Apparently when the BBC saw the footage, they demanded a budget review, convinced JNT had somehow gotten hold of more money than they had allocated him. JNT showed them figures that demonstrated he had an annual budget of £2.5. Thus, their fears were realized, he really had gotten hold of more money than they'd allocated him.

Just goes to show how creative one can get when their budget is in fact literally a shoestring (aglets not included)

So this entire thing is a complicated delivery mechanism for somebody wanting this poor woman to dress in the worst costumes possible, right?

If you want a bit of fun, go to the Big Finish Twitter page, and read the first word of each tweet as you scroll down the timeline. Someone spent far too long setting it up, and it’s amazing!

Shakespeare Witches was a fun episode. LMAO at the JK references though, guess the Doctor hadn't been to the 20s at that point. Words being magic formulas works for me, and the way the space words and locations worked into the plays was amusing. Also love the deuce heart fake-out and Martha catching on so quick. I'm generally a "my favourite doctor/companion" are whoever I'm presently watching but I think Martha would be in my top 10 if I were forced to commit to a hierarchy.

I haven't tested a full run of any classic doctor yet, so I'm not familiar with him. If I finish newWho rewatch before newestWho I'll try and get some more classics in. So far I liked the companions I did meet, but also I think they show up in modern Who eventually which might be why I went to see an original. I love how the cat people in Gridlock all have that old-style werewolf felt-glued-to-face look. Khanstant fucked around with this message at 20:22 on Aug 1, 2023 |

I really won't! I'm sure "gently caress em" for it though. I want a life size Face of Boe prop for the living room. How far in advance was "teehee Timelords/Gallifrey aren't all gone after all" planned?

The series has too much history and loves dipping into it too much that it would be gone forever. But "planned" might be giving him too much credit. I doubt he had a plan beyond what villain he wanted to use for the finale story.

I didn't know anything about the production at the time, nor RTD, so funnily enough it was actually Gridlock that made me realise how much show history they were planning to bring back. Sure, big names like Daleks, Cybermen, Time Lords. But mentioning the Macra before Sontarans or the Master?

Hartnell: a man of his times, meaning he could be a bit racist/anti-Semitic sometimes Troughton: see above; one of his ideas for the Second Doctor was to play him as a pirate in blackface/brownface Pertwee: could be a bit egotistical at times, and also somewhat obsessed with money (per T. Baker) T. Baker: as the show went on, he basically became the Doctor and vice versa; as a result he became increasingly difficult to work with (though, it should be said, he did later make amends with some of the people he'd clashed with, like JNT; or that he'd treated poorly, like Louise Jameson) P. Davison: voiced an objection to casting a female Doctor when Jodie Whittaker was announced, and quit social media following backlash from fans about it C. Baker: from all accounts a lovely man to work with, have never read a bad word about him from anyone S. McCoy: same as C. Baker P. McGann: same as C. Baker and S. McCoy

T.Bakes seems to have made amends with pretty much everyone he pissed off at this point and has mellowed into the cool mad slightly irascible but very lovable great uncle you might hope he'd be. He even gets on with Lalla Ward now

Yeah, that's my understanding as well, my guess is that their having been romantically involved (and married) made it a lot more difficult than just apologizing and being friendly.

I appreciate all the conversation about Tom Baker's behavior on and after the show, but following CobiWann's joke I was doing a bit about the story from Tom Baker's biography where he and his friends all jerked off in a circle.
