Delta and The Bannermen - Back from The 50's NOW!

**Si Hunt** · 21st Jun 2009, 5:02 PM

Ah well.

If you ask me in this story, the Doctor has got a bloody cheek. "Excuse me, do you keep honey here?" he asks Goronwry. Nice of him to be so polite, especially when what he really means is "Excuse me, can I use your house as a trap, have all the windows shot in, and totally destroy the shed full of honey which you've been carefully assembling over the last 30 years?"

Si.

Suddenly, the notion of seeing a feature-film of the Time War is made more appealing - the image of a crack team of Chronotis, Garonwy, and Drax leading the assault on Dalek HQ is irrestible.

As for the credits... without the RT forum I suspect these mistakes may not get picked over quite so much, but I think by now they should just give up remaking the titles (why do they bother anyway?!) and leave them as is. They might not look pristine but at least they'd be bloody right!

Don't forget Azmael, Kelner, Engin and Spandrell single-handedly defending Gallifrey from the Deathsmiths of Goth!

Perhaps Goronwry was "called up" in the Time War. Ditto Professor Chronotis, and both were killed.

His TARDIS could have been a beehive.

Not likely for Professor Chronotis as he was living in hiding, and the Time Lords didn't know of him. As Garonwy may also have been, if you go along with the theory.

Although I tend to view the whole concept of the Time War as a load of boring old toot anyway, so tend not to think about it much.

They remake the titles even for Sylvester McCoy stories?!?! I'm glad I don't bother buying these things

**Larry** · 25th Jun 2009, 5:01 PM

well I think I must be going mad I've just been to Sainsbury and decided to buy this release..

**Si Hunt** · 25th Jun 2009, 5:34 PM

I know what you mean Larry - I feel the same about owning cack like "Pyramids of Mars" and "Planet of Evil"

Si.

I do have a confesion to make for years I have honestly thought this was actualy called Delta and the Bannanamen..

**Rob McCow** · 25th Jun 2009, 8:12 PM

Ah, Bananman! Always ready for the call to action. Now that would have been a three parter that would have sunk the show like a banana coloured torpedo.

**Simon R** · 25th Jun 2009, 9:06 PM

When it was on back in 1987 and I saw the title for the first time when the first episode was on I thought it said "Bananamen" too. I was only 6 though in my defence.

**Si Hunt** · 25th Jun 2009, 9:33 PM

I remember on first broadcast, viewing from in my crib, and thinking it looked like a strange one.

Si.

**P-Bal** · 25th Jun 2009, 9:37 PM

I remember watching it and thinking part two was far inferior to Assassin at Peking.

**Rob McCow** · 26th Jun 2009, 8:35 AM

I remember on first broadcast how scary the cliffhanger to part one was. It would be almost twenty years before I saw part two for the first time!

**SiHart** · 26th Jun 2009, 8:36 AM

You were a very timid child weren't you?

He only came out of nappies last week.

**P-Bal** · 26th Jun 2009, 8:19 PM

I only came out last week.

**Rob McCow** · 26th Jun 2009, 10:19 PM

Came out... but as what?

**P-Bal** · 27th Jun 2009, 12:04 AM

Well of ginger pop.

**Stuart Wallis** · 27th Jun 2009, 3:28 PM

I saw him getting out of a dustbin. He was in there for Children In Need, naturally. I was in the bin next door, looking for gags - it's amazing what Barry Cryer throws out. It's frightening the sort of material he keeps!

Had to laugh at Hugh Lloyd's observation that JNT was one of the best pantomine producers he'd ever worked with.

**Terileptil** · 8th Jul 2009, 11:03 PM

My local Who DVD outlet, Borders, has recently stopped selling Doctor Who DVDs due to sales being, er, up the river without a paddle. (Or, more bluntly, crappy...) Ugh... Sometimes I wish I lived in the UK... Hopefully Barnes & Noble will carry it, as I really want a season 24 story.

**Rob McCow** · 9th Jul 2009, 8:22 AM

If you can't find them in Borders, is it possible to pick them up via mail order? Or is that far more expensive?

Seems totally understandable on this particular thread

For most McCoy stories I would agree with Ralph, but I actually quite like this one...
