@PhaseShift – Cheers. Apparently storyboards are generally not used at all in tv drama. In Dr Who they’re limited to effects shots and complex scenes because of budget. Andy Wildman (who gave the talk) was the main storyboard artist from TDTWATW up to the 2013 Xmas special. It was he who drew P.S. – it must be quite something to have made the only…[Read more]

@Blenkinsopthebrave That’s great news! everyone who has contributed to these boards on any regular basis will be united in spirit (and on @Phaseshift‘s blog) on 23rd. Yeeha!

@Wolfweed – That looks a great weekend coming up in Dundee. (For some reason I always thought you were US-based). Have fun. (Are you involved in organising or just attending?)

@PhaseShift @Shazzbot @JimTheFish @Blenkinsopthebrave @Bluesqueakpip and everyone else.

Wow, I’ve had my head down all day trying to build a bespoke site in a day (almost succeeded), and now lots to consider. This site has, admittedly, slowed a bit (only a little bit) but I don’t think that has anything to do with the site, I think it’s really…[Read more]

@craig, (Emperor) @PhaseShift, @JimtheFish, @shazzbot, (Time Lords) @ et al,

Do polls inevitably lead to trolls? Perhaps not. But…

There has been some discussion on this thread about the future direction of the website, whether to run polls, whether to keep the site for “core members”, whether to change the site so as to provide more input fr…[Read more]

@JimTheFish @Shazzbot @Craig @Phaseshift

How about a poll about having polls ?

(sorry I couldn’t help bring down the tone of your otherwise fascinating  – seriously – discussion)

@Phaseshift @Shazzbot

Are you trying to tell me that online polls aren’t to be trusted??! *sigh* Another illusion shattered

@phaseshift @steve-thorp

I was unde the impression that the screenings would be a one-off to be “simulcast” (I hate that word) at the same time as the TV showing. I suppose it makes sense that the cinemas will re-screen it afterwards but I can’t imagine them doing it before!

Come to think of it, my brother works for a cineworld and normally gets…[Read more]

@PhaseShift.

and Canada too! Hurrah!

Mind you…Mrs Blenkinsop and I are mulling over a quick trip to London in late November!

Oh my God thanks @Phaseshift ! There is a cinema in Berlin =3 <3!

Thanks @Phaseshift – oooh it’s all happening now (my Dutch friends aren’t going to be very chuffed though).

@Bluesqueakpip @Craig @Juniperfish @Shazzbot What’s best for the London cinemas do you think (best screen, sound, 3D option(?) etc).  Are we going to try to co-ordinate a group visit? (or do you think there’s a chance the Excel will show it…?)

@PhaseShift

On the Policeman

Ah, finally, a voice of reason in a day of madness.

@Phaseshift

heh heh 😈

(well it was worrying @HTPBDET enough to send miniHTPBDET(s) (aka the nephew) to come on here to check! So probably an apposite decision on your part)

@Phaseshift

that was the nature of extras. To use his image in this brand new trailer would involve permissions, potential fees, etc

Now that’s just BORING!! 😉

To be fair they did spend a LOT of time and effort putting loads in the trailer to keep us interested (and make sure the youTube version went viral)

@Bluesqueakpip

Yes I did (I like your policeman theory – don’t see why they’d do it (in joke?), but it’s amusing); I referenced loads of people. I had it copied to memory, till I re-opened it to add the link to @Phaseshift‘s blog (which is all I get when I hit “control /V” now) 🙁 (Oh well, I’m sure people can survive without my words of wisdom heh heh)

@Shazzbot That’s a pic of the wrong policeman! (from An Unearthly Child (with typical 60s chinstrap style))

@Wolfweed Love the pic of the 4 Doctors, even if they have made #1 look more like Bradley than Hartnell 🙁   Thanks for doing the composites – I’m still not convinced either way. There IS a passing resemblance to Hurt (if you squint at t…[Read more]
