RSS Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 With only a few minor spoilers, the guys briefly discuss "The Wedding of River Song." Then a listener tells a tale of a Doctor Who-related prank that nearly went wrong. As for the two stories, first, in "Warriors of the Deep," the Silurians and Sea Devils are back, and are up to their old man-eradicating ways. And in "The Awakening," a long-buried alien force takes control of a village during a reenactment of the English Civil War. Mixed in with the green paint of the Myrka are lots of truly random references, often to better programming. Note: The duo experienced Internet issues during the recording, leading to some less-than-desirable bits of audio.

Koete Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I'm not done with the review yet, but "Warriors of the Deep" is going to be the terrible episode example. No contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 "Warriors of the Deep" is a candidate for worst story ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 What did I miss? Also, I forgot to edit one "shit" out of the program. So I'll be re-uploading the corrected file in a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 What did I miss? I refer to my wondering if Matthew Waterhouse might or might not be an actual human person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothian Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Mightily impressed that Mike knew that 1643 was pretty much the conflict nexus of the English Civil War! That being said, that exchange you're so fond of ("You speak treason!" "Fluently") is lifted directly from Errol Flynn's "Adventures of Robin Hood" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Truth be told, the date is mentioned in the story. Furthermore. until "The Awakening," I didn't even know there was an English Civil War. As for the quote being from Robin Hood, it makes The Doctor that much cooler. I can somehow imagine Doctor Five as Robin Hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can somehow imagine Doctor Five as Robin Hood. TBH we had several civil wars, although THE English Civil War (as it led to a reigning monarch being beheaded) was essentially 1642-1651 and is used to describe three major outbreaks of war, all of which the English Parliament won thanks to Oliver Cromwell being a vicious bast...general. I can see Davison as Robin Hood more than I can most other actors, although that's more because everyone else (except maybe Smith) would have been awful.

Richard Paterson Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Don't tell me you wouldn't want to watch Sylvester McCoy as Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrobin Hood! I've been trying to play along with the show during the Davison era, but I just couldn't bring myself to watch Warriors of the Deep...

Stovepipe Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Warriors of the Deep is poor, but in its defense I thought it looked really cool on paper, and you can't really blame it for how badly it was produced. Still, it's not the worst of the Davison era. That'd be Time-Flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Paterson Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 I actually quite like Time-Flight... for about an episode and a half. Warriors is just poorly-executed throughout, although I didn't know about the rush-production, and sadly the only things I can really remember about it are the "kung-fu" and the smelly suit, which is quite sad.

It'll be the next DVD I rent after "The Horns of Nimon." I can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, that exchange you're so fond of ("You speak treason!" "Fluently") is lifted directly from Errol Flynn's "Adventures of Robin Hood" JUst so you can see for yourselves. This movie was big at our house and we quote it quite often. When I first saw the Awakening and heard that line I think I squealed It's at 2:30, give or take. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Evof-iVDOwQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
