Good Omens remains one of the only books by either Pratchett or Gaiman that I haven't read but I'm not sure why.

It's pretty good, you should give it a go. I'm still slightly disappointed they didn't go with Heap/Serafinowicz from the radio adaptation, but this is pretty close to what I thought they both looked like.

Tennant looks like Bill Nighy doing try hard. Sheen looks like a 5th Doctor cosplayer. Both look terrible.

Since you mentioned Bill Nighy, it's strange seeing Michael Sheen in Underworld movies then seeing him in pretty much everything else he's been in. He's playing a wee bit against type in those ones.

Will Tennant be using his own accent do you think? I suspect he'll be going estuary again.

Tennant will reach into his shallow acting bag, and do something in the small gap between Ten and Kilgrave.

Yeah, when I first saw it announced it didn't specify who was who and I genuinely wasn't sure, I'm also not sure this was the best way around. I know this thread has crossover with the McElroy thread so has anyone listened to Travis's new DW podcast? Is it any good?

RECASTING but mostly positive. A couple of the writers chime in as well. What's cool about these forums is you get actual people who work on the audios speaking in an unofficial capacity.

Tennant will reach into his shallow acting bag, and do something in the small gap between Ten and Kilgrave. Tennant's kind of reaching a typecasting problem, I think. He's probably got a decent range, but if he's cast for something you know it's for a fairly narrow section of that range. And he's good at what he's being cast as, but it means you've got a pretty clear idea what you're getting right away.

He's great in Broadchurch and that's not much like Ten or Kilgrave. I liked him in Blackpool too but that was a bit more similar.

Yep, never going back there. The trick is to tune out all the annoying people. It really is a good place for in depth BF discussion, even more than we do. Particularly of other ranges. And you get actual BF creatives chiming in with behind the scenes stuff, which is cool.

I don't know this for a fact, but I suspect that Tennant deliberately played Kilgrave as very similar to the Tenth Doctor. Like others have said, it's certainly not that he can't do anything else.

Cerv posted:you can't watch his Hamlet and say he's got no range. I'm an uncultured monster who hasn't seen him in anything but Who and Jessica Jones, yeah. I know he's good in other things, and I know he has better range than he gets to show in the stuff I've seen with him, I just haven't seen them! And yeah, he deliberately played Kilgrave like Ten. Apparently he didn't come in with that intention or goal, but he tried it and it worked VERY well.

Kilgrave is similar to Ten, but I don't think he played him exactly the same way. The open disdain and malignancy of Kilgrave involves some of the same intonation as the self-righteous indignation of Ten, but it's not "the Tenth Doctor, except callous" exactly. He's really good in Broadchurch, though. I wish they'd let him use his natural accent more often.

Astroman posted:I think the idea of Turlough (shady alien with a mysterious past is inserted into the TARDIS as an anti-Doctor sleeper agent, comes around and turns out to be a noble from his home planet whose side lost a revolution) is a lot better than it was executed. As with so many things at the time (Nyssa's tragic story with her father). A plot like that could be far better realized now, and his motivations and character could be kept consistent and develop. Turlough had one job. It was cowardly leering at everything, and he did it well.

It's the theatrical arrogance that lets you play the Doctor and the Purple Man as basically the same dude. They both want not just to achieve their goals, but for everyone around them to applaud them for how amazing they are for doing so.

Volume 4 of New Adventures of Benny (the second with David Warner's Unbound Doctor) and the True Stories short story collection about Benny in the Unbound universe are both out over at Big Finish. Been pretty keen for both.
