Again sorts of negates the current version as they wouldn't have needed to if this version of regeneration origins was true. Strange. Back to Terrance Dicks ideas on continuity "What we remembered".

I think the new team were just trying to find a way round the 12 regenerations problem if/when they had to recast. However in The Five Doctors the master said that the Time Lords had got his co-operation by promising him a "New regeneration cycle" so wither they were lying or the new idea didn't hav...

Timeslip the ATV series and also a 1955 film shown on TPTV last night. Pity they aren't showing the series.

Just a thought. If 90% people were spending lots of time recording, editing etc there would only be 10% watching if all the rest did watch. :-)

Of course both UFO and Dr Who had stories caller "Timelash".

When you think about it, what a concept! "let's broadcast from a boat outside territorial waters" Then logistics of the mast (on a rocking boat) and the power needed to get the coverage, quite something to think about when today your mobile phone drops a call. Of course, the government was having n...

Radio Times arrived early this week with a two page article from Graeme Garden saying goodbye to "My dear friend Tim".

I'm just disappointed that (as far as I have seen) Barbara Flynn, the Milk Lady, hasn't been in the new series.

I have always thought there was a bit of one hand not knowing what the other is doing in the junking. The sale department had one store (for film telerecordings and engineering for video tapes and I feel one often thought that the other was keeping something and got rid of their copy (sales for spac...

I would have thought it would have been before or soon after decimalisation, when children still remembered Half Crowns.

I think that all reporters are used to doing "Noddy" shots to accompany interviews where they cut away from the speaker to the interviewer. He was probably doing it out of habit in case they cut to him during the introduction.

I believe so, but they did say ALL stories in one advert and there are still many episodes missing. Still as I said Dr Who fans would always demand more repeats, unlike the majority of viewers who often did.

Except for classic Dr Who fans. :-)

I nearly sent someone to Catford when the charity Caford moved from its shop in Brixton and was asked how to get to Caford!!!

The letter I quoted doesn't mention the C4 or LWT duty office. Someone got hold of the phone number of After Dark 's commissioning editor at C4 and phoned him up pretending to be the (presumably non-existent) "duty officer" of the IBA. That person appears to have been Victor Lewis-Smith - a broadca...

Big new TARDIS control room, but it doesn't actually work properly perhaps? :-)

Wasn't the Father Dear Father film made with a multi camera 35mm set up and taken in long sections so that it seemed more like the TV programmes (and was cheaper to produce)?
I'm sure I read that somewhere.

Nor sure about others but Porridge was like just another episode, but longer and The Lovers was almost the whole story retold. Both of theses were with with more location filming.

Looks like they spliced the originally prints of the the filmed sequences into the film recordings of the VT of the rest of the production. Better quality and no out of phase problems.

Just heard on Breakfast that his death has been announced. They gave a good obit to him. Very sad, but a good life.

That effect sounds like they haven't set the circuits (Aspect ratio control?) for interlaced video and are treating it like film, or they have the field dominance set wrong so the later field is sent before the earlier one of the frame, which doesn't matter on film.

If you're logged in, click on "Quick Links" in the top left-hand corner of the screen and it gives you a menu which includes "New Posts" and several other useful links.

Thanks, that works fine.

We seem to have lost the New Post tab, plus a few more, today which I used a lot. Is this coming back?

To be honest I think that most of the Doctors thought to be weak gave much better performances in Big Finish audios. Also McCoy gave his best TV performance in the McGann movie.

Indeed, very sad RIP Nicholas. At least he did keep going and interested in life to the very end at 96, the way I would like to go. I don't think viewing him in the Dr Who story "The Curse of Fenrick" which arrived on Blu Ray Sunday will be as happy an event as I had hoped, but good to see him again...

Bad news. That makes two from DNAYS (Niel Innes from the Bonzo's earlier) in a month.

They have out one up now.

They have to fit in two story threads with different characters that come together at the end as well, most of the time.

From what I've read elsewhere it won't be long until we see her again.

Clanger?

It was only known as the Pharos Project in the original Tom Baker story, never by the name of the place it was modeled on.
