There are so many dreadfully terrible women working in British television (my girlfriend watches a LOT of British cooking and reality shows) that I'd be worried who Chibnall would choose. What I really want is some insanely ballsy casting. Like two midgets in a long coat.

Weren't netflix using unrestored versions for some reason? I can remember going to watch the Aztecs on it a wee while back and they certainly were using a version that doesn't look anywhere near as nice as the DVD versions

At one point some years ago Netflix had the original Transformers cartoon up and upon watching it I discovered they were using the same version that had been available on P2P services for years right down to captured VHS distortions.

I don't think Doctor Who was ever more popular before or since, unless you take some monstrously popular one-off like the 50th Anniversary into account.

I remember watching Planet of the Spiders for the very first time as a child. Now I had seen plenty of Fourth serials but I'd never seen the end of Three and it loving traumatized me and left me a sobbing mess. I was so upset my parents thought I'd gotten been molested or something.

There was one of those in an arcade in the West Mall in Sioux Falls, South Dakota sometime during the years 1990-1993. They went under in 1994 and my parents refused to buy that machine for me.

The best was recently he was begging online for someone to help him pay for this huge shipment of records he was trying to procure. I think he was asking someone to go in half for it. And in return, they would get a fair number of the records. Selected by him, after he went through the collection for what he wanted.

Also, he had a brief tirade against Moffat in 2014 because Moffat had supposedly told him that there would be 13 eps and X-Mas special, and not 13 including the X-mas special. So he felt lied to and betrayed.

And then his rant against Eric Saward recently when Saward said in online interview that during Six's run there was never any story going to be called "Gallifrey". Levine went into full rant mode, claiming that he has a photographic memory, and he knows FOR A FACT that there was such a story, and Saward is just a liar.


Some believe that the character of the Abzorbaloff/Victor Kennedy was a supposed to big a dig a Levine.

Look we all know from Jeremy Clarkson's behavior that Brits have no problem punching each other in the face so why the hell has no one stood up and knocked Levine's teeth out yet?

As a now 34 year fan of this show, watching School Reunion the day it originally aired was so fantastic.

Oh, ok. It can't be offensive, it's old slang. Did they also have to change the title of "friend of the family in the woodpile"?


It's from the same root, but took dramatically different paths of usage in the 70's and 80's.

I never defended it as not being offensive, just that it existed.
