^^^Taken down, perhaps mercifully.

Anyway, Eccles is still hopping mad:

Smile ^ Farting aliens and Weakest Big Brother Links aside, I always thought his Doctor was given reasonably straight material to work with.
I think the relaunch would have died a death if they'd overdone the seriousness and miserable "Last of My Kind" stuff straight out of the trap, certainly Tennant got a bit too weepy at times.

Anyway, back to my latest purchase - the "Vintage Beeb" rerelease of the Genesis of the Daleks soundtrack, which has been out for ages.
Must have played the original vinyl LP issue of this to death so much as a child that I'm surprised the stylus didn't wear right through it.
Long since lost/discarded, along with any equipment to be able play vinyl on !
"No Tea Harry".
"Djchoo are insane Davros!"

Zips along, you don't really miss any of the stuff cut out from the TV version, although it ends quite abruptly almost mid-Dalek rant.

Comedian Lee Mack will have a small cameo in series 11: http://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2018-03-25/lee-mack-reveals-surprise-doctor-who-role/
The recurring Sharon D. Clarke mentioned on the same show that she's playing Mary, the wife of Bradley Walsh's character Graham.




^ "You don't start with a marketing idea and move backwards."

Had to put this here. Watch Peter Capaldi's answer to the question (from 5'35") about his costume at this year's ReGeneration Who convention in Baltimore. It speaks volumes about the abomination that is Whittaker's outfit.

Wink Be careful what you wish for - you'd just get Jada in a full Cyberman costume doing a "dom" session.

Not that I would mind that.

Eccles is getting in on the convention action:

And asking a fortune for autographs too...

^ Yes. Extras laden now because they knew they could sell it to us more than once. bladewave It's such an old trick but it does work unfortunately.

Caved in.
The Deborah Watling tribute is quite touching.
The Toby Hadoke "Treasure Hunt" vehicle in search of something new to find about Enemy of the World is just a bit bonkers but has a surprisingly emotional ending.
Philip Morris affirms his belief that the missing Web of Fear episode is on the verge of being re-found, but offers no real evidence.(Presumably it just slipped down the back of some airport carousel (should have invested in a stronger backpack?) and wasn't sold off to some private collector.)


RE: Dr Who - ShandyHand - 02-05-2018 16:16

^ Morris eventually did that public appearance for Fantom. Gave his usual vague positivity without absolutely anything solid. Apparently he reckons it's in private hands in Australia. That documentary's "lost on its way back to the UK" is a broad stroke to say the least. So we're still waiting. And maybe the special edition of Web is too. Wink

But enough if this tittle tattle. Smile Here's another easy round up of season 11 info culled from the web:

Couple of shots I missed from the January filming: https://doctorwhowatch.com/2018/01/15/jodie-whittaker-doctor-who-south-africa/

The King John episode is speculated to revolve around his, historically genuine, envolment with witch trials: https://twitter.com/Ruther2/status/967442461881700352

The season will see the return of classic monsters according to the BBC Sales Director: http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/doctor-who/news/a854134/doctor-who-series-11-rumours-characters-monsters/ Bold and radical is all very well but there must also be recongnisable areas of saleabilty it seems. Wink

Location filming returned to Cardiff Bay with the regulars after the Easter break: https://doctorwhoproductionnews.blogspot.co.uk/2018/04/doctor-who-filming-cardiff-bay-barrage.html?m=1

A list of confirmed directors to date: https://publish.twitter.com/?query=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FWhoFilming%2Fstatus%2F9855404​05042262017&widget=Tweet

Shooting is supposedly returning to Sheffield for a third time at the end of this week: https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/is-more-filming-for-doctor-who-to-take-place-in-sheffield-this-week-1-9143460

And finally, here are some brand new and very specific rumours/spoilers about the South African filmed story on reddit that ties in with the return of a classic monster in a more classic form than previously on NuWho: https://www.reddit.com/r/doctorwho/comments/8g3x4a/south_african_here_with_inside_info_on_one/
The location could indeed look suitably "alien planet" with a little set dressing: https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=Macassar+Beach+Pavilion&gws_rd=ssl

P.S. RTD explains how he changed his mind on a female doc since the show came back: http://wegotthiscovered.com/tv/former-doctor-who-showrunner-female-doctor-doubts/
...On why he'll never write for TV Who again: http://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2018-04-11/russell-t-davies-reveals-why-he-will-never-write-another-doctor-who-episode/
...And being very deferring over Eccleston's recent jibes: http://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2018-04-25/doctor-who-russell-t-davies-christopher-eccleston-criticism-response/


RE: Dr Who - ShandyHand - 09-05-2018 19:45

More Season 11 news - block 4 will be directed by a new to Who female director; block 5 is by returnee Jamie Childs: https://twitter.com/Ruther2/status/993841684529037313

And don't worry I don't intended to be listing all the older Who news all the time... but I did think the following recent examples were worth putting here in case anyone had any thoughts on them.

Season 10 had a deleted cameo scene shot featuring two characters from Casualty: http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/doctor-who/news/a856666/doctor-who-cut-casualty-crossover-connie-beauchamp-amanda-mealing/
Sounds a bit nauseating - for reasons I can't quite put my finger on. Glad they binned it.

Hugh Grant had forgotten RTD offered him the part of the doc before Eccelston Tongue : http://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2018-05-08/doctor-who-hugh-grant-russell-t-davies/

An original K-9 prop from the SJA has been restored by a student at a Dundee Uni: https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/2617122/doctor-who-k9-robot-dog-recreated-dundee-student/

Hartnell's first Who script sold for £7500 the other day: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2018/may/03/william-hartnells-first-ever-doctor-who-script-sells-for-7500

And finally, the usual Who storm in a teacup...

I must say though there is something of a whiff of revisionism about this. You put together a panel to review old episodes but you skew it so the top age is 26?! bladewaveHuh Now I understand the need to tailor a magazine's contents to the average age of the readership but to then include a NuWho Sales Director too does begin to look like you're stacking the deck for a certain kind of response.
It's like one of those 'everything was crap in the 70s' type shows they have on TV. These seem to exist purely for young nobody 'celebrities' to take cheap pot shots at old programmes with the implication being 'isn't everything so much better now just because we're more enlightened'. Well the truth is that sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn't...
But in any case, Gary Russell happens to be plain wrong here: The new DWM panel represents an exclusion of a certain fan type perspective and therefore is against everything that Who should stand for.

It's a feeble complaint when the original Time Team feature saw 4 super-fans pulling the Old Series to bits with gay abandon. Props to the Mirror for singling out a fan called David Steel, though laugh


RE: Dr Who - Doddle - 17-05-2018 20:53

Little point wasting this in the Music section. 30 summers ago, this was about as exciting as life possibly got (at least until Sabrina appeared not long after, mind):
