21 July 2017 at 01:13 #61205It begins…

I suppose we can say there’s an 8 hour time difference like I thought in the 1st place.
I looked it up & it said 7! Don’t trust everything you read on the internet! (So that’ll be 10pm GMT on Sunday)
21 July 2017 at 00:24 #61201Classic panel (with Wheel in Space recon) is happening round about now in San Diego…

20 July 2017 at 18:27 #6117520 July 2017 at 18:17 #6117420 July 2017 at 18:10 #61173I sometimes think that Doctor 12 started out as the dregs of ‘Malcolm Tucker’ and ended up as the very humanist ‘Peter Capaldi’…
20 July 2017 at 17:39 #61170Peter Capaldi’s Doctor Who tenure, eh?
It seems like 5 minutes ago that the Twelfth Doctor appeared with his first lines: ‘Kidneys! I’ve got new kidneys. I don’t like the colour.’The Doctor started off styled as a Suedehead, with short haircut & crombie. He did not suffer fools and it just so happened that everybody else were fools.
His TARDIS may have been warm yellow & bookish but he was going ‘Into Darkness’. The pragmatic Doctor, who either kills or incites suicide. Who will mourn later, because there’s no time now.Who frowned him that face? Turns out it was Caecilius’ (from ‘The Fires of Pompeii’) face. ‘Save somebody, anybody…’, Implored Donna. So he (No. 10) did, even though it was against the rules. Because he realised he was being ‘cold’ watching everyone die, especially as he’d caused the situation to stop the Pyroviles. By the time we reach ‘The Waters of Mars’, No. 10 had had so much ‘non-interference in death’ , that the knowledge that he could break the rules turned him into ‘The Time Lord Victorius’.
By series 9 (The Girl Who Died), we learnt that the Doctor’s message to himself was that of Donna – Break the rules a tiny bit & save ‘someone’. That had consequences of course…
This 2nd series saw P Cap with longer hair, hoodie, sunglasses & electric guitar – A mellowing but also a sort of ‘Mid Life Crisis’.
The Dr found Gallifrey & possibly became cruel & cowardly towards the elite there. 4 and a half Billion years of torture can have that effect…
The Doctor lost his companion, not really to death but to a (‘War Games’ inversion of a) mind wipe. He seemed to remember her in ‘The Doctor Falls’, though…By series 3 The Doctor was once again what was implied by Shada – A University tutor (with mad hair & a shabby-chic appearance). [Who wouldn’t want him as your teacher?]
A mentor not just to his students and to Bill but also to Missy. He was determined to save her, even though the task looked insurmountable – And by Jove, he accomplished it. I’m sure The Master will be back up to his evil tricks soon enough but it still counts.
By the end of the Doctor Falls, the Doctor had grown a massive Barnet and seemed to be fed up of running away from himself.He’d maybe been listening to Bob Marley…
Ya running and ya running
And ya running away.
Ya running and ya running
And ya running away.
Ya running and ya running
And ya running away.
Ya running and ya running,
But ya can’t run away from yourselfTo him, regeneration seems like a cop out, a cheaty way of being able to carry on carrying out the role.
The role of the Doctor, which Peter Capaldi embodied.20 July 2017 at 12:56 #6116320 July 2017 at 12:25 #6116119 July 2017 at 23:38 #61150@Thane15
JNT produced from between 1980 & 1989. Before that he was the PUM (Production Unit Manager). Season 23 was his sixth series as producer. It’s the one that aired after the hiatus, so there was a lot of anticipation to see if it would be brilliant enough to fend off Michael Grade’s desire to finish the show…
Not sure about Pip & Jane Baker prior fandom…
Quality is in the eye of the beholder. (I quite like it as a season.)

This one is a cracker:
19 July 2017 at 23:17 #6114919 July 2017 at 22:18 #61142The Sun is saying that Kris Marshall is lined up to play the companion.
So there’s a very very good chance that he’s not.
19 July 2017 at 21:57 #61141That was basically the 1986 version of YouTube or Forum comments. It’s all there gestating.
People wanting to see a crispy version of the vid can see it on The Ultimate Foe disc of The Trial of a Time Lord dvds…
19 July 2017 at 21:43 #61139@craig  Chibbers must know that karma will catch up with him one day!!!
He tries to find a nice word to substitute for ‘boring’ but fails.
I always thought that this bunch were rather rude really. Poor Pip & Jane.
I wonder how many times this clip will be dragged out to play to Chibbers during his tenure?

‘Boring’

19 July 2017 at 21:00 #61132Here’s that BBC complaints response (see post 61100) as an image…
19 July 2017 at 20:54 #61131Peter Capaldi’s salary is correct because (unlike Graham Norton) he is not employed by an outside production company.
I agree that there is no context without other channels’ figures (or indeed outside production figures).
It’s all a bit pointless but hey-ho… (Have people seen what ÂŁ$ sportspeople get, FFS?)
Chris Evans gets paid over 9 times more than P Cap & he is a git. That is annoying.
A wee reminder about the SDCC panels.
Thursday’s classic panel will be at 5pm (midnight [i.e. Fri] GMT?)
Sunday’s panel is at 2pm (9pm GMT)

(7 hour time difference)
19 July 2017 at 15:07 #61103Wonder where The Doctor stands in the list of BBC talent salarys?
I just posted a link on the news thread…

18 July 2017 at 19:05 #61040Question: What takes 9 months to gestate before being born?
Answer: Series 11 of Doctor Who.
18 July 2017 at 18:49 #6103618 July 2017 at 18:28 #61031I don’t think William Russell will be pleased with Noel Clarke being described as the 1st male companion…

18 July 2017 at 17:59 #6102818 July 2017 at 17:36 #61024Watch ‘Adult Life Skills’. It’s brilliant.
18 July 2017 at 14:31 #61005This will get a proper discussion thread soon enough but until then here’s:
Black Mirror – the entire history of you (Contains ‘adult’ material)
18 July 2017 at 12:23 #60999I’m pretty sure that Doctor actors are usually contracted on a year by year basis.
Nothing to do with conviction, just standard.
17 July 2017 at 23:34 #60978Look on twitter to see the theories. Truly Bonkers.
"Newly Female Time Lord X is the Rani", is now officially the denialist fan's theme throughout BOTH the Capaldi and Whittaker eras. Sigh… https://t.co/byi4ktAVow

17 July 2017 at 20:49 #60962Don’t recall Eccleston or Tennant getting this treatment when they were cast and both had similar roles that could have been cast up.
Oh the photos I could post… Oh the headlines I could write……..
