whatsabattle posted:The internet tells me that Alex Kingston and John Barrowman are already part of that universe. Kingston's most recent appearance was great. She got to listen to the heroine's (her character's daughter) "I will get VENGEANCE for my dead loved one!" speech and instead of going "They wouldn't want that!" got to basically say  "FUCKIN' MURDER 'EM SWEETIE!"

I'm fairly sure they're holding back the rest of the episodes until 2016 because they don't know who from the cast they can get except Barrowman. Hell, that means they may not even know WHEN the audios will be set.

After The War posted:Those boobs are an American rite of teenage passage. Not just American. I got them in 4th year English here in the UK too. (For the 'read the play aloud' stuff we didn't do that for Shakespeare. We did it for Tennessee Williams instead. Me, the girl who 'played' Blanche and the girl from Glass Menagerie and the one dude in our class who was super-into theatre were the only ones who tried the accents)

And they all worked during Six's run. And also Bob Holmes wrote some episodes as well.

Wheat Loaf posted:Did anyone ever see the episode of Highlander where Anthony Head plays an American diplomat in France, and uses an American accent for the whole episode? It was pretty Denisof also did a Highlander, with his natural accent (which is odd, considering he was in one of the Paris episode, and so must've been when he lived over here) as a rich dude's junkie son who was friends with MacLeod. But yeah, Tony Head is p. bad at American.

whatsabattle posted:The all time worst Buffy related accent (besides Drusilla. And Kendra.) was Glenn Quinn's fake American accent on Roseanne. Which made all the complaints about his 'terrible' Irish accent on Angle hilarious. I'm not sure anyone in America has ever heard an Irish person, let alone met one.

Rochallor posted:The Curse of Davros isn't a classic but it's a good deal of fun. It's a good romp, and for a good portion of the story the Doctor and Davros swap brains. (Not really a spoiler, it's one of the biggest parts of the story.) Spoiler is also exceedingly obvious in the first episode, which makes the build to the 'reveal' really anti-climactic.

It's a corner they're forced into, though. If you're told 'you can have the monsters from the new show, but not the Doctor/companions, then you HAVE to use the Angels, considering they're the only mainstay the new series has created.

Barry Foster posted:Perhaps it's just because he's already familiar as the Doctor, but Sly kills it in that audition and the other two are complete crap. I mean, I know that was the point, but still, the disparity is pretty remarkable. JNT and Sylv and the rest are pretty much spot-on about the problem. If there's one constant with the Doctor, it's animation. There hasn't really been a Doctor that's utterly laid back. Even Tom at his spaciest was very energetically spacey.

Barry Foster posted:Peter Davison (He Who May Be Kissed) was pretty laidback. You definitely get the impression he'd rather just have a nice quiet time playing cricket or looking at cool space stuff, rather than having to deal with adventuring and a TARDIS full of kids I disagree, Peter's enduring image in my head is the jacket whipping around and him breathlessly giving an encouraging speech. The_Doctor posted:Capaldi isn't super energetic, but he is like a terrier. Not a lot of movement in body, but the spirit is strong and frenetic. I don't even mean necessarily that the Doctor dashes about, just that those other actors are delivering the lines very languidly. Capaldi would be angry on the 'smoke' line, Tom would be giggling, Matt or Pat would likely spin around until they were dizzy, or at least till the baddie thought they were. EDIT: Also, late to the party, but I saw T5: Too Many Tyrmen8ors today. And yep, Matt's character is barely in it, but is super-important considering he plays Skynet itself, his accent is all over the place, though. I think he went Scottish for a line at one point. I appreciated that while they obviously used time-travel to render the TV show impossible, they threw in a couple of nods to it, it seemed. And Emilia Clarke was very much trying to channel Linda Hamilton in a few scenes, but that did kind of draw attention to the fact that she has a more normal starlet physique, compared to how ripped Hamilton got for T2. Which shouldn't matter, as they don't give her much in the way of hand-to-hand stuff compared to Hamilton, but then why try and evoke her? JK Simmons and Arnie are probably the best things in it. Well, and the T-1000 Gaz-L fucked around with this message at 23:37 on Jul 3, 2015 |

Bicyclops posted:Ten minutes of Derek Jacobi simply scowling and yelling at the inadequacy of everyone, shortly before Missy rolls her eyes and erases his memory, sealing it in a fob watch. I'm actually listening to Jacobi play the Doctor's antecedent right now. Amazon/Audible got him to do the audio versions of most of the Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes stories, and he's wonderful. His Watson is dignified but amazed-sounding, Holmes drips with sarcasm whenever the police are around. You'd swear there was a full cast involved, bar when any women are around.

I will say one idea that I'm pretty sure is going to disappoint everyone here if true, but was the first thing I though on seeing that trailer: Maisie Williams is probably playing Clara. She's wearing the orange spacesuit that Coleman's shown in earlier in the trailer, and while she doesn't sound especially Northern, that 'old man' crack would be very in character.

It'll be awhile before I finish the season yet, but it was so reminiscent of the way that Charlie left that I think the Eighth Doctor is going to develop a complex. Oh, jeez, if you think that's gonna gently caress him up psychologically...
