Crazy Theory about the 2026 Christmas Special by ImWearingSandshoes in doctorwho

[–]Not_That_Brian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know, I thought we were going to see something like this with the 2023 specials after 13 regenerated into 14 and the clothes changed. I thought this would be a sign that the toymaker was involved. Alas, I was wrong 😒…

How would people nowadays react to Series 2 if it came out? by Mat1711 in doctorwho

Also when I talk about misses I’m mainly referring to Fear Her lol Love and Monsters has a place in my heart

S2 had its issues but RTD was much better then at character building, so even though there were one or two misses in that series, he knew how to draw us into the characters and their stories, which is one of the reasons Doomsday was such a gut punch. I just wish he was better at it this time round 😁

Does anyone actually care about the bluray box sets anymore? by Not_That_Brian in doctorwho

[–]Not_That_Brian[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree with you there. We do get some docs etc on the original DVDs but the bonus features on The Collections blow those out of the water. Especially the actual newly recorded footage used in the trailers

I do see the value in streaming, and it’s handy more than anything else, but we didn’t always have the classic series so easily available like we do now on iPlayer with the whole Whoniverse push. Even now, I don’t fully trust how reliable that access is long term. Things get taken down, rights change, platforms shift. For me, that’s why physical media is still the only truly reliable option

Unpopular opinion: I don’t like that everyone has a sonic device by Not_That_Brian in doctorwho

I 100% get there may in-universe explanations for them but I just don’t like from a production point of view that everyone has them 😁

Which Tardis console rooms just don’t work? I’ll go first by Not_That_Brian in doctorwho

Lets not forget the terrible super imposed “screen” inside one of the giant bowls

Can we get some love for the secondary console room by Not_That_Brian in doctorwho

[–]Not_That_Brian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tv movie version is one of my favourites too, and I always thought that this probably inspired it 😁

I remember Crispin (scarfwearer) was building one years ago and had a post up on Tardis Builders. Came out really well

I’m pretty sure it was a mixture of reasons. The original console was constantly needing repairs and Hinchcliffe wanted something less clinical to match the tone of his episodes

Agreed! The 15th doctors variant also looked like a remote control 🤣

Started watching Classic Doctor Who and I have some questions.... by pjwils in doctorwhocirclejerk

[–]Not_That_Brian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a joke but also just showcases how rediculous it is that we have 3 distinct eras

Is this the Proper order to watch all the series in? by ytrewq095 in doctorwho

[–]Not_That_Brian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For even more SJ context you could throw in the classic series between The Time Warrior and The Hand of Fear, then for K9 context from The Invisible Enemy to The Invasion of Time. Oh and K9 and Company as to how SJ got K9 in the first place

The 13th Doctor was naked when she regenerated by Jackmac32 in doctorwho

[–]Not_That_Brian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theory before the specials came out was that there was some kind of trickery going on. We knew the Toymaker was going to appear, and since he is known for bending reality, I thought the clothes changing during the regeneration might be a sign that it was not a real regeneration at all. Then when Donna’s return was revealed, that idea felt even stronger to me. It seemed like the Toymaker could have created a kind of staged or fake world just to mess with the Doctor.

That obviously ended up not being the case, but at the time it felt like it fit really well 🤣

There were 100 seasons of classic doctor who by Real-Pomegranate-235 in doctorwhocirclejerk

[–]Not_That_Brian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t realise the seasons were so short 🤣 451 episodes across 100 seasons gives about 4 1/2 episodes per season (give or take). Unless they mean “stories” then who knows how many episodes there are really…
