Payndz posted:The switch to colour (and also the HD of the day, going from 425 to 625 lines) was expensive for the BBC, as they had to cover the cost of replacing every single piece of video equipment in late 1969 when BBC1 went full colour. bit mean to take that completely out of DW's budget

It's true. Peter Capaldi is not a Roman.

The_Doctor posted:I honestly feel like Chibnall would be the showrunner to bring back the pure historical. Much more so than RTD and Moffat. why, just because everything he makes sucks and is boring? or because the one backstory he can't possibly gently caress up is actual history

Zaroff posted:This was an issue, but it didn't happen until 1987 when McCoy became the Doctor and the series moved to Wednesday evenings. Colin Baker in fact had moved back to the regular Saturday night slot after Peter Davison had been moved to various weeknight slots. wonder if all this loving around with time slots might have had an impact

I think it's Jodie, purely from having been let down by the material. I'm sure she has the chops to be a great Doctor but she just hasn't had the writing or directing she needs. All the rest have had at least one great season, and usually the kind of bad material that they can elevate or have fun with.

The point of the hybrid is that it didn't matter what it was, and that Bad Wolf style telegraphed ongoing story arcs are stupid and distract you from what's actually going on in the episodes, which might have been a valid point if it wasn't presented as Stephen Moffat laughing at every single one of you dumb sheep who cared about the storyline he intentionally went out of his way to set up and tell you to care about from his position as the lead creative on the show.

I forgot that The Witchfinders existed and when I did remember it I had to put in a lot of effort to stop picturing Robot of Sherwood Forest.

And nobody would have suspected a thing because he has a history of saying things like "I think I'm called Peter Davison in this one". He's so great.

happyhippy posted:Yeah, as someone who only knows the lore from the TV show from late 90s onward, but mostly from 2005 on, the Timelords seem just wrong. Well, in the new show you're seeing them after a massive war. They're not at their best.

Depended on the Doctor for a while, but when Four came along they settled into these ridiculous, stuffy, ceremony-obsessed good-old-boys in giant collars. This was the first appearance of that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWzrRcSPlKY

Zaroff posted:I’ve not seen Spyfall since broadcast, but I didn’t think the Doctor mentioned his colour when leaving him for the Nazis to find. It’s very tone deaf to leave him and something they should have reconsidered after Dhawan was cast, but I didn’t think it was intentionally weaponised. She doesn't say it out loud, but she says "now they'll see who you really are".

CommonShore posted:I don't want to rewatch it, but what exactly was the plot point that identified The Doctor as The Timeless Child? Was that explicit and firm or was it implied and unreliable? The Master said it, so it's explicit and unreliable.

Didn't he teach there for like 70 years? Say what you like about Moffat, he was great about leaving gaps for other stories to go later.

CommonShore posted:I haven't rewatched Spyfall, but isn't the premise that The Doctor has known this guy for some time? I adore the implication that The Master makes a point of befriending The Doctor secretly, and that there may be who knows how many other sleeper Masters out there among The Doctor's allies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jg92hfbjyyA
