Big Mean Jerk posted:That Talons cover has the raddest 70's DW logo I've ever seen. That's from the US run of Doctor Who books in the mid-70s; I got the set for Christmas when I was 12 (in 1977! Eep!) They baffled me for a long time, because a coupe of them are 3rd Doctor stories with Jo, but since Tom Baker's was the only Doctor really known in the US/being promoted in the US at the time, they force-jam-crammed his attributes on top of Joe Pertwee's character. That series has an amazingly grumpy introduction by Harlan Ellison (praising Doctor Who and talking a lot of poo poo about Star Trek, not surprisingly).

Random Stranger posted:There's nothing that Harlan Ellison does that isn't amazingly grumpy. I realised even as I was writing it, 'Certain elements of this sentence are redundant.'

SimplyCosmic posted:I, for one, am still shocked that they managed to not only to convince Anthony Ainley to come back from the dead to play the Sheriff The first time the Sheriff appeared, I exclaimed, 'Holy gently caress, that's Anthony Ainley.' at the same time Mr Boods went, 'Holy gently caress, that's Ben Miller!' Ben, you know what you must do. And, yes, Robin made me miss Rik Mayall

Kin posted:Yeah, If it was Tennant or smith, the spoon fight would have been "oooh, look a spoon! ho ho ho, aren't i wacky lock at me fight you with a spoon, hA hAA!", but with Capaldi it was "i'm going to loving beat you with just this spoon you green tit". He is rather playing it as Third Doctor (action) + First/Sixth Doctor (grumpiness) + a touch of Malcolm Tucker. I'm amenable!

The Action Man posted:I'd love to see Capaldi in the Time Meddler with Craig Ferguson as the Monk. I've made no secret of my love of Craig Ferguson, so I'm backing this one.
