The BBC have finally made a statement about Doctor Who! Unfortunately, I don’t know what it means. Can anyone translate?

I think the BBC should be forced to give a licence to anyone wanting to produce a new series of Doctor Who, as it looks like they want to kill it off. The licence should be free so that the group producing the new series can have more money to produce it.

I also think the TV licensing law should be updated to apply only to people…[Read more]

The Doctor is wearing a kilt, as he has done many times before. It has tartan, but a kilt doesn’t even have to have tartan on it to be a kilt. It’s a kilt because it wraps around itself and is fastened with a few straps, as well as having small pleats near the straps. As for the Doctor or anyone else wearing skirts, why not?

I…[Read more]

It’s looking more and more likely now that the BBC think they can cancel Doctor Who forever, or at least indefinitely! They also think that Doctor Who fans will sit back and take any old SH**!

I say enough is enough and it’s time for some Doctor Who riots soon! Close down CBeebies as well, to prevent the travesty of a Doctor Who animated series…[Read more]

I’ve seen Danger Man, but I don’t remember the dialogue in various languages.

I don’t think I’ll bother to watch any more Bond films.

My native language is English.

I’ve seen various episodes of Star Trek: DS9 and Star Trek: VOY in German first of all on the channel SAT.1, because at the time that was the easiest way for me to…[Read more]

I meant that James Bond’s friends and allies spoke English as their native language, but could have been from anywhere, such as the USA, Canada, or Australia. There were only 14 Bond books written by Ian Fleming, but I’m not sure how many stories there were. Two of the books were published after his death in 1964.  Only two or 3…[Read more]

There’s a good reason I’m called TranslatorCircuit! I’m multilingual. I’m typing this on a German layout keyboard. Not only that, but apart from sci fi, most of my TV viewing is in German and French. James Bond is totally unrealistic British nationalist isolationist crap! In spite of all the defence cuts, James Bond is equipped to do absolutely…[Read more]

@janetteb

I’m afraid people aren’t saying you shouldn’t watch Star Trek TOS, or early James Bond films, so that’s not fair! I think the only difference is that the first two Doctors’ eras were made in B&W. In that case, what’s needed is more colourisations, but without editing out parts of the story, which was done with “The Daleks” or discarding…[Read more]

Doctor Who wouldn’t even exist without the First Doctor and wouldn’t have continued for so long without the Second Doctor and regeneration. I suppose the BBC could have replaced William Hartnell with a lookalike, followed by another lookalike, ad infinitum, but they would have had to be good actors as well.…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent

Your lack of knowledge of classic Who is disgusting! You need a viewing plan of various really important episodes to watch for your homework. I think you should start with “An Unearthly Child”, “The Daleks”, “The Dalek Invasion of Earth”, and “The Web Planet”. After that, watch “The Chase” and “The Time Meddler”. These are all…[Read more]

Apart from being a sequel to the crappy “Midnight”, I think “The Well” where only one member of a crew survives is copying a Star Trek: TNG episode, as well as a Star Trek: ENT episode. Details on  https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Night_Terrors_(episode) AND https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Impulse_(episode)

It looks like RTD has run ou…[Read more]

“Planet of The Spiders” was a brilliant story! Criticising the spiders themselves is just a criticism of special effects. I’m also happy that the Master has continued since that era. Being able to knock something together in a rush is also what’s needed NOW, instead of pretending it’s too late, so no Christmas Special and no new…[Read more]

I thought I’d commented on this episode before, but I see I haven’t, so I will do now!

I think that Midnight is one of the worst Doctor Who stories ever, and this was almost as bad! It’s all based around the idea of looking behind someone at something almost invisible, but not quite. This was done before in “Planet of The Spiders” as well as…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent

I think that people need to have a good knowledge of classic Who to understand everything about NuWho but don’t have to watch all the stories. There are a few stories even I haven’t seen, such as “The Smugglers”, “The Savages” and “The Myth Makers”. I plan to watch these soon to find out what I’ve missed, though. I think t…[Read more]

@dentarthundert

I can’t emphasise enough that people must remember Doctor Who didn’t start in 2005, so it’s essential for fans to watch the classic series which it’s based on! This isn’t like just another version of “Sherlock Holmes”, which was originally in short story or book form. It’s not a reimagining like “Battlestar Galactica” (2003)…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent

I was referring to your lack of knowledge about the first two Doctors’ eras. It’s essential to watch the classic series. The modern series wouldn’t even exist without it.

As for being forced back into the distant past, destroying my lifestyle, I’ve already had my lifestyle destroyed a few times, but not as badly as that. Just…[Read more]

@whohar

I really couldn’t care less “how the television industry works” if it means constantly having gap years in Doctor Who! However it works must be destroyed, then the way it used to work or a way similar to that established. The main priority must be to get another Doctor Who special shown later this year, followed by another series next…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent

You should at least consult an episode guide before posting a long reply like that!

I think that Blink was an excellent story which introduced the Weeping Angels, but it was also a a Doctor Lite story. It involved a nightmare scenario of people having their lives destroyed by being forcibly sent back in time where there was far…[Read more]

Having a smaller budget than with Disney+ has nothing to do with the Tenth Doctor story Midnight. It’s obvious to me that the BBC had overspent with stories produced earlier that year, so then they decided to produce the story Midnight. To sum up, I think this story is totally crap, taking place mainly inside some kind of bus…[Read more]

Here’s a link to a video covering various rumours and things that actually happened recently in Doctor Who. It all seems to make sense. I don’t think it’s good news, though. It seems the problem is Disney+, as well as the BBC trying to do things the Disney+ way. Let me know what you think.
