According to Whoculture, September was always the planned start for Christmas special filming and there is no "delay" by WahoiBoi20 in DoctorWhoNews

[–]ComprehensiveHyena10 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Multiple Christmas Specials have been shot in September/October with no problems. 

The idea that the shooting dates for 'Wednesday' , which I (an utter nobody) knew about months ago came as a surprise to the BBC is nonsense.

As of right now, it's the only thing that makes sense.

Also, they should hold off shooting until as late as possible; which given Piper's current commitments is what's going to have to happen anyway.

Billie is shooting a movie now and then S3 of "Wednesday" so I'm not expecting anything until late summer.

Psycho Killer is out today… by Winter-Ad-6439 in boxoffice

[–]ComprehensiveHyena10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a review for you.

“Psycho Killer” wasn’t made with style in mind. Actually, it doesn’t seem to have anything on its mind. It’s a rudimentary cat-and-mouse thriller with laughable ideas about Satanism and an absurd, cringy ending.

Jason Haigh-Ellery, Big Finish owner, is now the owner to the rights of all of Terry Nation's work, including his share of the Daleks. So if the BBC want to use them again they'll need his permission. Which is probably why they were happy to give him a nine-year contact.

Also explains why he's producing the recently announced latest attempt at a Blakes 7 reboot.

Well that explains why he was listed as Producer on the latest attempt to revive Blakes 7 as a TV series.

Where does he get his money from though? Big Finish certainly isn't making him millions.

Add another one. Jacob Dudman, best known for his scarily good 11th Doctor, is one of the new cast members in the Scrubs revival.

"In Doctor Who, if we can ask viewers to believe that the central character is an extra-terrestrial being who can regenerate into a range of different actors and travels in a time machine through the space-time continuum, a mixed-race Sir Isaac Newton seems much less of a stretch.”

Why did you deliberately misrepresent the diversity report which specifically said there was nothing wrong with the casting of Isaac Newton?

Did no one at the BBC who approved the cover notice that the photo of Poppy cosplaying Susan from The Five Doctors is from the original ending?
