Randall and rogg's favourite doctor who stories....

[Randall]

Has to be better than colins

[Rogg]

Poor Colin. I mentioned the ep in the other thread back in January.

Watched 'Dalek' for the first time since it was aired. Back when Doctor Who could actually land something. Eccles is invited to come see a creature chained up in the basement... he has no idea what's coming. He unhinges completely.

Rememberence was truly appaling

I started to clip this but... I mean. The entire thing. The Guardian acknowledges, and it's a miracle:

'Dear old Doctor Who has been in the doldrums. The pesky pandemic caused production delays, panicked rewrites and truncated series. Ratings have slumped, buzz has been badly lacking, and critical kickings have been administered.'

Needless to say the rest is all about how the problem can be solved by what's in people's underpants and how important and fascinating that is.

[Rogg]

A 'transgender-led' spin-off putting 'queer women front and centre' is 'breathing new life into Doctor Who'. Is it aye
'Very gay, very trans' and 'sitting to the left of the main show.'

Sounds perfect. Look out Antiques Roadshow repeats you're fucked.

[Randall]

Lost for words

[Rogg]

What the fuck is to the left of Doctor Who? Apart from Zeyes obviously.

Thing is, the producer of this thing actually says:

* "There’s something so enduring about the idea that, if you’re living a slightly humdrum life, this person in a blue box can whisk you away for an adventure in time and space."

What! Pretty much everybody forever can respond to that and for a precious moment you think this person gets the show. But then it's all UNDERPANTS UNDERPANTS UNDERPA

Nothing you can say.

[Randall]

If happily be whisked away

[Rogg]

Me too mate. We'd need to be obsessed with our genitals though I think. I half recall K9 asking Adric if he'd prefer to have a vagina.

[Randall]

I'd be whisked away with Pete and peri please

[Rogg]

I thought as much. I'll take Pat, Jamie and Zoe. Find a cupboard for Jamie.

[Randall]

He was so annoying and clichéd

[Rogg]

Full set of Jodie ratings.

Not sure how that last one was even possible, lols. Extraordijodie.

[Randall]

Surely someone involved must wonder why nobody watches it

[Rogg]

Surely someone involved must wonder why nobody watches it

Is it even seriously intended to be watched anymore? All that anyone involved ever seems to do is parrot LGBTQ+ representation and so on. Maybe that's pretty much all the BBC wants of it. Does that sound nuts?

[Randall]

If nobody watches it gets cancelled surely

[Rogg]

If nobody watches it gets cancelled surely

The BBC is a bit more complicated than that as they consider themselves to have responsibilities far beyond ratings. Like hacking people's balls off, for example. Things which are frightfully important.

So I don't know. I'd like to know if they actually fired Chinballs and Whittaker. We'll find out one day. They all talk eventually.

[Randall]

I might watch black orchid later

[Rogg]

I've not seen that for years. A Whodunnit pretty much isn't it?
