RE: [VIDEO] The All New Doctor Who Thread...
So I watched The Wild Blue Yonder, and I really enjoyed it, a classic scary Doctor Who story, lots of twists and fakeouts, really making the most of the Doctor and Donna relationship.
But, I’m not seeing the whole 60th anniversary-ness of the specials yet. The Giggle will have to pull something epic out to match the invocation of nostalgia that the 50th excelled at.

[VIDEO] RE: Royal Mint Black Friday deals
Nothing personal (I come from a culture that values gold a little too much), but I was just reminded of this...

RE: [VIDEO] The All New Doctor Who Thread...
Well, that was fun. The most fun I've had watching a Doctor Who episode since Capaldi.
The messaging was a little forced and on the nose, but then again, Russell T. Davies...
I've missed this bombast and energy.
But this isn't 2005. Tomorrow, some government minister will make a statement denouncing Doctor Who's unparalleled wokery, and there will be a 100 videos on Youtube declaring the show dead... again...

[VIDEO] RE:The All New Doctor Who Thread...
Happy Whoniversary! 60 years today.
And the beeb are giving us even more.
The first Dalek story has been colourised.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-67499965
It's also been edited down into an omnibus edition (7 episodes into 75 minutes, and hopefully most of that edit is the episode where Ian and the Thals jump back and forth across a puddle)
It's on BBC4 tonight at 19:30, followed by a repeat of An Adventure in Space and Time (making of dramatisation)
It will also be on iPlayer and Disney+
EDIT: And someone with time on their hands has created a 1920's take on Who

RE: [VIDEO] True Lies: Reboot
But if it’s online only, and they charge you every time you watch it, they’ll eventually make more money, retain complete control over it, change it at their whim, take it off the servers when it stops making money, and arrogant plebs like us don’t have the mistaken belief that we can actually own something.

RE: [VIDEO] Blackadder
They always do something for anniversaries...
In this case... Blu-Adder
That was the link in the e-mail I got. Other e-tailers are available.
I'm currently watching Red Dwarf on Blu-ray. There's only so much that can be done with SD, videotape sourced BBC sitcoms scaled up to HD. But, better audio and more durable discs...

[VIDEO] Shogun the (unnecessary?) Remake!
An action packed, bass dropping soundtrack for the trailer... as you do.
I love the 1980 original to death. Not sure how I feel about a remake; and the trailer, all surface as trailers are, does nothing to sway me.

RE: In the market, as it were
I've been happy with Panasonic players thus far.
https://magicvision.uk/collections/dvd-blu-ray
This place has plenty of Blu-ray players remote hacked for DVD multi-region (only Region B for Blu-ray though) And more importantly, it has a physical store in Old Street, London you can walk into, which seems a little less iffy than a no-name Marketplace seller on Amazon, although MultiRegion Magic have a long rep.

RE: [VIDEO] Coronavirus, anyone starting to get worried?
Dominic Cummings giving evidence to the COVID enquiry today.
His Whatsapp messages are being read out. Almost spat my lunch out when I heard the c-word on the BBC News channel. Someone belatedly flashed up a warning on the screen to expect profanity.
Maybe they're softening the way to get daytime broadcasts of The Thick of It. Anyway, I wonder what HIGNFY will make of it this week.

Dave Courtney has died
Dave Courtney, gangster turned actor and author has died.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-67191667
He was in Baby Juice Express which I reviewed for this site. And was apparently the inspiration for Vinny Jones' character in Lock Stock.
And I walked past his Camelot Castle on the way to school every day as a kid. Plenty of pictures here.

RE: [VIDEO] The All New Doctor Who Thread...
That's the one that's been squelched by the writer's son. I expect it and the next three episodes on the serial will vanish from whereever it's online (Britbox) and the like pretty soon, if it hasn't already.
A quick search, and I see it on Vimeo, where you need a login, and Dailymotion, where you don't
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8fhrvv
Still available on DVD though

RE: [VIDEO] The All New Doctor Who Thread...
In the article, they talk about making a living, breathing central Doctor Who hub, a kind of digital interactive museum, so I guess it’s semi permanent at least, alive as long as the Beeb retain the rights, and the IPlayer remains meaningful as a portal. On the other hand, 800-odd episodes in a year is doable…

RE: [VIDEO] The All New Doctor Who Thread...
(Almost) All of Doctor Who will be on iPlayer from Nov 1st as part of the 60th Anniversary.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2023/doctor-who-archive-on-bbc-iplayer
The surviving episodes of the classic series, the spin-offs too like Sarah Jane Adventures, Torchwood and the like.
Everything except those 80 or so missing presumed lost episodes from the Hartnell and Troughton era…
And the Tribe of Gum serial that began with the very first episode, An Unearthly Child. The son of the writer of those four episodes has withheld permission for those four episodes because he wants revenge on the BBC for how they allegedly treated his father. You can still get it on DVD though.
Personally, aside from that iconic first episode, I’ve never liked the cavemen story. So Doctor Who on iPlayer will start in the most appropriate way… Doctor Who and the Daleks!
