AndyElusive posted:I mean, he said no to the 50th Special, poor Nick Briggs has to voice Nine for BF, and he's the least involved in anything to do with the show of practically every living actor who's played the part of The Doctor. It could also just be that there were contract negotiations that didn't work out for the 50th and that if you ask a guy who's clearly trying to establish himself in the LA, Hollywood movie scene "Hey, man, wanna do some low-ish budget radio dramas for a TV show you did twelve years ago?" he might be inclined to say "Well, maybe when I have some time, Uncle Dalek."

jivjov posted:Do you have a source on that? The worst I've heard him say is that he had some disagreements with some of the production staff from his season. That wouldn't be a problem for coming to do Big Finish. Christopher Eccleston posted:I left Doctor Who because I could not get along with the senior people. I left because of politics. I did not see eye-to-eye with them. I didn’t agree with the way things were being run. I didn’t like the culture that had grown up around the series. So I left, I felt, over a principle. So yeah, hate for the production team/environment.

Bicyclops posted:There's no source either way and he's probably just, as you say, exploring other stuff in his career and busy, but he definitely did have some issues with the direction on the show, enough so that he found the experience unpleasant. It doesn't help that professional, polite actors would definitely say "Oh yeah, wonderful fans, not time for me to go back to that yet, but I hope all the best for the show its & current actors" is just the kind of thing someone would say whether they hated the show or really were just taking some space from it. I get what you're saying, but everything I've read about Chris indicates that he's not big on that kind of bullshit. He'll be tactful, but he's not false. See his recent interview at Vox, where he talks about The Leftovers and how he'd prefer it if every religion in the world would be better if their leaders renounced their faiths. He's not a gladhander.

I agree with you, and he certainly didn't hold back about his issues with the show, but "Ecc hates Who" is always going to be a thing unless he ends up deciding to do one (not a dig at AndyElusive, who I think is just referencing it rather than subscribing to it).

And just to be clear my knowledge of the 50th and Ecclestons coming and goings doesn't make me think any worse of him.

He was definitely up for doing the 50th if Euros Lyn (or Joe Ahearne, I can't remember which) had be hired to direct it.

Ahearne, and I always thought it was notable that neither of them came back, not just Chris. Especially after Ahearne was the most prolific, and probably the best, director the first season had (and came up with a number of iconic shots). (He also did Ultraviolet, he's a great director.)

By Moffat's account, he had the storyboards drafted and the script more than halfway written but he couldn't go any farther without knowing whether or not Eccleston would be involved, which is when he and Eccleston finally met and they talked about the story. There has never been any account of Eccleston doing wardrobe fittings or whatnot.

echoplex posted:I dunno, but Den of Geek saw that and the use of Eurostile in the graphics and sent me an email about it those both being RD homages, then made an article out of my half-guessed ramblings, which is slightly amusing: A lot of the design choices felt like early Red Dwarf to me, but I fully admit to having limited exposure to British sci-fi aside from Doctor Who, Red Dwarf, and The Prisoner. And Alien, if we're counting that. So it's entirely possible I'm missing an established reference history, like people who only know film noir from parodies. I have seen the first eight seasons of Red Dwarf, many, many times, however, and whether deliberate or not, those design choices made it feel more "lived-in" and less like a one-off set. The control panel was enough of a callback for me to crane my neck and see if the keyboards were Commodore 64s or VIC-20s. If they were, as one of the very few US Commodore fanboys, I would probably have irritated my family with a little dance, so I guess it's for the best.

If you want a movie to catch, Dark Star directed by John Carpenter is pretty goddamn good. It's a huge influence on Red Dwarf, Alien, and Red VS Blue.

After The War posted:I saw that a zillion years ago, and would probably appreciate it more now that I'm not, y'know, a kid. It's a really good movie. But it's got a very adult kind of humor to it- not that it's high brow or any poo poo like that, but that it's stuff kids would be more confused about.

The_Doctor posted:Oh god, Volume Two: The Smug Year As much as I'd love to see another Donna series, I am willing to give it a go to see if Big Finish can rehabilitate Rose the same way they did Mel. AndyElusive posted:Well we know Tennant likes BF. Jury is still out on Matt Smith! Smith was interviewed the past year saying he'd absolutely be up for it, but they haven't asked him yet. I assume there's some sort of sunset clause in the BBC/BF agreement that it has to be either so many years after a Doctor steps down or until his successor steps down before a current series Doctor can do audios. Which means most likely we'll see 11th Doctor Full Cast with Matt Smith in 2018.

Nothing against BF, but a full cast 11th Doc audio series is probably the only thing that could get me into the audios. I've listened to a handful of 8 stories but the format just doesn't grab me. (And yes, I've tried the usual recommended stories.) This season is still solid, but I found this episode pretty lacking. I'm not sure I even understand what story purpose Bill "dying" served. There's better ways to demonstrate the dangers of trusting the Doctor, or how he often lies to downplay threats. That qualm aside, I think the episode could've used a rewrite that emphasized the cold and inhuman business practices at play more than what we got. I'm still really happy with the chemistry between Bill and 12. She's the companion Capaldi should have had from the start. That's not a knock on Coleman or Clara, and I understand the logic behind leaving a familiar face in the tardis while you introduce a new Doctor, but I was never sold on their relationship. Clara seems like the kind of person who would have left 12 for good early on.

I figured Bill's death was making us think the Doctor stamping around going DIE WELL YOU FUCKS was him going into despair over losing a companion like he did with Clara, a bit of a bait and switch.

There may have been production restrictions but some of that came off really poorly in the latest episode. Why waste spacewalking time on two characters we don't know at the start, and then tell not show the Doctor saving Bill by sacrificing his own health? Also that photo of Bill's Mum floating over her as she "died" was pretty cringeworthy. My wife spent the rest of the night puzzling how Bill survived, so it certainly wasn't explained very well.

Speaking of leaving a familiar face in the TARDIS when a new doctor comes along, whose to say that Bill being gay doesn't lead to a possible romance angle with the new Doctor?
