  2. Episode 91

    Certainly there is no way to compare Billy Pipers pop career to that of Justin Bieber. Maybe someone like Aaron Cater would be closer. A few hits years before but nothing you can really remember. By the time she got this gig she was only remembered for being married to Chris Evans who was at that time a huge star in the UK.

    Not a fan of Rose (the episode or the character) and the final nail was when in a confidential for the season 4 finale she said she needed to watch her old episodes on DVD in order to see how to play the character. She isn't Marlon Brando. She just needs to hit her mark, say the words and smile. Can't even do that convincingly.

    It is ages since I saw one of her episodes and I can't see that changing anytime soon. Hard to think of a real stand-out episode. They are all a bit average and for me a big part of that is the fact that she is in them. My least favorite of the nu-who companions by a mile.

    Well, amazed that something squeezed past you guys. Nicolas Courtney was in episode 1 of silver Nemesis!!! Uncredited as a Tourist. Invited as part of the Silver anniversary "celebrations". Keep your eyes open for him if you can ever bring yourself to watch it again.

  11. what do you want to see brought back

    I know David Tennant said he would love to come back for the 50th anniversary but the return of Dr 10 is probably the last thing I would want to see. The show has a very different feel now and the first four seasons of the revived show seem to have an almost comic book feel when put alongside the last two seasons.

    And a return of the clone. Would give that a miss (especially if he brought Rose with him).

    Also Donna's character should be allowed to disappear into history as well. We have already said goodbye to her three times.

    I know I am just a noob here but it might also be relevant to note that Mike and Dan disagreed on a large number of episodes. Also that a lot of very poor episodes qualified for the "get some mates and some booze" stamp of excellence in being terrible beyond words but still essential viewing. And lastly that for every episode that was hammered there was always someone who emailed in to disagree.

    Best thing is to look at the "top 200" pole. It represents the Dr Who collective opinion and while it might be fair to say some episodes are ranked too high or too low it is fairly representative of what is good and what is bad. The link is.....

    Was bitterly disappointed by die another day. I had expected it to be great and it was just woeful. then I watched Licence to kill that I thought would be woeful and it was great. So I suppose you can never tell what your gonna get.

  15. General S&B/Blake's 7 thoughts

    Will definitely download this. Just got season 1, and although I thought I had seen all the episodes the debut episode was new to me. Thought it was excellent that they did not try to introduce the seven straight away. So far it is Blake's 3 and even thrn they do not like each other. Will download your show before proceding any further.

    The wife is away this weekend so myself and my kids have planned a key of time marathon. Two adventures per day Sat/sun/mon. Can't wait. Have had the dvd's for ages but never had time to watch them. And after listening to these podcasts I have to think that it isn't really that bad.

    Ghost light has one of the best documentaries on any Doctor Who disc and it really is essential viewing before watching this episode. Ghostlight could have been a really great episode but so much was cut that the story didn't make sense anymore. The documentary fills in the blanks and pulls the whole thing into focus. Not for a newb but certainly one of the best of the 7th Doctor.

    Battlefield is another that I feel underachieves. Could have done with a bit of atmosphere. It all seems a bit too bright and sunny.

    Can't wait to hear what you guys think as unfortunately they don't let me listen to BOTI while in work.

    Have not heard the podcast yet but I am watching this one at the moment. What is going on with Turloughs shorts??? Micro isn't the word. Surely this wasn't even cool in the 80s. And he sees Peri drowning but still stops to take them off before diving into the water. As he is on the commentary I will certainly be listening to this one. My guess is that the Doctor and Peri have to mention this.

    But great to see 70s legend Peter Wyngarde back on the TV. He would have made a great Dr Who if he had been offerred the role just after doing Jason King.

    As for Peri's acting. Terrible. But as the focus of just about every shot was on the chest and not on her acting it isn't really Nicola Bryant's fault.
