On a more serious note, Paradise Towers is probably the best of a bad bunch. Tonight's random Who was Death to the Daleks, which is a really great story suffering under poor storytelling and pacing. It's all infodumped rather than anything organic meaning that while there are a load of ideas being thrown at the viewer, they all happen in such close quarters to each other that the rest of the story feels a bit empty.

Gameko posted:PBS broadcasts remind me of Dr. Who. The ratings had fallen and the show was a bit out of favour. Also, the 3rd doctor isn't super cheap - look at some of the stuff Havoc do, eg Ambassadors of Death

Depends on the writer, and the character; Victoria, for example, was always a bit more wimpy than either Polly or Zoe (directly on either side) MrL_JaKiri fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Feb 9, 2021 |

Jerusalem posted:The Daemons is a standout, mostly because it understands that there's nothing wrong with ripping off Quatermass and the Pit. As one of my fellow Random Who watchers mentions every time a Pertwee or Base Under Siege or similar story comes up, Doctor Who rips off Quatermass a lot.

Last night's episode was TIME FLIGHT, with previous one being The Celestial Toymaker; it seems that racist Oriental caricatures are in this month It's rubbish, although the proviso that BA put on using Concorde and Heathrow being that the BA staff should be shown to be really polite all the time (eg editing out use of the word "punters") makes this one of the most truly "how the british see themselves" stories in the entire run

OldMemes posted:Doesn't Timeflight have the Master in disguise for literally no reason other than "its a two parter and we need a cliffhanger". Listening to UNIT Dominion now on Spotify, and yep, its really good. It's a 4 parter. He spends 2 episodes in the disguise, including when no-one is around, the reveal is the end of ep 2. The end of ep 3 is the Doctor going "well the master's won we can't do anything about it, sux to be us" based on absolutely nothing

This week's random Doctor Who was The Sea Devils, which had a lot more random bureaucratic nonsense in the first 3 episodes than I remembered, overall much less fun than memory said. Oh well. Next week's is probably terrible, it's the first story with the second doctor and I'm sure he takes ages to find his feet

Power remains absolutely terrific, amazingly modern story (modern being "good 1970s" rather than actually modern) compared to the hartnell stories only a few weeks earlier

Tonight's random Who was The Curse of Fenric, which is a story that eschews the normal story structure by having one episode two and three episode fours.

One of the topics of conversation last night was "I wonder what's happened to the ULTIMA machine prop" so uh that's that one answered

The Curse of Fenric - and all of that series - are super weird in that it's entirely about the themes in a way that 99% (or more, even) of television isn't.

Nobody talks about Matt Strevens either, I'm not really surprised the showrunner gets the most attention in the current model.

Khanstant posted:Cameras have always added 1 or 2 inches to the person being filmed, they could obviously make anyone set to whatever height they needed by adding more cameras. They're not going full Hobbiton to make Smith seem taller than Gillen, like CE and DT were with their companions (which is the point being made)

Khanstant posted:Oh wow, I legit did not know that. That's... so weird. Neurosis about relative dude altitude scars some people deep I guess. I was born the perfect height and managed to maintain perfect height every time the bumped it up a little, so I just don't know what it's like to be too tall or too short. Seems to really gently caress some people up. It does matter for shooting though - the dalek redesign was largely because the original revival dalek was designed to be eye to eye with Piper, who is around 6 inches shorter than Gillen. Khanstant posted:Feel like I got some Brianstains Bares thing going on here. When I was a kid nearly all of the black and white Doctor Whos were lost, the BBC just taped over them because they couldn't afford to buy more VHS tapes. The masters were wiped very quickly (in some cases weeks after broadcast). The 16mm copies were kept for a while though, and we basically missed out on them by only a few years because in the mid-late 70s it was decided that old Doctor Who had little commercial value.

Khanstant posted:I'm surprised how expensive some Big Finish stuff is. Just was looking for a jumping off point, looked at tenth doctor stuff and its 20-30 bucks each. Is there like a radio station or something that just plays random ones? maybe a streaming deal?  It's a fan thing with the real cast. There's also a load on spotify.
