Maybe it's meant to take the place of the Sarah Jane Smith adventures? I wonder if Ian will cameo. Who the gently caress is going to be the main cast though. ...I swear to God if it's Clara's class from Forest I will not be a very happy person

The only thing I've read of Patrick Ness is his contribution to the 50th anniversary short story collection, "Tip of the Tongue," which was fantastic and by far the highlight of that little project, so if he wants to do a show I say go for it. He does an amazing job of writing believable young adolescents.

I'm guessing Jenna Coleman is going appear in Class at least as a recurring character after she leaves Doctor Who. Unless, of course, she gets a bad ending when she leaves, like Rose, Donna, and Amy/Rory got. In addition, there's going to be a compilation on Blu Ray of the ten Christmas specials. EDIT: There's already a TV show called Class. It's a sketch show on CBBC. One hand does not know what the other hand is doing! Edward Mass fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Oct 1, 2015 |

She's been wanting to leave the main show practically since she signed the contract so there's no way she will stick around for a kids orientated spin-off.

That press release is full of typos and misspellings - reading it you'd almost think they were NOT announcing The 8th Doctor Adventures starring Paul McGann as the 8th Doctor. I hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

Rat Flavoured Rats posted:What's your basis for saying this? Has she said as much? I can't remember where I read it, but the scuttlebutt is that she wanted to leave the show after Matt left, under the principle that she didn't know if she could work as well with another actor. Then halfway through the Capaldi season she decides its a fun gig after all and likes working with him, leading into the wait-no-shes-staying bit of Last Christmas. The weirdest thing about Coleman is that in most of the interviews about the show I've seen her in, she looks uncomfortable while doing it. There was a bit of an interview after the Death In Heaven 3D show with her and Capaldi, and her I-Don't-Wanna-Do-This was palpable. Granted, it was Wil Wheaton gushing at the two of them for ten minutes, so I can understand why, but drat. In a completely different track, my rewatch of random episodes of NewWho made me realize something: the 10th Doctor really needed his own unique TARDIS look. The grungy coral look worked for Nine, the vibrant almost-child-like color scheme worked for the Ameila-Focused 11, and the colder metal one worked well for post-Pond 11 and the more older 12. But 10? 10 got Nine's TARDIS look which didn't work for a Doctor who was basically having a midlife crisis. MisterBibs fucked around with this message at 03:37 on Oct 2, 2015 |

I find it baffling that my friend who loves David Tennant and loved Donna.... isn't that excited about the news about the audios. I thought for sure that news would sell her on the idea, but she's just not that interested in audio stories. But it's still Tennant and Tate returning to those roles for new stories!

Of all the potential spinoffs they could've done... ugh. But if Patrick Ness is writing it, at least there's a chance it'll be worth watching. His YA book A Monster Calls is fantastic.

Its on BBC3 which isn't aimed at Children but has a remit to provide "innovative content" for 16-34 year olds whatever that means - although I'm in that range and have never watched the thing and no one I know does which suggests that it might not be totally successful. It does suggest something more down the Torchwood route (that started out as a BBC 3 thing) though I think it might be some weird mix of the two. Its meant to go online only at some point thanks to BBC budget cots; so this thing might be one of the first new commissions for an online-only BBC service. It'll still probably be poo poo though Also what's this poo poo about someone stealing the third episode of Web of Fear, and why am I only hearing about it now?

Audio dramas do require a little more clarity/attention- it generally doesn't matter if I can't quite make out the lyrics of a song, but if I miss some key dialogue in an audio play that's more of an issue- but it's not hard to find the time to listen.

Doctor Spaceman posted:Different medium have different structural conventions, different strengths and weaknesses, and different methods of audience interaction. I like comics and I like opera, but I'm not going to suggest either of those have universal appeal. Right, but if you had a friend who you didn't think would like opera, but they loved two specific actors who were doing an opera together... would you not recommend it to them? That's more what I meant by blanket-dislike, like, not even giving a medium a chance even if it is presenting something that would appeal specifically to you. I'm not saying that everyone should like every medium.

If I'm not doing anything else while listening to them I get bored, and if I am doing something else I get distracted by whatever that is. Try working out while listening. If you are commuting listen to audios either in the car or in the bus/train.

Hey thread, weird question. My friend and I run an amateur tv podcast. She's never really seen much Doctor Who so we want to do a thing where we watch one of the best episodes of the revival, and then one of the worst. Right now I'm thinking along the lines of The Eleventh Hour and Love & Monsters. Any other suggestions?

Roach Warehouse posted:Hey thread, weird question. I'm not sure The Eleventh Hour is necessarily one of the best episode of the revival: Matt Smith hadn't quite found his stride yet and it felt like Moffat was still struggling with tone and pacing too. It is a great jumping on point for newcomers, however. The series 5 Christmas special, A Christmas Carol was a pretty stellar episode of Doctor Who that doesn't need much context for an outsider.
