I'm an idiot who can't keep track of what I've already bought, so I now find myself with extra Region 2 copies of The Ice Warriors and Web of Fear. Any US goons interested for $10 each (shipping included)?

Jerusalem posted:There's some delightfully weird stuff in there, this is probably the moment that stands out most to me though: What I love is that it combines stuff like this with showing aspects of (early) Cyber civilization, including cyberblimps. That panel in the last one scared the gently caress out of me as a kid, though.

The_Doctor posted:Haha, wow Does anyone remember that "Doctor Who Old vs New" video that made the rounds a few years ago which derided RTD for introducing "love" and "drama" to Doctor Who while taking out "death" and "serious issues"? I think the guy who made it later went on to do this animated Third Doctor video which was pretty good. If that was made today, it'd no doubt be all like, "The Slitheen are baby-faced monsters who fart a lot because MOFFAT IS AN IDIOT."

Their reasoning is dodgy but there was certainly a deep current of opposition to the TVM at the time, due to it being a "bastardised American pastiche" (or whatever)

MrL_JaKiri posted:Their reasoning is dodgy but there was certainly a deep current of opposition to the TVM at the time, due to it being a "bastardised American pastiche" (or whatever) My eight year old self thought the TV movie was great when it aired. Well, aside from the half-human thing. I still regard Paul McGann as "my" Doctor after discovering Big Finish. Night of the Doctor was the best thing ever. The revival series has gotten some weird reactions from my friends. More often than not those that dislike it cite watching the first three-ish episodes of Eccleston's run and stopping there. I generally recommend Season 5 as a better jumping-on point if they didn't like the extreme camp that Season 1 got into in a few episodes. Bicyclops posted:Also: it's terrible!!

We certainly dodged a bullet with the TV Movie not getting picked up for a regular series, since their proposed storylines sounded pretty loving awful. But the TV Movie itself? Outside of a few silly elements (like the Doctor being half-human) it's pretty solid, McGann was great casting, plus it's a really nice farewell to McCoy who got to wrap up his time as the character.... or so he thought pre-Big Finish! Anyway long story short I'm gonna go ahead and assume that Facebook group is a parody and everybody involved is in on the joke apart from Ian Levine.

The TVM's plot is a little wonky (just a bit too much to cram into one movie), but it got the atmosphere right, the characters and banter were fun, and it's still really good looking for a TV movie. Lots of clever cinematography and good edits (the climactic montage being particularly brilliant. "That's all the time we have.")

The NA have an ok hit rate for what they were, low budget spin offs from a low budget and formerly popular show from the previous decade, written by random fans.

But enough about the 2005 revival  It's actually kind of cool that this show has survived long enough that people who loved it as kids could grow up to write for or, heck, be, the Doctor.

Rhyno posted:This would be BBC mini series that airs while the main series is off the air right? No no, the BBC mini series starring Paul McGann will be the unheard adventures of 8/Charley, 8/Lucie etc, all taking place between particular Big Finish stories. Big Finish will then figure out a way to fit in stories BETWEEN the TV stories that fit in between their original audios. But there will be a strict no C'Rizz policy.

I would watch a full season of Doctor Who in which the Master is an only vaguely reformed companion of the Doctor, who constantly has to learn lessons, and then betrays the Doctor at the end of the season, but the Doctor expected it all along. They could look wistfully at each other throughout the whole thing and have freshman-level philosophy discussions. This would have worked best with the screamy Tennant version of the Doctor, but Capaldi is talented enough that he could pull it off. I still don't want them looking for their dad, Ulysses, though, even it turned out to be James Joyce.

On that note, I had an idea for a ratings-grabber once: the Doctor and the Master both regenerate at the same time, and only they know which is which. We spend a whole series with both traveling in the TARDIS, and in the finale they reveal which one is the Doctor. Does it make sense? Not really, but I have to get this idea out there when/if Chibnall steals my idea.

At the end of season 3 where the Doctor proclaims that the Master is his responsibility and will be his prisoner on the TARDIS, I had one fleeting beautiful moment where I thought they might actually do a season of Tennant/Simm as a bickering guard/prisoner traveling through space/time while the Doctor tries desperately to reach/rehabilitate the Master who for his part is constantly either trying to escape or gently caress things up just to make life tougher on the Doctor

Simms was honestly my least favorite Master, but I still would have watched the hell out of it. Tennant's preachy nature is what makes it work. Colin Baker also could have done it (I know everyone is going to say Five, but it just seems like too much more of the same).
