Davros1 posted:For "The Stolen Earth", when the Doctor and Donna arrived at The Shadow Proclamation, RTD's plan was for it to feature representatives of every alien that had been seen in the new series since the beginning ... and when the budget came back, it got cut down to a couple of Judoon. My uncle who works at the BBC says Chibnall’s problem is he writes tight coherent scripts that fail to spend all of the budget. So a bunch of random extra flashy nonsense has to get added at the last minute. (I don’t have an uncle who works for the BBC).

Sydney Bottocks posted:Another one I forgot is when she says "sawr" for "saw". If she was established as being from the Northeast, like NYC or Boston, that might be excusable. But since Peri's supposed to be from Pasadena...eh, not so much. One I caught on initial watch was the opening bits of Caves Of Androzani where she says the word "glass" in a British way.

I’ll never understand why JNT didn’t just hire an American actress. There’s loads living in the UK, working, going through RADA, etc.

My favorite "American" accents were in the BF story "Red Dawn". They kept pronouncing "NASA" as "Nassau"

Hahaha, that's great. I will stress yet again though that as somebody who really couldn't stand Adric, I did think he had a good dynamic with Tom Baker - his kind of dumb teenager stupidity kind of worked well with Baker's Doctor being worn down but still having such a dominating personality.

LividLiquid posted:Is it accountable to the government? I clearly have no idea how it actually works. Someone will probably explain it better than me, but they're essentially a public service. They have a charter to run TV and radio channels for every demographic of the UK; they're supposed to cater to everyone; they should be informative and entertaining to all walks of life, rather than just churning out the same thing that'd appeal to a specific group of people. And because they have this 'public service' aspect, they're allowed to effectively level a tax on the nation; you're required to have a TV licence to even use a television in your home, and the money that makes is a good chunk of what keeps them running (along with sales from things like DVDs and merch). This is why Brits will moan about 'I pay my licence fee for this poo poo?' and so on. It used to be that a certain percentage of what they show has to be made in-house too, rather than just filling airtime with syndicated shows from the US. I don't know if that's still a rule, or just a guideline. In return as well, this means BBC channels don't endorse products or make money from advertising; there's no ad breaks (other than to tell you what BBC shows are coming up later), and they go to great lengths to not have any product placement in their shows, replacing popular brands with generic products, or the brand will be removed - so people in Eastenders might be eating cornflakes, but it won't say 'Kelloggs' on the box. The closest US analog would be PBS; TV broadcast to be entertaining and educational, not for-profit, but there's none of the fundraising stuff or telethons to keep themselves on the air. e: So in terms of the government, they're not a state channel or anything, but they require the goodwill of the party in power to keep operating; if they were too outspoken about the Tories, for instance, you start getting rumblings about how they should be privatized or done away with. Effectively, they're supposed to be politically impartial, though that's not always been the case in recent years. Wolfechu fucked around with this message at 00:15 on Dec 23, 2021 |

Trying to build up a buffer now for when he gets overwhelmed  Edit: Also just want to stress again that It's A Sin was absolutely fantastic and well worth watching. It's only 5 episodes so it doesn't take long to get through and it's really, really, really good (and the final episode is a loving masterpiece).

LividLiquid posted:Thanks for the write-up. Some I knew, but I learned some new bits. But as for this one part, I will never understand how people think not being political is a real thing that's A.) desirable or B.) literally possible, but more likely it's all window dressing to conceal their actual hegemonic political stance of "old things good and therefore not political, new, confusing things bad and therefore political." No disagreement here on either count. In terms of being apolitical, that's what the BBC supposedly strives toward, and it might have even managed that at some point, but not in my lifetime. And the last few years have been even worse. Mind, they weren't alone on the Corbyn thing, the entire British media seemed to have their knives out for him from day one. At least Laura Kuenssberg is leaving, she's been the biggest Tory cheerleader in the BBC. Although I dread to think what we'll get in her place.

Laura Kuenssberg is currently the BBC's main voice talking about the Tory Christmas Party mess, which is weird because an unbiased news service wouldn't usually have someone who took part in the crime be their reporter on the crime.
