Like congrats Ian, you got one member of Ultravox and a guy from Starlight Express. Be fair, he did try to get Elton John and Holly Johnson (from Frankie Goes to Hollywood), but he had to settle for Justin Hayward from the Moody Blues and Bobby G from Bucks Fizz.

Bicyclops posted:I don't think Davies did the "Every Doctor is also out there" thing to be the coolest or whatever. I think he was just trying to open the door wide open for prior Doctors and companions to do televised adventures and not have to care about their age, because a huge corporation drove a dumptruck full of money up to Cardiff, he's as much of a Doctor Who nerd as some of us are, and he wants to see Colin Baker yell a monologue at a sun if the revival is popular enough to warrant some kind of "prior Doctors" anthology spin-off. I'm sorry, but if you'll allow me to toot my own horn a little bit, I speculated this ITT a few weeks ago: Matinee posted:The mistake is thinking of the doctors by their number. The thing is....

Dylan Moran has thankfully turned out to be basically fine and has no truck with "cancel culture" nonsense (unless something has changed since this interview): https://www.telegraph.co.uk/comedy/comedians/comedian-dylan-moran-panel-show-circuit-rigged-game/ Tl;dr: he refuses to be drawn on general culture war bullshit, and says that Graham Linehan is not "cancelled" but instead expressed his opinion and everyone else gets to respond to that opinion.

The list of names on the wiki page for the song is hilarious. Two whole members of Matt Bianco? WOW IAN!

For someone like the Doctor, you visit as soon as the TARDIS is ready, but for, say, the Meddling Monk, they're lucky if I even send a card for their latest regeneration's First Communion.

Dylan Moran should play the doctor. The last time I suggested a doctor casting on here it was Peter Capaldi so this will definitely happen.

I accidentally watched one of those movies and it kind of required me to already be invested in the world and characters, then I tried watching the series but it's all since slipped away from memory. I think I might've just ended up starting this current Who rewatch.

In fact I definitely remember an old video or article that went through a whole What If thing picking American actors from the same eras for each of the Doctors and Wilder was one of the better picks. Anyone remember that?

The odd thing is I'm not sure an American Doctor works wholesale - I could absolutely imagine a version of the show that was American but in a sense it is so tied up - for good and ill - with various Britishisms. Incidentally, I'll speak for the area of these islands I know quite well and say that I'd like to see the Isle of Man appear in Who! I'm not sure I could name any Manx actors though.

Ya know, I've noticed a lot of people have been bringing up issues with the bigeneration because they feel it hurts Ncuti. I also see that a lot of the individuals bringing up the concerns are black. This includes a friend of mine. And I can't help but notice that the concern seems to be rather "tut-tutted" in a lot of places I go to online. Reddit, especially. More than once I saw someone try to lecture that "black people aren't oppressed in Britain and it's all about classicism," which is not true. There is a lot of racism in Britians. Seems a little gross how the concern is not really being addressed. Feels almost like the kind of behavior that would push people away. That's just my feelings, but it something I've seen a few times. Just one example is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/gallifrey/comments/18g5hh2/spoilers_as_a_black_whovian_the_introductions_of/

That's just my feelings, but it something I've seen a few times. I took a look at that and found what I thought was something very interesting: Among their other points, the OP of that reddit thread thought it was rather demeaning for the first black Doctor to be walking around wearing no pants (e: or trousers for our UK friends, since "pants" apparently means "underwear" over there ), just a shirt and underwear. This was followed by roughly a zillion thirsty posts of people dismissing the OP's point by talking about how hot they think Gatwa is. To a certain extent (though not nearly as bad, thankfully), much the same thing happened in this subforum, with people commenting on the actor's attractiveness.I can't help but think this absolutely would not have been considered an acceptable reaction if that had been how Jodie Whittaker's Doctor was introduced.
