There is a lot going on in Vengeance on Varos. Satire! Video nasties! Tiny go-karts!

Also, the supporting cast - Stephen Yardley! Forbes Collins! a young Owen Teale!

And Martin Jarvis!

Forbes Collins sounds like a book publisher to be honest.

Remembrance of the Daleks - 3 wonderful, wonderful cliffhangers. I like the way they escalate the threat over the three. Single Dalek, fine but it can FLYYYYY, then three Daleks, then a Dalek spaceship!

I guess this counts as old Who now, but I thought I'd share this pic of Caitlin Blackwood, who played the younger Amy Pond, as she looks now. I think she's actually related to Karen Gillan, but it's uncanny.

Golly! They're cousins, I think.

This popped up in my youtube suggestions today - a 30th anniversary nugget I'd never seen before:

What a great find! Must be during the 11th season as there's a pic of Sarah Jane on the wall.

Who's Peter?

"Jon Pertwee alongside generic teenager with George Harrison hair."

What does it mean "first invited"?

Does his t-shirt have on it a photo from when he saw Doctor Who being filmed?

So confusing.

Capaldi. But I guess you're joking? Just in case, though...

Replies From View

Wasn't joking.  Thanks for filling me in.

The Season 12 Blu-ray also has a mention of Capaldi in an interview with Tom Baker and Lis Sladen from 1975. He was big in the fan circles back then.

Blofelds Cat

Didn`t he make himself a bit of a pest with the production office--a proto Ian Levine with better hair--then binned Who off when he discovered punk?

Oh no, this is starting to feel a bit like when Jimmy Savile had escalating popularity and influence.  I do hope there's no shocking ending this time.

Quite ironic that, as Capaldi did play George Harrison in a 1985 film.

Didn't he and some other bloke have rival Doctor Who fan clubs in the early 70s, or something like that?

Malcy

I'm sure i saw it with a caption from the newspaper article it was from that quoted Capaldi as saying "going on to set to pretend I can be something I never will be" or something.

And it said underneath that "at no point will I play the Doctor between the years 2013 and 2017"

Deanjam

Here's the full article that picture is taken from.





Norton Canes

Never mind The Doctor, he was just about the right age to be cast as Adric

Deanjam

Weird to imagine an Adric with charm and personality.

Yeah in Cinemas in July as well. Hoping they are in near me.

JamesTC

Will go to see them live if there is a Liverpool screening. Can't justify £60 for the pair of them, as much as I am tempted. If there is a standard 4K release after the limited editions sell out, then I will be all over them.

I have actually never seen the Peter Cushing films. When I was younger and had the chance, I swerved them as they weren't "proper Doctor Who". These days I am more open to ephemera.

Replies From View

I'm not a huge fan of them - I find them distracting because they are so similar to The Daleks and Dalek Invasion of Earth yet have so many jarring differences at the same time.  The recasting doesn't work for me, along with the inside of the TARDIS, the fact that the Doctor is just a human in the films - they are a strange remodelling in lots of ways.

Positives:  They show that technicolour Daleks won't automatically fail, and Bernard Cribbins is good.

Philip Madoc does a good turn in the second one, too, if memory serves.

I do wish they'd gone on to make an adaptation of The Chase, however.  Whereas The Daleks and Dalek Invasion of Earth were already solid stories, I'd love to see how they'd have dealt with The Chase's flaws.

The first one has some interminably long Dalek chats.

The second one flies by, iirc.

Bernard Cribbins and Roy Castle are both great but I guess we probably knew that.

I saw the first one in the Mockingbird in Brum a few years back, followed by a Dr Who quiz.

Every - and I mean EVERY - question was followed by someone raising their hand and pointing out that the answer wasn't quite correct.

E.g. "In which episode did other Time Lords first appear?"
