What Who Are You Currently Watching? - Goes Fourth.

[Leah Betts]

They are planning to create Four/Adric audios - I think there is already a published short story from years back in the Traken/Logopolis gap.


At the end of State of Decay, the Doctor is telling Adric in no uncertain terms that he will be returned to the Starliner, but by Warrior's Gate, they seem like old mates. So there are other planets in E-Space, just from evidence in the TV show.

The ultimate threat! - why didn't I think of it?

[Leah Betts]

At least we can look forward to Four/Sarah and Four/Sarah/Harry with Jon Culshaw and Sadie Miller...

[Stuart Wallis]

Give them six months and Mr. Culsaw will be playing everyone!

Ratcliffe is in his early sixties (the actor was 63)


So, almost retirement age.


Why is he messing about with The Association at his age instead of growing roses and sitting back with a bottle of brandy?


I can't see the young thugs that usually make up a fascist group having much patience for an old fart like Ratcliffe.


As i said, even by the time of the story, Ratcliffe is getting up in years.


Is he planning to re-conquer the British Empire in a wheelchair?

[Stuart Wallis]

Davros runs the Dalek empire from a wheelchair - how old is he now?!

Of course they're both quite mad...

And George Sewell was playing a police superintendent into his seventies.

I'm currently watching/listening to The Faceless Ones for the first time. I've always rather enjoyed the two existing episodes, but it's certainly a bit of a B-Movie isn't it! The bit at the start of part 4 where the Chameleon decides not to shoot the Doctor & co, but instead leave a slow-moving laser killing beam to gradually work its way across the floor towards them, while he leaves content in the satisfaction of a job well done, is especially memorable.

Nice to hear more of Sam though - and while it's interesting to imagine a season 5 with her rather than Victoria, I'm actually now more intrigued to speculate about 'what if' Jean Rook (Wanda Ventham) had been the new companion instead. Or Nurse Pinto...

"No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!"

"Why, Doctor! You are rather gorgeous!" - if the Pryce Master believes that about Joanna Lumley, maybe perception filters exist in the parody universe?

The 2nd Doctor: "If you don't switch over to sexual air supply"

They were a very mediocre soft pop band that went down well in the USA. I'd never have thought of them as sexual.
