McGann posted:Sorry, can you elaborate? I read through his Twitter and there seems to be a lot more interesting tidbits here than I even expected. Arrested? Fined for desecration of a monument? Goss has bought a house in a village in Turkey. I can’t imagine why, but if he likes it, more power to him.

He's a poo poo. When they did the Gavin & Stacy reunion, they struggled to find crew to work on it because no one wanted to work with Cordon.

Terror of the Zygons is a solidly good story. It‘s genuinely creepy in places and the Zygons themselves are very effective. It looks gorgeous (aside from some of the Skarasan shots), and it’s probably my favourite Tom story.

Warthur posted:My understanding from people who've read deeper into the series is that the protagonist gets better at that stuff over time, in a way which either suggests it was meant to be a character thing or indicates Aaronovitch has been getting better at it. Generously, it can be read as Peter getting his mindset away from the still very racist and sexist attitudes of the Met and embracing a much more open mind as he experiences more of the world/demi-monde. Moon over Soho has Peter’s big flaw where he sleeps with the main murder suspect in his case, revealing he’s still a blithering idiot at that point, and has a lot of sorting himself out to do.

lines posted:Like to be clear there's very much a transphobic way of using it! And I might be wrong about how it would have come across in 2011. But it doesn't to me feel jarringly bad. Having googled it many people seem to regard "crossdresser" as better? But I just don't know that that's as true in the same way in the UK? Think getting into it properly would be way too much of a derail for this thread though. Peter’s still a police officer with the Met, but he works in the Folly/Special Assessment Unit, a division dedicated to magic-related incidents, away from the main operational depts and your standard bigoted plod. I should make a RoL thread in books. There’s an urban fantasy thread, but the RoL stuff gets buried a lot there.

HD DAD posted:It really does reek of someone who was young during the wilderness years, brain full of Cartmel what could have been, and then not being able to resist that impulse when he actually got control of the show. He was barely young in 1986, when he was both 16 and 45: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSuxFK6Hhvw But even Cartmel and Co during the Wilderness era knew not to make things too explicit (with the exception of Lungbarrow).

When S10 was done, Gold was off Who and had no inclination to arrange for the score to be released. Now he’s back on the series, he might be warmer to that notion.

Jerusalem posted:I have a vague memory of a story (from Tom I think, so possibly bullshit) about an older fan (or possibly a fan's grandmother?) knitting a scarf for Tom and it was GIGANTIC and they decided to run with it as part of his actual costume for a lark? Begonia Pope knitted the scarf, inspired by a poster painted by Toulouse Lautrec. Costume designer James Acheson gave Pope several balls of wool but no instructions about the length of the scarf to be produced. Pope used all of the wool to knit a scarf 20 feet long. The production team loved the result and, after shortening the scarf slightly, it was used as part of the costume.

Gaz-L posted:I actually adore the moment in the scene before it when the Doctor asks Bill and Nardole why he can't just stop, why does he have to go on, and instead of some trite 'because the world needs you' or 'we'd miss you', they just acknowledge him and say it's OK if he makes that choice, that he's allowed to feel overwhelmed and burned out. And it leads to the wonderful little wry turn of "I suppose one more lifetime wouldn't kill anyone... except me..." Which has now paid off a bit with the Giggle’s ending where the 14th Doctor finally admits he’s absolutely run ragged. “It's like you're staggering along. Maybe that's why your old face came back. Maybe you're wearing yourself out.”

The Crystal Maze has such an odd production history. In 1989, French tv was making a show, Fort Boyard, a game show about solving puzzles, doing challenges, and collecting keys to a treasure room at the end of the episode. British tv company Chatsworth acquired the format, but couldn’t schedule time to film at the titular Fort Boyard (a real fort completely surrounded by the sea off the coast of France!) so they initially made a FB pilot using sets and filmed it at Elstree studios. It looked dreadful, so they asked FB’s creator for help and he suggested the Crystal Maze format. Eventually the UK did get its own Fort Boyard with Geoffrey Bayldon, Leslie Grantham and Melinda Messenger hosting/as characters (and eventually Tom Baker!) and is one of 34 countries to have their own version of the show! My companion and I watched an ep last year while in France and it’s wild. For one, the episode was 2.5 hours long, and there’s a huge amount of lore behind it all where the characters in the fort all have their own motivations and history, which evolves season to season.

McGann posted:My bad, I got confused. Though he does play a cat, it's the very first Benny audio "oh no it isn't". He's not the Cheshire cat in this one though, just a normal one. Who also can talk. He’s Wolsey, who was the TARDIS cat during the NA novels. The TARDIS should always have a cat, it feels right.

MikeJF posted:A TARDIS cat that just randomly wanders through the entire history of the TARDIS with no care given to order or time. It just appears, demands food and scritches, and vanishes back into the cat dimension.  That is a cat, yes. Which Doctor blob is this one? Will they feed me? That new console room desperately needs a chair or two. For cat.
