Amph Doctor Who Discussion (Russell T. Davies returns)

11 would have definitely have been there (given Matt Smith hadn't announced his departure until after filming on the Day of the Doctor had wrapped), and I'm presuming given how much Tennant loves Doctor Who and probably understood the significance of the anniversary, he'd have participated regardless of whether Eccleston participated or not.

 

Some interesting character (and potential) plot information revealed in this RadioTimes interview by new cast member Sharon D. Clarke.

 

So I went to my first con this weekend, and...

Big Finish "New Series" spoiler:

Spoiler

Michelle Gomez as Missy is back, facing River Song! Recorded a week or two ago, apparently. Source: heard it from her own mouth.

Also, (unrelatedly), seeing Peter Capaldi's face after talking about the difficulty of figuring out the costume and saying "imagine taking your pants on and off for 8 hours" was hilarious.
And Colin Baker and Michael Jayston are exactly as hilarious together as you'd expect. (Assuming you'd expect them to be hilarious). They had a panel where they moderated themselves, and it was 50% good-natured (and inaccurate) snark about each other's (lack of) talent.

 

On March 26th, 2005, this was broadcast over BBC 1:

 

Lest we forget...


...and...

 

I've got a question re: the "Tom Baker Season 1" set due for release in the States in June. From the details on Amazon, they're all Blu-Ray discs. Will this be offered in a DVD/Blu-Ray combo? I ask because my library will only stock combo releases, and more Classic releases are needed for the collection.

 

On this date in 2010, this was broadcast over BBC 1:

 

Today's trip!

 

Looks like the setting for "The Sontaran Experiment", specifically where the Doctor and Styre fight it out.

 

Happy Birthday to...

 

Classic Who
On another (Who-centric) message board, a notorious cynic with trollish tendencies seems to be hinting that Classic Who serial Web of Fear will be getting a special edition later this year with its previously missing episode 3 intact. Web's missing episode 3 has been a source of frustration to many Who fans as it contains the first appearance of the Brigadier, albeit only ranking as colonel for his original story.

The poster in question can be a bit of a ****, however he has always been very negative in the past, so maybe he actually knows something. Anyway, I thought it might be worth mentioning for long-time fans.

 

Where am I today?

 

Is that the Church used in Vincent and the Doctor?

 

That looks like the location from Matt's Silurian two-parter.

 

That was my second guess. I know it's one of those two.

 

Older than those

 

Remembrance Of The Daleks?

 

Is it the site for Donna's wedding in The End of Time?

 

Is it The Daemons.

Or Father's Day?

 

The war memorial is significant

 

End of Family of Blood?

 

"Curse of Fenric"? It's been a while since I've seen it; I could very well be wrong.

 

Belated Happy Birthday to...



...and to...

 

Closest guess yet!

 

Ah, Battlefield, where Morgaine has a moment of cease fire to honour the dead of the world wars.
