Finally got to use a Waterstone's gift card (received as part of an honorium for giving a talk on Nero) and snagged a couple of the new Target books. I coulda bought them online, but as I said way above in this thread, I used to buy them from a little bookshop in the town where I grew up, 30+ years ago. It's still loads of fun to get them in person and try to decide which one you want (or how many you can get with a £20 giftcard...) Nothing like taking Eurostar to Paris whilst reading City of Death  (and then having 'Running through Paris' stuck in your head the rest of the day  )

Brian Blessed was one of the actors asked to play the Second Doctor, but turned them down because of schedule conflicts.

I'm not sure when Blessed developed that acting style. I really haven't seen him in anything earlier than Flash Gordon but I assume it must have been before that. He's probably the best-remembered part of the least-remembered part of Blackadder and it's all because of SHOUTING.

Peter Cushing was another actor invited to play the Second Doctor and regretted turning it down, so there's probably another alternate timeline in which there were two Dalek-themed movies in which "Dr Who" is played by Patrick Troughton. So was Valentine Dyall, so there must be a third alternate timeline in which Patrick Troughton played the Black Guardian. Michael Hordern was also offered the role but said no because he didn't want to commit to a long-term series.

I watched The Omen the other day and Troughton is just SO good in it.

Imagine if Brian Blessed had played the Fourth Doctor and faced off against Graham Crowden in "The Horns of Nimon". "MY DREEEEEAAMS on con-QUEST!" "YOUR DREAMS OF CONQUEST?!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

I've noticed that 13 has earrings. Since the Doctor has never had earrings before (ok, maybe 8 did at some point), I'm imagining the TARDIS making a side trip to Claire's Accessories. "Look, I want these things, but I've no idea how they attach! Help!"

Although I wouldn't be surprised if the Doctor messed around with earrings during his academy days He seems the type to think punching holes in his ears and threading metal through them would be a lot of fun He then shows up to class drenched in blood and can't hear anything
