Well, this is interesting.

A little more info. I'm not sure why this wouldn't just be a new DVD set since almost everything was shot on video. I guess it might be convenient for Region 1 folks since I'm fairly sure some of these are out of print. :shrug:

I don't believe it just because it's way too cheap, a Region 1 BBC Blu-ray should at least be $20 per episode

The reason the autograph fees are so high for the bigger cons is that all the big name guests have guarantees, where the con says "you are guaranteed to make X amount of money through sales and the con will make up the difference if you don't", which is also why they have handlers/ con staff sitting next to them that are really strict about it

So what you do is go by their table on Sunday afternoon after theyve made their $$$ and the handler is gone because some of them will just start handing out free poo poo after that (my wife got Richard Hatch's autograph that way unintentionally)

I seriously want RTD to do a podcast where he talks about Who every week.

Toby Hadoke has a podcast on Big Finish's website called "Who's Round" and he's got an interview with RTD that's split into 4 parts because it's so long, it rules

I started watching right around when series 3 was airing and the only way i knew how to watch it in the US was on lovely korean tube sites. I remember enjoying series 1 but wishing that the tube site hadn't made it look all hazy and lovely

then i watched it on dvd years later and found out that's just how it looks

My first exposure to Doctor Who was buying "City of Death" on DVD in like 2006 because i was a big Douglas Adams fan. I remember watching it once and thinking it was all right but it didn't do a whole lot for me overall.

Not long afterward i watched Coupling on BBC America and found out the guy who wrote it (some guy named Steve) had a new show out called Jekyll. Once that was over i saw he had written a couple of episodes of Doctor Who, so i watched "Girl in the Fireplace" and the newly-released "Blink" back to back. Been hooked ever since

Agreed that the revival's scores should sound more like the Sea Devils and hopefully whoever is taking over for Murray Gold realizes this

There are several R1 discs i'd like to have that are out of print now but i still refuse to buy the R2 discs out of principle (literally the only reason the different disc regions exist is so that whoever's making them can sell them for different prices in different markets, if they dont want my money then i'm not giving it to them :colbert: )

One of the downsides of watching the classic series in order is that UNIT really wear out their welcome over however many seasons Pertwee has (4? 5?)

I wasn't sure about it at first because it looks out of place for the first 3 but yeah Tom's era and afterward it totally works

apparently this "director's cut" is only 90 minutes, is this a new thing or has it been around for a while?

Telling Nick Briggs, while he signed it, that I had fried mine was one of the saddest moments of my life. The local shop... said they couldn't fix it! :negative:

I'd already had the mini version for a while, which he seemed unfamiliar with, and it's been a permanent part of my guitar rig. I should send the full-size one off to Moog to see if they can do anything with it... wonder if they'll understand the signature.

the Moog "factory" (more like a workshop, really) does facility tours twice a day, and i told the guy leading the tour that "the guy who does the Dalek voices in Doctor Who uses one of these". his response was "uhh that's cool, i don't know what that is"

Someone in the reddit thread said Akinola leans more towards minimalism so if he ends up being the Philip Glass to Murray Gold's John Williams then he's gonna loving whip rear end at this job

Also he tweeted a pic of the Rite of Spring score the other day :getin:

man, I wanna get into the Big Finish Doctor Who stuff but it looks like there's a massive amount of stuff and I am a very poor man

a ton of the older stories are on Spotify, although i think you still have to search "doctor who" instead of "big finish" for whatever reason
