Oh yeah, Eric does a lot of shlock. Fun fact: he recorded all of his dialogue on the phone for that movie in fifteen minutes as a favour to the director. I meant more in terms of him doing so much work, I'm surprised he even remembers his role on Doctor Who after all this time. Do Big Finish tend to record with the actors in one recording studio, or does everyone record by themselves in a booth and editing puts it together?

Most of the time, it's everyone together (although they do record scenes with everyone in separate booths), but they've also done ones where they've recorded most of the cast at one time, then someone else later, and then edit it all together.

Eric Roberts recorded his material separately to the other actors in his two prior appearances. That's why he's recording with Chase Masterson this time, they're both based in Cali so they can record together. Fun (?) fact. None of the three Masters from Day of the Master recorded with each other or the rest of the cast. Only Geoffrey Beevers.

When the recorded the Excelis Trilogy, Anthony Stewart Head recorded his parts all at once, separate from the other cast. But they had Lisa Bowerman and Mark Gatiss read opposite of him. Later, in a interview, he exclaimed how shocked he was that Big Finish could get one of The League of Gentlemen in to read lines with him.

Latest watch on the random trip through the original run: Planet of the Spiders. Very good overall I thought, despite its mixed reputation; some elements of excess, and some things aren't well done (Tommy and his Flowers for Algenon stuff most notably) but good fun.

I like that Metebelis Three, that Three has been constantly mentioning, comes back as important, and it doesn't feel forced. That was a nice little touch that this adventure he wanted to go on was his last. I have some issues with the K'Anpo character, but it's otherwise a pretty solid serial, from my memory.

Planet of the Spiders rules, even (or ESPECIALLY) the episode-long chase scene which is just such an exercise in excess and indulging a departing Jon Pertwee. Jon Pertwee was my first Doctor that I distinctly remember watching (on repeat screenings on TV, I'm not THAT old!) though I have vague memories of seeing at least one Troughton story, so seeing him regenerate into Tom Baker at the end of that story blew my tiny little mind.

The first episode of Doctor Who I ever saw was the second half of The Mutants (aka episodes 4, 5, and 6, since it was shown in omnibus format on the Chicago PBS station), and even not knowing what the hell was going on, I still found Pertwee's Doctor to be very fascinating to watch.

I watched Buckeroo Banzai yesterday and it’s odd to see how much Who is in its DNA. It definitely feels like what the Americans would have come up with if they’d invented Who themselves.

Eric Roberts was also in the music video for Mr Brightside, which has all the "you know what, I wanna do something fun" energy of Leonard Nimoy in a Bruno Mars video or Tom Hanks in a Carly Rae Jepsen video.

Payndz posted:Well, there is the utterly gratuitous "let's indulge Jon and his love of vehicles!" episode-long car chase that amounts to nothing... That car chase also has the stunt men appear (most notably Stuart Fell as a homeless man) with their faces and everything. It's touches like that that really rub in that it's a celebration of the whole of Pertwee's run, which makes sense as it was produced and directed and written by Barry Letts. There's a lot of fun side stuff too - the professor at the start is a real joy.

Robert J. Omb posted:...of Pertwee’s entire run. I'm near the end of doing just this (just finished Invasion of the Dinosaurs), as i thought Three would be a good way to get my fiance into the show. I hadn't seen much outside of Season 7 in years, so i wasn't sure how good it would be, but we've had so much fun with the Pertwee era. There are no serials in there that are out and out bad, and even the weaker ones usually have something wonderfully goofy in there to make up for it. I hadn't actually seen any Delgado Master stories before this and, while there was a point where he was getting close to overstaying his welcome, any scene was immediately better for him being in it. I'll miss the Three era when we get to the end of this run- I always had a half-remembered soft spot for his run and it's been really good to see that the fond memories were justified

Pertwee's been overshadowed by Tom, but he's still great. Who couldn't love the Doctor as a super-confident dandy swashbuckler? And he had a really solid run of stories; when your weakest is 'The Monster of Peladon' and it also comes right at the tail end of your tenure, you've done pretty well. (No big surprise: he was my first Doctor.)
