I liked it! I think it was great how characters on film could be brought to life and I started to have fantasies about using this technique. I think the fans watching on TV was a nice touch, as well. It was a shame it was set on Earth, though. I want to see some stories which are completely set on other planets. We haven’t had this so far in this…[Read more]

The main thing is that it’s not possible to tell a story with about two thirds of the original deleted! It was originally shown as ten episodes of 25 minutes each. The main selling point of this version is that it’s IN COLOUR! I once saw and recorded a version of “Genesis of The Daleks” which was cut down from six episodes to four episodes and…[Read more]

Well, I’ve seen it now. It’s a pity that this production hasn’t even got its own thread on here.

It was fairly obvious that various important information was deleted. I think even viewers who had never seen the original would have noticed this. It included the introduction of the other resistance fighters, especially Arturo Villar who led the…[Read more]

I’ll be watching the new colourised and edited version of The War Games, which I watched the original version of only 2-3 weeks ago, but I can’t remember how many times I’ve seen it before. It will be good to see it in colour, but I dread to think how many details have been edited out. I’ve been trying to write my own summary to make a quick check…[Read more]

I really liked this episode! A few things weren’t explained though. Why did The Doctor have to disappear? What year was it at the beginning of the episode? It seems like it was after 2046, because of the fairy circle notes mentioning “Mad Jack”. Also £5 for a Coke in a pub is more expensive than in 2024. If it was after 2046, then how could Ruby…[Read more]

I was quite worried about this episode as soon as I heard the title was “73 Yards”. I wondered if it meant 73 back yards. I didn’t think it was referring to the antique measurement of length.

Unforunately, my fears were confirmed while watching the episode. Ruby said that the woman kept her distance at 73 yards away from her!

Even though Star…[Read more]

I don’t know what to make of the viewing figures in the UK for the four recent specials, or the news that Millie Gibson has already left and been replaced! What do people on here think of all this news? Of course, there are also some YouTube channels saying that Doctor Who is dead.

This sounds like great news! I don’t know what to make of the UK viewing figures, though. It sounds to me like lots of traitors who abandoned Doctor Who because there was a female Doctor haven’t returned to watch these specials. I watched “The Star Beast” and “Wild Blue Yonder” both live. It sounds like a big shakeup is coming. “Timeless Child V2″…[Read more]

@janetteb what the cut to nine episodes per year means that there will be fewer stories per year! Russell T Davies said this was because it was so expensive, after being given loads of money by Disney! Of course, this is no excuse.

Star Wars films are very expensive, but the main things about Star Wars is that it’s a series of films which come…[Read more]

TERRIBLE NEWS! As predicted by me some time ago, the number of episodes in future series has been cut down instead of being restored to 13 or more per year. I thought this would happen because it was being financed by Disney Plus. Russell T Davies has announced in SFX magazine that from now on Doctor Who will have only NINE new episodes per…[Read more]

@janetteb @mudlark Well, I’ve watched the new COLOURISED version of “The Daleks” and here’s what I thought of it.

In general, the colours used worked quite well. Some of them looked very bright and lurid, though. This might just have been because of the colour schemes the Daleks themselves actually liked. Of course, it’s an alien planet with…[Read more]

Hello Janet B! I am here anyway! This morning I watched the very first Doctor Who episode “An Unearthly Child” as I do on every Doctor Who anniversary day. I followed this up with the original rejected pilot episode of the same story. After that I watched “Tales from The TARDIS: Earthshock” Which include…[Read more]

My thoughts about Doctor Who recently are as follows.

I’m happy that at long last there will be some more Doctor Who episodes, so long as the World doesn’t end before then, if Putin decides it should.

I’m very annoyed that the BBC isn’t showing any of the three specials on the actual anniversary! I think they need some severe punishment for thi…[Read more]

@impuredalek I found there were lots of Doctor Who audio adventures on Spotify, but I don’t seem to be able to find them now I’ve unsubscribed.  Have a search.

Here’s a soundtrack from one of the lasr stories from the Fourth Doctor’s Era “Warriors’ Gate”! How could anyone not love it?

Sorry, but I don’t think anything much of Murray Gold’s music!

What I really want is some special electronic music, as produced for the BG/Classsic series of Doctor Who!!

I’ll never forget these amazing BBC Radiophonics Department themes, which were sometimes reused in different stories as variations on a theme, being revamped from one story to…[Read more]

@nuwhovianjean I hope you’ll take my advice earlier on in this topic about how to watch Doctor Who on BBC iPlayer from outside the UK, just by using a VPN and looking up a residential address, then inputting at least the Post Code. The BBC website has no news for Doctor Who dated after 2021. I demand a new series of Doctor Who with 26 episodes of…[Read more]

Here’s some more details about the production of future Doctor Who episodes, dated October 25, 2022. Read what it says under the pic of Ncuti Gatwa.

@janetteb I don’t think the American writers’ and actors’ strikes will affect these specials at all, for the following two reasons.

1. Filming of these specials must have finished ages ago! They’ve had enough time to make two whole series by now!!

2. Doctor Who isn’t a US production. They’re just getting funding from Disney+.
