I hope we get a TARDIS redesign soon. I love the late-11/12 console room...but I like it when it changes up

This is in the front lobby of the Doctor Who Experience. I looked up not expecting to see it. It was....unsettling. Related note, Mondasian Cybermen are creepy as hell up close. I think it's them smelling like latex hospital gloves, really adds to the visceral body horror feel.

There must be a Law for the exponential occurrence of regenerations. I'm not saying it's happened yet in DW. But 'special events' that draw viewership must have a tendency to be increasingly relied on in shows.

Yeah, I think Chibnall will change a whole ton, and the console room will be included. I hope the theme son gets a lot less busy but includes, in some form, a picture of Thirteen's face.

Chibnall: In fact, due to BBC contractual vagaries, all of the surviving actors who portrayed the Doctor, including Tom Baker's wax dummy, are coming back, in separate TV shows. BBC programming is now entirely Doctor Who based. Crowd member: What about those of us who don't like Doctor Who? Eccleston: Yeah!

Hearing Rob Shearman talk about Eccleston discovering the classic series after he had already left ("why didn't you tell me it was good?!") warmed my heart.

Cojawfee posted:Wait, Ecclestone didn't even bother to see the earlier Doctor Who? A lot of actors will intentionally avoid seeing any previous material for the role they're playing so that they can do a fresh take on it and avoid imitating hallmark performances. It's a way of keeping themselves from being handcuffed by upward comparisons right out of the gate, and it's a preference thing, and I respect it a lot, particularly for a show like Doctor Who, that intentionally sheds its skin every now and then to try to work with new audiences.

Cojawfee posted:I just find it odd that someone from the UK had never seen any Doctor Who. It's not that surprising - it's just something that exists in UK pop culture; everyone knows what a Dalek is, or that the TARDIS is a blue police box, and that Tom Baker had a long scarf - if pressed, they might be able to recognise a (Peter Davison era) cyberman, K-9, and that Jon Pertwee was also Doctor Who. It's something you can grow up having knowledge of, without having seen anything or having any interest in. A US analogue would be Star Trek; pretty sure most people could tell you that Captain Kirk is the captain of the Enterprise, Spock is an alien with a salute, and that Scotty beams people places (mostly up or down), and they fight Klingons - without having watched a single episode ever.

Plus, if you grew up somewhere roughly adjacent to the Wilderness Years, it wasn't even ubiquitous. Matt Smith was like that, although he made a point to watch a bunch of the really early stuff after he got the job. My favorite part of that story is that he called Moffat really late at night after seeing a Troughton Cyberman episode because it resonated so much with him.

I feel like Doctor Who has a different kind of profile in Britain compared with Star Trek in America. I feel like there's a bigger and wider sense of affection for Doctor Who; no doubt a combination of its status as more of a children's programme and the smaller audience. But compare the fiftieth anniversary of Doctor Who to the fiftieth anniversary of Star Trek.

More succinctly, Star Trek has a reputation for being a "nerd" show whereas Doctor Who is a "family" show.

That maybe now, but for years the BBC tried to pretend Doctor Who never even existed. Star Trek had a animated series, 6 films, & 3 spin off shows, one of which also got 4 films, and a reboot film series. Davros1 fucked around with this message at 11:36 on Jul 10, 2017 |
