Well that was all over the place and I imagine will make more sense with the context of the rest of the season, since it's obviously all one big story, but it was interesting at least. Dan is good, and without Graham and Ryan in the mix Yaz is actually getting to do something for a change which was nice.

We in America aren't done with the ep yet!

Oh wow Marina Sirtis is going to appear in the new Martha boxset. I know it's not a Doctor who actor but still! There's a bit about it in the new vortex magazine.

Yeah, she's on the cover to the boxset

If you think of Flux in the sense of a classic series 6 part story, then it was a traditional episode 3 of a 6 episode story.

Professor Jericho was the sex shop sales guy from that one episode of Bottom.

He was also in all the Pirates of the Caribbean films (as Jack Sparrow's first mate)

He also popped up in Dalek Universe starring David Tennant.

Man, real jazzed to find out there's a rob zombie Munsters in production. Who is Igor though? If that text didn't name him as Igor I would've thought he was playing Grandpa with subdued naturalistic hair.

Igor's a new character; I'm just surprised that Zombie is staying INCREDIBLY faithful to the original look

Sylvester McCoy is great at light comedy and also being really sinister. I'm always baffled at the people who don't like his Doctor.

Anyway, the recent audios I've listened to:

The Wrong Doctors - Two Sixth Doctors! It's a little confusing, but Colin Baker and Bonnie Langford do a great job here, especially trying to make the different versions of their characters sound different.
House of Blue Fire - Really nice atmosphere, and a creepy empty house is something the franchise does well. McCoy is great, with the Doctor gently prodding the other characters to try and figure out what's happening, switching into a more compassionate mode, then going all dark and mysterious.
Loups-Garoux - Solid enough early effort, but I don't think I've watched a Turlough serial, so the character was new to me. There's some really bad sound issues, and the quality of the audio goes up and down wildly at times, to the point where it's distracting.

I can't remember the details, but something had happened after the recording of Loups-Garoux which rendered the recordings unlistenable to the point where BF thought they were just going to have to write the whole thing off as a loss. They even said it was a miracle that the sound engineer was able to restore them to the point where it was salvageable.

Me, at the beginning of the episode: "I wonder if Dan and Yaz will survive. Will the Doctor be okay?"
BBC America: "Here's the trailer for EVE OF THE DALEKS during the second commercial break!"

The actress was born that way.

Haha, seriously? I mean, it's already like trying to understand the inner workings of some alien, insectoid mind when I try to perceive of watching Doctor Who with commercial breaks, but that really takes the cake!

To be fair, they couldn't air the trailer at the end of the ep; they had a repeat of the movie Armageddon to get to! (Armageddon was also the film airing before tonight's Who ep)

But yeah, watch an ep on DVD/streaming, and whenever there's a scene change every 5-7 minutes, pause it for 2-3 minutes.

But make sure you catch the initial airing! Because if you catch the ep when BBC America repeats it, they edit the hell out of the longer eps to fit within a 42-45 minute runtime.

I too also remember the end of Logopolis, when the Fourth Doctor fell from the steep heights of the radio tower, and got up and brushed himself off and said "Well that wasn't so bad" and walked off munching on a jelly baby

I remember The End of Time, when the Doctor fell from a spaceship, through a glass dome, and got up like it was nothing.

Big Finish just announced that their license to make Doctor Who has been extended to 2030!


To put it in perspective, if they were the TV series, starting with William Hartnell, that would take them up to the Tenth Doctor's year of specials.

RTD's first episode. The Doctor opens the watch, walks to the Lungbarrow House, opens the door and... SUPRISE! Every companion from every audio drama, comic, mini, TV episode/serial, movie, and book reality come in with everything for a HUGE party for the Doctor's 60th!

For "The Stolen Earth", when the Doctor and Donna arrived at The Shadow Proclamation, RTD's plan was for it to feature representatives of every alien that had been seen in the new series since the beginning ... and when the budget came back, it got cut down to a couple of Judoon. :)

So for us Americans, the New Year's special is on today at 2:00pm, and is running from 2:00-3:24pm (according to the BBC America schedule)

HOWEVER,

BBC America is ALSO advertising a "Bonus/Extended Edition" that's airing tonight at 8:00pm, and is running from 8:00-10:34pm.

Doesn't the first showing typically air in full and then subsequent ones are cut down? It sounds like the 8pm showing will just also be in full.

Yeah, but he second airing is also an hour longer than the initial one
