The Keys of Marinus is pretty much a video game fetch quest, and I love it for it. I whish we'd see something like this in the modern show. Some plot having the Doctor travel around adventuring in different weird places for a couple of episodes.

Yeah, that's what Moffat generally does. I think Eleven pulled out the psychic paper for such a thing once, and it failed.

I kind of hope they keep the whole Coal Hill thing as a cute coincidence and nod to the older series, and not the center of some big decade-spanning metaplot retroactively applied to Hartnell's run.

Every time Moffat talks about upcoming developments in the show, my penis sort of shrinks inside my body.

Nope, it turns out Coal Hill is now dedicated to churning out companions in potentia for the Doctor.

I spend time specifically for them only. Make a cup of tea, throw some headphones on, lay back and enjoy. Or when I go to bed, like you said. I guess they'd work for walks or biking too but much more extra activity than that and I don't really focus on the story any more and miss bits.

They're perfect for walks or long car drives. I can attest. I listened to virtually the whole of S1 of the 8th Doctor ones (starting with Blood of the Daleks) as I drove across Washington state.

Just watched Utopia on tv. Completely forgot what an excellent episode it is. Probably my favourite of the Tennant era.

As soon as he pulled the fob watch out, I remember being like "oh hell no".

The final ten minutes of Utopia, from the moment he pulls out the pocket watch, is one of the best bits of revival Who for me. The Doctor screaming at Martha "What did he say?!" as he realises exactly what's about to happen.

If you've seen Time Crash, you can read Ten's :stare:

face as him remembering being Five and meeting future-Ten who told him about having just met the Master and realising that that time is now...

Maybe someone can help me with remembering an episode�

It�s a Sixth Doctor serial. Colin Baker walks into a room, immediately points off-screen, and yells �VILLAIN!� Followed by several other unflattering terms.

I�ve had that image stuck in my head since last night and I can�t, for the life of me, remember which story it�s from!

Are you mis-remembering the 6th Doctor comic story 'Voyager'? There's a scene where exactly that happens.

You should get the Voyager graphic novel, it's really good. Also, huh, I've never seen that before. I need to watch more Colin. We all know how pitifully small that section of the DVD Behemoth is. I don't even have what some would call a classic.

Just saw an ad for that WWE Studios movie Oculus and it's weird hearing Karen Gillan speak without her native Scottish accent.

I wish they'd have a crack at some of the BBC EDA books to adapt to audio. They've already had an actor play Fitz, just get him back, and then find a Sam or Anji.

OR in the same vein, they could tap the PDAs too. I'd love an audio of Festival of Death, and now they've got Tom and Lalla, they could! Or Sylv and Soph for Illegal Alien, as I love that one.

Hope it's okay to cross-post about the Doctor Who: The Adventure Games LP thread I started in here http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3621750

It's not a very fun game to play, but I think it has some merit, so I think an LP is a decent format to experience the game.

I've always been really torn with it because on one hand it's an abysmal game, but it's clear the people making it really do know and get the show.

The problem with Doctor Who is that any video game based off it needs to be absolutely massive in scope and options.

Point and click is a perfectly valid way to go, but it needs something of the scope of the Lucasarts games (Monkey Island or The Dig especially) with all sorts of conversation options and big inventory and whatnot.

OR it should go the RPG route and be a big Mass Effect style game, giving the player to interact with all sorts of characters, explore a wide variety of detailed and populated locations, complete all sorts of side-quests and so on. Let the player create their own Doctor character and deal with problems how they see their Doctor dealing it with them (diplomacy, jiggery-pokery or Mr. Rock).
