Rochallor posted:I think it might have been overlooked in the new episode fervor (at least, I didn't see anything about it in the thread) but apparently the third episode of Web of Fear was found, but it was stolen before it could be returned. Phillip "Not The Cigarette Company" Morris is not a terribly reliable source for factual information on this topic, despite being integral to whatever happened. He seems to have some kind of self-aggrandizing need to be the Most Important Who Fan and a bizarrely bi-polar relation to leaking rumors. In a few months he will be on the verge of having several more lost episodes that we will beg him for right before they vanish completely due to somebody inadvertently tweeting their interest.

Astroman posted:A few years ago I had a mental wishlist of stuff that I'd love to see from BF, and while the list is constantly updated, they've delivered on almost all of it--4th Doctor, a great Anniversary, bringing back The Valeyard, full cast adventures in the first 3 Doctors' eras, and now New Series Adventures with Captain Jack, River, and 10. Pretty much the only things I can think of would be getting David Bradley and Sean Pertwee to do 1 and 3. At this point, I'd literally say anything is possible for BF. More of Frazer Hines doing 2 also plz. The 13 Doctors will be amazing.

Picklepuss posted:I have never understand why she's so beloved by the fans. Don't get me wrong, I liked Sarah Jane but I don't get it. Why her? She was a professional woman who had and occasionally got to use her skillset proactively instead of only being a damsel-in-distress. She was kidnapped as much as any other companion of course, but she still had an air of competence and self-direction even when terrified. I am delighted by pretty much all of the side-humans of Who (Dodo and latter-day Adric excepted), but she is a high point of the Classic series for more than just being there when Tom Baker was. Also she is a top-tier cutie who I want to hug forever.

twistedmentat posted:Yea, but that's a little different than having a hidden power or something else. Clara is shown to explicitly give the young Doctor advice that sets him on the path to become who he was to become. The earlier stuff with her in in earlier episodes was explained by insane bravery by leaping into the Doctor's time stream was fine. Plus we got to see 80s versions of Clara. We don't know how much of that was original flavor plot or just an open-time-loop's worth of repairing the damage done by the Great Intelligence. The Doctor probably didn't need Clara's help until Bad Guy Time Shenanigans happened and Clara had to become super-special timepal. Or so I choose to believe. Clara's been great, but occasionally Moffat's cute script tricks need a bit of headiting.

Cleretic posted:I had an idea like this ages ago, of a villain who was just a normal modern-age guy but made himself a strong and credible Doctor-level threat by just salvaging enough Dalek/Cybermen/Sontaran/whatever tech and using it himself. He'd disappear somehow at the end of the episode, only to come back in an entirely different place and time, because he knows exactly what the best piece of alien tech that ever hit Earth was, and stows away on it until they take him somewhere good. Sooooo, the billionaire/collector/jerk Henry van Statten from "Dalek" but also he survives? They never really did wrap up with whatever his secretary does with all that alien tech after she wipes van Statten's mind and takes over. Once Eccles and Rose leave with Adam-The-Two-Ep-Companion it's not really an overly important issue for Earth's development I guess.

Cleretic posted:I was picturing something like Statten in stature, but Grayle in personal strengths. In my mind this theoretical character's a lot smarter and a lot more willing to use their tools than Statten; I'm picturing them in Cyberman-based armor with Dalek weaponry, maybe wired up to some greater system they took from a spaceship. The idea itself came from trying to think of the few times when the antagonist of a story was straight-up just a non-puppeted, in-control human, so I'd see them as being on top of the tech. No accidentally triggering dangerous subsystems, getting consumed by the tech or losing control of some part of things, this one's a threat entirely by their own intentions. Perhaps not a match for the Doctor in intellect, but they know what they're doing, what they shouldn't, and what they want. Lex Luthor without the monologuing. Got it. Actually, that's kind of what I wish from a hypothetical TV return for the Rani, humanity notwithstanding. She was evil, but pretty much focused on her monstrous science crap and moderate planetary domination and not so much self-destructively obsessed with messing with the Doctor's head and constantly threatening to destroy the universe like the Master. She just wanted to kill a bunch of people because that's just how you Science. Not that I'd want to take any attention away from Michelle Gomez; there might not be enough room left in the universe for another evil time lady with a semi-grudge against the Doctor. I don't know if the Big Finish Rani is any good, but I should look into it.

Mind Loving Owl posted:So, what the Hell was that Time Tot (Timepole?) doing in the middle of the desert? Do the Time Lords just have child sentries stationed across the planet in case the Doctor makes a dramatic entrance? He was just a short hike outside of that bubbletown after all. And we only see that far in a couple directions, so could be the kid was just out on a walk looking for some succulent timeagave to make into timetequila or timepotatoes to make timevodka (I assume the boy is Tom Baker). Also if that kid was going to be a Time Lord he may have been instinctively drawn to places of meaningful historical value or some other such silliness.

More notes on that list: Both City of Death (T.Bakes/Romana II) and Pirate Planet (T.Bakes/Romana I/K-9) are specifically Douglas Adams penned during his showrunner span and have really fun dialogue. The Horror of Fang Rock is a high mark for base-under-siege horror and has Leela being pretty awesome at Tom. The Green Death is full-on Pertwee and has both the Brigadier in his prime and Jo's swansong. And The Mind Robber is an alternately brilliantly and stupidly weird Troughton adventure with Jamie and Zoe both being adorable.

Rochallor posted:I honestly have no idea how you can be looking forward this much to Nicholas Briggs + Time War. I mean, John Hurt's great and all, but there's only so much he can do to overcome that. Audio is one of the best possible mediums to actually present something as possibly weird as the Time War. It could be not worth the effort, but there's a lot of potential for greatness there yet.

It was actually pretty solid too, save for some of the episode-long running jokes not being that great. My apologies to the thread. I remembered being surprised that it was good back when I watched it and must have aneurysmed him back into the show. RIP in Peace, Hollies.

Young Chatterton seems to have wedged himself into a- now what is that thing? I shall have to take a sample. Never mind the doors and do fetch me a trowel and bucket, there's a good entity. Hmmm. 2: I say, how did you know? It's quite nice to be recognized. Any case, don't panic. I'm sure there's a perfectly innocent and safe explanation for why I'm at your door. Quickly now. They're probably not right at our heels or anything... like... that. Oh, hello. Can you help us with this door? No? Very well. Must be off. Jamie, Zoe, sprightly now. 3: I think you'll find that command of this door has been recently re-assigned to me. Never mind reading the entire document, I assure you everything is in order. If you value your career and the lives of every man on this base you must do as I say! And have someone wash my car. 4: What a fascinatingly primitive structure this is. You know, I was there when doors were invented. It's a particularly interesting tale since it was right before they realized that locks would also be useful. Speaking of locks, someone seems to have picked yours while we were talking just now. You should probably have that looked at. Anyway, hello. I'm the Doctor. Don't mind me, I'm off to find you a qualified doorsmith. 5: Well done! I wasn't sure if you'd remember me since it's been a few hundred years since I last saved your society, but I suppose android memory banks aren't as corruptible as they thought. Do please let us in before the sigma-radiation and lack of air becomes a problem. Also you're all in danger. 6: How did a lesser intellect like you figure that out? Was it the 7, no 8, armed security drones pointed at my head? Do be sure to send me the recording, I'm looking especially fabulous today. Now LET ME IN. 7: Yes, I am. Arrrn't I. But on which side of wwhich door have I knocked? Are you quite sure? Look again. 8: Am I? Doesn't sound like me. I don't knock much, as a rule. I'll come round again when I'm more myself. Oh dear, I seem to have let my "self" in. Now you can go outside, you knock and I'll guess.
