They were awful CBBC shit. Why does Rusty feel the need to make everything soft, sentimental slush?
The show used to have an edge, that's what made it cool and different.

It would've been good if we had the actors (slightly in-character maybe) commentating over the episodes Maureen O'Brien thought Tales from the TARDIS was shit, according a mate who's a convention goer. Couldn't agree more. LMFAO. Tbf, hasn't she always been a bit cranky about being involved with DW? I do know Peter Purves wanted Steven to become a corrupt dictator, which would have been brilliant. So much better than the inane happy ending he (and literally everyone else because f*ck character depth) got in Tales |

Couldn't agree more. It was so poorly thought out, an imaginary TARDIS or something scoops them up and reunites them because......... That's what I mean when I said it was a DVD extra. It would have been better if they had been shown in their own time. For instance show Jamie as an old man in the Highlands remembering, or Zoe on the Wheel. |

What Servalan being a lesbian? Also I didn't know he and David Maloney were on bad terms? Probably just an in-joke about Pearce's real life exploits haha. Maloney wanted to develop Avon into a more heroic character after Blake left. Darrow hated this idea and openly said in interviews that he sabotaged Maloney's efforts by playing up Avon as an unpredictable psychotic (as he felt it was the only way to justify Avon being out of character). He also had a fierce argument with Maloney on set about Avon giving Tarrant and Dayna access to the computers. Maloney eventually forced him to go along with it by saying they can't have a show otherwise, but Darrow was very bitter about it and brought it up in multiple interviews. He also obsessively retconned that decision in every single Blake's 7 story he ever wrote. In "Erebus" (his audio drama), Avon reprograms Orac and Zen to give priority to him. In "Rock Star" (a short story he wrote), he does the same exact thing. In the "Lucifer" novels, Orac doesn't even have a key anymore, he only responds to Avon's voice. Darrow and Maloney did record the commentary for Terminal together, so they're on civil terms, although I'd say it was slightly tense. Maloney had no patience for his humour. I think Vere Lorrimer indulged him much more, which is why series 4 is so different. What's this about Jacqueline Pearce? I thought she was straight? Was she bisexual then? I do recall reading about Darrow hating their attempts to make Avon a hero, like in Aftermath when he spares the guy. That was very out of character. |

I agree with you, but the likelihood is that today's emo sensibilities as perfectly described by IanK would still dominate the tone even then. I'd just prefer they left Classic alone; full stop. |

The Disney trailer now has 26k likes and 28k dislikes. But apparently we're a minority.

That's really heartwarming. Sometimes it really feels like I'm the one going mad and that it's actually really good in the eyes of most people.

That's what they want you to think. The reality is the other way round. No normal person gives a flying f*ck about this trash.
