Dr. Who has one constant companion.
Except if you read that article he said that he can't stop watching the show because it's "pure professionally-written entertainment".
After all, when you've had your moan you have to admit that it is very, very entertaining, with its heart in the right place, even if its head is often in orbit around Jupiter
Pratchett loves nu-Who.
Prat-chet was a fraud confirmed

The scariest thing about the drashigs is they are mutated humans.
John Barrowman should be the next Doctor.
He probably would’ve been chosen instead of Billie if he hadn’t been MeToo’d
He was just a nice guy who didn't like to be too negative

Some choice quotes from the actual blog instead of what the Grauniad picked out 15 years ago:
And then suddenly it all changed. We had a couple of Doctors who were “street”, at least by BBC standards, and what looked like very good, very well-thought-out sets and effects. I still preferred Torchwood, though, which tried so hard and came up with some memorable episodes, of which “Small Worlds” (the one about fairies) sticks most in the mind. It was clever.
People say Doctor Who is science fiction. At least people who don’t know what science fiction is, say that Doctor Who is science fiction.
Doctor Who on the other hand had an episode wherein people’s surplus body fat turns into little waddling creatures. I’m not sure how old you have to be to come up with an idea like that. The Doctor himself has in recent years been built up into an amalgam of Mother Teresa, Jesus Christ (I laughed my socks off during the Titanic episode when two golden angels lifted the Doctor heavenwards) and Tinkerbell. There is nothing he doesn’t know, and nothing he can’t do. He is now becoming God, given that the position is vacant. Earth is protected, we are told, and not by Torchwood, who are human and therefore not very competent. Perhaps they should start transmitting the programme on Sundays.
Doctor Who’s science is pixel thin. I’m sorry about this, but I just don’t think that you can instantly transport a whole hospital onto the moon without all of the windows blowing out. Oh! You use a force field, do you?! And there’s the trouble; one sentence makes it all okay. But it’s fun and occasionally wonderful, as in the episodes “Blink”, “Human Nature” and “The Family of Blood”.
It’s too late for me. I might shout at the screen again, but I will be watching on Saturday. Besides he now has a kissogram girl for his sidekick, so things can only get better.
I have powered through the entire Ncuti Gatwa part of the show.
It's jarring how often he comes up with some crap just to never bother explaining it later. I mean I thought Moffat was annoying with it by taking forever to give even a semblance of explanation for the TARDIS, but RTD just does this nonstop now. Why did Ruby make it snow? Why did Belinda look like the soldier from Boom? Why do characters constantly break the fourth wall? Is the Doctor really in an alternate reality? These questions are all initially asked and then promptly ignored, or even worse RTD just makes fun of the audience for caring about the answer.
The worse thing is character work, something RTD has traditionally been good at. There is not a single character in these two seasons I would consider well developed or consistent. We used to have the issue that the show was overwrought with meaning in some ways and it was particularly annoying if it focused on something hugely retarded, but now there's just next to meaning to anything. Things just happen because they sound like loud or happy, or because RTD wants to trigger chuds, or because he just doesn't give a shit and wants to project vaguely positive vibes without any meaningful narrative content. Somehow this is arguably a shallower era than Chibnall.
Would love to be a fly on the wall in Bad Wolf Studios to see why nobody has the power to tell RTD no when he comes up with something retarded. Cannot believe the same writer who created Parting of the Ways also came up with this pile of excrement. Wtf happened to him. It can't just be age, there's loads of sci-fi and fantasy authors who stay consistent with time or even get better.
Why did Ruby make it snow? Why did Belinda look like the soldier from Boom? Why do characters constantly break the fourth wall? Is the Doctor really in an alternate reality?
all to be answered in the billie special
trust the plan
There is not a single character in these two seasons I would consider well developed or consistent
because RTD wants to trigger chuds, or because he just doesn't give a shit
it's intentionally shallow because donna spilt coffee on the tardis and made magic real
trust the plan
Wtf happened to him
you're not trusting the plan
Come off it.
hype and aura
That's all the show ever was and now they've cranked it up to 11.
I don't care about returning characters from classic. You have no power over me now Russel
What about returning characters from nu-Who?
i do care about returning characters, but the show has conditioned me into not caring because 99% of these returns have been shit
Why did Ruby make it snow?
this actually makes more sense if you're dumb enough to watch series 14 twice
she and sutekh were connected through that night and were unintentionally triggering the tardis's perception field to generate snow within 73 yards of it
RTD2 is tougher to talk about than Chibnall because it's like seeing a half lucid dementia patient. There are moments where you can really see who they used to be but also moments where they're just shitting themself.
I've not seen anyone mention this but 13 literally shows up to tell 15 not to sacrifice himself for one person.
youtu.be
13 letting others sacrifice themselves or not doing it herself is a major part of the character. There is no way out here so 15 has to do it but if someone else was there, 13 would definitely let them do it for him.
and if you are going to have to sacrifice yourself, let someone else try first.
13 is based, chad "no I'm not dying for yous".
I like 13s theme tune, it makes me want to hear a NIN/industrial style version.
it's the current year. People like RTD are only ever going to be amplifiers.
When you get deep into the kind of circles he's in, the idea of things like narrative coherence or consistency are actually considered "chud dog whistles". Basically, you're trying to filter "diverse people" from "speaking their truths", when you tell them their writing is a load of shit. They get a little kick out of writing things that go against canon, or break agreed upon rules, because they know The Critical Drinker or whoever else is going to be fuming about it the next day.
It's all incredibly retarded and gay. What can I say?
I liked The Reality War.
Greenis!
Just listened to Death in Blackpool
There's your actual compelling character-based Doctor Who drama, Russell
youtube.com
youtube recommended this to me. what did I think of it?
Doctor Who's casting agent has retired btw.
Maybe means the show won't be as gay if it continues.
the tunky bwoi, more like
Always been annoyed by Rose's attitude which is why I'm especially enraged the Doctor took her face
Fuck you Russell, she's not fucking special
Some of them never actually shouted "Doctor". This image is inaccurate.
let it die
That's more of a sign that it's not continuing any time soon
SHOW ME YOUR FAN CAST FOR THE 16TH DOCTOR AND COMPANION
I'll start:
Doctor
Mathew Baynton
Companion
Olivia D'Lima
I'm in lads
Why is the thread so slow today?
Good choices
Because it's been a few days and Doctor Who is actually dead now. It's like 1990 but as if McCoy regenerated into Katy Manning suddenly at the end of Survival.
Rather tinpot that Doctor Who fans don't stick around when there isn't a shiny new episodes being jingled in front of them.
fuck it, make an eighth doctor spinoff until they figure out what to do with 16
I always knew the Tardis' pillar on the central console going up and down was suspicious
Doctor
Me
Companions
Amybeth McNulty, Sadie Sink and Sophia Lillis
It's like 1990 but as if McCoy regenerated into Katy Manning suddenly at the end of Survival.
kek, hope the guy who made this uses this idea next

Doctor Who is shit.

Leaker “Andrew” explains Billie Piper’s casting as the 16th Doctor
“Yes, casting billie was a very last minute decision. Around the time the robot revolution was airing, they were still planning to go with the cliffhanger regeneration”
“Yes. But I don't think the casting of 16 indicates or confirm the renewal for Season 3 with 16 in it. It seems more like stunt casting, to round off RTD2 and kind of wrap up the NuWho era by bringing it full circle”
“No billie wasn’t even on set. She filmed everything with an incredibly small crew in front of a green screen in London a month or so ago and they just pasted her face onto Ncuti’s body”
“I’ve heard, and I also suspected this myself that russell casting billie was a way to increase audience interest (a bit like casting Tennant as 14) and hopefully then make the show more appealing to Disney. BBC a bit concerned currently about how they’re going to continue the show themselves. Lots of scrambling going on”
“Nothing is confirmed no, I think billie saw it more of a favour to Russel than anything. She’s happy to do a special or series, but is also fine to just film a quick something in an attempt to help out the show, even if it ends up being no use”
“Russell went straight for billie, she didn’t have to audition or anything. All happened very quickly. I don’t even think Russel knows why she has rose’s face yet”
“Most of season 3 was written with Ncuit in mind so don’t expect 16 to be too different. There were a few alternate takes of Billie’s first lines, I was hoping for a bit more edge but all gave me Jodie vibes”
"Everything in unit after the belinda doctor and ruby scene (which was also heavily reworked in reshoots) was reshoots, as well as the garden and Belinda’s house scene - and the stuff with 13 obviously”
“They’re not going to admit that Ncuti leaving after 2 seasons wasn’t always the plan, because that would mean admitting that season 3 was delayed because season 1 didn’t do as well as initially hoped"
I don’t even think Russel knows why she has rose’s face yet”
This at least is likely true. Reminder that he made up Bad Wolf in Series 1 and had no plan until he came to episode 13.
If Billie plays the Doctor as slutty as Ncuti did we're in for a good time.
flirting with everyone and calling them babes
I can see rose doing this
Why does this keep happening?
AU Genesis where everything went wrong and 4 regenerated into The Warrior/Colin Baker.
Old ass 4 that retired and was turned into a cat, regenerated into 5/Colin Baker.
The Curator regenerates into The Artist/Colin Baker.
2 questions

Baynton is 5'10". Age 44.

dugga doo
death to the drashigs
Who doesn't like a Drashig?
I think Billie Piper is like the reversed gender version of like, a really close male friend an otherwise straight man is kinda gay for. Like she's the straight key to an otherwise gay man, and RTD is obsessed with her even post-bogging.
haha dugga doo!
Jesus christ, it's like JJ Abrams writing acclerationism.
just one questions
now that the season is over what am i watching until king of the hill releases? any other sci if shows that are not just grim dark bullshit? already seen all of star gate
rick and morty new season
when is that launching?
It's only girls on that list and would be weird to have Barbara without Ian
it just started
Farscape?
Are you high on bath salts or is this real big finish stuff?
Farscape can get dark at times, but a lot of it is also light. Weird and at times schizo is probably the best way to describe it.
I can confirm that the first and third are real.
adult swim exclusive

“No billie wasn’t even on set. She filmed everything with an incredibly small crew in front of a green screen in London a month or so ago and they just pasted her face onto Ncuti’s body”
Soulless mud, it gets to a point where "movie magic" editing reaches critical mass, and completely flips into just being a CGI shitshow.
It's on Channel 4
Rhys Darby (rhysbros represent)
Emma Watson
A 60th anniversary special with The Toymaker should be the easiest thing in the world. The Toymaker traps the Doctor in the celestial toyroom and conjures up previous incarnations and companions to play his games. This shit writes itself.
oh also why is peri still cute even at the old age of 64?
“I’ve heard, and I also suspected this myself that russell casting billie was a way to increase audience interest (a bit like casting Tennant as 14) and hopefully then make the show more appealing to Disney.”
Ironically, this might end up having the opposite effect. The smell of desperation is palpable. It’s obvious to everyone now that the show has run out of road.
Didn't bog herself
Pic?
I could believe that he was able to get information about Season 2, but I don't believe that he has all of this information
hopefully then make the show more appealing to Disney.
He had three specials and two seasons to do that. You know what would being in viewers? The Daleks.
if dimensions in time is canon, that means eastenders takes place in the same reality as Doctor Who
Dimensions in Time doesn't even make sense in Eastenders canon because it's set in the future and several dead characters are shown alive.
She just needs a good dicking
"Everything in unit after the belinda doctor and ruby scene (which was also heavily reworked in reshoots) was reshoots, as well as the garden and Belinda’s house scene - and the stuff with 13 obviously”
Shame "Andrew" didn't watch Unleashed before he wrote this bullshit might have had people believing he was actually involved in production if that didn't expose this as a fucking bare faced lie.
Some milfs age like the finest wine.
Also she skilfully avoids the wall with good genetics and no poor vanity choices like plastic surgery.
the doctors actions messed with the timestream and killed those characters
I like this because they're actually attainable actors too.
This is what happens when you take someone with a gigantic ego and entirely surround them with yes men. During his first era, they at least had people who would’ve stepped up and told him this was a bad idea. Now no one dares to say ‘no’.
Greenis!
“Nothing is confirmed no, I think billie saw it more of a favour to Russel than anything. She’s happy to do a special or series, but is also fine to just film a quick something in an attempt to help out the show, even if it ends up being no use”
didn't Billie once say at length that she'd never want to do full time Doctor Who again because it's such a time commitment? You have to spend like 9 months in Wales (horrifying)
I don't buy that she's already turned around and said 'actually, 9 months in Wales is fine', so I'm leaning more toward her being a stunt casting for a special
I wish that it would be relative nobodies who actually have the time to do Doctor Who. But I also still want Richard Ayoade to have a go. Or, hell, if we're bringing old faces now, give Paul McGann a series already. He's become brilliant since the movie.
Actually, you know what, as much as I like Billie, they should've just gotten him instead for the emergency regeneration.
series 9 is greenis
I hate David Tennant.
Not just as a Doctor but in general.
I hate his ugly mug, I hate his obnoxious attempts at sounding charismatic that comes off more as "slimy car salesman" than anything. I hate his overacting. I hate him trying to come off as "menacing" which only feels comedic.
Tom Baker is the best Doctor bar none.
RTD, Moffat and Chinball are hacks.
Series 9 is PIgshit.
I have no opinion on the leaker but Unleashed is scripted promo material where they will of course try to show everything in the best light regardless of the facts.
"So I e-mailed Russell with my thoughts about ít. I don't actually know Russell that well, though we had a great rapport on The Second Coming, but we're not big pals, and we don't go out drinking together — though I hope that we will now! So sent this e-mail to him about all the things I've just said, and afterwards 1 felt quite pretentious about sending it... as I do now talking about it! On the last line of the e-mail I put a PS — just on instinct, really — saying ‘If you're ever auditioning for Doctor Who, can you put me on the list?” He never replied to say whether or not he thought the e-mail was pretentious, but he did say 'Of course I will, Of course I'll consider you.’ That was at the end of last year, and now, of course, it's happened!"
Take me back...
Roger Clark
Charlotte Jordan
Watch Lexx (greatest TV show ever made)
Ayoade low key wouldn't work at all. He has no range outside of (awkward atonal nerd). Watch him in Crystal Maze. No presence at all.
Speaking of, what's Edward Tudor Pole doing? I guess he's like 70 now.
We can't have an American as the Doctor. Wouldn't feel right.
Doctor Who is dead.
Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Elon's Sloppy Seconds.
The obvious option is Star Trek, it's just as long running and it did all sorts of stories during its run. Stay away from the newer Kurtzman stuff except for SNW and don't get discouraged by early TNG being too campy.
He even ages like a Time Lord
RTD 20 years ago:
"Again, | think time will take care of this, and simplify. | suspect that when books are being written in 20 years’ time (Doctor Who: What Went Wrong?) they'll find it impossible to refer to both episode one (1963) and episode one (2005). Shorthand will demand that Season TwentySeven and episode 697 slide into existence. | wonder. I'll see you here in 20 years."
Well then.
a woman is ok
retconning the lore is ok
a black zesty doctor is ok
bigeneration is ok
regenerating into a previous doctor or companion is ok
but an american is bad
My issue is that its another actor who comes back to Who.
Who cares every British actor has been in Who at some point
You don't need to explain every returning face, they could have ignored Capaldi returning like they did with C Baker
He has such a terribly nasally voice and zero commanding presence.
It's the worst fan cast around, the only reason anybody suggests it is because he wears glasses.
Which is why we go for fresh new actors. Nobody who has been associated with the show should be considered.
Middle class British people are weird about Americans, because not being American is basically how they define their entire identity.
But then they can't even tell you what British people are.
This used to be a meme on The Bill as well
Elon's Sloppy Seconds
Otherwise known as 'the one who gets eaten first in Silence in the Library'.
Roger Clark is 3/4 Irish and spent enough of his childhood and early adult life in Ireland, Wales and England for it to be ok in my eyes. Besides we just had a Tutsi Doctor for Gods sake, having an Ameri-Mick is almost normal in comparison.
Is there any evidence that Roger Clark can do a British accent?
And because he is good at being amusing, and a man, and human. No one ever seems to bring up Doris the Badger for the Doctor. Fucks sake.
he is good at being amusing
Yes, cry about it.
Africa is more alien to Britain than America. America's culture, and a good percentage of their people are still basically rooted in Britain(or Ireland). That's just the truth.
Julian Barratt as The Doctor

Oh nonono ahahahahaha
Would spaff on in and around
Tennant is the shitcunt who rides a Lambretta and listens to the Stereophonics who moves in with your gf after the IT Team Building weekend.
I've decided I'm finally going to watch all of X-Files, and it's spinoff shows.
Lone Gunmen is fucken great
I love x-files but the main arc is a complete waste of time
we were robbed
smells like cheese
Minuet in Hell is one of the best things in doctor who period. Definitely listen to that. Awesome pacing, great cast, and has a real cool twist on there
AI slop should be banned.
cry and seethe
Foot fetish is bad enough
Jodie foot fetish is gallows tier
Sort yourself out m8
t. tennant fan
destiny of the drashigs
Funniest possible outcome from here is cancellation but Billie Piper's Doctor getting the McGann treatment. A superb 70 volume novel series that no cunt reads.
think of all the vna level dark sex scenes
You have never read a VNA in your short, sad life.
I approve of thus casting
Was it a VMA or a BBC one where Dodo got Space Syphilis from the Marquis de Sade?
They are the virgin adventures after all.
nta but I watched kill the moon which was vna level dark
DUGGA DOO
And it was Moffat-level shit.

The VNAs are insufferable because their characterisation of The Doctor is extremely frustrating. Stop being mysterious and do something, cunt. We've done this dance for a dozen books now it's no longer novel to seem troubled and distant then reveal you were in control all along in the last couple of chapters.
like Androzani then
Chibnall > VNAs
You forgot that the 14th Doctor was 51 years old
old and ugly
He's a handsome man. If only Capaldi wasn't so ugly during his run. He should have been like David Tennant.
youtube.com
even Trilby hates it
Does anyone have the link to that old "HE'S UGLEH" reaction video
Baynton is a top tier choice.
good enough actor and has range
attractive enough for girls to fancy him
not so attractive that guys feel jealous
zesty (but straight) enough for Russel to cast him
Trilby
Been here long?
I'm still surprised Baynton has fangirls. You would have thought they would have over to a younger model by now.
been away too long, my files are a mess
William Hartnell was not as old as I expected
It's because he has a very youthful face and personality. Some people do. My grandfather looked young until he was like 60.
You underestimate how many zoomettes love him just because they watched Horrible Histories as a girl
Mackenzie Crook as The Doctor and Toby Jones as The Master.
Can confirm. My TikTok feed has thirst trap edits of him because I watched a few horrible history clips kek.
Other way around, if anything.
Lance is clearly the villain of Detectorists.
Its got Polly without Ben and Victoria and Zoe without Jamie.
not the same Ian and Barbara are iconic can't have one without the other
Big Finish producer defending Israel
based, begone ML
Not him but all I know about the VNAs is that the doctor always has plans within plans, and Ace shags anything that moves
"Me so funny. But me no kidding." - RTD
desu, the whole narrative on Israel is gay and annoying. Each side just leaping to declare the other side immoral child killers, because it's the only trick they have in their wheel book. And I don't really care who wins, I just don't want to be involved. It's not really my problem.
He did play the character as older than he was and they put him in a wig to age him up, but he's also just an old looking guy. He's not yet 60 in this interview but looks like a man well into his 70s.
youtu.be
VMA, although it was a fictional virus that went inert after the villain that made it died and she didn't have sex with the Marquis de Sade. It was also interpreted as romantic for some ungodly reason.
Still less horrible than what happened to her in Who Killed Kennedy though.
I don't really care who wins
if they get the temple back, Jesus return
like Heaven's Sent episode
Wake me up if it happens, alright?
Jesus isn't a grandpa like Capaldi.
Still less horrible than what happened to her in Who Killed Kennedy though.
God that's a weird book. Wilderness years spinoff media really loved to put the boot into past companions in general. Weird to have swung so far the other way into everyone being best pals now.
My grandfather looked young until he was like 60.
William Hartnell was not as old as I expected
I feel bad for Ncuti. he never really got a chance. He had one season and the writing was so bad
I never notice the console rise and fall any more. Does it even do it? And WHY IS THERE NO VIEWSCREEN???

True but with the caveat that I really enjoyed Tennant's second run, his acting was a lot more mature and subdued. I'd rate it as on par with Ncuti. He beats Tennant's original run though.
Ecclestone > Capaldi > Smith > Ncuti/Tennant 2 > John Hurt > Fat black woman > Tennant 1 >>>>>>>>>>> Jodie
And I don't really care who wins, I just don't want to be involved. It's not really my problem.
So you support ending arms trades to Israel?
So? It's just Cook.
Peri should be more like 'Daaacter'.
Two.
Imagine the 16th Doctor acting like Cassandra..
It wasn't that bad. I mean by current Who standards. It was better than both of Jodie's series. I agree that another season would have been nice for him though. He had a certain emotional weight behind his performance that I really liked. There was sadness even behind his smile, which I think is appropriate for The Doctor.
Just Cock.
He's been in DW stuff since he was like 18 right? Imagine what that would do to a mind.
RTD was saying on Doctor Who Unleashed that he's always wanted an Assistant called "Petrol".
If you know RTD's origin story story you'll know that as a young man, having just presented his first episode of Playschool for the BBC he snuck off to watch Paradise Towers being filmed in the same building. He had been a fan of the show since he was a kid, even writing and illustrating his own Doctor Who comics, so this was too good an opportunity to miss. Having witnessed the filming of perhaps one of the best episodes of his favourite show, he quit Playschool there and then, swearing to himself that he would learn to write and become a TV writer.
He has mentioned on directors commentary for Boom! that he wants to write a sequel to Paradise towers, this would presumably be in series 3 or the Christmas special.
In Paradise towers all the members of the Kangs (kids gangs) are named after objects like Bin-Liner, Fire-Escape, Used-Nodder, Plant-Pot and Oil-Can. It would not be unusual for a Kang to be called "Petrol" at all.
TL:DR
RTD is probably planning for the 16th Doctor's assistant to be a Kang called Petrol.
Probably have them lez up too because he's had straights, Bisexuals, gays and transvestites so far but not a lesbo he's written, yet.
Good. Listening to the echo chamber of fans is what got us into this mess
if you watched it, you are gay, so nothing to say
mocking the very type of production you're participating in
How did he get away with it?
They were filmed as one
Perhaps they should start transmitting the programme on Sundays.
Chibnall read this.
michaela coel?
RTD is probably planning for the 16th Doctor's assistant to be a Kang called Petrol.
Good. Fuck the normalfag NuWho audience.
Why did Belinda look like the soldier from Boom?
Did I imagine it or did Ncuti actually acknowledge this as a mystery to investigate in Belinda's first episode?
ratings out?
Jon was really only 49?
In Paradise towers all the members of the Kangs (kids gangs) are named after objects like Bin-Liner, Fire-Escape, Used-Nodder, Plant-Pot and Oil-Can
Not in the script. Source? The book?
How did Matt get the role so early in his career?
greenis
RTD is probably planning for the 16th Doctor's assistant to be a Kang called Petrol.
When I read this out of context, I thought you were just being racist about niggers.
Obviously. Tax payer money should be being spent making Britain into less of a pig sty. We need to stop giving people shit, full stop.
What does that mean?
Oh yeah, sorry lol, I confused it with The Happiness Patrol.
I would show you, but my files are a mess a right now! can't find a thing
Moffat immediately made the series "his" when he took over so I assume for the sake of having more artistic control he wanted a complete unknown in the main role, someone who won't be popular enough to be able to intervene in the process.
She looks very different, but a still good different.
Sorry, anon. Most of the budget went to the UNIT headquarters, they sacrificed the viewscreen and moving column for the high-tech captain's wheel that rotates a skyscraper.
The main Red Kang was literally called Bin-Liner, are you getting it confused with the BBC detective kino "Beyond Paradise" or something?
is this the Epoch Doctor?
Eastenders characters regularly come back from the dead now. Seriously.
Conrad was fucking right,
I wouldn't mind a modern revision of Paradise Towers. That's episode is actually kind of great.
Well, I mean, it's not, but I really enjoy it.
There's a lot of fun stuff you can do with the idea of whole societies taking form within massive high-rise complexes. Yes, I realise they pretty much just ripped off Ballard.
no bames on the poster
How woke is this?
Whatever happened with the leaks about Omega being a big crab?
The smell of desperation is palpable
I still vividly remember everyone saying how desperate it looked when Chibbers brought back Captain Jack and revealed another secret Doctor
Almost seems quaint, looking back
Is eastenders the one that did the incel plotline where the guy has a physical woman hating meme folder and gets made fun of by a bogged bitch for being a virgin?
The woman on the left is Iranian, just very pale
And, a possible vehicle for the return of the Slytheen.
Sort files by size and click on the largest, it should be the Greenis.
i'm waiting for them to reveal fatboy was under witness protection the whole time. they even brought the actor back last year.
I just confused The Happiness Patrol with Paradise Towers and so was looking at the wrong script. Only two of the names mentioned are in it, anyway.
why britbongs can't name things right
the fuel is gasoline ffs
If they were gonna bring him back in a way that didn’t feel forced, it would’ve been Dot’s funeral.
calling a liquid "gas"
To be fair I made up the idea that a Kang would be named after a used condom for shits and giggles as I suspected nobody would actually read a long post like that. Well done, you passed the test, you're OK.
Anyone here watched The Devil's Hour?
where you need sea devil lead characters to have in depth duologues and emote
I cannot form emotional attachments to characters who do not look like me
Big yikes, problematic much?
"Slippery Johnny"?
She was in the Doctor Who episode where Warwick Davis was the Emperor of the whole universe or something and wanted Carla to be his bride.
comma at the end
Nu-Who has never had a viewscreen. It's weird.

RTD 2004:
"Sometimes, in this job, | have to argue with my own fandom (is that a good scene, or do | like it just because it reminds me of Galaxy 4 ...?). I'm wary of relying on nostalgia, because | think that’s essentially passive. And I’m fearful of heavy continuity, ever since watching the last episode of Revelation of the Daleks in 1985 (I was in my cot, obviously) with a roomful of students; at the climax, when the second batch of Daleks turned up, everyone, but everyone, said, ‘Who the hell are they?’ and wandered off to the kitchen, suddenly bored."
Great to see he's improved!
Amazingly low in wokeness for current BBC.
RTD became what he hated the most
Chib became what he hated the most

Hollyoaks had the incel guy.

It'd be quite difficult for him to become a woman, to be fair.

RTD 2005:
"That it’s very funny, working with an actor who's a Doctor Who fan. Though funnily enough, | didn't learn this on the set of Doctor Who, but on Casanova, currently filming in Manchester for next year's BBO schedules (it's racing Doctor Who to the screen). David Tennant, a brilliant actor, a lovely man, and a Big Finish stalwart, is playing the man himself, and rehearsals are a right old laugh. We're honoured to have Peter O'Toole playing the Older Casanova, and at one point, both young and old versions of the character appear in the same scene. I tell David not to touch him, or they might explode and short out the time differential. Ho ho. Later, there's another scene where Casanova begs for his patron's life... in front of Three Doctors. Oh, we hoot. And then there's a problem — David's got brown eyes, Peter O'Toole's are famously blue, how are we going to sort that out? Easy. Stand in front of an exploding lighthouse. Oh my sides. You had to be there."
they put the screen on the console.
Also, Smith's first set had one on the wall.
Do you think he panicked to himself when he realised where he got the idea of the functionally immortal non-human being who is fascinated by humans, having a granddaughter called "Susan" from?
