Boy do Classic Who and commercial TV just not mix at all. LONG-rear end ad breaks and no end titles at all because they had to jump right to Dirk Gently.

UK Gold managed for years. just have to accept that your schedule isn't going to fit into a rigid 30 minute / 1 hour pattern

Amazon UK, get your poo poo together https://www.amazon.co.uk/Doctor-Who-Power-Daleks-DVD/dp/B01LOC83Y2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479734555&sr=8-1&keywords=power+of+the+daleks

Everything on that page acts like it is released, which makes no sense because I know you're right. Plus, looks like the blu-ray one is the version that comes with the colorization version. Lame!

edit: and I agree with that sentiment, if only us US-Santees weren't stuck waiting until almost Feb to get a copy we can play.

vvv agree with that sentiment as well

It is released. Amazon UK sent me a copy that arrived Saturday.

But Netflix carried Doctor Who previously and that didn't undermine its status as a public production.

licensing the rights to show reruns of something that already exists before you came along is completely different from financing the production of something and therefore having some control over it.

Astroman posted:

But it irks me that we suffer under a very inconsistent schedule where every few years the show is basically off the air due to budgetary problems, many of which would be offset if some of the millions of dollars in licensing and merch revenue could go back into the show's budget.
licensing & merchandising revenue aren't ring-fenced for the show, but a rising tide raises all boats.

if the problems stem from mismanagement then throwing more money, any amount of money, at them won't solve the issue. the bills will expand to use up the excess and now you're back at square one, albeit with a shinier output in that period.

He's the lead in the Dark Tower adaptation coming out this year, so that's one at least.

Eh, I'm not sure I can agree. On those two examples, I feel like Kate mentioned the Brigadier enough and that he's a popular enough character that people have a sense of who he is, especially if they grew up with the old show or have ever went back and watched a 3rd Doctor story or The Five Doctors or something
the target audience for the show (kids today) didn't and won't

the five doctors especially is unmitigated shite. no one is watching that.

I'm into series 26 on my front-to-back viewing.

Battlefield is fun and good and bad. I gather that the prose and audios have filled out the story some, but to have Capaldi play the other half of that plot would be outright jolly.

Open Source Idiom posted:

It's one of the few things that the series as a whole hasn't mined, surprisingly. There are a handful of references to the "Merlin" incarnation, and the suggestion that the Seventh Doctor is not a fan of his, but they were mostly restricted to the NA's IIRC.

A quick wiki walk over on TARDIS wiki (eugh) has them suggesting he actually appeared in a couple of NA's, but I think it's just another case of that website trying to draw a particularly long bow. At most it was probably just some implication in the books -- and that's not just because I'd prefer Merlin to be the War Doctor.

on a scale of 9 to 10 how much do you love Attack of the Cybermen?
