We never needed Patrick Troughton more than the last special where the Doctor opens up the TARDIS to show the rebuilt console room and it's still the empty dark mess it's been the last 2 seasons :negative:

That was honestly pretty dire, with the only change being the lighting's now orange-blue rather than blue (or purple, as it was last series)

It feels a little less claustrophobic, or maybe that's just because it was a wide reveal shot rather than a close-up of a face around the console...

Hm...RTD did express interest in using it during his original tenure, so it might actually show up this time around

It just works so well with how Baker played the Doctor

Scarily so; at times the coat simply doesn't register because the personality wearing it is so...Colin - sure, when you're looking at a picture of it your eyes start screaming for death, but in motion, it's fantastic

IIRC the cartoons looked really really bad. Where are they cobbling them together from anyway, just scripts and things? Hopefully the source material is at least released since I don't thin kthe cartoon was the appeal here so much as getting those lost episodes back in some form.

I think all the audio for the missing episodes still exists, and that's what they use as a base for the animation

The 2017 Shada animation used re-recorded audio from the original actors for the scenes that weren't filmed

The fact Dimensions went through the trouble of giving each Doctor their own TARDIS interior is great

Eight's is just as lovely in lego form

Excellent, we can go back to the Classic-style storytelling where the budget's five pounds and half a sandwich and there's only two rooms for sets (one of which is the TARDIS console)

Eleven basically was a cartoon with the way he handled things from time to time, so that'd work almost alarmingly too well

Are we sure Eleven wasn't just Bugs and Micky in a tweed jacket and bow tie?

She's been the Doctor since 2017, even if the BBC forgot to make any episodes.

Also I had a really dumb dream last night that for the 60th Anniversary special Big Finish got the rights to the Peter Cushing Dr. Who, and the story was him (recast) traveling to the main universe and trying to convince the increasingly unimpressed incarnations of the Doctor of his status.

Ten and Eleven would adore him
Three would feel a nagging sense of familiarity
Six, Seven, and Twelve are guffawing in the corner

The idea that Six was a personal favourite incarnation of the Doctor is very odd.

Maybe the Curator is like a mood ring whose face changes depending on what he's feeling

If it's paced and written well, 50 minutes can feel a lot longer (or shorter, funnily enough)

We've seen that Chibbers can make good enough episodes, so here's hoping that's what we're getting and not...well, 85% of the past 5(?!) years

At least 12 had Heaven Sent. What's 13's best, most defining episode?

It Takes You Away, I think

SOLITRACT: You're lying to me because you want to leave.
DOCTOR: No. I'm your friend. But friends help each other face up to their problems, not avoid them. This is... You are the maddest, most beautiful thing I've ever experienced, and I haven't even scratched the surface. I wish I could stay. But if either of us are going to survive, you're going to have to let me go and keep on being brilliant by yourself.
SOLITRACT: I miss you. I miss it all so much.
DOCTOR: I know. But if you do this, I promise, you and I will be friends forever. You have to let me go.
SOLITRACT: I will dream of you out there without me.
