have already began before the last mundane species has been properly eradicated?

Ultra and the Tomorrow People must team up to stop all the freak mutant Day After Tomorrow People taking over the world!

Is anyone able to grab this so it can be downloaded and retained?

It is, in truth, nothing special. A brief chat about each of the eleven Doctors accompanied by a clip. No mention of the anniversary or Christmas specials, and no tantalising teasers about the Capaldi season ahead. In short it's like a high speed "Revisited" without any guests.

What I love, love, LOVE about the upcoming "anniversary" bash DotD is that they (looking at the trailers) left out all past Medics because they are too old and ugly for the young women who make up the vast majority of NuMedic's audience to look at, because they will gag at the sight of them. Instead, they put in Mr. Pain, who, I say without the slightest bit of irony (unlike the rest of this post), is a fine, fine actor, but apparently is not the least bit old and unpleasant to look at at all, and has every bit to do with the entire history of a show he's never been involved with.

To make up for my previous cynicism here is the Temporal Captives #11 comic.

Yeah it's a bit shite that they've not included any of the other docs, but I think you've just disproved your own theory there. Why ignore them when JH is just as old and ugly?

I think it maybe nearer the point that how would you explain their appearance now? (That's a rhetorical question, btw. I'm sure that at least several of us have ideas - myself included.)

It may also be a case of the classic series not being 'his baby' so, given the reports of his ego, as far as he's concerned just doesn't exist for him.

Or, he may surprise us all and all the surviving docs may turn up (not likely, but possible)

Damn you Looshkin, beaten to it while I was typing :D

Thank you November07

And JH looks exactly as he did, and fits into his classic costume just fine... Oh, wait... :p

Too bad for Mary tho', eh?

and here is some other news.

the 4th medic and the time lady mistress 2.0 are in the next 4th medic season!

oh yeah they have also recorded adaptation of 2 of the Missing Medic Books from Virginal Paperbacks

The Scotish way of Life and
The Courtship of Criminality

the book the Rudely Tempered Happiness Festival is being hoped for as well.

Too bad we won't see them for a while. The adaptations, already recorded, 2015. Lalla's season 5, recording now, 2016. Also, the adaptations will have a special edition version. More money from us collector's.

Just want to know if this is the scene for Children In Need or is there another scene?

Also if someone was lying about involvement, and we now know this for fact, what does that mean for the rest of them?

But The Night of The Doctor was just lovely, and if Moff can get it so right in 6 minutes, the 23 of November can't come quick enough

LC has just put up a download only sale on all the EDAs, DE, and the stories that introduce Charley and C**rizz in celebration of the minisode!

Presumably the BBC needed LC's permission to absorb their companions into canon?

For years LC has worked to protect their permission to use BBC-owned characters.
How would it feel for LC to be asked for permission that their own characters be referenced? I can only imagine:

PM is a brilliant Doc. Why oh why didn't the Beeb use him to continue as the medic, what a missed opportunity.

A cameo from CE at the end of the 50th for a regeneration scene would be the icing on a flippin great big cake.

Indeed it would. You know, aside from fan desire, using 8 makes a ton of sense. He is the only one we really don't know a lot about, or how long he was around. All story and audios aside, there is just nothing to indicate the number of actual in story years that pass. Many of the New episodes are fairly tightly woven. ('s were, at least. And having a human companion kind of sets the max time in any era, as they do not age enough to set a long-ish time. 11 Circumvents that by only occasionally visiting the Ponds or Clare. So there could be a TON of stories between. And quite a few between the Pond and Clara...

I think you misunderstand the relationship LC have with the BBC. They need permission from the BBC for each and every story, so that also covers them creating and using their own companions.

ROFL!!

I was going to wait until the 23rd to watch the mini episode, and then when you lot started leaking bit through I thought I was having my plonker pulled.
Had to watch and was absolutely amazed...so so happy credit has been given to pm

How nice it woud be for the BBC to do a series with him sort of a doctor look back, still we can only dream..In fact I'm sure thats what is happening right now and i'll probably wake up in a minute

Frakk that.

Movies.

Feature length movies.

SOOOOooooooooo....then this whole "The Doctors Revisited" bit with 8 needs to just be...err trashed then? Since it made NO mention of anything past the one movie. Nadda about thenovels, aidios or comics, let alone any hint of his fate....

from the moff....

Q: Finally, running a show like Doctor Who is always going to be hard work… But how much fun was it? Bringing back the Eighth Doctor?

SM: Oh, it was a complete treat! It was always frustrating that we never got to see more of him! The completist in me… the ‘box set man’ in me wants every box ticked and I wanted every regeneration scene! And we get to see the Paul McGann Doctor regenerate into the John Hurt Doctor! I love regeneration episodes – there’s nothing more exciting! And in the anniversary year we get to see two regenerations… That’s pretty cool!



So may ecclescake MAY make a brief regeneration cameo!!!

By "two regenerations", doesn't he mean (McGann -> Hurt) and (Smith -> Capaldi)? He would have had to say "three" for CE to be in there.
(Don't yell at me).

No. We may see three. But 8 into Hurt is 1, and 11 into 12 is 2. So if there are ONLY 2, then Hurt into 9 is not one.

I'm with Amanda, seriously doubt we see Hurt into Eccles.

I'm with Amanda, seriously doubt we see Hurt into Eccles.

But, we can but dream... who knows [no pun intended] what the next few weeks have in store for us?

Well, true. In a recent soundbite Eccles was asked about the 50th festivities. He said he had not been contacted, and that the show was a long time in his past now and means little. I dunno. Seems like TOO much of a denial. But within a little more than a week we shall all see.

BBC2 is in full swing tonight with Professor Brian Cox's Science Of Doctor Who at 21:00, followed by Buzzcocks Doctor Who Special hosted by Tennant, with Cribbins and Tate.

One thing I liked about the minisode I've always been bothered by the way the Doctor's regenerations these days are so much more dramatic than those of the classic series. This minisode gave us a reason for that change. From the way McGann was looking at his hands when it first happened, it was like he'd never seen it happen before, but by the time 9 turns into 10 he's used to the idea that "this is what my regeneration process is like now".

On the other hand, I did not like the way they had John Hurt. I get that they wanted to have a young John Hurt, and they didn't have the budget for a CGI Hurt (which probably wouldn't have looked good in any case), but the way they worked around it just drew attention to the fact that they were trying to work around that problem. And I didn't think it worked.

just watched the mini episode- FANTASTIC - def the best mini ever done- it was so much more than I could have hoped for- just full of unexpected treats

I'm never happy though - I want MORE of Paul McGann's Doctor ;-)

And, as much crap as we give LC here, I totally salute them for their years of backing #8 finally paying off.

Out of interest, when was that? He's also said he met with The Moff about doing stuff for the 50th and decided to not get involved

Yeah I recall him saying this year that it had been discussed and he had decided not to participate. I think we can really be 99% sure that he won't be in it.

Jeez. Redskutter is back for the first time in weeks and within seconds the discussion heads into - no below - the gutter. Says something, don't it?

Ok, I was kinda worried for a bit, but The Night of the Doctor has given me some hope that the 50th episode may not be all that bad.
If Day of the Doctor is a 10th of the awesome Night is, then I'll be quite happy. Especially if a few more unexpected pleasant surprises are thrown in.

Being in Canada, I was a bit disappointed to learn that my city is not showing the 50th in theatres on the 23rd. But I was quite elated to learn that it will be showing it on the 25th. So my dilemma now is, do I watch it on the small screen on Saturday, or wait a couple days to see it in 3D on the big screen? Not sure if i'll be able to wait, but it will have more of an impact if I was seeing it for the first time in theatres.

Hi all,
How fantastic was The Night of the Doctor?
If you haven't seen it yet, what the hell are you doing here?

As SM says he's a completist who wants to tick all the regenerations boxes, what does that mean about CE's arrival scene?

Also, just wondered if anyone is able to upload copies of the 'Evening' special with SM and the 'Science' special with PBC at some point....they would be much appreciated.

So If Mr Hurt is another regen does that mean all the others now move up one, 9 is 10, 10 is 11, 11 is 12 and 12 will be 13 and the last?? The end is being prepared for.

Oooh Cynical me.. lol

unless the regenerations has been reset, and Dr Hurt is the new Medic #1...

No, as announced JH is 8.5, the same way that the 'Watcher' is 4.5..... but we still have to deal with the Moffs comment of : "Re-count the regenerations", and the inconsistent canon statements of how many regenerations are possible, the line is: "12th and Last", not 12th and 13th.....

Is the Time War at the end of Gallifrey's history, or before Gallifrey's rebirth with the Hand, created by Omega, as the planet of 'Time Lords'?, remember we are dealing with constant time paradoxes for the last 50 years.... why can't the lone survivor go back and change the result... because the White Guardian wont let him, because the Key to Time is re-disbursed, because.......

moffatt said we'd missed something...so it's not hurt restarting the regens but...

the pandorica...the universe was reset, rory became human and the doctor was bought back by Amy...

not sure where I got this quote from:


"Gallifreyan Absolute Time"
Because of the transduction barrier around Gallifrey, Gallifrey always exists in "real time"
and when travelling to and from it, time passes as does "real time".
No one can travel to Gallifrey's past or future, only to its present which is the limit of future time as it exists.

in classic who, whenever the doctor was visiting Gallifrey, or encountered other time travelers, such as the Master or The Rani, it was always in chronological order.
but it has been never completely made clear what happens during a "time" war.
maybe with the transduction barriers down, paradoxes run rampant.
with gallifrey timelocked away, it sort of explains the encounters between the Doctor and River Song being out of order, even though she is also technically a Time Lord

No. If you look closely the TARDIS beams are straight, the ones in the wreckage have a angle in them. Plus, if you stand the ones up that are laid backwards, they match the shape of the gunship's corridor.

Yep, a good selection from Fig Binish, though it's a shame that they didn't bother to pick any of sixy's stories - some of which were the very best of the FB catalogue and all of which redeemed the reputation of that particular incarnation and the actor who played him.

Were the Beeb embarassed by their own bad treatment of him? Or were they annoyed at the rather public ejection of toys from pram delivered by CB over his non-inclusion in the Anniversary Special?

Yes, I can see it now.

For some reason it makes me feel better to know that I am not gazing upon the remains of such a lovely design simply for shock effect.

In order that my family of Nu-Whovians should properly appreciate The Night of the Doctor, I of course had to first sit them down to watch McGann's 1996 TVM.
Am I the only one who thinks that McGann sounds different in the 1996 TV movie from how he does in later and more recent performances? (See Doctor Who the movie part 4 - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHjxxSMgJhQ) for example, in which for a few seconds he almost sounds french to me). Does anyone know if he was affecting some particular regional accent? Or perhaps he was congested?

Sounds like the kind of detail appropriate to an audiophiles' thread.

I think he tried to 'lighten'/'soften' his voice a bit for the movie, and it's similar in some of the earlier LCs. As time progressed with those you can hear him relax more into his natural timbre. Compare and contrast his 1st with Ms P and his 1st with Ms M.

Also, I don't think think the soundtrack for the movie really captures his lower registers properly.

From the Beeb website:

One Direction will also be joining the party as they gate-crash the show live from LA to wish the Doctor a happy birthday.

This as well as age playing a part, as well as him simply wanting to play his Medic as being darker - thus the whole DE storyline.

I feel that gate-crashing sort of loses its whole believability when it is scheduled and announced ahead of time.

not sure if anyone touched on this or not:
with the references made within The Night of the Doctor
is this The Moff's way of saying that we can now consider much of the LC's audios as canon?

Hope you got it!!!!

Thanks goldie! I think i've figured out what that is but surprises are always good. :D
Sorry on the request tho, that's not one of the ones i'm considering purchasing.

First of all, thank you Goldie for providing the newest CC. Secondly, I too was floored when Eight reappeared. I thought it was a nice touch on Moffat's part to not only have him namecheck most of his LC companions, but also have his outfit be a compromise between his TV movie outfit and the more pragmatic look he adopted during "Murky Tabs". I also loved how meta his first line of dialogue was: "I'm a Doctor. But probably not the one you're expecting." In fact, it's comparable to a line my friend came up with if Eight was gonna show up in the actual 50th, where Eleven would've said to him "I don't recall being you very long." and Eight replies with "I preferred to be heard and not seen." The best part? My friend isn't even as big a Who fan as I am and has only seen a bit of Nine's stories. He IS a budding writer who really likes Joss Whedon's body of work, though.

not sure if anyone touched on this or not:
with the references made within The Night of the Doctor
is this The Moff's way of saying that we can now consider much of the LC's audios as canon?

They always WERE canon ...

but this is the first time they were acknowledged within the canon of the nu-who tv series

In light of the recent minisode, does anyone have an HQ (256+) copy of MgCann's Shardar?

They always WERE canon ...
Hear hear! :)

Thanks Goldie, what a star you are!

Per the LC website, the 8th Medic adventures are now all canon per the Beebs idea of what is and isn't canonical.

But yes, I would agree with the view that they always were - regardless of the stance of the Beeb.

cool. thanks goldie

For us novices, can anyone point me in the direction of a good ripper for EYE-PLAYER? Preferably a free one?

11 and Clara investigating things 'escaping' from paintings
A wibblywobbly vortex thing appears
11 says "this is where I come in" as he jumps into it
to meet 10 in a forest.

Today LC are really spoiling us. Missing adventure out tonight aswell!!!!

From the Beeb website:

One Direction will also be joining the party as they gate-crash the show live from LA to wish the Doctor a happy birthday.
zomg dat iz gona be awsome lol hope justin beibre wil be their to!!! XD i luv u harry OMG
Are they going to apologise for announcing 23 November as being "One Direction Day"?

Buggery bollocks.

I'm ten minutes form finishing downloading the whole children in need special!

But lo, It only took 20 seconds to download the you tube link.

any one got the new 7th medic audio yet if possible thank you

Ok, I was kinda worried for a bit, but The Night of the Doctor has given me some hope that the 50th episode may not be all that bad.
If Day of the Doctor is a 10th of the awesome Night is, then I'll be quite happy. Especially if a few more unexpected pleasant surprises are thrown in.

Being in Canada, I was a bit disappointed to learn that my city is not showing the 50th in theatres on the 23rd. But I was quite elated to learn that it will be showing it on the 25th. So my dilemma now is, do I watch it on the small screen on Saturday, or wait a couple days to see it in 3D on the big screen? Not sure if i'll be able to wait, but it will have more of an impact if I was seeing it for the first time in theatres.

I thought one of the main cinemas in Norwich were showing it and became very despondent when I found out they weren't..However I managed to find a small local run cinema in the city that is doing and managed to bag the last 2 3d tickets for me and my wifey. Really looking forward to it with massive antici..............pation


massive thanks to super goldie for another donation to our little community.

Hold yer horses, y'all. Dang!

That's all the giving I can give this month guys. Christmas is coming , gotta save the pennies. Over and out x

Got my tickets for 3d Medic at the picture house. Roll on the 23rd.

Thank you for the latest Goldie, please keep this one available until I can get to my computer Sunday night. Thanks again.

I had tickets to the O2 for it but when I went and watched gravity there on the sky screen, the same screen medic is showing on , it broke down 3 times . Apparently the server crashed. We ending up leaving and I canceled my tickets. I'd rather watch it at home than risk not seein it at all!!! Plus I have a 3d tele so it's not that bad!!!

Wow the chappy who does this chronological site for all the doctors is really on the ball, it feels as though 8th's time line is more complete now. I did always wonder if LC would do an episode with 8's demise but now we know

Can't argue with that, but I can't turn down the chance to see it on a huge cinema screen. The opportunity doesn't come round that often.

Well, with luck when PMcG decides it's time to hand in his set of keys to The Tardis the closing lines of his last story will be him setting co-ordinates to give aid to a crashing ship ...

That worked, thank you!

Just started listening to CC The Start, and I almost wet myself with squee when:




Susan could hear Clara and the Doctor talking outside the TARDIS! Didn't know there'd be a callback to Name of the Doctor.

I must have absolutely missed this.

I heard that was a late addition to the script following the airing of the episode. Same with the change in cover art.

Well the line was pretty vague but nice.

Thanks for the audio Goldie. I'm off to Collectormania today to hopefully meet some Whatians and get them to sign my TLATE box set. Sixey, eighty, the bus driving flower and the lady president are my main targets. And I totally loved the mini-sode, need to start a campaign for a Two Medics with eight and the new one (not sure what his number will be now!)

BTW - if you don't mind torrenting the buccaneer site has the minisode and the Science of Medic What in various formats. Also original season 5, serial 4 is on there too.

ah - but we sent Kylie AND Jason but we kept Craig McLachlan (Check out the Doctor Blake Mysteries). We kept the best one :P

No we didn't - Guy Pearce went to Hollywood (although he comes back every now & then)... :)

Very glad they did it, though - nice to have that continuity there...

Thanks goldie2012! :-)
