KevinG Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 The Paul McGann Doctor Who movie is on BBC America tonight. I also saw a commercial for the new David Tennant show Broadchurch. Broadchurch is one of the best pieces of television I have ever seen. It is smart, compelling, and exceedingly well acted. Watch it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 It looked like something I might be interested in watching. I am up to The Five Doctors (1983) on my quest to watch all the episodes. I sort of recall watching that episode back in the day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Which is a shame because in the Big Finish Audio Dramas Paul McGann's Doctor is quite cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KevinG Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 And that crap about the Doctor being half human...dreck. yeah that was complete BS. It was trying to explain the Doctor to an audience who didn't know him. Though I wonder what would have happened if it was successful and became a full tv show.

KevinG Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 And the deal with all the clocks in the Tardis...the Master as a plasma snake with green eyes... I happened to love the interior of the TARDIS in the movie. It was very cool, I love the Victorian/Steampunk aesthetics of it all. As for the Master as a plasma snake with green eyes you have to remember the last time we saw the Master he looked like this: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 There is a show on BBC America (The Doctors Revisited) where they interview the former doctors and their companions. That show Torchwood is also going to be on BBC America starting September the 14th. I've never seen it before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I never followed it religiously, but enjoyed alot of what I saw, though it could be a bit hit & miss, especially the first series.It was funny to me though, as since the first 2 series were actually set in Cardiff, the locations were even more obviously familiar than many of those seen in Dr Who itself. The final series based in the US was poor, so I hope they don't just give you that one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KevinG Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 It's this one: Torchwood - Miracle Day. Miracle Day is not very good. The series is good but a tad uneven. Children of Earth is really good, but hard to follow if you are not familiar with the series. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I read this somewhere the other day - but what I read seemed to say it was just a rumor. It has now been confirmed:(Sky News) Nine episodes of Doctor Who which have been missing for decades have been tracked down to a store room thousands of miles away in Nigeria. The newly found programmes, starring Patrick Troughton as the second Doctor, will be available on iTunes and will later come out on DVD.Phillip Morris, the director of Television International Enterprises Archive, unearthed the programmes by looking up the records of overseas shipments of tapes made by the BBC. The stories, The Enemy Of The World (1967) and The Web Of Fear (1968) have now been remastered by BBC Worldwide, the corporation's commercial arm. Mr Morris said: "I remember wiping the dust off the masking tape on the canisters and my heart missed a beat as I saw the words 'Doctor Who'. When I read the story code I realised I'd found something pretty special." Only one episode of The Enemy Of The World - which featured Deborah Watling as companion Victoria and Frazer Hines, later to find fame in Emmerdale as Jamie - had remained in the archives, so the addition of programmes one, two, four, five and six have completed the story. The BBC still had the first edition in the Web Of Fear story, and the new finds mean only number three is missing. The tale introduced Nicholas Courtney as Lethbridge-Stewart, who began with the rank of Colonel, but later became Brigadier. The missing episode has been recreated using 37 still images which were available and the original audio which survived. Many programmes from the era, along with many classic shows, disappeared as a result of efforts to save space. There are still 27 Doctor Who stories which have not been recovered or for which episodes are missing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Albert Tatlock Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Watched Gatiss's An Adventure In Time And Space - behind the scenes of the early days featuring female producer Verity Lambert and William Hartnell. Really well made with period atmosphere and some nice touches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 She was also the producer of Jonathan Creek (among other things.) Not too long now - tomorrow afternoon is when we will see the show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 That was enjoyable. Got worried at the start with the Tardis on a helicopter segment, but it turned into a memorable episode worthy of the anniversary. And: TOM BAKER! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Exactly. Would you like a Jelly Baby? (The other British shows I have watched recently are: Above Suspicion, Whitechapel, and The IT Crowd.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 The trailer we got afterwards was for the next lot of Sherlock Holmes. My recent favourite Brit TV series: Peaky Blinders, Fresh Meat, Toast of London Quote Link to post Share on other sites
