Commentaries recorded...

[Logo Polish]

...for The Deadly Assassin (Tom Baker, Bernard Horsfall and Philip Hinchcliffe)

and Image of the Fendahl (Tom Baker and Louise Jameson)

according to some people on Digital Spy and Roobarbs at least.

Obviously even if it got confirmed this wouldn't necessarily mean a release of either story is guaranteed in the near future.

[Jonno]

Two excellent stories there - no complaints from this quarter!

[Pip Madeley]

I'm glad to see that Tom's being doing a lot of commentaries nowadays. I watched 'The Armageddon Factor with commentary earlier, and he was on fine form, helped no doubt by having John Leeson & Mary Tamm with him. Maybe he's doing them for the money, but I'd like to think he's enjoying doing them and seeing old friends again. He was very nice about Lalla too... it'd be nice to see him reunited with Lalla for one, though perhaps I'm wishing for too much.

[Captain Tancredi]

My impression from the recent documentaries (as I'm usually watching on my exercise bike I tend not to have the commentary on) is that having exhausted his stock of amusing stories, he's getting better at- or perhaps finding it easier to- stay on the subject and talk about what's in front of him and the recollections that it triggers.

[Pip Madeley]

Equally he's just as great when he goes off at a tangent like he does during episode 2 of 'Armageddon', talking about Shakespeare. But it's reassuring to hear his anecdote about being mistaken for Claire Raynor/June Whitfield/Ken Russell etc.

[Si Hunt]

Pretty obvious that "Assassin" won't be a long time away from release.

Si.

[Pip Madeley]

Really? Tell me more.

[Dave Tudor]

I just love the way he seems to take joy in someone's death ("Ah, he's dead now!") or that his wife likes to avoid him ("Ah, even my wife crosses the road to avoid me!") or somesuch. He's a genius!

[Si Hunt]

Really? Tell me more.

Sorry, I didn't mean anything more sinister than: because it's such a pivotal, popular and well known tale it's not likely to take them long to schedule it.

Si.

[Jonno]

Plus we have the Master on Gallifrey, both of which would be of interest to the newer audience.

[Martin Penny]

Terry Molloys done an 'Attack of the Cybermen' commentary, so he said in his blog!

Apparently there's also been one for Mawdryn Undead recorded, with Mark Strickson, Nicholas Courtney and Eric Saward.

[Pip Madeley]

Mark Strickson

Hurrah!

[Perry Vale]

Why are we not hearing about any commentaries for 60s stories being recorded?!

Just to add another.....

Commentary by Steve Gallagher, presumably either for Warriors Gate or Terminus.

Most likely Terminus, I guess.

[Antony Cox]

I think another reason why Tom's doing more commentaries now is that he's back living in the UK again (or at least will be soon if he isn't already).

The Black Guardian trilogy box set next year, perhaps....?

And would the 'Enlightenment' commentary include a Lynda Baron/Keith Barron double-whammy!?

Or triple fun with Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee John?

[Si Hunt]

Out of interest, why more likely "Terminus"? Either way it's a box set!

perhaps they might be having a problem of finding any body who is not dead.


as for commentaries that are rumoured to or have been done I never pay any attention to them as they don't really have any baring on if that story is to be released.

[Andrew Curnow]

If that rumour about Mawdyn Undead is true, then it's good to hear Mark Strickson is involved, but very disappointing that Peter & Janet aren't!

He's probably listened to the Resurrection commentary.....

Just because, I suppose, coupled with the Mawdryn commentary, and it's a Black Guardian trilogy which will follow on nicely from KtT. I could be wrong though.

[P-Bal]

The commentary for Image Of The Fendahl is actually Thomas Stewart Baker with Dames Louise Jameson and Wanda Ventham, and Lou's heart-shaped pendant.

[Perry Vale]

From OG.....

met Peter Purves at the Journey Through Eternity (think I got that right) in Gloucster yesterday and he said he'd only recorded the comentary for the Time Meddler last week! guess that means it won't be out 'til about 2015 then...

At last, some (non-VidFIRED ??) monochrome!!

[Si Hunt]

Was that the story which was on the schedules but delayed because they couldn't arrange dates with commentary people? Hopefully it will come out now Purves has cleared a window in his hectic schedule.

Si.

[Dirk Gently]

I like The Time Meddler* & I'd like to see this sooner rather than later.




Or as my original typo, "The Tim Meddler!".
