They had a nice way of completing the 60s story "The Crusades" - only episode 1 and 3 (of 4) exist, but to tie it all together they got one of the actors from the story to do some linking sequences. His character in DW was Chesterton, a schoolteacher from 60s London. Basically they had him now (ie a really old man) sat in a plush office full of books, recounting his bizarre story for the viewer - it works really well! Also for the story "The Invasion", on the dvd the missing episodes are animated, and it's pretty awesome tbh Anybody see Neil Gaiman's episode yesterday? Have to say I really enjoyed it, probably one of the best episodes since the 80s. It got a bit of a hammering on the DW forum I frequent though XD Was that Neil doing the bad guy's voice

Cybermen are supposed creep up on you & strangle you by... er... squeezing your shoulders XD Best Cybermen for me are all 60s ones & The Earthshock ones. I don't like the Revenge cybermen's stupid voices & general bullshit. Later 80s ones got rid of the glass jaw, which was a shame I think the reason the Cybermen stopped being creepy is because in the early ones they're more like mostly mute techno-zombies, whereas in later ones they become more akin to star wars stormtroopers or cylons, which is something that continues in the new series. The Borg from Star Trek were creepy as fuck & they pretty much behave like early cybermen JoePearson posted: Was that Neil doing the bad guy's voice Nah it was Michael Sheen from Tron 2 & The Damned United Edited 1 time(s).

Something genuinly spooky about them...The newer ones are kind of cartoonish. I used to really be into Dr. Who, and like 20 years ago I got these four audio tapes that went into great detail about the orgins of the Cymberman.

While a lot of the promotion of it was centred around the reveal of River's identity, there were so many brilliant moments: Rory as the last centurion, The Sontaran nurse, Crime-fighting Victorian samurai-sword wielding interspecies lesbians... A lot of people are disappointed about River but I couldn't really care less. The season is only at the half way point & just because we have this one piece of information, doesn't mean we know how the rest of the story is going to play out!

Have to say; I'm still a fan of Moffat's writing & even though it was obvious for most of this season; looking back at River's stories from prior seasons, I definitely believe he had her character arc planned from the beginning. I think people were disappointed because they figured it out & they wanted to be surprised or something, but I was still able to enjoy the episode regardless.

brainysod member Joined: 05/01/08 Posts: 106	For viewers on the previous page: Audio for ALL Doctor Who episodes exists. However, it is only the 1970's and beyond where all the episodes footage exist. The second doctor is most affected by the BBC wiping policy which came into effect in the early 1970's and ended in 1978. This was done to save space and re-use the costly video-tape the episodes were recorded on. All episodes that have been recovered (the earliest surviving ORIGINAL video tape is an episode from the third doctor) have been copies from overseas that were distributed prior to wiping, or some episodes like "Doctor Who and the Silurians" are composite pictures taken from a home-recorded colour video, and a black and white 16mm film, combined to create a high-quality dvd release. ...Any questions?

Acharis member The ugly one! Joined: 11/27/07 Location: Sydney Posts: 3,206	^^ Most of those 6+ feet are her legs... (seriously, they're incredible) Case in point: the 2011 Comic relief mini episode Time (parts one & two) If you haven't seen it yet, rectify immediately, it's hilarious!

I was sold pretty much instantly. Daleks are what truly won me over though. Anything that badass that can trash talk like that is a winner in my book. I want so bad to have a mini-dalek I could put on a leash and take for walks as it trash talked and shot lasers at anything and everything it seen. Adorable and awesome!

Tonight's episode was "Journey's End" and it made me feel a little sad because Elisabeth Sladen was in it. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/16/2012 04:45AM by Joan Cootes.

Joan Cootes member cougar Joined: 09/04/08 Location: fuggen Minno Posts: 12,132	^^Yes indeed, ABC2 for the win. Remember a few years ago ABC1 was replaying Doctor Who from the beginning? I cough recorded the episodes cough and I think my favourite era would have to be the Tom Baker era, especially the Elisabeth Sladen episodes. RIP Sarah Jane Smith, the world is a little sadder for your loss.

Acharis member The ugly one! Joined: 11/27/07 Location: Sydney Posts: 3,206	YES! I remember that, it was around the time the "rebooted" who was starting, they played the classic episodes earlier in the evening. Which was great for me, cause obviously i'd never seen the Hartnell, Troughton or Pertwee (I did see reruns of Tom Baker's era growing up though! So the 4th has always been my favourite also)

Joan Cootes member cougar Joined: 09/04/08 Location: fuggen Minno Posts: 12,132	ABC2 is still re-playing Doctor Who. Last night's episode was "School Reunion". It made me feel a bit sad because the late Elisabeth Sladen was in it. She looked almost the same as she did when Tom Baker was The Doctor.

Joan Cootes member cougar Joined: 09/04/08 Location: fuggen Minno Posts: 12,132	I think Tom Baker might be my favourite Doctor as well. I have a soft spot for that era of Doctor Who. One of our local tv stations is still running through the most recent series of Doctor Who. They're played Monday-Friday (which is pretty fucking cool!!!!) and tonight's episode was The Last Of The Time Lords. Kind of sad, in a way.
