Yeah I could never take them seriously - their idea of a "retro review" was invariably something from about five years ago.

Heck, I can barely take a "retro review" of something from 40 years ago seriously.

I'm no fan of censorship, but if I had to take someone down, it'd be him. I'd just love watching him squeal.

A serious argument could be made that Mr Tardis deserves censorship. He smears people as pedophiles. That alone makes him dangerous. He isn't a Claudia Boleyn making a video you might disagree with. He isn't even a Nerdrotic who can be an asshole to people like that plus size model. He actually threatens people's lives with his lies and smears. I'd say that at least warrants a limit on what he can post.

Still not seen him or anyone else in this self righteous fandom even mention the controversy around Neil Patrick Harris meanwhile. Today I learned being an angry guy on youtube is less offensive, than creating a corpse cake of someone who died three weeks ago and showing it to all your mates and at parties.

LOL plus our lord and saviour RTD picked him out, so shut up! 

I do think Mr Tardis is the worst though. I'm not being biased. Believe it or not, a few years back I even used to like him somewhat, but he just went off the rails and became a nasty guy. 

Claudia Boleyn I disagree with about DW, but really like as a person, Samuel Davies is an obnoxious, up his own arse twonk, but basically harmless, Ian Levine wavers between being a nice, compassionate guy, and throwing mad tantrums (though even then he's still amusing), Elizabeth Sandifier is insanely abusive, but Mr Tardis is an arse licker who throws people under the bus and is happy to smear them, and whip up a witch hunt against someone on hearsay. 

PS speaking of Levine's tantrums, I stumbled on this legendary one of his. 

"Any f*cker who EVER EVER EVER betrays my trust with anything Doctor Who related, will be crushed whatever it costs. I make this oath. I will stop at nothing. My trust has been betrayed once too often and now I am fighting with everything at my disposal. I will find out too.
...If people know that betraying my trust will result in serious problems, they will think twice before it EVER happens again. I will NOT have my trust betrayed, I SWEAR I WILL NOT.
I will take ANYONE on if they betray my precious trust. And be merciless when I track down who is responsible. This time it's gonna be a real result.
THIS SCUM WILL PAY!!!!"



Mr Tardis is never as hilarious as that. Hell DW hasn't been as enjoyable as that recently. The my precious trust line is the absolute best. It's honestly something a supervillain would say.

To be fair here is another side to Ian. Here is a livestream he did with one of my friends. I actually did a livestream with these guys a few weeks back. I didn't share it here as Sadako was in the audience and I do NOT want to start that up again. 

Anyway sadly one of the two hosts of these livestreams is dying of cancer. John the White. Still Ian did this to support him in trying times and as you can see is very good with him. 

Sophia Myles who is friends with the two hosts is also in this stream. She is such a Ducky by the way. I mean seriously. We're talking Stacey Solomon, Ella Lopez levels of being a Ducky here. 

Here it is if you're interested. There are some interesting tidbits about the missing episodes, and about Ian's memories of the missing episodes like Daleks Masterplan, and how much Gary Russel changed the animations of some stories. Ian also claims to have a version of Downtime with Sylvester McCoy that is edited into 4 parts, and a 35 min version of Dimensions in Time that makes sense. 




Of course true to form, Ian later had a falling out with the two guys who did this because they interviewed Philip Morris who Ian despises LOL. Still an interesting video.

They should do a livestream with Eric Saward where he discusses how the ultra violence of his era was necessary to create a gritty, realistic world and to show the consequences of such violence.

Noted. 

Getting people from DW however will be hard for them as they have made it quite clear that they despise the Jodie Pisstaker era. It's sad, but I couldn't imagine say Sophie Aldred doing one of them, or if she did, it would cost her the Big Finish gig. Fandom is so top heavy these days. Again Sophia Myles only did, because A/ she's not involved in fandom and B/ she's a ducky who could never get involved in that type of thing C/ she doesn't do Big Finish. 

Sadly however Saward who never really had a career outside of DW and is dependent on convention appearances I can't imagine risking it.

What's the story there? They agree on practically everything.

I don't know if they do? If you watch the interview, you'll see Ian is very fond of the RTD and Moffat eras. He loves the Girl in the Fireplace and said that his two fave stories are the Daleks Masterplan (his favourite overall, he considers that the best piece of televisual sci fi of all time.) And the Library two parter. He is a big River Song fanboy. 

Morris meanwhile hates New Who. He retweeted my article about the Fitzroy Crowd (with Nerdrotic loving it) and even thought my alternate sequel series was better than New Who at certain points! 

Still that said I don't think this is a difference of opinion. Ian after all gets on well with me in our limited interactions, and I've made it clear how much I despise a lot of new who. His exact words about a big rant I wrote were "well said." 

I think it's because Ian thinks that Philip Morris is hoarding lost stories. Ian is of the belief that there are still some missing stories out there in the hands of certain collectors, who want to keep them because they like the idea of having something that no one else has. He runs through a few examples of these types of collectors he's known, not DW related, but for other old shows. 

Ironically there are lots of people who think that Ian Levine is hoarding them too. (Something which always pisses him off tremendously on any forum, social media platform.) 

I don't know either Ian or Morris, other than a few positive interactions, so I can't comment. Personally I don't think either are likely to be hoarders given that both have returned stories and seem to really care about the future of the programme. (Albeit in different ways.) 

I think the feud may have been started by lots of people around them who have felt the other was hoarding stories, and both either bought into it, or felt that the other one was starting those rumours, and came to hate the other as a result?

Or maybe it's just that both want to be seen as the saviours of 60s who, and feel the other one is muscling in on their turf, I doubt that to be honest, but again I'm just speculating. 

"YOU DESIRE TO BE THE SAVIOUR OF HARTNELL/TROUGHTON RATHER THAN THEIR FANS!"

Still either way it's a shame as that Ian interview is honestly one of my faves and the Phil Morris interview was good too. I'll try and get that later.
