Maybe not now. But at the time it came out Who Wants To Be a Millionaire and The Weakest Link were both pretty big at the time, with the host of Weakest Link doing a Weakest Link show over here. It was only a season or two here, but it was popular enough at the time.
Colin Baker seems like a genuinely nice guy. But he's so much better hamming it up as the villain
I always shill the 6 big finish stuff. Colin can knock it out of the park as the character if the writing he's given isn't dogshit.
If you haven't heard it already, Serpent Crest is an enjoyable Troughton connected story. It's the last part of the Nest Cottage stories after Hornets' Nest and Demon Quest (Nest, quest, crest - can you see what they did!.) All three have the format of a series of stories within an main encompassing story. They are Tom Baker Fourth Doctor stories with the wonderful Mrs Wibbsey. The last two of the four stories in Serpent Crest also heavily involve David Troughton (Patrick's son and a very accomplished actor in his own right) playing the Second Doctor. No spoilers!
No no no, the stupidest, weirdest and just baffling idea of early new-who were the fucking cgi winged demon creatures that eat time like the Steven King Langoleers that they introduced in the episode where Rose saves her dad and creates a paradox and are totally an established part of the perils of time travel apparently.
Isn't Pertwee's son also a really talented actor?
The reason the show became the horrible mess it's been for a good few years now is because of top down pushing for social issue man bad (unless gay) bullshit everywhere isn't it? I mean on top of the shitty writing that really adds to it. But like it's a weird opposite case of the previous hell dr. who faced in the classic era where the top down sabotage was meant to kill it while the top down sabotage now is to just morph it into an immortal skinsuit of retarded stagnant and constantly droning political mantras which despite what some video essayists frame it like is NOT the same thing as a show containing in-universe politics that are inspired by of the moment stuff. Disney deal was supposed to make it stronger like that because more budget and one of the big companies pulling that line but it still fucking failed for obvious reasons.
Given you stopped before tennant left you missed a lot of good, a lot of bad, a lot of really funny out of context shit.
Geg what the fuck am I watching
Once upon a time RTD could actually deliver some "slopkino". Now we don't even really get that.
Doctor Who as a brand is too valuable to the BBC to go anywhere. In the meantime we've got that...spinoff thing with the sea devils. I don't think I've seen anyone talk about it since it was announced though.
it's because he sold out and became a skinsuit mouthpiece for his "superiors". Literally compare how he talked abotu davros when he came back to the statements he made about davros recently. And by recently I mean a few years ago because time's so fucked now and shit's so stagnant I forgot it's been not one but like two years since he did that BS where he acted like davros was some wildly offensive thing to wheelchair people that should have never been brought back completely of course ignoring the fact that he himself was the one that brought davros back. It's literally soul vs. soulless type stuff. Actual talk about behind the scenes stuff vs. parroting puppet sludge.
RTD was always kind of eccentric, but the whole wheelchair thing with Davros was perhaps the most inane shit I've heard from him since the original run in 2005. Introduce a "good" character in a wheelchair by all means, but Davros being a threat despite being technically disabled was one of the most impressive things about him.
Another big thing about davros' design and behavior is meant to be a showcase of how the horrors of war can fuck people up both physically and mentally. And not in a "oh no aaaa ptsd attack sad scary" mentally but a genuine distortion of logic and worldview that potentially spawns even greater atrocities type of stuff. Davros is smart enough that if things had been even the slightest bit different for him he'd potentially have done genuine good, and from his perspective the things he's doing that are extremely atrocious to anyone else are logical and reasonable goods. nuclear war ravaging your world so there's a bunch of crippled mutilated and mutated people? Accelerate it and intensify the warlike aspects so you have beings perfectly capable of surviving nuclear armageddon that seemingly coming whether or not you intervene. People stuck in suspended animation at a hospital with incurable diseases? Just gene- splice and mind fuck them into more of your previous mutant creations from your home planet, at least they'll be living that way. The retarded ones or the people that can't pay for that get mulched to solve the galactic hunger crisis. Some guy keeps intervening with shit, and put your creations to extinction when they likely would have beaten the supposedly "superior" aliens who've decided to police the act of time travel? Rape the universe with reality distortion so every living thing except the little bubble space station you made fucking disintegrates. His plans make sense from his perspective, even if others don't agree with it and the results are definitely monstrous.
Even though the guy that was the kid behind the fucking absorbaloff made a youtube video basically smearing the shit out of us for taking interest in funny people online I'd still see him as a more worthy showrunner than RTD's current skinwalker form.
The key word being "shit".
No, the key word is "funny".
