Doctor Who

Looks like season 20 is the next classic series to get the blu-ray treatment.

It annoys me more than it should that they use "season" rather than "series".

The term is mostly used interchangeably in the UK, but I think in this context it's used to differentiate between classic Who and nu Who, but even back in the 80s/90s in some of the reference books I have, they list them as seasons instead of a series, so series is kinda the newer thing.

Blink and you miss it.

A little something for Nu-Who fans

They are remastering series 1-4 for a blu ray collection.

There has been some work being done to animate telesnaps, these clips look good but obviously a big jankey, plus they have announced that they will be attempting to animate a full and it's going to be an episode of The Highlanders.

You can follow the project through their patreon.

I watch Classic Who on Pluto from time to time. Watched part of The Deadly Assassin last night before I crashed. 

They actually air the Shada reconstruction with a mix of the footage that was actually filmed and animation from time to time. I highly recommend checking it out. Especially for the very last scene.

I believe they recently redone Shada as a full animation.

There's a version of Shada, using audio from Big Finish with Paul McGann and Lala Ward. So its the 8th Doctor and Romana. Its was done using Flash animation of comic strip panels, in 2005. The version I'm referring to was done in 2017, using the existing footage that was actually filmed, and the rest done as animation with the surviving cast members reprising their roles.

 

[TheWho87]

I think we've had enough Shada for now, now animate something useful, like Space Pirates.

New trailer, it's also been announced that the show is returning in November.

The BBC has announced a new side show called Doctor Who: Unleashed will air on BBC Three hosted by Steffan Powell that will be a behind the scenes tyler show similar to the old Confidential series.

 

Also something fo the dalek nerds

Listened to an 8th Doctor Big Finish called Horror Of Glam Rock (nothing to do with the 4th Doctor serial Horror Of Fang Rock), and didn't realize until almost halfway through that one of the actors was Bernard Cribbins.

New theme anyone?

 

[Captain Kirk]

Decided to watch from the start of the reboot again, always loved Eccleston as the Doctor.

I've spent almost two years getting through the classic series. Good luck to anyone attempting that plus the revival era in three weeks!

Its so weird comparing the Doctor Who 60th lineup to the 50th. We've now got 2 Tennants and a Doctor 0!

2 Tennants, Jodie, and whatever Ruth is. But I still think she's a fake out or 2.5. We never actually saw 2 regenerate into 3, after all. Could have regenerated 2 into her, used her as an agent only to go rogue, be captured, mind-wiped, and forced to become 3. 

Or, she could actually be Jenny, calling herself the Doctor, thinking the real Doctor is dead for some reason (acquiring her own TARDIS during the Time War). That could be why her and 13 didn't recognize each other. Any thing that makes Ruth pre-1 (Hartnell) will be bullshit.

As for the new theme, I like it. But my favorite new era ones are still Tennant's and the rock version they used for one Capaldi episode.

I prefer this to what I believe is the current canon of being pre-Hartnell (I haven't actually seen the Timeless Child stuff).
