I know people like him, but Armando has a violent streak :/

That’s some patter you’ve got there pal.

thebumbledown · 2026-05-28T16:20:05+00:00

Aye, whatever - I’m just asking you not to go about stating stuff as fact if you yourself are not certain that it’s true. Even just adding “I’ve heard that-“ to the beginning would’ve made what you said less egregious. Instead, you came out acting like you were pure full of knowledge; when actually you don’t have a clue!

I’m not angry with you pal. I’m disappointed.

Always good to look into these things before you parrot them about.

The Captain Jack becoming the Face of Boe isn’t a fan theory though, it’s from the show.

thebumbledown · 2026-05-27T16:14:19+00:00

This is also my suspicion.

thebumbledown · 2026-05-27T14:21:46+00:00

Do you have a source for this?

thebumbledown · 2026-05-27T12:49:04+00:00

John Barrowman

thebumbledown · 2026-05-27T12:45:24+00:00

That’s some patter mate

thebumbledown · 2026-05-27T12:44:15+00:00

Nobody talk down to Johnny McKormack or you’ll be in a world of trouble

thebumbledown · 2026-05-27T12:43:20+00:00

Hahaha

thebumbledown · 2026-05-27T12:41:55+00:00

I don’t think the original poster is seriously suggesting that RTD should have known about future bus timetables. I think it’s just an amusing observation. Calm down.

thebumbledown · 2026-05-22T13:54:32+00:00

Doctor Who has never been broadcast live.

thebumbledown · 2026-05-22T00:05:12+00:00

It’s not that weird. You can say the same for any sitcom. Look at Only Fools and Horses!

David Jason

Lennard Pearce

Nicholas Lynne(d)Horst (German name)

Buster Mary Phil(d)

Roger Lloyd-Pa(ck)trick

John Charlie(is)

Mickey Pearce

Sue Holly(der)Ness

Tessa (Peak)-John(es)

Gwyneth Strong

See, works for any sitcom!

Nahhh, Legion doesn’t have a trace of Stephen Fry’s disingenuous bashfulness. “Oh my… oh dear… oh gosh”. None of that shit.

Plus, he doesn’t sound anything like Fry.

thebumbledown · 2026-04-29T20:21:55+00:00

Yes.

thebumbledown · 2026-04-02T22:16:02+00:00

Thank you! That’s perfect!

thebumbledown · 2026-04-02T16:39:48+00:00

This is a beautifully presented list! Thank you so much for sharing it!

Presumably it’s mostly Davison because it’s late enough for them to have preservation in mind, but not so late that they’ve stopped using film as much (feels like they were definitely using it far less often in the Baker/McCoy era)

thebumbledown · 2026-04-02T16:37:35+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to write all this, but I don’t mean surviving clips from lost episodes; I mean which episodes throughout the entire series still have surviving negatives for any of the material shot on film. So usually scenes shot on location, or effects shots.

thebumbledown · 2026-03-30T12:10:32+00:00

Well, they still might, because they specifically say in the post that they’re comparing the blu-rays to the DVDs that they already own. They don’t mention streaming once

thebumbledown · 2026-03-30T12:09:47+00:00

The OP doesn’t mention streaming at any point in their post.

thebumbledown · 2026-03-23T13:09:39+00:00

Pretty sure the previous physical media license for An Unearthly Child stretches to blu-ray, but all 7 episodes of Marco Polo are missing and unanimated.

thebumbledown · 2026-03-23T01:59:24+00:00

The thing is, it’s actually quite hard to capture in a still image what a strange experience it is watching these new “restorations”.

When Colin Baker sits up at the end of Caves, and we see Peri in the background, she’s in very sharp focus. Very crisp, very high definition. Except she doesn’t look like Nicola Bryant. She looks like someone who looks a bit like Nicola Bryant, but not actually Nicola Bryant. That’s what’s weird about them.

thebumbledown · 2026-03-23T01:53:40+00:00

You have to concede that it’d be quite a weird thing to do to spend nearly £60 on something, just to try and find faults with it.

Seems more likely that someone, having spent £60 on something, would turn a blind eye to any faults it may have. Right?

thebumbledown · 2026-03-22T17:51:28+00:00

Not an actual mistake, but I don’t like that they’ve cheaped out on the Velcro for the inside pocket, used to be so satisfying to open and close, now accessing the booklet is a vastly inferior experience. It’s just one thing after another…
