I can't remember the episode off the top of my head, but there's at least one Patrick Troughton one where he addresses the audience (not part of the episode; it was shown prior, I think) to tell the kiddies that this week's episode is really scary, and their mums and dads might get really scared, so they might want to take hold of mummy or daddy's hand to reassure them. :3:

I've never heard of it before and I seriously doubt it exists.

It's not part of an episode; sorry my memory's shoddy but I seem to recall reading it years back -- it was something done up to be shown prior to one of the episodes. Now I've got to look it up because it's driving me batty trying to remember where I read it. It was probably in one of those celebration books from yonks back, but it stuck with me.

As Twisted Perspective mentions, it probably doesn't exist alas.

Still, the WNJS footage of PT calling Colin Baker Miss Piggy still survives, and that's fine by me.

Found the reference! Yay, it had to do with Web of Fear of all things

John Hurt has the best voice. I just want a series of him talking technobabble.

There are passages from Suetonius and Dio Cassius related to Caligula that I would dearly love to hear him read (especially when Caligula replies to his sister, suffering in exile on his order, 'I have swords as well as islands, you know.') :allears:

My question is, why didn't they address that issue of the Zygons leaving behind their pet dog in Loch Ness? :scotland:

I keep reading a whole load of bullshit about how The Master slipped through with the regenerations and is inside The Doctor, thus messing him up/asking if he's a good man, and that there'll be some sort of biological meta-crisis type event again where he'll syphon off into a new body.

Episode 3: Robin Hood with evil robots working alongside the Sheriff. The Doctor uses a spoon to fight Robin Hood and the two of them compare dicks for the rest of the episode.



Having not read the scripts or seen any casting information, I am holding out hope that, at the very least, Robin was Rik Mayall's last role before his sad death recently.

They wasted Timothy Dalton as Rassilon. He would have been a great foil for Capaldi Doc as Master. Two ornery old guys going at it. Could also make it comical. The BBC version of Grumpy Old Men.

Sure, why not, it all makes sense: it was probably the Rani who produced the quick-growing trees with some leftover tree-land-mines, and that's why you didn't see anyone else in London. :tinfoil:

You can make arguments for any of the above. eg. Missy is Adric: After surviving the crash of the freighter in Earthshock, Adric became obsessed with the people the Doctor let die during his adventures.

If she regenerate into Susan, I will be more unreasonably angry at a television show that a rational adult should be.

I'm :corsair:, and been watching/enjoying the show for 40+ years now, since I was a little boodlets, and the Clarification of the show's history/context/background/whatever over the past three years has been irksome.

Oh god; I hope they aren't making CGI doubles of Ainley and Delgado. Tarkin was barely out of the uncanny valley, and the BBC Mill doesn't have nearly the experience that ILM does.

If the budget is tight, maybe they'll recreate one or the other using a Thunderbirds-style puppet with the Master supplying absolutely no explanation for how he ended up in that state.

Interesting that Steven Toast's name hasn't been mentioned amongst the candidates for next Doctor, like how hes never mentioned for the James Bond role even though hes auditioned for it.

He's already been in Doctor Who and was disillusioned by the experience.
