0:00
Welcome back to a handsome with a blunt, penknife questions and
0:05
answers. What?
0:09
Who are you amazed? Yeah.
0:12
Oh Mark, hello. Hello, you take care.
0:16
My house. Hello.
0:21
Okay, so this is the first episode of the little new
0:28
hamster. Strain that's going on here.
0:30
It's going to be questions and answers My Fabulous assistant PA
0:35
and Technical Support. Mark Rollins will be asking the
0:40
questions. We'll have a little discussion
0:42
about it or try and find some kind of consensus.
0:45
Yeah I've just found out about this as well.
0:47
Everyone do you think a consensus is something you and I
0:51
could possibly reach. I think.
0:53
So, it happens every now and again.
0:56
What? So the first round of questions
0:59
is all Now, the 1980s I have to say thank you so much because I
1:06
have tons of questions come in. I was quite surprised and some
1:10
were very far from some of our silly and somewhat from Frasier,
1:15
a lot with from frasor, how many are there from frasor?
1:18
I don't know yet. We'll mix them up.
1:19
I will mix them through. I've looked through the thread.
1:23
Okay, well, would you like to kick us off?
1:26
Okay, so first question is from Um, Dylan Reese artilleries.
1:32
Now I thought as well while we're doing the questions, we'll
1:34
just talk a little bit about the person Dylan recent does a
1:38
podcast called too hot for TV accompli.
1:41
If I can remember that, I would listen to this week is fabulous
1:44
on this. Listen to me.
1:45
Yeah. Isn't it great?
1:46
Yeah. And it's invited us both forms
1:47
her to do a podcast soon. What was it about?
1:52
Well, he's podcast his podcast. Yeah, too hot for TV.
1:56
Yeah, well, it's a doctor who podcast, but it's about the sort
2:00
of spin-off media fabulously kneeling.
2:04
So, basically, if it's not televised Doctor Who in a way so
2:08
you know, you got your books. Yeah, audios your spin-off
2:14
videos and stuff we thought would be comic strip.
2:17
Sucking original do BBV commentary, can't wait and
2:20
there, he was years back doing it and bring it.
2:22
Books about it. Anyway, is fabulous.
2:24
Go find to watch for TV or screws Hot For TV.
2:28
Oh yeah, your to watch it anyway.
2:32
So the first question is is Collins costume.
2:36
Really a mistake or an iconic slice of 80s, goodness.
2:42
Okay. This is a bit of a weird one,
2:44
you know, because I think it was a mistake and I do think his era
2:49
would perhaps be looked upon a little more.
2:52
And lie, without that very bold, explosion of bloody colors, but
2:57
I don't really notice it anymore.
2:59
And it's something that I've just come to associate with his
3:02
doctor. What would you think?
3:05
I mean, I don't think you can blame everything on the costume.
3:09
I think there's so it was just one of many factors like I like
3:13
to see if I'm 19. Yeah yeah but it's just one of
3:16
many things that you could criticize there and I don't
3:18
think you can just blame but because he's the doctor front
3:21
and center. In explosion of rainbow colors.
3:25
It's just like this weird garish statement for the era or as men.
3:30
So I think it would have helped if it had been toned down a
3:32
little bit and it was a bit more costly.
3:34
I think it would have helped a little bit.
3:36
What would have been a good change too much?
3:39
Remember, he said he wanted the Christopher Eccleston leather
3:41
jacket. Can you imagine that?
3:44
No, not really. Did you see that special feature
3:46
where they put him in a black suit in the 2011?
3:49
Yeah, well they redid the thing or yeah.
3:51
Well the blue one or the other. Finish Blue version.
3:53
In fact, Robert Valentine recently very handsome.
3:56
You know said that he thought that they should have gone down
4:02
the sort of wolves of wolves of Greenstreet know.
4:05
What am I thinking of you know sort of 80s Banker look oh yeah
4:09
Australian industry. Yeah.
4:12
And I should have gone so down sort of that look because it was
4:15
very that was very in thing in the mid-eighties.
4:17
Yeah, what about what, you know, what David Banks will for the
4:20
theater production? Do you?
4:22
You ever see that one? He played the dog go with this
4:24
always goes well, that was that was a bit suppose it was a bit.
4:27
Second thoughts, a new adventures, really.
4:28
Actually what I need to know where P Davison.
4:30
He looked a bit like Peter Davis.
4:31
Yeah, absolutely. So Dylan, we've reached a
4:35
consensus that what I would? You know what though?
4:39
It's just he does stick out on those big finish covers now.
4:41
Yes, yeah, true. So yeah.
4:43
Mistake or not. Yes.
4:44
Or no. Yes.
4:46
Okay. And I think even Jay and he
4:49
said, you know, while he was dragging on a cigarette, you
4:52
know, my hands up, I made a mistake.
4:58
Okay, next question comes from frasor Gregory, of course, one
5:02
of 500. Go on.
5:03
Okay, well, the first one is okay, snog.
5:07
Marry or feeder can of Halen pieces, find this cat food to
5:14
Michael grade. Eric's a word.
5:16
No, John nathan-turner. I'll figure out what straight
5:19
where I really feel the kind of cat food to Eric's award because
5:23
I couldn't snowgo. Marry him.
5:25
Have you seen him? He looks like toad of toad.
5:28
All got a massive neck, like Terrence C.
5:34
So I'll have to have to Snug JN T because he's had two.
5:38
It is mouth at once. Well, yeah, probably, come on.
5:43
He's down those conventions. He was under bold Destiny was
5:47
leaning on and who will marry. And then Michael grade, I'd love
5:51
to marry Michael grave could on that special feature.
5:54
But he's my bro is a grave like a great because he was really
6:00
interesting. He goes there, goes to Michael
6:03
grade. Why did you cancel dog?
6:04
True, you know what he said? Well, he sect will have you
6:08
watched it. He said, you go and watch it and
6:10
tell me if you think that's a good use of the last as payers
6:13
money. Yeah, so there you go.
6:17
Okay, next question. Do you think Eric's award would
6:19
like to eat some of her own pace?
6:21
Is cat food? No, you know what he'd say?
6:24
He go. This is all the fault of the
6:26
producer, John nathan-turner. Okay, next question comes from
6:32
all of time and space pod cast. Hello all the time and space out
6:35
there, but we've interacted before which a sea story.
6:40
Do you think could work really well in the new series?
6:45
Oh my God. What a brilliant question.
6:47
What do you think? Oh yeah, I thought I do have
6:52
one. Well, he's been so completely
6:54
remade like the script, but then, just everything else, you
6:58
know, is, is no serious. Yes, we really, really like
7:02
Enlightenment would look amazing with a natural urge, really?
7:05
Well, they kind of did that with the special edition and I found
7:10
something this big and bold Warrior.
7:11
He's gay. Could you imagine that with like
7:13
a massive budget and without that kind of shitty white, CSO
7:19
Yes. Well, God bless you can make
7:21
logopolis epic. I'll be cool with it.
7:25
Rotten you say so. Because it's a lot of really
7:28
pretty says, for this already a lot precess.
7:31
Okay, you got to choose one. I am going to say, The twin died
7:39
Landmark. No, no.
7:41
Jesus Christ. Imagine trying to make that
7:42
nowadays and condensing that actually can I walk?
7:46
I am going to say the twin died. Lemons.
7:48
You know why? I think if you cut it down to 45
7:51
minutes, yeah, you have a very condensed through character Arc
7:56
of the sixth doctor. Having a violent moment, and
7:58
then learn redeeming himself a bit like Capaldi in his first
8:03
episode, although that stretched along for a beer through a bit,
8:06
a money at the screen. Imagine the Giant Gas.
8:08
Positive cg.o. A sloshing around, are all up
8:11
the walls. Yeah, laughing.
8:13
Yeah. I see them.
8:14
What's his name? The show?
8:16
What's his name was? Charles sell the shell, the
8:18
shell shoes on ever. Go see this movie, that's my
8:21
cell, the shell. It was a little shell with feet
8:24
and you'd step in maple syrup. And then start climbing up the
8:28
walls with sticky shoes. Anyway.
8:30
Sorry, you know, I could see that actually, yeah, to until
8:33
Emma Perry. I'm a good man.
8:36
Oh doctor. No, you're not.
8:38
Crazy bird people as well. Hmm, with the sort of this
8:46
makeup, that does something like the cat people from the one, you
8:50
love Smith and Jones. Okay, so we got rid of we're
8:53
going with the twin dilemma. Yeah, and you know it'll be
8:56
fucking shorter as well. So next question is from Andy
9:01
Parkinson. Oh, we met a Deep Pockets and
9:03
this weekend at the BFI, what a Charming gentleman.
9:06
Honestly, it's very effusive in his Praise, you know, form for
9:10
podcasts. He asks the monsters in the 80s
9:15
often get slated, sometimes quite rightly.
9:18
So are we more forgiving of monsters in earlier decades?
9:23
If so, why? I think they're better, I think
9:26
than 70s monsters are better than the 80s monsters.
9:30
You think of the sontarans in the time Warrior.
9:34
And if you get the sontarans in the two doctors, yes.
9:38
Yeah. So they did get worse and they
9:40
in a way they are. Yeah, those, it's diminishing
9:42
returns for the sontarans. But yeah, something like Smith
9:45
store or something and you've got, I don't know, I think of a
9:49
one-off baddie in the 70s, in the 60s before, you know, quite
9:53
forgiving of like, I mean, the sensor Arts since rots sensor
9:57
right on that, amazing. I think, in the 70s, they got
10:02
the that copter or something. But if you look at them, an
10:04
opera and then you look at the things in the Twin dilemma,
10:07
maybe it's just things haven't actually changed.
10:08
That much our crew of go with him and Ultra when you do, you
10:12
know, they've sold half Mass. So we do draconians and things
10:15
like that. The other zygons I think of that
10:19
the criminal, wait, when the fellow was like half-plant half
10:22
man, they did make a really what but I think in the 70s they made
10:27
the monster a performance piece as I got in really good actors.
10:33
So I think I think what is he saying?
10:35
I'll do it. Well, the monster shit in the
10:36
80s. Are we more forgiving?
10:38
A of monsters in earlier decades, everyone's like this in
10:41
the 80s is really shit. This is really bad.
10:43
I know, I don't have the Merkur or something.
10:45
They're better designed in the 70s and they're better.
10:48
Acted bar. Okay, now I need to both of us
10:50
to think of two monsters in the 80s that are fantastic, just so
10:55
we're not just slacking it up. Well, I mean, I'm gonna go for
10:57
the obvious the Destroyer, you've forgotten the he mumbles,
11:02
but that's like right at the end, isn't it?
11:03
When I can? Well, I'll say better, the
11:06
ferals, which I learned almost over there.
11:08
Liyan awful. They were really well.
11:10
Designed and what that man in a beard.
11:15
This like a lion. It's a man and the Indian, okay,
11:19
and well, I'll say the 80s. I've met as well of really
11:24
well-designed, you know, oh, from the ones from the Tardis,
11:29
okay. Next question comes from Joe
11:31
short called. Hello, Joe, Eric's a word
11:38
villain Or misunderstood genius. I don't think the words errors
11:43
award and genius belong in the same sentence.
11:46
I know of her Revelation. Adult Lex was a bit of a fluke
11:50
villain Why 10? I'm asking you oh yeah I can't
11:56
stand him. I think he's terrible.
11:57
What do you mean? I think he ruined all those 80
12:00
stories. Are you know my thoughts on
12:01
Eric's a word know. You all want to hear your
12:03
thoughts on Eric's a word. He ruined every story in the
12:07
ain't that he did. His job might dance.
12:11
I don't, I don't think you did his job, alignment, Frontiers.
12:15
Yeah, I know, I know. But when he gets the Collins
12:18
Baker's time, I just don't think he was good enough.
12:23
I think he ate was his fault that everything went wrong.
12:26
I think, I think he is a good ideas, man.
12:30
I don't think he's a good executor.
12:32
So I think if you look at season 20, every story is got a really
12:35
strong idea at the heart of the ship and turbine is exploding
12:38
the universe, the sailing ships in space even like I only got
12:42
taken on the doctors print and and getting them execute on
12:45
Gallifrey. And I, that's all really good.
12:47
Dramatic ideas of just don't think he can always, but produce
12:52
an effect. Active scripts out of those
12:54
ideas and I think when the scripts work in the 80s it's
12:59
generally because the writers that is brought in are competent
13:02
enough to do it and it isn't really much to do with him and I
13:07
think the sort of standard of Eric's award competence is like
13:12
the visitation and that's a pretty basic script.
13:18
That's what I think. So, the super villain of the 80s
13:22
is Eric's a lot. Okay.
13:26
Next question is from James and Friends.
13:31
Hello. James.
13:33
Is he handsome? I can't feel the picture.
13:36
Well, he is handsome. Hello James.
13:38
My telephone number is 079343, and these says, what's the
13:43
campus moment, each doctor has in the 80s, James, why are you
13:46
asking me this question as if I know anything about camporee?
13:51
So what's the campus moment in what?
13:54
For each doctor in the 80s, the campus moment for each doctor.
14:01
Oh, you know, the bit where Colin Baker walks in on messed
14:04
around goes, I'm not having your sluggy eggs all over the
14:07
universe. So Camp.
14:09
I've been waiting to do with my mother that my whole life.
14:12
Of course, I can't moment for Sylvester McCoy.
14:18
He's not very campy, see. We're both gone quiet.
14:27
Oh I know I know I've got one cause of mr.
14:29
McCoy did impression? Well no I was gonna say him
14:31
playing the spoons on Kate Amara.
14:34
Oh, that's very camp in. Yeah, not really seem to enjoy
14:37
it too much. Oh yeah.
14:40
Actually very campfire out Domino Ronnie Falling all over
14:43
the city. As me.
14:44
Do you know I found the bit? It's a bit.
14:46
Wary grabs males, risks and goes, Mel drove up it.
14:52
Okay, Peter Davis. Okay, thanks Barbie camp,
14:55
Willie. He's far too, was his masculine
14:58
but oh no, ya don't you? When you what Twittering me.
15:05
Yeah, when you cancel out. So squeaky voice.
15:07
Oh, it was desirable to do. So you're spoiling my
15:09
concentration. Okay, Jordan find one for Tom
15:12
Baker, in season 18 to be technically 80s.
15:15
Oh my god. Do you want a quick decision or
15:17
at the bank? Let us not count back up top.
15:22
I would never been to camp Woody.
15:24
He's all man Tom Baker. I'll pay an enormous knob.
15:29
Oh my God. Where did that come from?
15:31
Because he's old man in a while back.
15:33
A baby's fist. Oh my God.
15:36
Sorry. Okay, next question is from
15:41
Gavin, Is that muscle Gary? I'm just going to take a break
15:45
because you put pictures of his big muscles on Twitter.
15:49
Gavin keep putting your pictures.
15:51
All right? The mid-80s made me a fan.
15:55
Is that period misunderstood mid-80s.
15:59
What's that mean? Misunderstood is that period
16:02
misunderstood like? Well, I can say is when I first
16:05
started hamster up those 80 stories were literally grabbed
16:09
quicker than the Argos catalog. Like people just It was
16:13
desperate to do. They I got left, I got about 15
16:16
Hinchcliffe steel and about 280 stories left to do.
16:21
He's here misunderstood I think it's very problematic.
16:27
I think the companions are win, gee, I think the stories are hit
16:32
and miss the production values are hit and miss.
16:35
It can be very colorful and a bit kind of, you know, garish
16:39
and on any sort of ugly sort of way, but it can also be
16:44
brilliant as well. It's such a weird era is, I
16:47
think every, every year before, you know, exactly kind of what
16:51
you're gonna get and with the a, he's from one Story to another,
16:55
you never know what you're gonna get and that's in terms of
16:58
quality as well as tone genre. So is it misunderstood probably?
17:06
Because I think some people dismiss it entirely especially
17:08
the tail end McCoy. But I think it is still very
17:13
good if inconsistent, not sure. I wasn't a question.
17:18
Let's have another one from frasor then.
17:20
Oh yes great is it's not marry avoid again.
17:22
And which 80s talk? Story would you gladly lose to
17:26
Ian, Levine skip? So you could bring the missing
17:28
story from the 60s back. Oh my God, any of them though?
17:34
I would can't watch my least favorite.
17:37
Its story. I would gladly lose Arc of
17:40
infinity. It's literally, the squatters
17:44
grave. What's up fellas?
17:46
Say. Oh yeah.
17:48
And in the thing, it looked as quiet as the grave it still go
17:51
on, take your clothes off and it doesn't let you say what I think
17:54
your position. Yeah.
17:59
I think it is basically everything that sort of rock,
18:03
Gallifrey, technobabble continuity, and it's just really
18:09
fucking tedious to watch as well.
18:11
What's replacing it then? What are you getting back from
18:13
the 60s? Or tartar have a shit?
18:15
One back, or a good one, any missing storage mom.
18:17
Hello, please. I'll take seven episodes of
18:19
Marco Polo. Thank you very much.
18:24
This is from Andy Stark and the wood Collins doctor have had a
18:30
better reception. If the twin dilemma had been the
18:33
first story of Season 22 instead of the last story of season 21.
18:39
That's really interesting. What a great question because I
18:45
don't think I don't think the twin dilemmas reputation will be
18:48
held where no matter where is poor bar.
18:52
If it was at the start of the season and it was all those
18:55
stories coming immediately after sort of salvaging, the
18:59
reputation of the Season having like attack of the Cybermen and
19:03
Vengeance of our Arsenal that afterwards.
19:05
Yeah, I think it would help. Actually, I think having that if
19:10
you'll excuse me, turd at the end of season On 21.
19:14
I listened polished heard. I quite like it is fun.
19:17
Do you know what this window Lemma?
19:20
That's all right. Take care.
19:21
Enough to blow their hearts or Minds.
19:25
It would be interesting if it was to 45 minute episodes.
19:28
If it was in that season, that's true with ever even more room
19:32
for character development. If it was 45, minute episodes
19:34
with you were leading up to a cliffhanger every sort of 20
19:37
minutes. Mr. Cliff hangers are terrible
19:40
as well. Yeah, might be bearing two 45s.
19:44
There's it. You destroyed my entire command.
19:47
Now I'm going to destroy you. He was gonna kill me.
19:52
Perry. Perry, it's terrible.
19:57
Next question from Matt Michael. Oh Matt Michael you Dreadful out
20:02
flirt. Go on is only the best master
20:05
know. Delgado is the best master.
20:09
I still think he's the boss Delgado, although I saw that
20:12
somebody put a gift on online saying that Missy think she's
20:17
the best. And I think Nathan popped in and
20:21
said, yeah, Missy is the best as well.
20:23
But I just had a recently, had a conversation with fabulous,
20:27
Lucy, McCall, Daniel night. And Dave Rennie on a planet of
20:30
fire commentary all about English master.
20:33
And, you know, there was some discussion about how he can be a
20:35
bit pantomime. Me and over-the-top, but we all
20:39
agreed that when every turns up the entertainment value is
20:43
through the roof and like, at points, like the end of trial of
20:47
a Time Lords like time fly, if he wasn't in there, will can you
20:53
even imagine? So what was the question again?
20:57
Is he the best master? And I said no, I have been the
21:00
best but you see suppose most of you know is the best master.
21:03
Yeah, I'd say Delgado. Yeah, you just copied me now.
21:08
Mom, who is the beca original? Are there these days are very
21:11
much. Next question, from Darren lit
21:14
roundels. Hello Darrin.
21:16
If anybody hasn't explored lit, roundels YouTube channel.
21:19
I suggest you get your asses over there right now and, you
21:22
know, he's done re scores on the other colics.
21:25
Course, he managed to a battlefield and Paradise, Alice
21:28
sound amazing. Okay.
21:30
A very talented man. And his question who was the
21:33
least successful companion to Out of the 80s.
21:37
Oh, we just in the AC is not big finish, 80s TV TV, only TV only
21:47
okay. Then probably mail even though
21:50
she's really Farm, she's got a room.
21:54
What's what's less than 1? Dimensional half dimensional.
21:59
I mean, she is flat as a shit and, but like Bonnie brings a
22:02
lot of charm and energy and fun. And she's she's giving those
22:07
stories a bit of oomph, but she's working with nothing.
22:11
Like what did she ever do those computer programming?
22:14
What did she ever do this? Linked into that?
22:17
Well, that's because Eric's a word was off at that time.
22:21
Jonathan Turner was it was up to him to create the thing.
22:23
And basically, it was your pip and Jay Ryan.
22:25
And I suppose, when Andrew can't will came in, she didn't really
22:27
change that much. We probably maybe if she'd
22:30
stayed another season, maybe he would have been able to do
22:34
something with the character. But there wasn't really anyone
22:37
on watch from out, maybe that's what it was.
22:39
I would like to add a caveat though that if we were including
22:42
big finish actually Mel would be somewhere near the top and
22:46
Bonnie is phenomenal on audio and you'd probably have to agree
22:51
with me. That Ace is the most successful
22:53
on TV, companion of the 80s. But if we were including big
22:58
finish sheep at the bottom, with your Sophia diesel, could get
23:03
bonuses on audio I'm sorry for excited.
23:07
So filled with moving on. They put a microphone in front
23:10
of her and she forgot how to act next.
23:13
Let's have another one from frasor given the story.
23:17
So cancelled during the Hiatus have been released in some shape
23:22
or form now, did we really miss out on something great or
23:25
degrade? Actually do us a favor are what?
23:29
What Fraser as a matter of pure coincidence.
23:31
I just so happened to watch a documentary of that season 20.
23:35
The missing season 23 this week and which prompted me than to go
23:40
and listen to The Lost stories range from Big finish.
23:45
However, I got to the nightmare fair and that's where it ended.
23:48
So, I think any further than that of the of the three stories
23:53
that we know, we're coming nightmare, Fair mission to
23:55
Magnus and the ultimate Evil. No, we were missing much.
24:01
I think it probably the nightmare Fair wouldn't look
24:03
great. They would have pulled a bit of
24:04
money into that and we did. Add some nice Blackpool filming
24:07
and it would be nice to see the sick doctor and Perry having
24:10
fun. It was going to be directed by
24:12
Matthew Robinson, who directed resurrection and at a
24:16
consignment. So would have been stylish.
24:18
So Fiona coming was going to do the ultimate Evil did she say?
24:22
And then she couldn't do anything without script.
24:24
Have you heard that Audio? Oh are there?
24:26
No I can't stand. The audio versions of those that
24:29
is right that the end of episodes long then I didn't edit
24:34
them at all. So Just real know they're
24:36
supposed to be authentic and take by, I put a razor breast
24:40
razor blade to my wrist. This will be the end of extra
24:43
one ourselves. Like this gets any worse.
24:45
I'm doing it. All right, that's authentic.
24:48
And there's a reason why they lost.
24:49
Yeah, but can I say as a caveat, again, I know, I talk about big
24:55
finish a lot, but big finish pulled some probably obscure
25:00
stories out of the mix like point of entry and Nathan and
25:08
song of the space whale, which I thought was great.
25:11
Why you looking like they changed the name to the name?
25:13
That gets the truck and we get tree and the Beast below, they
25:16
couldn't use space whale tractate as one.
25:18
That's the time, worse all the time.
25:19
It's terrible about the good ones.
25:21
All right. Yeah, point of entry.
25:23
The first sontarans guardians of Prophecy, like how they suggest
25:28
are lost stories because they were like a one-page synopsis is
25:31
beyond me. But those stories are are being
25:34
brought to life by great big. Friar's.
25:36
And, you know, they are, they are ideas that were mooted at
25:39
the time. Well, it's funny that that
25:42
season and around that time, the 80s is all these half-finished
25:47
scripts, or it only got so far. They couldn't decide or
25:50
whatever. You go back to the 70s return
25:52
sticks. There's hardly any loss stories
25:55
around them. There was, this is me about the
25:57
mega, but all of them feel struttin.
26:00
There's a few but it's just funny around Eric's a wouldst.
26:02
I'm just saying that just seems to be all these locks ha
26:05
Half-finished, scripts and half. We're not sure we're doing all.
26:09
This doesn't work. We're starting again.
26:10
Do you know? I know I think that shows I
26:12
think that's telling I am going to be bold enough to suggest
26:15
that Terrance dicks because he says in an interview and
26:18
commentaries that if a script wasn't working, he'd say, he'd
26:21
pay off the ricer and say, right, I'll make it work and
26:24
him. He would do a top to toe.
26:26
Rewrite outer Ferris. Ward.
26:28
Had that in him. When I, that's what I'm saying.
26:29
Yeah, Eric's they would be like, I'm gonna go and write something
26:32
else will go on holiday or whatever.
26:34
Actually said was I think Doctor Who's a really hard program to
26:38
write for but now people are fucking PJ Hammond.
26:41
Do you know Sapphire and steel Ryan for dogs?
26:44
Are you and saying that those scripts?
26:45
Weren't up to scratch? Yeah, it's very odd choices.
26:49
In a villain of the era. Next question is from Tom
26:53
Newsome at. We saw Tom this weekend as
26:56
welding way, he says, who would be your pick for casting?
26:59
A doctor in the 80s. Oh my God, that's so tough Rik.
27:05
Mayall Fail. And you know why?
27:07
Is because if someone has suggested that, until I saw him
27:11
and Jonathan Creek, I would have said bullshit.
27:14
Like all I all I really remember him from his bottom.
27:17
And then I saw his performance in that and he's basically, he's
27:20
a detective playing up against Jonathan Creek, boy.
27:24
A boy. He was so sexy and smart, and he
27:28
was basically the doctor. So I'm going to.
27:30
Yeah. And I think he would have been a
27:32
little bit sort of anarchic and chaotic as well.
27:35
So, so yeah, Rik Mayall and Johnny Morris asks, what does
27:42
Doctor Who tell us about life in the 1980s?
27:46
Oh my yeah, that's the one. He's a fabulous, big finish,
27:51
Royal. That's why I think it certainly
27:54
tells us in the mid-80s that it was a very violent confusing
27:59
place that actually was looking back at the past, quite a lot.
28:04
And I think that a lot of that was going on in the 80s.
28:06
Actually, I think it tells us that I don't even know on the
28:13
right person to answer my questions.
28:15
You know, I don't really know much about sort of the politics
28:18
of the time. I know they're leaning into sort
28:21
of the video nasties, aren't they?
28:23
In the mid-80s? It certainly tells us a lot
28:28
about the BBC politics at the time.
28:31
They weren't interested in science fiction.
28:35
Yeah, I've got that. I've got the part that one.
28:37
I'm afraid and I might have that overall General Johnny.
28:40
I'll ask that. To Gary Russell, who's coming on
28:43
to do the enlightenment commentary.
28:44
I'm sure he'll be a to give me a smile.
28:46
So, for that one, and it's question from Brandon Jones,
28:50
Brenda. Have you seen him lately?
28:53
It's been going down the tomb. All the savings.
28:56
Absolutely. He's wearing these tight little
28:58
leotards and the gym. He looks amazing.
29:01
Anyway. Sorry God.
29:03
Which 80s. Doctor had the most consistent
29:05
era in the DECA era. You had the most consistently
29:12
around. Yeah.
29:13
And for the fourth doctor, you've only got season 18 if
29:17
you're including that says, well, I'd say it's that season
29:20
because the fourth doctor. Yeah, but that's, that's not
29:23
fair on the size, one year. Okay.
29:27
If you want to say one season, who's the most consistent?
29:30
Oh yeah. I'll say maybe Season. 22.
29:32
It's violent and okay. Five, six, seven, seven.
29:36
Do you know why it's Carmel and cartmell?
29:39
He had a plan folks here at the car.
29:41
Carmel master plan Asus after Gallifrey but we got to get her
29:44
there first. No, I think I think he had a
29:48
consistent tone and vision for the show.
29:52
He wanted to make it a bit more urban about real characters.
29:56
He wanted to ditch the concert or not have as much continuity
30:02
and do Original Stories. And I think he sort of leaned
30:05
into that whole like big bold comic, Book ideas approach,
30:12
think of paradise Towers Delta and the bannermen happiness
30:15
Patrol, but there's this they would work as Comics, you know,
30:19
just visually they would work really well with Comics.
30:22
So I'm going to say the Andrew can't be clearer.
30:26
The least consistent is the area toward era across five and six,
30:31
but we've discussed that already sort of linked to this.
30:33
So this is from Simon heart. Who Simon hard is that Isn't
30:40
that tall bloke. We saw the other day, they
30:45
Davison buddy, Colonel McCoy Davison David.
30:52
Some bacon McCoy, which is their strongest season each and why,
30:57
what do you think? Strongest season. 21 that 22 and
31:06
26. I might say 1900 re-time flight,
31:15
I know but there's always one ship one in each season.
31:18
Are you talking favor or best? And I think best, I think that
31:22
first series especially, which is quite good is that your
31:24
favorite as well? Not necessarily, okay, 20. 22
31:34
and yeah 26 here. So every we don't favor it, I
31:37
would say 21 because it's got Frontier sky and razani and
31:45
resurrection of the Daleks all which I mean like 22, which I
31:49
just really love. And 24 is my favorite McCoy
31:54
year. Not strong, though.
31:55
Unapologetically I think it's campers Christmas.
32:01
Would free 47. Well, please have your credits
32:04
ready and doctor doctor. I haven't won anything before.
32:09
What is? That is melon Seventh Doctor
32:12
from Delta and the bannermen I suppose this time Thomas should
32:16
be going time that I left. You should do some Target
32:19
readings. You know, you're wasted read by
32:27
John Ford a time and the Rani, right?
32:31
Bye. By Joe Ford's tumultuous
32:34
buffeting Force, the doctor off his exercise bike.
32:38
This is all doable. He's a cow.
32:41
That's that, man. I once they're gonna Marla
32:43
bartra, audible can touch. All right, I'm here.
32:50
Okay, next question from Jack Koya.
32:53
I'll check where all can I just say, j.r. promise you.
32:56
I will be in touch about this war games, commentary soon, all
32:58
right. If you could take one, Is a
33:02
Tardis team and put them into one of the new Who series which
33:06
team would you pig and what stories would you give them?
33:10
I would want Egan in there. So it's got a beer Tegan team
33:13
because new Teigen. Now, Janet field has got a sense
33:16
of humor is fabulous. So I'm going to say the fifth,
33:21
doctor Tegan and turlough. I think you could probably do
33:25
something quite interesting with a younger dog sigh.
33:27
So basically a bib will be, Matt Smith, wouldn't it?
33:31
It's the young, the old man in the young man's body and then
33:35
I'd have Tegan with a sense of humor because Chinese filled, it
33:39
is hilarious. Yes.
33:41
And I think you could probably do turlough justice now to have
33:45
this sort of morally complex and sometimes slightly evil when a
33:50
hot Ginger sort of way character.
33:53
So what story you're going to put them in?
33:56
I'm sorry. What script would you give these
33:59
are complex questions, aren't they?
34:00
Well, of course, I would absolutely love to have taken in
34:06
unicorn under wasp. What if you thinking, you could
34:10
replace the doctor, Amy, and Rory, and put in the Fifth
34:14
Doctor, Tegan and turlough in Story.
34:17
The girl, who waited with Tegan much, though.
34:22
We're gonna just for something, even better.
34:24
Imagine, six, dr. A In Flatline okay, Perry doing
34:28
all the bits. Like that's her, you're so small
34:31
and that Tardis. So I think for the sick duck
34:33
from Perry would be before the flood and under the lake.
34:36
I think that would work with them too.
34:39
Yeah, I got in that she can get the cards out.
34:42
Yay. Come on, doctor.
34:43
I think it would be perfect. You can just pluck them out and
34:46
put that in color black. Oh Perry.
34:49
I'm so sorry for your loss of. He's she or whatever.
34:52
Imagine that Cliffhanger with the doctor underwater. and if
34:56
they are, And Perry.
35:29
When he makes he makes a go inside the Dalek and stuff.
35:32
I'll be funny with Nathan, alternatively, I would put false
35:36
Doctrine adric in World enough and time just so addressed as a
35:42
massive old blown through his chest and you'd have only Master
35:46
there instead of Missy. Yeah, yeah, McCoy really well,
35:49
it goes really far from. Look, we were watching all those
35:53
new series episodes in the randomizer.
35:55
Yeah. And every single one with
35:56
regarding which classic doctor and Aliens would work in this,
36:01
which is a really fun one, throw away.
36:02
But to be honest, I do imagine that most of the time when I'm
36:04
watching you series episode I'm glad you said that.
36:07
When were you imagine that during those moments I'll
36:11
squeeze gauge is going to say something else said I think that
36:14
Christopher Eccleston series just swap out and put first up
36:17
from dodo in the whole thing. Take outro wait.
36:29
You were fantastic. Did your hair dryer Shadowhunter
36:32
in first Doctrine? Dodo in doomsday.
36:35
My child. I'm burning up a star just to
36:37
say goodbye work perfectly for dr.
36:41
All of you run this game. Jack Koya.
36:53
Oh, Jack, you're a genius. Question is from Secret
36:56
Squirrel. Squirrel.
37:03
If one 1980 story has to be missing from the archives.
37:06
Which one should it be missing? Yeah, we've done this already
37:10
way that I got choose enough one now and I because the same
37:13
question are probably say, I can't take out time lash, I'm
37:19
sorry, some people depart with a scream.
37:24
What do you take out Ahsoka Arc of infinity?
37:26
That's been missing for the archive.
37:28
Yeah. If we could have tell us naps,
37:33
just get rid of time flight, your good work, Estella snaps.
37:37
So it snaps on the audio recording bit perfectly.
37:40
People have to look at all that perfect perspective shot that
37:43
guy. Does that work?
37:45
I'm not sure that works. Just the same way we sort of
37:47
squint at Marco Polo's like tell us that was going.
37:51
That's there's plain of Premier does that.
37:53
Does that look like a desert? Okay.
37:56
Next question is from rod. Who-who's rod, who under School
38:01
rod, rod, who did the show, come off the rails in the 80s and
38:06
therefore, was there some legitimacy in retooling?
38:12
Could there have been another way.
38:15
Oh, his friend in a Warriors of the deep quote there.
38:18
Jason Miller would be proud. Did he come off the rails in the
38:23
80s? Do you think it would have been
38:27
canceled? You've Michael Graydon, Jonathan
38:29
Powell, hadn't taken control the BBC or do you think it would
38:33
just run because the fellow before that who was running, it
38:36
was the controller. He was happy for it to just run
38:38
and he had a lot of faith in John nathan-turner.
38:41
So I think it probably would have just run.
38:43
I do is I do think in in the rising it came off the rails
38:48
about and that's where you got to start.
38:50
Like, it's got to be a good script.
38:52
That's why I say if every say would haven't stayed around so
38:54
long. You know, it's a new script
38:55
editor for a new doctor in. Colin Baker, claimed Eric's a
38:59
wood for every night. I'm sorry, Omar if I know, but I
39:03
just documentaries and stuff, I'm like, they had the Hiatus.
39:08
He's like, oh, looking get the scripts that can get the
39:10
scripts, and people can write you had 18 months, you would
39:12
have been on holiday and done fuck-all.
39:15
You've had 18 months, and you put together trial, but I'm a
39:17
little sorry, are they real? They were turning it into our
39:20
fucking therapy session. In 18 months and you just and
39:28
you hadn't even finished that season before they started
39:30
shooting, they're not the ending done.
39:33
You had 18 months and you've been paid that whole time as
39:36
well. I was going to suggest using
39:37
Eric's towards a safe word but it's actually very angry.
39:42
Okay. Yeah.
39:43
I say it probably did come off the rails a bit but I think it
39:47
got back on the rails in Sylvester McCoy are in terms of
39:51
the writing and the imagination and creativity.
39:55
So really had a bit of a Renaissance in those last couple
39:57
years, but it was too little too late.
40:00
As far as Michael Graves was concerned.
40:01
He says in the Blu-ray, he thought it was cancelled after
40:04
Colin Baker with if forgotten all the bats of mr.
40:06
McCoy. It's like oh, did we make more
40:08
series? So yeah.
40:11
Yeah. The proof is in the pudding and
40:13
the puddings Andrew cartmel. It's got a big ego and a it
40:18
keeps making you buy books anyway.
40:21
Next question is from, Simon catcher.
40:25
I'll summon that women London, where you can I just say, right?
40:28
Anybody people casting, but I think he's on fire for entirety
40:33
time of catheral. Anyway, we met him in London and
40:36
by this man, could Spin A Yarn. Oh man, I was in, fits listening
40:39
to him and his boyfriend was cute as hell.
40:42
Whiny, of sorry, I'm telling everyone about it was personal
40:45
lives now. It's okay.
40:47
So, he asks, how does the sixth doctor escape the heavy
40:51
machinery? Swung at him in Mark of the
40:53
Rani, you see his Feet. Leave the ground but then how
40:57
and why does his Tardis key open?
40:58
The rani's Tardis. I'll just do one other time.
41:00
Okay? Why peripheral vision explains
41:04
it in the script. Okay.
41:07
And why does his Tardis key open?
41:09
The rani's Tardis. Oh that's a design.
41:12
Flaw they realized that all keys opened all tardises.
41:16
That's why there was a sort of far sequence where the monk was
41:19
in the rani's Tardis. The master was in the doctors
41:21
Tardis, it all got a bit confusing and why is the Masters
41:25
Tardis interior? The same as the doctors only
41:28
black, isn't it? Why do they do that?
41:32
It's like, he's advertising the fact that he's evil.
41:35
Why would you do that? Looks better in Black though.
41:38
Do you think why would you add? It's not the Cybermen, put that
41:42
massive pictures of their face everywhere.
41:45
Why did you advertise it? That's why the Egyptians isn't
41:48
it? I think that was the
41:48
inspiration. Okay anyway, all right, well
41:51
let's pack this place pink though because I'm pretty Camp.
41:55
Next question is from Joe. Lewallen also what lewallen that
42:02
sure Welland. Llewellyn Llewellyn.
42:04
Oh yeah. Sorry while it.
42:06
I don't know. I've just said it the wrong way.
42:09
Irish Welsh Joe? I'm so sorry.
42:12
No, series American. I think it's Llewellyn.
42:14
He's American, that's why I went to Allah.
42:16
And let's do this. I'm going to answer this an
42:18
American accent. Let's go if there was a season
42:20
27 and 28 with the show continued its Renaissance, or
42:24
with the BBC. Apathy and J&T burnout overcome
42:29
cartmell, and his brand of Young Writers efforts to revive the
42:33
show. Show wild y'all.
42:35
This is my thoughts on this. If you go lessons that I was big
42:38
finish season, 27, adios, there, I've terrible now.
42:42
They are really bad but I don't think that's actually what would
42:45
have transpired at the time would have been really nice to
42:48
have seen a skit written out. It would have been lovely to
42:52
have that safe safe braking scene with rain inside and she
42:57
would have been played by Bloody Beth charm as I've it would.
42:59
She think goodness, you think I'm Julie swallow would have
43:02
been a great She would be perfect.
43:05
She was very McCready. Yeah.
43:07
She writing a brilliant Robinson.
43:10
I don't know how she's my Star Trek Voyager.
43:12
Is Frank Reed, isn't it? Yeah.
43:14
No, I don't think so. I think the series of Riding
43:16
High in 26, wasn't it? And so, I think it would have
43:19
probably there would have been a point where I wanted would have
43:22
tipped over, I think, but as Mark, and I have lamented on
43:27
many podcasts, we were denied, our 90s Doctor Who it would
43:33
have. All been like, dimensions in
43:35
time and TV movie and we would have been so happy.
43:38
Now, it would have been that bugs and try and crime traveler,
43:41
it would have been kind of a bit glossier.
43:43
The 90s was the period where they really learn how to start
43:46
making TV Jonathan Creek. Good.
43:49
Yeah. Get very to Lambert back to
43:51
produce, you know, in the 90s she met Jonathan Creek in those
43:55
looks amazing. I think they would have had a
43:57
couple of really strong years. So, no, I never you would have
44:01
got down here. Next question from John bin
44:05
Saleh that's been salyer salyer. Sorry.
44:10
Your favorite and least favorite Ott or hammy 1980s performance
44:15
and why favorite and least favorite dual?
44:18
Favorite least, you know TT or how many you know much about
44:21
that if I'm not list. Who's really Ott in the 80s what
44:26
Ken dolls? He's about to watch that scene
44:29
of him dying once more favorite or least favorite.
44:33
Okay? The virus Ott performers in is
44:36
I'll be back to collect the rubbish later.
44:40
The Crackdown Richard briers from Paradise Towers?
44:44
That's one of my least favorite. My favorite from the 80s you see
44:49
and see a lie. I will help myself to ear.
44:53
Mmm mortality, he's pretty great.
44:59
Who's your favorite favorite performance?
45:06
Performance. Oh my god.
45:08
Without my least. Favorite is the only as car lead
45:13
share Ram. Sharam.
45:15
No. That's definitely the least
45:17
favorite, okay? He put images of as the McCoy
45:28
But you can't bake. See if I read I should want to
45:31
call. I cash a check.
45:34
I know it's not Ott major but it's still it's going there,
45:40
isn't it? But it's still good.
45:41
Even bout time up on a lever Mi can when I could Feast my eyes
45:47
Beauty. Next question, skipped, over
45:51
that pretty quick, it comes from Mel, from Rob of hello malsum
45:58
Season 22 received complaints regarding the level of violence.
46:02
It contained. Do you feel that violence had
46:04
already increased in season 21? Oh, yeah.
46:08
Well worries worries that a deep has a massacre in it.
46:12
So does Resurrection of the Daleks and caves of androzani
46:15
face a Tegan. He's drowned.
46:18
I'm sorry that my redeemer who is pretty violent.
46:24
He gets shot over into the yard round in two seconds though.
46:28
Well, I always figured maybe the cold of the water was so cold
46:32
that he just instantly died. It was it mocks Creek some being
46:36
a ham? Yeah, it's very quick.
46:39
He makes his mind up very quickly, but yeah.
46:41
So I think the violence that actually starts in the five,
46:44
doctors with the Cyber Massacre. Well, maybe even enough shock of
46:49
shocks the first, which of really like loss of shooting
46:52
lots of people dying and it works then case of retire and
46:57
resign he comes around Russian. Yeah and people love them
47:00
though, they Resurrection was laptop at the time highest
47:02
ratings for the year Kaiser and Regina was Massively popular.
47:06
So you can see why they went. Maybe there's something in this
47:08
and it's just murder a bunch of people.
47:10
Let's not tell a story. Let's just turn the show into
47:12
Reservoir Dogs. Mmm, did it work?
47:16
Hmm. No, I don't think so.
47:19
But all of our I would like to say some of those deaths in the
47:23
Season. 22, like I absolutely love it when your car gets
47:28
chloroformed and I adore all the deaths in Revelation of the
47:33
Daleks. Was it, what a pretty little
47:35
box? What does it do?
47:37
You know, bit where Cara dies? You before me knife goes
47:41
straight in her tummy. Yeah, some of those deaths are
47:43
great. So I'm a bit like Toby.
47:46
Hey I didn't really objective the violence at the time because
47:49
that's a kid when I first watched those vhss man.
47:52
Oh man, I was lapping it up like Justina laughing up.
47:55
Colin Baker's Blood on the floor.
47:57
Has a that understand your fear. But but in retrospect, is it
48:09
really where the show should be going?
48:11
My favorite is the grain Williams era, Which is far less
48:14
violent, and more wind to calm And smarter for it as the
48:18
fabulous Sarah to from to or two areas discovering.
48:22
So to conclude, good job. Eric say a word good job.
48:26
Are you kidding me? Be sarcastic next, Daniel night,
48:32
best eighties companion and favorite 80s companion.
48:37
He said to me in that last podcast will not to me to all of
48:40
us that nobody had ever called him handsome before.
48:43
He's a very handsome man and say, so I was And best eighties
48:48
companion and favorite if they're not if they're
48:51
different. But the same the best is
48:54
probably Ace in terms of character development and
48:59
ability to attract hot men like Mike from remembrance of the
49:04
Daleks and Sauron from her phone rigged to more fuckable men in
49:07
Doctor Who you will. Not me and your favorite What is
49:18
a male? Our favorite 80s companion.
49:22
Love now. Oh no.
49:23
Ok fine. I'll say it s Ramona, she's in
49:26
the season. She's in my top three
49:29
companions. Wow.
49:31
Yeah. Okay this one is from James
49:35
h-hello. James H, what the hell was
49:38
Michael Holt thinking when he wrote the weird quiz book type,
49:43
Things about magic space science.
49:45
Etc it with another what that though there were those J&T
49:50
cashion's. Oh right?
49:52
Yeah, Peter Davidson's book of weird planets you know, and
49:57
other places and things like that.
50:00
I think they were just trying to make a bit of Dosh and they
50:04
succeeded because that the time Doctor Who fans just bought
50:07
anything. But I mean at the time they're
50:09
do it now. Okay, I've got another question
50:12
from Simon casserole again. Okay.
50:14
So I would hello. Where did they put the bodies of
50:16
those shot dead inside the TARDIS.
50:20
Who shot on the Tardis was loads of people wasn't there
50:23
throughout the 80s. Everyone's in a leotard, is more
50:25
than a, you know, the off Harmony at the heart of the
50:27
TARDIS has been like a furnace that just shut the body's in
50:30
there. I think there's a few five men
50:32
hanging about in there as well. You know, from as sideman.
50:36
Okay, from Kev blower, do you know what were they like that?
50:43
You better be bloody good at giving a BJ and he did J&T have
50:49
less creative input than any of his predecessors such as unlike
50:55
sorry. Could you say that again?
50:57
Did Jane T have less creative input than any of his
51:00
predecessors, unlike Barry Philip Graham.
51:03
Not sure what his vision was. Left to the various script.
51:07
Editors. Yes, we know that he was
51:10
jet-setting off to conventions, having a great time, being
51:12
lauded said, I Heavens every single script editor.
51:17
That's Chris phrase bid me Derek's award and Andrew cartmel
51:21
said that Jonathan Turner did not understand storytelling.
51:24
He could produce the show. He could put the money on the
51:27
screen, he didn't understand it and I think he had ideas whether
51:33
they were workable ones, who Uno's, and, you know, I want to
51:37
do this, and I want to do this, and this will appeal to the
51:39
fans, and this appeals to me, and probably Gary down.
51:42
He whispered something in his ear as about, you know, the way
51:45
you really happy. You're so low that, you know,
51:47
like, I think I think he came sometimes would like a shopping
51:50
list of ingredients. He wanted the show to go in a
51:54
certain direction at times Perry, leave Perry joining Toto.
51:57
Leaving the master in here blah blah.
52:00
Did he have any creative input? Too much, I think.
52:04
And I don't think he really was equipped to give it London.
52:12
Calling asks, I mean, you've already answered this but who
52:17
gave the greatest performance in the 80s and but he's put and why
52:22
is it Simon roofs as hindle. So what are your thoughts on
52:25
that performance? A fantastic.
52:28
Really starving. And you know what really
52:30
disturbs me about that? Promise is very childlike.
52:33
Like its childlike Tantrums anyway he starts going mommy,
52:37
put the lights on, it's really really scary who gets the best
52:44
guest performers. I don't think it is so aroused,
52:47
you know, but I do think there are some really serious
52:50
contenders. Obviously, Jenny Thomas him in
52:54
Revelation of the Daleks is out there.
52:58
I think there's some fantastic guest performances in travel
53:02
time. Lord, you know, Linda Ellingham
53:03
Michael jstand, the McCoy era Jean Marsh, you know, the very
53:15
best. So the very best.
53:17
See, like in Kinder, I'd suggest that there is Hughes, is as good
53:23
as famine drought in a very understated way.
53:26
Are the entire cast of snake dance?
53:29
There you go. That's my answer.
53:31
I think there is some top drawer.
53:33
Acting in snake dance. Dr. Nigel Fletcher, dr.
53:38
Nigel Fletcher, apparently. So we have prescription doctor,
53:42
what's J&T style stunt casting of guest stars.
53:46
Do you wish we'd had, some of his are super Pollard.
53:51
Patricia Routledge, Kenneth Williams, June Brown and Judi
53:55
Dench to Europe, the soup. And in that murder-mystery show,
53:58
there's been another murder. I've just made the desert and
54:07
his face. He's in it.
54:08
I'm sorry. Patricia Rutledge is one of
54:10
mine. You know, I'd love to have seen
54:12
her in Doctor Who I shouldn't him super loud as The
54:14
Inquisitor. My buddy stand up.
54:17
Now, do you think accused of genocide Would have been amazing
54:32
to be in the 80s during Brett's Sherlock Holmes.
54:36
From the said oh yeah Richard Griffiths who was mooted as I
54:43
let potential artist mr. McCoy doctor would have been
54:46
great in it. I loved her seen French and
54:48
Saunders and his son constant. They would have been amazing.
54:52
You get Patricia roundish. We be my number one, you know,
54:57
because she's very very funny as I think bouquet, you go and
55:01
watch her and he waiting for up and she'll break your heart.
55:04
She's such a seriously, good actor, J.
55:07
And T always went on about Patricia are outage, when he was
55:11
talking about stunt casting, and bringing in comedy actors, and
55:15
he would move while look up a treasure outage.
55:17
Why the fuck didn't you get her in then?
55:19
She's amazing. Yeah, I think that's a bit more
55:23
top ones. Let's do one more showing.
55:27
Okay, that's fine. Make it good.
55:29
This is from James Sylvester. How might the Cartman Terror
55:36
have developed if Colin Baker had continued as the doctor I'm
55:41
at until I was able to make that in a recent commentary.
55:44
I said, how interested with that, been a kind of Baker.
55:46
I've been in season two when he would could have been as he's
55:49
24. It's still very garish and
55:51
colorful and a bit silly. I think.
55:55
Imagine kind of a secret paradise hours.
55:57
He could absolutely do that. He's as colorful as the rest of
56:01
the story. I think it would be really
56:05
interesting. And as some McCoy's, character
56:09
got darker, I've loved her seen Colin Baker, go down that route
56:12
and get some like, serious understated acting as your name
56:17
in Battlefield. Mighty have to do it now.
56:23
Ace I wanted you and Cho young man.
56:28
Well, I get to the bottom of this again Magic Man.
56:36
I think he would have been brilliant.
56:37
I've been calling back as a fantastic actor.
56:39
Imagine Colin Baker up against the black garlic in remembrance
56:42
of the dollar as you would have. He and he would have brought it
56:44
down for that as well. Yeah, but you think of the
56:46
moments in Colin Baker's times, like, even when you goes
56:49
planets, come and go Stars Parish, you killed Perry, like
56:54
he can bring it down, so he could play it.
56:56
I think way to be no more over the top than McCoy.
57:00
No, no. Unlimited rice pudding.
57:03
D. Well folks that's our also I'm
57:09
bringing it to an end. What I've only got a couple of.
57:11
Yeah I thought that was only like one bit of the thread on
57:13
here. There's tons more.
57:14
Well don't you worry folks, we'll be back for part two of
57:17
the 80s QA when we're less tight, we've got more energy but
57:23
I hope you enjoyed round one. D.
57:07
Well folks that's our also I'm bringing it to an end.
57:10
What I've only got a couple of. Yeah I thought that was only
57:12
like one bit of the thread on here.
57:13
There's tons more. Well don't you worry folks,
57:15
we'll be back for part two of the 80s QA when we're less
57:19
tight, we've got more energy but I hope you enjoyed round one.
