Sydney Bottocks posted:I'm not the world's biggest NuWho fan, but the buildup to the Master's return in Utopia, featuring that signature Ainley cackle, is by far one of my favorite DW moments of all time. "What about now? Can he see it now?" God that scene was so loving good. It's easy to overlook because Jacobi's right there being incredible, but Freema Agyeman's shocked little physical recoil when she sees the writing on the fobwatch is

This is basically unrelated, but if they ever try to make an American Doctor Who again they should let Michael McKean play The Master.

Don't think much of Bill's bit, but it was nice to hear from Nardole. It was also quite nice when Bill started talking about the Doctor, and my brain suddenly kicked in and remembered the woman with pretty eyes she brought up apropos of nothing

Kill the Moon and Forest are in a different category for me because they’re definitely bad but you can kinda see what they were trying to accomplish. LotTL is like if someone purposely chose the dumbest possible solutions to every single plot beat in their script, but tried to hold them up as celebratory and genuinely inspiring. You spend the entire episode just aggressively rolling your eyes at every single moment and line of dialogue until they give up and fall into the back of your head. And, to make matters worse, the only slightly redeeming part of the episode (SimmMaster gleefully dancing around and taunting Tennant to “I Can’t Decide”) has been cut out of the available streaming version, presumably due to rights issues.

I believe this scene's been cut from some broadcasts for longer than it would've been a rights issue. I think the general guess for a while, at least, was that the shot of the Doctor being treated like a dog might've been a bit too much.

Between that and the ending of the episode, I found myself wondering if this was all just Rusty's subconscious telling the world that he really wishes he could gently caress Jesus. Though on the bright side, it does open up the question of which three Doctors the various Masters would choose for gently caress/Marry/Kill.

I thought it was more that LOTTL was longer than average and needed editing to fit the 45 minute slot - while one of the good bits of the episode, it is something which can be removed for time without affecting the episode.

That sucks. Seems like a Top Gear style situation where shows that air on BBC can go crazy with music-use and then get butchered when they are shown elsewhere.

this might be interesting. I have to admit Hulke's not one of the names I'm immediately familiar with from the old days. the live stream is early morning for the yanks sorry. doesn't seem to say if it'll be available after. https://www.wcml.org.uk/whats-on/events/online-talk-doctor-who-and-the-communist-the-writing-and-politics-of-malcolm-hulke/ quote:Online talk, 'Doctor Who and the Communist: the writing and politics of Malcolm Hulke'

He's one of the more interesting writers from the third doctor era, I reckon, and, after Robert Holmes, definitely the most influential. He pretty much defined NA continuity with Colony in Space and Frontier in Space. Cool dude.

Senor Tron posted:That sucks. Yeah, the BBC has some extremely old and generous arrangements over using licensed music that can cause issues with airing shows internationally. I'm not sure if that specifically applies to Last of the Time Lords, but wouldn't be surprised. Hell, I think there are still rights issues in some markets with showing The Chase due to the clip of the Beatles in the first episode.

I remember hearing that a big reason it took so long for QI to get international airplay (it even took years to air in Australia, and Australia loves importing British comedy) was actually rights issues with the images they project onto the back screens. I'm not sure if that's true, but it wouldn't surprise me.

I've got a week of holiday at the moment that's been ruined by lockdown, so I've been using the time to take the plunge on going through telesnap reconstructions of the missing episodes. I'd expected to find them a huge struggle to watch, but it turns out I've actually got a surprisingly high tolerance for them. Admittedly I've been very selective in which ones I've watched so far and there are still several ones left that I'm wary about. I 'watched' The Highlanders yesterday expecting it to be a real slog. I had no idea that it's actually four straight episodes of the Doctor clowning on everyone, with occasional breaks for Ben and Polly to go clown on people instead. The only big trouble I had was the fight sequence in ep 4 that's just alternating static images of Jamie and the slaver guy over sounds of swords clanking. It felt like that part went on forever. There are definitely rough parts to even the best telesnaps and I wouldn't judge anyone for not getting on with them, but I would recommend for people to at least give one a go to see how you feel.

If I remember right, The Highlanders is the one where the Doctor goes from being interrogated to convincing his interrogator to willingly let the Doctor knock him out by slamming his head against a wall or something, right?
