It's okay, McGann has looked basically the same haggard-but-handsome since they shifted his Doctor from "romantic optimist adventurer" to "worn down by the universe's bullshit but still wants to help out where he can." He'll still be good to go in five years time.

Rirse posted:Speaking of cheesey gifs, what the one with the spinning city with a fat guy looking on? That's from a fan-production made by, I think, the infamous Ian Levine. In addition to being a DJ, he was a giant Who fan who got heavily involved with the actual production of the show as a creative consultant during what is often considered an utter low-point for the series back in the 80s. He frequently goes on tirades when he doesn't get exactly what he wants from Doctor Who (he's loving furious about Jodie Whittaker's casting, from memory).

Fil5000 posted:Was he even getting paid? He was paid in scripts, pre-broadcast edits of episodes and old props. Levine was very well-off (he was able to pay thousands of pounds to buy copies of episodes of Frontier in Space back in the 70s), so I doubt he needed the cash.

Zaroff posted:He was paid in scripts, pre-broadcast edits of episodes and old props. Yeah, he was fairly well-established as a songwriter and producer in the burgeoning Hi-NRG scene by the time he got involved in Doctor Who. He didn't lose his money until later in the decades when he ploughed most of his fortune into a plan to found a new record company which he'd use to record all his favourite old Motown stars doing songs he'd written for them, which (perhaps predictably) flopped.

Zaroff posted:He was paid in scripts, pre-broadcast edits of episodes and old props. Yeah, I doubt the money was important to Levine. To him, saying he was working on the show, and therefore made him better than other fans, was more important to him. In other news, BF is launching a range called "Big Finish Originals", i.e. new original shows. https://www.bigfinish.com/news/v/big-finish-originals Some seem rather intriguing.

And 80s Who in general, to be fair: This is actually one of mine, though I'll be very happy to have it confused for a Brigadier Sockface comic! (A good way to tell them apart is that their comics have clear linework and polish, while mine are scribbled on the back of an electrical bill with a number 2 pencil.)

Doomsday:  End of Time:  Day of the Doctor:  On the set of Jessica Jones Season 2:  So he's looking actually really good considering those pictures span thirteen years, but he was starting to appear a bit craggy in Day of the Doctor and he's a father of four, so God only knows when age will finally catch up to him.

It's like how Paul McGann is the same age as Peter Capaldi but you wouldn't think so if you saw them standing next to each other.

I still can’t stand his original run, but I liked Tennant in the 50th and Jessica Jones. I’d be cautiously optimistic about him coming back for a 55th or 60th anniversary special now that he’s matured a bit as an actor.

It's a bit too late to start work on a 55th anniversary special. I'd be on the look out for the 15th anniversary of the revival, though.

There will probably be stuff out there but doing a 15th celebration after the huge deal the 50th was would be silly. Maybe Eccleston will finally come around for the 60th.

There, I got pass Wasp and the Unicorn, which isn't as bad I thought it would be since everyone in this thread talks about how awful it was. Also didn't notice the 'Unicorn' was Jyn from Rogue One.

That episode had some really funny bits despite how dumb the plot was. I forget the episode order, but I think series 4 is pretty much solid gold after that one.

I noticed the next episode is The Library which I heard is good and it the introduction of River Song, whom I seen in a few Matt Smith episodes but never actually seen her actual first appearance (and last appearance from what I gather).

Turn left is a little wobbly and your enjoyment of the finale hinges on how much you love RTD's tendency to go big then decide that's not big enough. It also should've been his stopping point, but whatever.
