jack Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 (edited) Now I dont know if it's just me but after watching Inferno last night I have come to the conclusion that Liz Shaw (Caroline John) is the perfect women. It's a shame she didnt stay with the Dr for longer The producer at the time, Barry Letts felt that the charactor was a "threat" to the Dr because she wasnt the usual type of assistant that he travelled with. Not enough screaming And red hair too......... Edited November 27, 2006 by jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 So, they replaced her with one willing to press her bumps against a Dalek? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbminter Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I used to hide under table when Doctor Who started, My kids think it's funny, not doctor who, me hiding. This still amazes me. I've loved Daleks since I first saw them in an picture in a Starlog publication when I was 8. Had not seen a single episode or movie, just an image. Then, I managed to find the 20th Anniversary Special magazine at my Spencer's of all places, reduced on sale, and, I was hooked. Got to see the Doctor Who And The Daleks movie a little later and finally the first American VHS release circa 1987, when, the next year, a local PBS station carried the Tom Baker years. I got to see my first full fledged Dalek story with one of the best, Genesis Of The Daleks. I've never found the Daleks scary on sight. Only scary in what they mean, something which children aren't going to get. What they represent, the feelings of racism, xenophobia, fascism, and particularly Nazism. Those are scary... but... even I admit... it gives me such a thrill to hear those little pepper pots shriek "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontasciime Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 i was only 4 or 5, and someone in our street who had money or contacts had a dalek suit who chased us thru the alleway that joins my house to next door. This was about 1972-73 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Well, admittedly, that is an usual circumstance. If I was only 5 and someone chased me down the street in a Dalek prop, yeah, I'd be scarred for life, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digidragon Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 Well it looks like you Yanks will be getting series three even earlier next year - in "the summer" according to the scifi website. So that means you'll get it while we're still watching it, or will have just finished watching it. Plus, in two days' time the second Who christmas special,?The?Runaway?Bride, airs here on BBC one. Also, in the morning they're showing the Doctor Who concert that I went to last month. In addition, The Sarah Jane?Smith Adventures begins on 1st January, and on the same day the Torchwood finale airs, when the rift opens and (maybe) opens the way for the Daleks and Cybermen to return to Earth. Then just a few months to wait for season three to begin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfcrule1972 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I have really enjoyed Torchwood, nice mix of stories and small glimpses into the lifes of the characters - is there going to be a second series digi ? Also, the DVD recorder is on standby for the Dr Who - Runaway Bride episode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digidragon Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 Torchwood's been pretty mixed. There have been some really good episodes, and some really bad ones. But hopefully they've found their feet now, and series 2, which starts filming next spring, should hopefully be more consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digidragon Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 Well I was well impressed with the Torchwood season finale! Looking forward to season 2 now!! And I really enjoyed the pilot of The Sarah Jane Adventures. Even though it was made for kids, and even though we only briefly saw K9, as he was otherwise engaged stopping a black hole created by Swiss scientists from sucking in the Earth!!! I'll be totally Who-less for a while now, but at least BSG season 3.5 starts in a couple of weeks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfcrule1972 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I haven't seen the Torchwood season finale yet it's still on Sky+ and we missed the Sarah Jane Adventures the kids were looking fwd to that too What night is it on digi and I will see if they repeat it.

digidragon Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 The Sarah Jane thing was on new year's day. I don't know when it's being repeated, but I've got a copy if you need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Could some of you do me favor? The Big Finish site has been down for me for over a week. Could someone check bigfinish.com and verify this or tell me if it's up or not? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digidragon Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 The http://www.bigfinish.com/ site is fine for me here, db. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfcrule1972 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 It's up and working for me mate ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I knew it was, I just needed verification. FUCK! I knew it... Time to start the restores, I suppose. It's something in my web settings, apparently. Because it's blocked now by both Firefox and IE. It was working fine up until just before Christmas. I've checked the hosts file and it's not blocked there. So, any idea what might be the problem? Firefox returns this: Problem loading page The connection has timed out The server at www.bigfinish.com is taking too long to respond. No other sites I know of are doing this to me. Any ideas? No, probably not. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digidragon Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 Sorry, db. Don't know. That site's hosted in the UK. Maybe your ISP is having trouble with its pipe to the UK. Can you access any other UK sites? I mean small ones, not bbc.co.uk which have mirrors everywhere... EDIT: like http://www.nebula-electronics.com/ for example.

dbminter Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Well, fuck... I restored an entire virgin factory partition, only installing firewall/AV software, and it still doesn't load. Would someone check bigfinish.com for me again, just to be sure it's actually up and running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
