Of these, which would you recommend for someone that just wants to try out radio drama (so a standalone story)? I'm also not that familiar with Classic Who but I can probably roll with it.

computer parts posted:Of these, which would you recommend for someone that just wants to try out radio drama (so a standalone story)? I'm also not that familiar with Classic Who but I can probably roll with it. Probably either Spare Parts or Jubilee. Spare Parts is a great Cyberman origin story and Jubilee is a really  Dalek story that also has some really funny tongue-in-cheek moments, especially at the beginning. I recommend the latter if you're getting used to the format. It has an audio only companion, Evelyn, but all you really need to know about her is that she's a retired professor, has been traveling with the Doctor for awhile, and just experienced a moment which made her feel a little wary of him. It's also written by thread favorite, Robert Shearman and technically the episode, Dalek was loosely based on it (although to be honest, it's better if you go in without the expectation it's at all going to resemble that story).

It's quite Adamsesque at points, if only his darker elements. Also it has a giant talking penguin as the companion. Just roll with it.

I wanted to ask ya'll something because I greatly enjoy hearing the responses. Can you list the defining moment for each Doctor? By that I mean, the scene or action or plot point that you think defines that particular Doctor or the thing that you think characterizes the Doctor the most?

Nine – The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances – “Everybody lives! Just this once, everybody lives!” After all he’s seen during the Time War, the Doctor gets one moment where everything goes perfectly right. It’s his pure joy that shines out through the PTSD he’d been hiding in previous episodes. CobiWann fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Sep 18, 2014 |

Ten's is the "I'm the Time Lord victorious!" shouting bit and then his subsequent sadness following the suicide. Either that or when Davros scolds him about what he does to his companions.

Random Stranger posted:Doesn't an independent Scotland mean that the BBC has to cut the budget on all shows by a quarter? Chances are that some sort of deal would be made that the scots continue to pay the license fee and continue to get BBC programmes, with a certain percentage made in scotland with predomantly scottish actors/crew (Much like already happens with BBC Scotland). If anything it would help the BBC out because screwing over the BBC is less of a priority for scottish conservatives than it seems to be for the london party. Of course any or all of this could be wrong, and in any case depends on there being a yes vote today which is pretty much a 50/50 shot at this stage. Besides, if they do cut the budget of doctor who by a quarter it will make very little difference, three quarters of gently caress all is still gently caress all.

Ahaha, look at this stupid thing I found poking around on some other wiki. Thanks, article about toothbrushes! http://dwexpanded.wikia.com/wiki/Doctor_Who_Expanded Here, have a sample. quote:During the time it took for the time lords to arrive, the war Doctor fell into a coma, where he met his previous incarnations, the first seven who where ganging up on his preceding incarnation. When they threatened to unite to stop the current Doctor, this incarnation laughed and attacked after proclaiming them weak. He locked the Seventh Doctor in a room inhabited by all those he wronged, the Fifth he chained in a vault within a vault within a vault at the very depths of his mind, the First he literally beat to death, the Sixth he tortured by stabbing him repeatedly in the face, the Second he dissected, the Third he forced to be experimented on by humans, and the Fourth he shot at with a machine gun, while Eight ran away in fear. Upon awakening, he proclaimed"Doctor no more", saying that all of them were gone. Oh, have the toothbrush article too. http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Toothbrush I hope this project for a new wiki some of you guys were talking about goes well.

Evil Sagan posted:Those clocks and Capaldi's performances are the only good things about this season thus far. I will literally fight you. Over the clocks that is, Capaldi has been aces for me so far too. If they got rid of the clocks the new credits would be merely "Kind of bad". With the clocks they pretty much look like they belong to a mid budget CBBC show from the mid 90s. The fact that they didnt even come up with the idea themselves but licensed the not at all cliched "Clocks in the credits for a time travel show" from a fan video is frankly embarrassing.

It'd be easy to say it's the "One day, I shall come back" speech for One, but I actually think it's when he's about to leave after Dodo runs off and Polly and Ben stumble in. There's that change in his expression and speech when he talks about how he thought that for once he was truly going to be completely alone. For Six it's probably that sanctimonious speech he delivers at the Timelords during his trial.

Are we talking "most memorable" or "best characterises" here? Because for "best characterises" I'm taking this scene from Ghost Light for McCoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwU4WI_V64w The sniper scene is great and memorable, but it's missing Ace. Possibly more so than any other Doctor, you can't really have McCoy without Ace. drat it all, now I want to go watch Ghost Light again.

Controversial opinion: I love the new opening. I think the shrill oo-ee-oo is a lot more appropriately eerie compared to the straightforward bombast of earlier revival themes, and I have no idea why neat clocks and gears are any more offensive than silly CGI wobbly tunnel effects. It's not like wobbly cgi tunnels are any more true to the original abstract opening sequence. I mean, I can see some grumpy folks not liking change and rejecting it, but the universal condemnation it's received here is just bizarre. It's awesome.

Clocks are the laziest most pedestrian thing to have in the opening for a programme about time travel. It's like a medical drama having stethoscopes whirling around as the title sequence.

Jon Pertwee, from 14:15 http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1294ov_day-of-the-daleks-part-1_shortfilms There's no other moment that defines him quite so well as completely misunderstanding the polite invitation to "treat the house as your own", and immediately confiscating the finest wine and cheese for himself. If you want to stretch the definition of a "moment", we even get a bit of UNIT shenanigans and then some Venusian judochoppery about five minutes later, at the end of the night. All that's missing is a good old rub of the lip and dressing up as a comedy washerwoman.
