Old Doctor Who - Part 3

[pigamus]

I think they were filming it in August. It was so hot one of the Cheetah People chucked off her costume and buggered off in disgust. In her pants.

[Alberon]

Why didn't they put that in the episode rather than all that shit with Hale and Pace?

one of the Cheetah People (. . .) In her pants.

Must have been Lisa Bowerman. Typical Benny - any excuse!

Terrance Dicks has died.

[Alberon]

Sad news, but he did make it to 84.

[Thomas]

Sad news, but he did make it to 84.

His last script was in 83 actually :(

[Deanjam]

Sad news, but he did make it to 84.

Which for anyone who saw him 20 years ago is a minor miracle.

R.I.P. Terrance. His 'never cowardly, never cruel' is the perfect encapsulation of the Doctor for me.

[pigamus]

I have reversed the polarity of the tear duct flow. RIP.

[Norton Canes]

With a wheezing, groaning sound...

R.I.P. Uncle Terrance

[weekender]

Sad news.

A lot of people are posting their Dicks. So to speak. I joined it too.

RIP Uncle Terrance. That man, at his best, knew how to spin a rattling good yarn.

[Phil_A]

RIP Terry, may your face always be pleasant and open.

[Deanjam]

Not a bad season. I like the tone of Fenric & Ghost Light, even if they do have their flaws. As usual the extras are the real draw for the upgrade.

Very sad about Terrance Dicks - despite his, shall we say, less than enthusiastic Targets in the '80s, his writing of new books into the EDA/PDA era means he had more dedication to the show than any other writer. His endless contributions to the DVDs were always enjoyable. RIP Uncle Terry.

Season 26 - well, that was all-but-confirmed already anyway, but I'm glad I can guarantee didn't sell my DVDs for nothing at least.

Here's a good 'Fuck my hat..!': as we all know, the original 1963-89 version of Doctor Who is the longest running science fiction series of all time - 26 years and 13 days.

On Wednesday next week it'll drop to second place behind Power Rangers.

[Replies From View]

Oh good

[Norton Canes]

It's not too late! If we can bombard the Power Rangers production office with bad letters they might cancel it before Wednesday

My immediate reaction was this was impossible as Power Rangers began in the 90s. I can't get my head round 1993 being 26 years ago.

[Replies From View]

What's the production continuity of Power Rangers?  And isn't it always the same episode every time?

[Norton Canes]

Plus is it really 'science fiction'?

[Bad Ambassador]

No, it's a cooking show.

No, it's a cooking show.

I thought a cooking show was Can't Cook Won't Cook.


If Power Rangers is like anything else at all, it's surely football.

[Alberon]

Power Rangers doesn't count as a Sci Fi show. Its special effects are too cheap and crap!
