15 April.

Because Moffat thinks the Yanks will all need a good way to relax after a stressful day rushing to the only open post office within miles to mail in their taxes, because he saw a movie from 1985 when it actually was like that.

Why not start airing it next saturday? the vast majority of the eps are done. Hell eps 1-5 have been completely finished for months.

Yes, the show (unironically) needs big floating brains every few years, and they were one of the best ones in the history of Who.

So is basically every humanoid species Rassilon's sperm baby?

Did Moffat make a continuity error in Deep Breath? Vastra calls the Doctor a Monkey, I thought time Lords weren't primates but repto-mammalians.

>>80027875
Depends on whether you listen to Zagreus or read the novels or read the other novels. But one way or the other, Rassilon did a thing and therefore humanoids.

>>80027661
Yeah, but 12 doesnt really have many great monsters anyways.

>>80027651
That's a lot better

>>80027875
yes

>>80027875
They should seriously make that canon. The whole "aliens who look human" thing could finally be put to rest in an interesting way.

>>80027946
My favorite version is the one without morphic resonances or seeding or anything, just Rassilon going out and exterminating the ancestors of all non-Gallifreyan-looking intelligent life forms that could conceivably threaten the Time Lords in the future.

It fits in nice with the Time Lords fucking up over and over again leading to the LGTW, because he left the Kaleds alone because they looked just like him until Davros got involved.

>>80028000
>he left the Kaleds alone because they looked just like him until Davros got involved
According to Lance Parkin, he probably left them alone because their ultimate form, the Klade, were humanoid again, so he just missed the Daleks in the middle.

I don't know if that's better or worse, but I wish Lance had gotten a chance to develop the Klade more so we could find out.

>>80027926
At least 12 will have faced a lot of the big iconic monsters and villains: Daleks, Cybermen, Davros, the Master, Zygons, Ice Warriors and Rassilon.

i liked rassilon in hell bent

>>80028096
And even Silurians, if you count being friends with one.

But still no Krotons. Or Quarks.

>>80028139
Ditto Sontarans with Strax.

Doesnt everyone get to though?

>>80028413
Eccleston didn't get any either, other than Daleks.

OFFICIAL OBJECTIVE NUWHO RANKINGS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQiyv9xtnQU

>>80028458
Well, I guess the Slitheen are iconic for how bad they were.
Matt has the Silence, idunno how iconic they are though.

>>80028207
So, am I forgetting anyone, or are Autons and Ogrons, and maybe the Rani, the only ones he's missing?

I mean, there are a few others who appeared twice, or had a couple cameos or mentions after their appearance, but only Big Finish thinks, say, the Drashigs or the Wirrrn are a serious iconic presence in classic Who.

>>80028513
Ogrons, iconic, kek

sucks the writing in matts era got worse while he got better as an actor

>>80028458
He got the plastic monsters who's name escape me

>>80028413
He got Daleks, Angels and Cybermen though

>>80028513
Maybe Weeping Angels although they were in Hell Bent if you count cameos.

I hope the next Doctor doesn't meet the Daleks til their second series. Same with Cybermen and the Master. Give 'em a little break.

Weren't anon and anon talking just about iconic classic-Who monsters, not iconic nuWho monsters? Because otherwise he's missing pretty much all of them, other than the Ood and Judoon cameos in FtR.

>>80028727
>Valeyard?
I guess so, at last on the same level as Ogrons or the Rani.

Also the Black (and White) Guardian, too.

OK, so my memory isn't what it used to be. Still, Capaldi did face a pretty good percentage of the iconic classic enemies (is that what we were talking about? Now I remember, a sieve, that's the thing my memory's like), for whatever that's worth.

>>80028837
wait, did i miss a memo?

how are we defining iconic? cos i'd hardly say the ogrons, the rani and the fecking valeyard are iconic

>>80028855
>cos i'd hardly say the ogrons, the rani and the fecking valeyard are iconic
But other than the Autons, that's about as iconic as you get for classic monsters that 12 missed, which is kind of the point.

Except for the Black Guardian, who's probably a bigger deal than the Ogrons and I forgot him, but even he isn't that big a deal.

>>80028928
12 didn't really miss any iconic monsters, cos he hit the big 3 (daleks, cybermen, master). the rest are second-rate tier and lower (stuff like the ice warriors)

>>80028957
the big 4, cos Davros deserves to be in there

is it pal or paul

>>80028957
>12 didn't really miss any iconic monsters, cos he hit the big 3 (daleks, cybermen, master). the rest are second-rate tier and lower (stuff like the ice warriors)
I think we were talking about the second-tier stuff—the OP mentioned Zygons, Ice Warriors, and Rassilon Rassilon. I think Silurians, Sontarans, and Autons are on the same tier. Maybe the Rani, the Black Guardian, Omega (oops, another one I forgot…), the Valeyard and the Ogrons (depending on how far you want to stretch things) are too. But beyond that you get into only-Gary-Russell-cares territory.

/who/ is shrinking

Voted the Boneless, because was intrigued by the idea of a 2D creature trying to be 3D, and would like to see them return in the show.

Almost went for the Veil, but didn't because that creature is the Doctor's personal imaginary phobia and should remain so.

>>80029100
Silurians? Rly? Before they came back in 2010, I don't think anyone gave any shit about them.

I suppose I'd call them "vaguely memorable" instead of "iconic/near-iconic". As in your average viewer might recall that cliffhanger where the Sea Devils came out of the sea but that wouldn't make them iconic. Just that moment is memorable.

>>80027720
Loved the obvious BDSM hint in that scene.

>>80029173
>Silurians? Rly? Before they came back in 2010, I don't think anyone gave any shit about them.
And you think the Zygons, who appeared a grand total of one time in the classic series, are more iconic?

Seriously, who do _you_ think should be on a list with Zygons, Ice Warriors, and Rassilon?

Also, remember that the whole point of bringing back classic foes is entirely the nerd fan audience. Casual viewers don't care about Sontarans or "ooh, Mondasian Cybermen" any more than they care about Macra.

>>80029247
>obvious BDSM
In a show that regularly got away with having Yates, Romana, or Adric tied to an altar or suspended from leather straps in the 70s with Mary Whitehouse watching.

>>80029301
>And you think the Zygons, who appeared a grand total of one time in the classic series, are more iconic?
I don't remember saying that. And as it goes, no, I don't.

The big 3 or 4 are the ones I consider iconic. The rest are just either vaguely memorable (hell, even the general public probably remember the one with the giant maggots more than they remembered the Zygons) or average at best.

League table of iconic Doctor Who monsters/villains:

1. Daleks
2. Cybermen
3. The Master
4. Davros
5. Weeping Angels
6. Sontarans
7. Autons
8. Ice Warriors
9. Zygons
10. Silurians
11. Rassilon
12. Omega
13. The Rani
14. Valeyard
15. Black Guardian
16. Sea Devils
17. Ogrons

Is this about right? Any I'm missing?

>>80029366
>I don't remember saying that. And as it goes, no, I don't.
It was pretty clear what the OP was talking about with his list, so I answered him based on what he was obviously talking about. Should I have instead called him an idiot for using the wrong word?

>>80029462
You sound like you're trying to get into an argument with yourself.

>>80029443
None of them beyond #5 or 6 are iconic.

>>80029443
If you're going to include the Weeping Angels, I think the Slitheen and the Silents have to be in there. Certainly memorable, and had some impact on pop culture, even if you don't like them.

>>80029497
I was trying to have a friendly discussion with two or three other anons, you're the one who jumped in with "Rly?"

>>80029512
And the Ood.

No way are the fucking Ogrons more iconic than the Ood.

>>80029512
Damn. I forgot about the Silence.

>>80029366
Excuse my ignorance and youth, but who the fuck is Mary Whitehouse?

>>80028096
Shame he hasn't met an Ood.

>>80029557
Yeah, the Ood too. My memory really is failing.

>>80029571
>Excuse my ignorance and youth, but who the fuck is Mary Whitehouse?
Mary Whitehouse was an art teacher turned moral crusader who claimed that sex and violence in children's television were the reason for social permissiveness, atheism, anarchy in the streets, and dogs and cats living together. She particularly hated everything on the BBC, and especially particularly Doctor Who.

Somewhere early this century, someone asked her about the bit in the Bible telling us not to follow female teachers, and her head exploded. But back in the 70s and 80s, the BBC really were afraid of her riling the public up against them.

12 has had a pretty good run so far:

Adventures with UNIT
Met the Master - the first female incarnation
Joined in the 50th anniversary
Met Davros as a kid
Stormed Skaro which housed classic Daleks
About to meet the first female Ice Warrior
Found Gallifrey
Met the Cybermen
Met Rassilon
Bumped into a Weeping Angel
Met Zygons
Met Strax, Vastra and Jenny
Went inside a fucking Dalek
Met Santa, kek
Got the last River Song adventure

What else?

>>80029711
He didn't get to directly meet any past incarnations of himself on TV like 3, 5, 6, 10 and 11 did.

But then he may still get that when he's a past incarnation meeting even older incarnations, like 2 and 4 (and 3 and 10 again).

>>80029711
His era had the first gender & race regeneration change, as well as all three of his finales being directed by a woman.

>>80029940
Hello Gallifrey Base!

>>80029711
First ever 'solo episode'
His era had a scene showing pre-AUC stuff (in Listen)

Not a bad era all things considered

>>80029664
>the BBC really were afraid of her riling the public up against them
Or maybe more afraid of her doxxing them or harassing them, as she did to Hugh Greene, or suing them, as when she won the only case of Blasphemous Libel Against the Queen's Church in QE2's reign against a gay magazine I forget the name of.

>>80029940
>His era had the first gender & race regeneration change
Doesn't getting excited for that kind of miss the point of Moffat trying to establish that it's a perfectly normal occurrence among Gallifreyans and not something to get all excited for or against?

Honestly, it can be read either way. I don't know based on this short quote whether he means a household name, or a good actor. Maybe I'm just stupid, but I think the only people who know for sure which one he meant as soon as they read the quote are people like Girly Letters who are desperately hoping for some particular person who happens to be a name actor and will take anything they can get as confirmation.

The best part about Nardole is imagining the conversation between Matt Lucas and David Walliams.

>David, guess what! I'm going to be a regular companion next season!
>Well, that's great. I mean, all that work, and pretending to be friends with Mark Gatiss, and I successfully got my best friend to be a regular on my favorite show. I'm happy for you!
>I get the feeling you're a little resentful.
>Why would I be resentful? My best friend—not myself, mind you, but my best friend—gets to cstar on my favorite show—not his, mind you. What could be better?
>Look, David, I was going to invite you to the shooting for the first production block, but…
>Wait, no! I don't know why you think I'm being sarcastic. Can I meet Capaldi? Will he give me an autograph?

nardole is the 21st century version of fucking whizzkid from season 25

>>80030540
I know they aren't working together, but I thought that was just because Matt Lucas didn't want to be a sketch comedian anymore, not because of any personal animosity? But I really don't follow their personal lives, so I could easily be wrong.

(In fact, I'd bet I am wrong about Walliams not actually liking Gatiss, it was just funnier that way.)

is this a show made for mentally impaired people? havent watched it yet, but from what you can read here, its for either kids or mentally stunted crips. is it?

Ah, I can see how that's exactly like Whizzkid being played by a child actor at the peak of his Get Fresh fame when he appeared on Doctor Who.

>>80030901
the whizzkid comparison was essentially that he's just a fucking irritant in the show (who works as a one off character but has nothing more to offer beyond that)

At least Tate, who's a good similarity, was cast at the height of her popularity and proved everyone wrong by actually showing she had a good range as an actor.

Lucas has been cast after years of doing nothing whatsoever, to munch on leaves and basically be a toddler who enjoys playing dress up in the TARDIS

I really wish the actual Series 10 were ending with Capaldi regenerating, cos that'd help the buzz this year. Capaldi doing a series then waiting months just for his last episode is all a bit meh, and I'm bored of regenerations at Christmas now

He was in Love Actually so the average American will sort of know who he is.

Doctor who is fucking garbage.
It can tell any story in all of time and space and it always ends up a shitty looking celebration of mediocrity.
It's a predictable, safe formulaic children's show where the Le wacky man saves the day with some 'witty' banter and a 'clever' scheme.
The Doctor never goes anywhere in his development, just going from dark to light or dark to light depending on the incarnation.
It has no love for science or history, it just boils everything down for lowest common denominator. It's a waste of time and effort,
why don't you losers mature and watch some grown up television for a change.
You shouldn't watch doctor who unless it's with your own children but I really don't want you plebs procreating.

>They could not have been more offended, confused, enraged and startled... There was a moment of stunned silence... and then an eruption of angry voices from all over the fifteen-hundred-person audience. The kids in their Luke Skywalker pajamas (cobbled up from older brother's castoff karate gi) and the retarded adults spot-welded into their Darth Vader freight-masks howled with fury. But I stood my ground, there on the lecture platform at the World Science Fiction Convention, and I repeated the heretical words that had sent them into animal hysterics:

>"Star Wars is adolescent nonsense; Close Encounters is obscurist drivel; Star Trek can turn your brains into puree of bat guano; and the greatest science fiction series of all time is Doctor Who! And I'll take you all on, one-by-one or all in a bunch to back it up!"

Did anybody here listen to the BF Short Trips audio that won that competition last year? Is it any good? I just re-read my entry and liked it more than I remember, I think I'll re-submit it if they do it again this year and maybe write a new one too.

The 13th doctor will not have any of the following traits

older than 40. Nobody wants to watch a 50 year old actor having a midlife crisis.
Female or Non-White
Asian or any other culture that isn't british/english

The 13th doctor will be

White British Male

late 20s early to mid 30s no older than 40.
Probably a rising star featured in a recent big block buster or hit tv/netflix series
Looks great in a suit
Matt Smith / David Tennant like qualities

I stopped watching mid season 6 and want to get back into the show, is there any episodes that are a MUST watch? I'm probably joing to end up rewatching from the 9th doctor onwards, but still I'd like to know what episodes are worth a damn.

>>80038176
Sorry, Mr. Whishaw, you don't get to become the Doctor by announcing a bunch of rule each blatantly designed to eliminate Olivia Colman, Kris Marshall, Patterson Joseph, or someone else with better odds than you and then just pretend that all those rules are absolute and therefore you're the only choice in the UK.

Well, I figured if Kris Marshall was smart enough to buy himself a hashtag campaign to run up his odds, what actor could be dumb enough to think ranting on /who/ would have a similar effect? And Ben, my boy, you're the only option.

The Day of the Doctor (the 50th anniversary special), Listen, Mummy on the Orient Express, and Heaven Sent are IMHO the best post-series 6 episodes. And be sure to watch the mini-episode Night of the Doctor before Day of the Doctor, it's on youtube.

Series 8-9 in my opinion had very forgettable soundtracks. Murray gold reached his height back in 2007.

the worst capaldi era scene music wise was in flatline when they played his theme when he was moving the tardis with his hands. that was unnecessary.

Back when the Deadly Assassin first aired were people upset by them bringing back the Roger Delgado Master as a decaying corpse only 3 years after Delgado died?

>>80028467
>Eccleston
>Era

>>80043272
People really didn't think of Doctor Who that way back then. And there weren't any fan forums, or even a magazine with a letters column, for people to discuss it.

The BBC did get complaints, but they were about how the decaying Master was too disgusting for family TV, although as far as I know most actual kids thought the disgusting Master was pretty cool looking.

>>80043272
You'd hope so

>>80043772
It's less about the way people think of doctor who, and more about the way people think about other people desu. No matter what show it is, replacing an actor who died in a car accident with a character that looks like a charred corpse is a bit tactless

>>80044235
>replacing an actor who died in a car accident with a character that looks like a charred corpse is a bit tactless
But was it worse than CyberBrig

>>80044235
But Roger Delgado wasn't really a celebrity. Most viewers probably didn't even remember that the guy who used to play this character died in a car crash, much less think about it while they were watching the episode. So the question of whether it was tactless wouldn't have even occurred to them.

>But was it worse than CyberBrig
Come on, you know Courtney's will said "All I want is to be the first person to appear on Doctor Who posthumously, whatever tech you have to make it happen. And hopefully you can slow the pace down for my scene a bit instead of that crazy editing you kids do nowadays, but who am I kidding about that part. Just make me a Cyberman or something."

>>80044279
>But was it worse than CyberBrig
Imo, that was tactless too. But Crispy Master is way worse. It was only a few years after his death and he died young.

>>80044466
>But Roger Delgado wasn't really a celebrity. Most viewers probably didn't even remember that the guy who used to play this character died in a car crash, much less think about it while they were watching the episode

>>80044848
You're talking about Forever Fallen? It's available for free download from the BF website; why don't you listen to it yourself?

>>80045242
Because I'm lazy and want to have a chat with /who/. Also, I'm jealous they won.

>>80045477
It would probably be a much better chat if you could actually, you know, chat about it, but I'll bite anyway.

First, the parts you want to hear: The humour would have worked much better in print than in audio, Seven was the wrong Doctor, a couple of the references were cringeworthy, the intro part was all wrong and didn't live up to what you imagined from the pitch, and a some parts of the character's progression are cliched.

But, on the other hand, it's still a good idea, and the way it's organized is clever and works beyond the intro. It's pretty well constructed, the prose is mostly solid, and some of the jokes are funny.

So, not bad for an amateur, but not like BF highlight of 2016 or anything.

>>80045637
>spoonfeeding a lazy faggot who admits to being lazy
Anon...

>>80045637
Interesting. Would you recommend it? And did you enter the competition?

If BF haven't given up on this annual event, I expect it'll open again in a couple of months. I should listen to it before then and write up a 2nd pitch (if I remember correctly, you were allowed to submit multiple entries).

>>80045681

>>80045793
Kill yourself

>>80045793
>Would you recommend it?
Well, most people I know, there are obviously dozens of audios I'd recommend ahead of it. But for you? Seriously, if you're not willing to spend 36 minutes getting a better feel for what they want by listening to the winner, why are you entering the competition at all?

>And did you enter the competition?
No. I don't write anymore, and even when I did, I don't think most of my ideas would have been right for Doctor Who. If I tried writing Who, I'd probably do a bad Douglas Adams pastiche (or, worse, maybe a bad pastiche of Gareth, Nev Fountain, and/or Dave Stone doing a good Adams pastiche), and who needs that?

>>80045979
>But for you? Seriously, if you're not willing to spend 36 minutes getting a better feel for what they want by listening to the winner, why are you entering the competition at all?
Pls no bully. I just said I'm going to listen to it before entering again, if they even do it again. I didn't realise it was so long though. 36 minutes. I've listened to one Short Trip before and that seemed quite short. It's hard to imagine the one I submitted being stretched over that period of time, but I definitely stuck to the word limit requirements and I suppose audio stories move slower when it's prose. I hope someone other than Briggs reads this year's.

>If I tried writing Who, I'd probably do a bad Douglas Adams pastiche (or, worse, maybe a bad pastiche of Gareth, Nev Fountain, and/or Dave Stone doing a good Adams pastiche), and who needs that?
That doesn't sound so bad to me, considering they're all Doctor Who writers.

The dream is dead. It's him. Exactly the same happened with Peter two days before he was announced.

On reflection I think I disliked the majority of Series 9. This has to be up there with series 6 as one of my least favorite seasons. You get the odd good story like 'Under the Lake' or something really well acted like 'Heaven Sent' but then you get episodes like this one and all of that shite with Ashildr. The fact that character was considered to be a recurring presence just boggles the mind. Two underwhelming/down right crap stories with Ashildr back to back and they though "we'll make an arc out of that". It's seeing this episode again (hadn't watched it since it aired) that gives me no hope for the new series. I think going in with low expectations is the only way I think I'll find it redeemable. Although saying that I came out of the most recent trailer saying "Yeah, but why is Nardole there? It should be the Doctor and Bill, Nardole looks like he's walked in from Balamory and doesn't know what's going on".

I've seen people of Gallifreybase bad mouth Chibnall's stories as a reflection of his upcoming prospects as showrunner, but when I look back on these episodes it makes me wonder how it could get much worse...
