Dr Who and the first 4 episodes on BBC iPlayer

Post by **dng** » Fri Nov 24, 2023 5:11 pm

I think I genuinely hated this

Post by **dng** » Fri Nov 24, 2023 5:12 pm

Edited down so thoroughly there's no tension, plot, character, nothing.

Post by **Bruce Sato** » Fri Nov 24, 2023 5:13 pm

I bet it didn't even have anti-radiation gloves.

If I wanted to watch dr who and the daleks in colour I could have just watched the Peter Cushing version

Only £64.99

Have they destroyed the black and white version now, Lucas style?

Ugh! I don't think I'll bother watching it, now.

Its not the editing that's the issue so much as letting the (new) music be mixed by so badly so that it drowns out the dialogue. What is the point of that?

Did they let Murray Gold back in to the mixing studio?

I expect everything Dr Who related now has to be signed off by RTD.

Well that was definitely a Russell T Davies David Tennant episode of doctor who

Post by **Pual** » Sat Nov 25, 2023 7:50 pm

It certainly was

i just found this old doctor who thing i wrote ten years ago which wasn't on accumulation of things for some reason

https://accumulationofthings.com/things ... episode-4/

so here it is now

Post by **Bruce Sato** » Mon Nov 27, 2023 8:34 pm

Hooray

I always lock the bathroom door, in case Dr Oho appears.

Post by **vom** » Mon Nov 27, 2023 11:02 pm

I wasn't particularly fussed about new Who but then some friends were talking about it and I wanted to join in so I watched it

And I loved it

So there we go

Post by **dng** » Mon Nov 27, 2023 11:06 pm

hooray

i wonder if they'll bring mickey back

Post by **dng** » Tue Nov 28, 2023 12:49 am

Mickey is in another dimension

Post by **dng** » Tue Nov 28, 2023 12:49 am

along with john barrowman, presumably

Post by **endar** » Tue Nov 28, 2023 12:57 am

Their own deluded brain dimension

along with that other twat

No, he's writing it again

Post by **blombluss** » Tue Nov 28, 2023 4:34 pm

I wish Metal Mickey was an assistant to the boctor.

Post by **dng** » Sat Dec 09, 2023 7:57 pm

I quite enjoyed these doctor who’s but some of the editing in them has been utterly baffling terrible. If you can’t even manage to film some actors throwing a ball about without cutting every two seconds you should probably be banned from attempting to film some actors throwing some balls around

Post by **richschnauzer** » Sun Dec 10, 2023 10:28 am

anyone watch Boctor Dooo last night?

Post by **vom** » Sun Dec 10, 2023 11:38 am

I enjoyed the new ones quite a bit, although the first and third ones felt overstuffed and the second one felt really padded

I prefer overstuffed

Post by **Pual** » Sun Dec 10, 2023 12:39 pm

Didn’t they do the end of Flash Gordon rip-off last time that David tenants died?

Post by **dng** » Sun Dec 10, 2023 7:57 pm

They've definitely done it at least once before

Post by **vom** » Sun Dec 10, 2023 9:19 pm

The question is, why aren't they ripping it off more often

Post by **dng** » Sun Dec 10, 2023 10:18 pm

they should have played american football at the end

Post by **Pual** » Mon Dec 11, 2023 8:32 am

They did

Post by **dng** » Mon Dec 11, 2023 8:18 pm

oh rightm well it should have starred timothy dalton then

Post by **dng** » Mon Dec 11, 2023 8:18 pm

again

Post by **blombluss** » Mon Dec 11, 2023 8:26 pm

I've just found out that Fulton Mackay was considered for the Doctor Who role after Pertwee (I think it was). I think he would've had the gravitas to do the role justice.

It's no Doctor in Distress

Russell T Davies obviously got a labyrinth dvd too when he bought his copy of flash gordon

Post by **vom** » Tue Dec 19, 2023 10:57 pm

I decided to watch the Capaldi episodes that I previously skipped and a few of them were good enough that I'm glad I did

Now I feel like I need to do the same for the last few Jodie Whittaker episodes but nobody seems to like that last "flux" mini series very much

Post by **dng** » Tue Dec 19, 2023 11:02 pm

That was genuinely abysmal in almost every way (so abysmal I never bothered watching any of the ones after)

Post by **dng** » Tue Dec 19, 2023 11:02 pm

so i have no idea how she died

Post by **dng** » Tue Dec 19, 2023 11:03 pm

or even who her companions were by then

Post by **vom** » Tue Dec 19, 2023 11:17 pm

poor Jodie Whittaker

Post by **dng** » Tue Dec 19, 2023 11:28 pm

she's in a better place now

Post by **dng** » Tue Dec 19, 2023 11:28 pm

assuming she's not in something else written by chris chibnall

Post by **dng** » Tue Dec 19, 2023 11:28 pm

or on itv

Post by **dng** » Tue Dec 19, 2023 11:28 pm

or both

To be fair, I actually watched all of her episodes and yet have no idea how she died either.

Something about the master probably but mainly because it’s normally something about the master in the new ones

It only needed to have him in leather trous and it would have been exactly the same as labyrinth
