Who knows. Who.... nose.

I just remember watching Day of the Doctor and after all If I could erase one thing from my brain so I could experience it again fresh, DotD is probably it.

I'm so glad I forgot that Tom had said beforehand that he was in it.

I mostly managed to avoid all spoilers ahead of time so I had no idea. Even if I'd read it though I probably would have figured it was Tom being Tom and just because he said it was no guarantee he'd actually be in it. Ironically the one "spoiler" I did see that stuck with me was Peter Davison photographed outside the BBC holding up a sign protesting not being in the episode, which (of course) ended up being part of The Five-ish Doctors which was also brilliant.

I'm not opposed to having a backstory for the Master, but I hate this scene specifically because RTD has Martha lampshade the idea of dumb origin stories by asking "Is he your secret brother or something?" and the Doctor answering, "No, it's nothing so cliche as that, it's something equally cliche!"

https://twitter.com/LeeBinding/status/1083664647604060161?s=19 I never realised the TARDIS key used in the TV Movie was based on an earlier design. I always thought the key was emblematic of how Philip Segal & co. sometimes missed what to me is the point of DW (the sci-fi whimsy comes from it being a regular old house key and not an ornate space key*), but that's apparently not entirely fair (though it's still true). * Seven gets a pass in this because it's Seven

One Tardis key scene I liked was in the 2011 Christmas special, where the 1930s housewife jimmies it open with a hairpin, a gag I liked a little less when it turned out to be just a regular old police box

Sure, they always include the Christmas (/New Year's) special with the next season, don't they? The only exception was "Time of the Doctor" not being included with season eight; it had a separate release alongside the other three Matt Smith Christmas specials instead.

Wheat Loaf posted:Sure, they always include the Christmas (/New Year's) special with the next season, don't they? In most cases, yes, which I almost always found annoying as the Xmas Special generally felt like an extension of the season just completed. It's doubly annoying this time since the New Year's Special aired like 3 weeks after the finale episode of series 11 did. At least in the past there was the excuse of,"We want the boxset out in time for people to buy it as a Christmas gift" but they didn't even have that excuse this time.

Probably stands out the most with Last Christmas and Twice Upon A Time, which are absolutely the finales of the preceding series. Although thinking about it, Magician's Apprentice would still kind of work if you went to it straight from Death In Heaven. Still though

I’m on to the Reign of Terror. I don’t much care for the scarlet pimpernel stuff but pretty much everything the Doctor does is great. Particularly when he dresses up as some senior revolutionary official.

Today I learned that Tom Baker was apparently very embarrassed about his performance as Captain Rum in Blackadder II to the point where he said he should have had his Equity card taken from him and cut up for it. Furthermore, he apparently got on very poorly with Rowan Atkinson, who disliked the way he was playing the part, and skipped the episode's wrap party because he expected Atkinson was going to give him the cold shoulder the whole night. I'm pretty disappointed to have discovered this.

Sometimes I get the impression Atkinson doesn't understand comedy at all, did he hate Rik Mayall when he chewed the scenery too? Blackadder was immeasurably improved when they threw in panto-of-the-week, just so he has something to react to.

The mystic powers of the YouTube™ Algorithm™ recommended a video to me where the (former) child who designed the Absorbaloff looks back on his experience. It was nice to hear he was actually super-jazzed to see it on-screen (and wasn't dissappointed by it not being the size of a bus as I've heard before) and wasn't too put off by the Absobaloffs of the world making fun of his childhood design.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk1osqIUNpo

Would've liked to have seen more; I believe it was very purposefully meant to be a replacement for Poirot and I'm surprised they didn't keep it going.

Nobody talks about Planet of Giants but it’s one of my favourite Hartnells. It’s a fun story with charmingly terrible special effects. I’m onto Dalek Invasion of Earth now which is also very cool and good.
