I think you might be mixing him up with Moffat, to be honest.  |

What did he say? I haven't heard anything about this. I heard it mentioned here, I think it was some new thing for one of the blu-rays. I had not seen it myself They interviewed him and classic fan who works on the series in some form, and his goes on a little speech that constantly putdown the classic, nothing new from what I recall just all his usual bs. The guy next to him didn't say anything but just look more and more uncomfortable, which is understandable given he's a true fan of the classic and knows it's bullshite. I picture it being like the those Marvel interviews that had Brie Larson along side the other actors and they do not look pleased to even be in the same room as her. Are you referring to that thread I made several months back regarding the Season 10 Box Set? That was Moffat, not RTD. But yeah, he had next to nothing interesting to contribute, and kept making vapid sweeping statements which reeked of indifference and incuriosity. "Everyone knew that Doctor Who looked rubbish at the time...". And amidst discussing the politics of the Peladon stories, which were directly echoing both the UK's joining of the EEC and the Miners Strike respectively, he essentially replied with "Oh, the politics of the era don't matter- it appeals to everyone". He clearly hadn't watched the stories for decades because he offered absolutely nothing of substance to the conversation. It was often quite embarrassing to watch. |

He clearly hadn't watched the stories for decades because he offered absolutely nothing of substance to the conversation. It was often quite embarrassing to watch. I've said that for years that he hasn't watched Who in decades. None of the Fitzroy Crowd have in my opinion. This is Moffat who also said that Roger Delgado and Jon Pertwee never once played the Master and the Doctor as enemies? They always played it as two friends having a laugh according to him. RTD who said that the Doctor never EVER throws punches or uses guns? These guys are not fans. They were people who watched the show when they were younger and probably did genuinely like it back then, but never bothered with it after and just latched onto it as it was a franchise for them to dominate, and use to launch their own projects like Sherlock and Torchwood. Anyone who says any differently has fallen for propaganda. |

New calendar and Jo Martin is the biggest Doctor on it.  Is this prepping us for her as 14th? |

What an insult to every actor who ever played the part, even Jodie.
A bit part actor who plays some nebulas version of the Doctor gets to overshadow everyone else. In that vain were are Michael Jayston, Toby Jones and Adrian Gibbs? Or the Mobius Doctor?

I'll tell you what Nuwho reminds me and this should put the thing in its broader cultural context. What it reminds me of, referring to the first season in particular, where a very talented actor unfortunately had to emote and gurn was the six o'clock news when it was presented by George Alagiah. You might recall BBC news in the 1980s and the 1990s where a presenter just say behind a desk and calmly and more or less impartially told us what the news was and did not presume that the viewer was an idiot. Where Mr Alagiah presents the news he emotes and talks down to people as if they have a brain injury or as if he is presenting a children's program and the viewer is a baby he has to gurgle at. I state children's programs but childrens programs in the 1970s and 80s presumed some form of intelligence. It's embarrassing. They have to stand and walk about for some reason or to have a correspondent explaining things which are entirely obvious. NuWho part of dumbing down essentially and the prioritization of emotion at the expense of anything half way intelligent. Not just George who does it either. On ITN Tom Bradby and some of the journalists in the field such as Nina Nannar basically tell the viewers what to think, including how wonderful Hollywood's politicised awards ceremonies are - I guess that's why they've got record low viewing figures. Something they've got in common with Nu Who, at least. |

Here's what I learned about him over at Planet Mondas Hmmm. yeah. So, he's never got anywhere near the main range. No wonder i haven't heard of him. Still, all that experience writing insignificant fanwank garbage should prime him for a smooth working relationship with fatso.
What really surprises here, though, is that RTD should feel the need for the presence of something called a "Script Editor". Could it be that that wondrous self-sufficient, prolific ego is finally feeling the strain...?  |

Could it be that that wondrous self-sufficient, prolific ego is finally feeling the strain...?  Well, technically, Davies did have script editors throughout his era (Raynor, Simon Winstone, etc), but their roles in determining the overall tone and direction of the scripts were practically minuscule considering that RTD predominantly edited the scripts himself later down the line anyway. I'm cynically suspecting this'll be the same thing, unless he's developed a greater degree of humility and is willing to recognise his own limitations (as likely as that is...  ). However, given that this "script editor" hasn't actually written anything of genuine note and hasn't approached the main BF range, it probably wouldn't change much anyway... |
