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]

Reposted due to messy tabs, etc.

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.

As for the scripts lined up for Ncuti Gatwa, based on a clip of him as well as some rumours of…[Read more]

@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+.

@nuwhovianjean I assume you’re outside the UK, otherwise you’d be using BBC iPlayer for this. I’ve just had a quick look round on bbc.co.uk/iplayer so I can confirm that the episodes from Series 1 and Series 13 are still there and marked that they will continue to be available for “over a year”. All other series are listed there and Series 8 also…[Read more]

@Devilishrobby Star Maidens wasn’t a Gerry Anderson co production! Gerry Anderson was never mentioned. As anyone can look up in a few seconds it was produced by Portman Productions for ITV and partly financed by the organisation Werbung in Rundfunk, using revenue from the limited TV commercials (before 20:00) on the German channel ZDF.  There…[Read more]

@janetteB I’m not talking about any productions by NETFLIX in German, I’m talking about productions by any of various German TV channels, and/or by other TV channels based in the EU. You’ve probably never herd of these TV channels, because you’ve been brainwashed! Most of them have “Mediatheken”, meaning streaming services similar to BBC iPlayer.…[Read more]

The Guardian article just says “Doctor Who, which is now being produced in partnership with the streaming service Disney+, is also likely to be affected by strike action”. AFAIK Disney+ is only giving lots of money to the production company Bad Wolf. I think this means it won’t be affected. The good news is that because of this strike by writers…[Read more]

@thane16 No, I’m not high, not an actor, and not a writer either. When I say I’m not a writer, I mean that I don’t write any short stories, books, or scripts, although I might be able to. My favourite TV programmes are “Doctor Who” and all Star Trek series except the animated ones. I’ve recently been watching some other series on Britbox, such as…[Read more]
