More Who Things

[elisi]

And more delightful things! Three videos under the cut: One very short, one short, and one very long. Thank you BBC for all these riches. 🙏


The Fifteenth Doctor Appears | An Adventure In Space And Time | Doctor Who

Watch on YouTube

Amazing how this one tiny scene makes me so excited to see him 'for real'.

Flashbacks with David and Catherine | Doctor Who

Watch on YouTube

They basically summarise the story so far, and goodness they're just the best double act! <3

^includes all the minisodes, complete with youtube links.

And I posted Chapter 5 of 'All Breakages Must Be Paid For': Interlude: In My Shoes

(This time we're onto Doctor-y angst, as a break from Seeker angst. *g*)

I am full of squee :D So much squee!

[elisi]

SEVEN HOURS!

[sea_thoughts]

I really need to watch the whole of the musical celebration. FYI I finished The Trial of a Time Lord, which was GREAT. I don't know why I find Six more bearable to watch when he's just as arrogant as Ten. Maybe because the text does pull him up on it instead of constantly claiming he can do no wrong? I'm now onto Seven and Ace and I am LOVING this era. I have some very vague memories of when this was on the first time around and six/seven year-old me was utterly correct in her instant adoration of these two and their dynamic.

Me too.

Excepting the Vervoids, it's one of the finest serials out there. And 'The Ultimate Foe' is my favourite Classic Who story bar none. <3

*nods* Six is deliberately portrayed as arrogant, whereas Ten is portrayed as righteous, and I think that's where the difference lies. Six owns it. (I love Six. AND I've met Colin Baker, who was an absolute darling and we talked about the awesomeness of having daughters.)

Me watching Seven: 😍😍😍

I've met Colin Baker, who was an absolute darling and we talked about the awesomeness of having daughters.

Ahh, I love Colin (never met him, though). He's such a force for good. I remember him being one of the Classic Doctors who was immediately positive about Jodie's casting and welcoming to her.

He's such a manipulative shit, I LOVE it. 8D

Same! He's the only Doctor I have ever met, and (back then) I hadn't yet seen any Classic Who, so when he asked which was my favourite episode I couldn't say. :( I want to meet him again so badly, partly just to flail about his stories (The Ultimate Foe in particular).

He's such a manipulative shit, I LOVE it. 8D
My Seven & Eleven loves are deeply enmeshed. <3

This. Then there's usually a reversal of personality from his previous incarnation (or in 6's case I'd almost say a reaction from how much shit Five got put through while trying to be 'The English Gentleman'. Like "Let's lets see how you like it when I'm not the ~Nice One~!"

[elisi]

Totally. Poor Five, he was SO LOVELY, but also his last season things were so freaking grim, no wonder he decided to get some armour, as it were.

[masakochan]

but also his last season things were so freaking grim

Five's final story 'The Caves of Androzani' is imo the most brutal episode out of damn near the entire series. ugh poor Five.

People love it, but I had to force myself to watch the whole thing. It was awful. I do not like grimness. :(

[promethia_tenk]

Oooooo, you're watching Classic Who?

*Stitch claps*

[sea_thoughts]

Mate, as soon as they made that available on iPlayer, I was on it like Sonic.😏

[promethia_tenk]

I don't even live in the UK, but I was so hype about the iPlayer announcement. Primarily so I could harass elisi to watch more, admittedly, but really just hoping it would get more people into it.

[sea_thoughts]

Classic Who was solely on Britbox before this and I refused to pay more just so I could watch it. Now I intend to CONSUME.

[promethia_tenk]

*psssst* elisi . . . elisi . . . elisi . . .

It's Doctor Who day!

[elisi]

5 hours and 45 minutes.

[promethia_tenk]

Alas, I do have a family thing to go to an hour after it ends, but huzzah for the Disney deal finally giving us simulcast, or I would have been sitting at dinner in a pool of resentment over having to watch to watch Doctor Who.

[elisi]

Well we are going to Durham tomorrow, so I'll be... around less.

[promethia_tenk]

Ahhh, booo. Very inconsiderate of the world to continue happening when there's Doctor Who on.

Hope it's a good time anyway.

[elisi]

We are meeting up with Miss M - it was her birthday last Sunday and we didn't get to see her then.

I shall have to do all the talking tonight. And then catch up tomorrow. :)

[promethia_tenk]

Just brain dump me everything you can, and I'll get back to you tomorrow . . .

[elisi]

I may just be a flailing mess...

[promethia_tenk]

Even better. Then we know we're in it *g*

[elisi]

[masakochan]

Oh gods- that scene in An Adventure in Space and Time always gets the tears going with Eleven, but adding Fifteen in is such a wonderful and heartwarming version of it. <3

[elisi]

It's the gift that keeps giving! <3

[kazzy_cee]

Squeeeeeeeee!

I haven't squeed for such a long time *grins*

[elisi]

HALF AN HOUR!!!

[starlady]

Thanks for posting that list! I made a stab at New Who a few years back but petered out, this will be very helpful when I resume.

[elisi]

You're welcome! It's a huge thing now, getting as unwieldy as Classic Who. (Don't even think about audios and novels and comics etc - the 'verse is literally endless. *g*)

However you can jump on at any point really. And if a Doctor/era doesn't work for you, just skip ahead.
