marktheando posted:Which is the best Doctor Who DVD commentary? I only have Curse of Fenric and Remembrance of the Daleks on DVD and want some funny commentary. Anything with Peter Davison on it usually has a great mix of insight and humour. You'll never see Turlough in the same light again...

Sorry folks, the bad McCoys are embarrassingly cringingly bad and if you can't see why the Controller of BBC One would look at Silver Nemesis or Delta and the Bannermen and think "you know, this show needs a few years off so people can forget that we put this badly-acted cheap embarrassing absolute toss on our main channel and invited them to watch it", you need your head looking at

It's not Bob Holmes's fault that JN-T was constitutionally incapable of leaving well enough alone. Keeper of Traken is competent, but it's also one of many stories that you can quite comfortably cut half the running time from and it still works as a story and makes sense while losing nothing of value.

I assume that Phillip Hinchcliffe arrived about five seconds afterwards and said for the first time "let's terrify the little buggers to death"?

Christopher Eccleston did an interview with the Observer, and gave some marginally-less-cryptic-than-before hints about what happened with the BBC https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2018/mar/11/christopher-eccleston-macbeths-very-insecure-about-his-masculinity-i-am-most-men-are quote:When he left Doctor Who after the first series of the revived show, his decision was greeted with speculation and ultimately hostility, much of it exacerbated, says Eccleston, by the BBC’s mishandling of the situation. He'll be starring in Macbeth with the Royal Shakespeare Company from Tuesday.

After The War posted:I've always said that the First Rule of Doctor Who Fandom means that every opinion has to be held by somebody, no matter how incomprehensible, and here's the proof. When Doctor Who fandom was still small enough to have received wisdom, the received wisdom was that absolutely everything from the Trial onwards was embarrassing garbage and attempting to swim against that tide was the second-most surefire way to start a passionate and obnoxious flame war. Kids these days, never heard anyone call him "Sillybugger McCoy" and think they were being clever, you don't know you're born. (This was also back in the day when one had flame wars.)

There's a lot of stories where my opinion is "I like it a lot, but I'd totally understand if someone else couldn't get past the [THING]", and for some reason a lot of them are early-80s ones. Kinda's a great example with the Buddhist weirdness and Yet Another Crap Studio Jungle and that sodding rubber snake.cargohills posted:You'll probably like Caves of Androzani more if you weren't a fan of Kinda.

Maxwell Lord posted:Since I don't think Season 26 has any Tardis interior scenes I'm just going to assume that's what they're flying around in from now on. Battlefield has one, but it's done in front of a terrible-looking curtain because they either lost or damaged the TARDIS set. An excellent warning sign for what's about to come.

Astroman posted:The best thing Chibnall could do is gently caress up the TARDIS so the Doctor can't control it again and has to try to get them home. Or they have to search for a Time Macguffin and can't stop to see mum. Or you could have characters who neither need nor want to go home every five loving minutes to get a pint of milk. Like, if the TARDIS showed up outside your home this evening, is there really anyone in here who wouldn't just be "see ya, fuckers, I'll send a postcard from 49th-century Blackpool"?

JN-T was well and truly into the "I have been persuaded to stay..." period by then, in which nobody else wanted to do his job, and if he left it would have meant cancellation, as in fact it did when his patience finally ran out.

I would please like stories that are about something other than "the Doctor is clever" and "the companion is special" and "here is an explosion/piece of CGI which will look totally laughable in 15 years" and "something wants to take over/destroy/take over and then destroy the universe"

Wheat Loaf posted:Anyway, I must be confusing my timelines here, if he was saying he didn't want to "downgrade" from movies to television in 1966; hadn't he already been Sherlock Holmes on television? The first series, which he wasn't in, aired in 1965; they didn't get round to doing another one until 1968. Burkion posted:Sherlock Holmes is a huge loving deal, especially over there. Those specials were basically big prestige stuff. They weren't specials, he did 16 50-minute episodes, and while the series was a major smash hit, it was also absolutely riddled with production incompetence, it was all done in a great rush without nearly enough time. quote:Whenever I see some of those stories they upset me terribly, because it wasn't Peter Cushing doing his best as Sherlock Holmes - it was Peter Cushing looking relieved that he had remembered what to say and said it! Cushing only got the job because his predecessor Douglas Wilmer said he'd rather sweep Paddington station for a living than do another series.
