The Doctor Who Thread

[Susan Foreman]

November 14th, 2022 - 9 years ago today, Paul McGann returned to our screens in the role of The Doctor for the first time since the television movie in 1996

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

Let's hope there's more to come from Paul McGann during the 60th.

He's now appeared in three episodes as the Doctor thanks to The Power of the Doctor.

That must be some sort of weird record, three episodes nine, eight and nine years apart.

He has been so wasted.

With the budget for the show being increased to £10 million per episode, a design for the new-look Daleks has been released

[The man in the picture is Christopher Trace, so I am assuming that this was actually a 'viewer-builds-a-Dalek-using-egg-boxes' feature from a 1960's edition of 'Blue Peter']

Its amazing what you can learn to make from a Blue Peter episode.

Wouldn't this be nice were it more than for just Big Finish? A sequel to Kate's first acting job Dark Season , a six part sci-fi show on the BBC.
