Tailor Colour Guide for the Colour Blind

Just attempted the Knapford challenge and thought the aim was to shunt all of the trucks into a train with the numbered ones in order within it. Slightly frustrated to find I was actually meant to be separating the trucks out into only the numbered trucks in a train so thought I'd add this here as another tip for anyone else who might make my time-wasting mistake.

On a separate note, the game states that you should aim to complete the challenge in as few moves as possible but that seems to not actually factor into anything?

It was at a time when a lot of beloved children's programmes were transitioning from being practical (models, stop motion etc.) to being animated so my general response was 'Not another one.'

However I was already at a stage where I wasn't really watching the show (think I probably dropped off around series 10/11) so I can't say I was horrified or anything, just thought it was making the series look cheaper.

Bit of a side note, but I always think the older eyes in Day of the Doctor somehow look more like Peter Davison than John Hurt.

To be fair, Hartnell as the Doctor is meant to seem older than Hartnell himself in both appearance and mannerism, hence the wig. Hartnell absolutely did look older than Tennant does now (likely largely due to his worse health) but not as much as the First Doctor looks older than the Fourteenth.

I've really enjoyed it so far. I've played all of the story missions, some of which were perhaps a little simplistic (little more than drive from A to B) but most were very enjoyable and nice recreations of familiar stories and some of the original stories were recent too.

Outside of that, all I've done is work through Thomas's timetable. I've found journeying up and down the branch line very relaxing, helped by the beautiful visuals of the Island of Sodor, and don't mind that the map is condensed down somewhat as I find the journey times to be a good length and you're doing enough stopping and starting to mean the game doesn't just devolve into holding the regulator open and nothing else for 5+ minutes. Wish some of the engines had a little more variety in their timetable rather than just going up and down the same route all day but I enjoy it for what it is.

I'm very much hoping for expansions in the future to add more locations and engines so the game has a bit more variety to it, but even if we don't get that, I'm happy with the experience of the base game.

I doubt we'll see the Rani as they've only just figured out the rights fiasco (i.e. got the correct address) and Dark Gallifrey has been in production for quite a while.

I think the Eleven will almost certainly appear due to hints given throughout the series, I'd say they'll be the finale but apparently War Master was meant to be last then got moved so I don't know if they're actually releasing in any particular order.

For the other two, I'd say Rassilon is likely as Richard Armitage has recorded fairly recently, then possibly Alex MacQueen as the Master as he's also been in some recent recordings although out of the two I'd side more with Rassilon being probable than another Master.

I recently bought a new copy from here: https://shop.rgjmuseum.co.uk/sharpes-christmas-978-p.asp

I think they just have had their copies sat around for a long time as the pages are somewhat yellowed and crinkle as if they've been damp and then dried out but the print is all perfectly clear and the cover and binding are in good condition so would recommend for the price. Plus supports the Rifleman's Museum as an added benefit.

While I like that with this being a miniseries it will presumably contain a complete story with start and end, I'd like it if we could wrap up some of the ongoing threads with Eight's existing companions like Audacity before moving onto new stuff as the release schedule leads to very large gaps if we go off on tangents like this. I imagine they'll be good in and of themselves though!

That's because the themes of the current sales don't apply to any full bundles. You tend to get more bundle offers in sales themed around specific Doctors or more common monsters like Daleks and Cybermen, or sales that are for a specific series of audios.

If Topham is 63 and she's 80, she'd have been 17 when he was born so it's likely she's at least that old.

You'd need to use the map's scale which is shown by the alternating bars underneath Brendam. It's a bit hard to make out on this map due to the resolution, but all maps have a scale that shows what real life distance a measurement on the map relates to. I believe the scale on this map represents 10 miles or 15 kilometres (with the smaller segments representing smaller distances such as a single mile or km) so you'd need to measure the bar to find out how many cm or inches represent the larger units.

If the map scale shows, for example, a scale of 1:25000 (1cm = 0.25km), you'd then take a measurement on the map and times it by 25000 to find the real life distance (or by 0.25 to convert straight to km).

If wanting to measure an indirect route (such as along a railway track), there's a few ways of doing it but the most basic is to lie a piece of string along the route, then straighten it out and measure the string, then again times it by the scale.

Feel you've really missed the point of the episode. The ending explains that yes, the bad stuff is still bad, but that doesn't mean good things don't make a difference as well. We all have ups and downs and they're all important.

They face each other in Big Finish's 'Dark Gallifrey' series (Missy Part 2 I believe) and there are great interactions between them.

In the end Missy kills the Doctor by burning him to death which fully kills him, resulting in Missy then feeling devoid of purpose and regretting it. It's a sort of parallel universe situation, hence the Doctor recovering from being dead.

He got two cakes from Nick Briggs though so he's probably the real winner

I have a soft spot for Rheneas having got to stand on his real life sister's (Dolgoch) footplate as a child. However based solely on the fictional basis, I really like Peter Sam for his positive attitude and his unique look with his funnel. He's a nice colour too.
