The Toymaker: "Und zen zhere vas Martha Jones, whose heart you needlessly broke time and time again, and whom you placed in needless danger in bigoted time zones."
The Doctor: "She married Mickey."
The Toymaker: "Well that's al... Ok, maybe not..."

While I don't mind the idea of The Doctor regenerating into twins, the fact that Ncuti is basically a clone of the main Doctor with the 14 being still alive and having the most popular face will have disastrous results, imo.
Blazing Saddles was released 50 years ago today, a film which despite what other people say has definitely aged better than other comedies of its time. Definitely due for a re-watch
With CITV shutting down tomorrow, let's just all take the time to remember what is probably my favorite show to ever come out of that channel:
Grizzly Tales For Gruesome Kids
Even ignoring Russell's reasoning behind why Davros looks different, I already understood it as this being him before GOTD. There was an incident sometime later that left him scarred, and besides, Baby Davros didn't look like a potato in Magician's Apprentice
Me-thinks the pre-credits sequence of "The Giggle" will involve a recap of some kind of The Celestial Toymaker. But seriously though, I'm jealous of how good the skin tones look here in this colorization. Who did it?
It's worth nothing that The Pertwee Era was a semi-serious political thriller blending elements of sci-fi with relevant social topics at the time. Doctor Who was at its wokest in the 70s
Opinion:
If RTD had done a full final series back in 2009, it would be interesting if The Doctor and Wilf were the Tardis team for that season, 2 men nearing the end of their lives and coming to terms with their impending mortality
This is probably one of my favourite scenes from this episode. I love how the Doctor opens up to Wilf about the mistakes he's made travelling alone. David and Bernard's acting in this scene is so underrated. I'd go as far as saying I find it more emotional than his regeneration
I think that The End of Time would have been way more interesting if they continued the "Time Lord Victorious" plot line with 10 going power hungry and Martha, Captain Jack, and Sarah Jane forming a rebel alliance against him to stop him from bending the laws of time further
Fourteen years ago today, The Waters of Mars aired for the first time. And with it, one of the all-time great scenes of the show.
Adelaide Brooke confronts the Doctor, rejecting his power-hungry temperament. David Tennant and Lindsay Duncan are simply incredible here:
So.. The split regeneration idea was executed well enough for me to not be scared of it anymore, but I really don't think it's a good idea. To have the show now follow a clone Doctor, especially with the current main one having the most popular face will have disastrous results
Wait, is 15 waking up where 13 regenerated? Is there going to be like a massive reset for when he finally appears? Why else would they be playing 13's regeneration sound? I have questions!!
@Crimson_Mayhem_
I think it was unfairly hated on the basis that it came across as a replacement for the Original Teen Titans despite it being its own thing. On the other hand, it had a lot of gross out toilet humor that only 8 year olds are capable of finding funny
Honestly, out of all the ways for a Doctor to go out on, 7 has to have the most disturbing death scene out of all of them. It still makes me uneasy whenever looking back at it.
If 14 were to have a more traditional handover in the ending to "The Giggle", I would have loved to have seen a "Carl and Ellie" style montage of 14 living with The Nobles, as they grow old together till 14 peacefully regenerates into 15
People debate which Tardis team would also work with Wild Blue Yonder. But one question I'd love to ask is what would be the equivalent to the scene where The Doctor vents to Fake Donna about The Flux and The Timeless Child for other Tardis teams?
no because imagine that story with the ability to sloooow down and develop ruby and have her character driving the events as opposed to just lots of things happening to her
part 1 welsh pub
part 2 london
part 3 politics
part 4 elderly ruby
come back to us classic who format
2 didn't deserve to have everything taken away from him like that, and while I don't count this scene as his regeneration (since we don't see it actually happen), I'd still say this is the saddest ending to a Doctor ever
@snugglyspring
I love how they clearly photoshopped young Kit and Jack's heads onto some of the pictures. They look a lot bigger than their actual body proportions. Then again, it's easier to not notice when nobody brings it up
On the 6th anniversary of his passing, can we just all agree that Gene Wilder would've been one of the few US actors who would've absolutely nailed it as The Doctor in Doctor Who?
If Tales of The Tardis returns for another series, imagine if we got The Tenth Doctor and Luke Smith doing "The Time Warrior", with Luke asking The Doctor how he first met Sarah Jane, and the 2 reminiscing about their past experiences with her
Revenge of The Mind Robber (1984):
Once upon a time. Once upon a Time Lord... I had a young friend. And his name was Jamie McCrimmon. A Time Lord and a human. We travelled the stars together...
I’m far from getting to this part of classic who but I heard that the 6th doctor apparently got a bad reception back then which is crazy cuz this looks hilarious
I see that Jason and The Argonauts is on TV. I can't have been the only one who was unsettled by the giant statue when I was younger? Still though, some brilliant Stop Motion work by the great Ray Harryhausen
We need an X-Men '97 style animated continuation of Classic Who. Give us the Seasons 27-30 that never were, with McCoy and McGann (and hopefully a Dark Dimension adaptation as well)
Catherine Tate's performance in the Giggle is underappreciated. It may not be as meaty as previous scripts but there's something beautifully subtle yet with emotional weight that is the beating heart of this episode in the way she grounds an emotionally vulnerable Doctor to Earth
Doctor Who: The Animated Series (1974) is honestly an underrated part of The Whoniverse, one of the earliest efforts to launch DW for an international audience after Filmation's plans for a Star Trek Animated Series fell through.
So far, I'll admit that I'm really enjoying the colorization of "The Daleks". Rich and his team have done an extraordinary job in bringing this wonderful story to life. It's like I'm watching it anew all over again for the first time
Here's a colorized green screen I made of The Second Doctor running for anyone to use for their own projects
(I don't mind if I'm not credited for this, but I'll appreciate it if I am)
Given how good Spearhead from Space looked due to it being shot on film, I am surprised that the BBC never considered shooting the rest of Classic Who that way. Then again, I suppose VideoTape was a necessary and much cheaper alternative

:
The Animated Where The Wild Things Are film from 1973, directed by Gene Deitch had a musique concrète score with sound effects of things like a door slamming and a baby crying. It was later replaced with a more traditional score in the 1988 re-release
@fleshykrynoid
7 was pretty much somewhere in-between. He was a Classic Doctor that also happened to be a lonely god who'd ruin you if you got on his wrong side
@PoorlyAgedWho
I'm predicting that the woman herself is Ruby, having to carry her baby to the safety of a church to ensure her existence at the end of an adventure where she meets her mother
Watching the final scene of The Sarah Jane Adventures always leaves me feeling melancholic and sentimental. Honestly, I'd say it's the best of the 3 DW spin offs, imo
