Scroll to bottom Creator Topic May 3, 2011 at 6:00 pm #9695 Ian SymesKeymaster Three things from Day of the Moon… 1) The Doctor buggering about with Apollo 11 – there’s a few bits left over, but it’s always the same when you do a bit of DIY. 2) The photo of Amy with a baby in the orphanage. I don’t know, but it’s going to be a lot of fun finding out. 3) The eyepatch woman behind the fake hatch is played by Frances Barber, aka Genny Mutant.

May 3, 2011 at 11:21 pm #112184 Seb PatrickKeymaster >The eyepatch woman behind the fake hatch is played by Frances Barber Is this actually true? Awesome. May 3, 2011 at 11:59 pm #112186 ChrisMParticipant >The eyepatch woman behind the fake hatch is played by Frances Barber Is this actually true? Awesome. Indeed! I thought she looked familiar… May 4, 2011 at 2:46 am #112189 JonsmadParticipant The future doctor dieing is like Future Echoes in reverse. Seeing a future death and then NOT telling immediately. May 4, 2011 at 4:19 am #112190 RidleyParticipant Genny Who? May 4, 2011 at 10:58 am #112197 siParticipant I was thinking about this thread last night. Not my usual subject for wet dreams, but still. I was thinking about assorted Who/Dwarf connections. Has someone already written an article on such matters? ‘Cause if not, I was thinking of writing something myself later – shared cast/crew members, similar storylines/dialogue etc. May 4, 2011 at 11:07 am #112200 Seb PatrickKeymaster Not an article, but there are plenty of examples tagged thusly: http://www.ganymede.tv/doctor-dwarf/ May 4, 2011 at 11:08 am #112201 siParticipant Oh well. I’ll write something anyway, and post a link when it gets writ. May 4, 2011 at 11:48 am #112202 Seb PatrickKeymaster As long as it’s not on sodding Twitlonger. May 4, 2011 at 5:17 pm #112204 siParticipant Oh darn… No, I’ve got a blog somewhere, I’ll put it on there. It’s not been written yet, mind. May 4, 2011 at 6:32 pm #112205 siParticipant Got my books out. RD Programme Guide, DW Terrestrial Index, DW Book Of Lists, assorted DW episode guides, plus DWM Series Guides for ‘NuWho’ details. Interesting things so far – there was a Paul Alexander in The Mind Robber in 1968 (I’m pretty sure it’s not the same one), and assorted Who stories have featured appearances from Shane Rimmer, Penny Lister and Derek Smee. I’ll be back later… May 8, 2011 at 7:58 pm #112253 JonsmadParticipant The Post Pod’s Arrived. May 8, 2011 at 8:23 pm #112254 pfmParticipant I’m sorry but Matt’s performance in that clip is fairly appalling… May 11, 2011 at 9:00 am #112269 Jonathan CappsKeymaster He’s exactly like he always is! May 11, 2011 at 2:40 pm #112275 Nick RParticipant BBC4 have been showing The Hand of Fear the last couple of days as a tribute to Elisabeth Sladen. I noticed it happens to feature this model shot (screengrab found via this site): http://drwhotht04.my3gb.com/4n-c/d4-4n-c078.jpg That dome looked familiar to me… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As5eQ58stG4#t=4m41s For a moment I thought that the Quarantine model was an altered reuse of the one from Dr Who. But now I’ve made that side-by-side comparison, I doubt it. After all, in science fiction the geodesic dome is a fairly common design for bases on moons and planets. But if not that one, were any other models shared between Who and Dwarf, in the same way that Rimmer’s badge was reused from HHGTTG? Not an article, but there are plenty of examples tagged thusly: http://www.ganymede.tv/doctor-dwarf/ There’s also this: http://www.ganymede.tv/indepth/now-you-see-it By the way, G&T’s In Depth/Features index page has somehow become slightly messed up: everything below “The Debate: Series VIII’s Setting” appears in bold! May 11, 2011 at 7:43 pm #112276 Ian SymesKeymaster I blame Seb. Fixed! Thanks for flagging it. May 11, 2011 at 9:51 pm #112279 genericnerdyusernameParticipant I see nothing wrong with MS’s performance in this clip. May 12, 2011 at 1:18 am #112282 pfmParticipant It’s just the ‘I’ve got mail!’ line…I don’t know, maybe I’m just getting tired of his performance…. He’s definitely playing it ‘zany’ this year, moreso than in series 5. May 13, 2011 at 4:31 pm #112291 siParticipant Re the Who/Dwarf Comparisons piece I was planning to write – If anyone’s in any way interested, I will do it sometime. I started researching it, but there’s a lot to do. I may as well wait til the end of this series before I write it all up. If, however, you’re not interested – well, you’re not missing anything, are you? May 13, 2011 at 6:22 pm #112293 ori-STUDFARMParticipant I don’t envy you the task of researching it all…..as you say, theres a lot to do! And you just know that when it’s finished, it’ll be criticised for missing this connection or that link. I look forward to it :) May 14, 2011 at 7:25 pm #112300 JonsmadParticipant The ouroborous symbol. Add that to the list. May 14, 2011 at 11:24 pm #112307 Ian SymesKeymaster And the post pods. And the unreality bubbles/House. May 14, 2011 at 11:44 pm #112308 genericnerdyusernameParticipant Could I convince anyone that the TARDIS becoming human is anything like Kryten becoming human, or am I just a fool? May 15, 2011 at 8:09 am #112272 Pete Part ThreeParticipant White Hole was also in there. May 15, 2011 at 6:09 pm #112314 hummingbirdParticipant > There’s a (P)siren in next week’s episode. > The ouroborous symbol. Add that to the list. Just pointing out that both of these ideas pre-date both RD and DW by quite a bit, actually. May 16, 2011 at 9:29 am #112320 Ian SymesKeymaster Gosh, really? May 16, 2011 at 3:23 pm #112324 Jonathan CappsKeymaster CANCEL DOCTOR DWARF IMMEDIATELY. May 16, 2011 at 7:04 pm #112325 hummingbirdParticipant :P May 17, 2011 at 12:53 am #112327 JonsmadParticipant Both doctors and dwarfs were around long before doctor who or red dwarf of course. May 17, 2011 at 3:25 am #112329 genericnerdyusernameParticipant Though the Doctor isn’t really that sort of Doctor, and Red Dwarf isn’t really a dwarf. May 17, 2011 at 7:03 am #112330 Seb PatrickKeymaster We really don’t want to upset the dwarves, they’re big business here in Hollywood. May 17, 2011 at 1:04 pm #112331 DaveParticipant >Just pointing out that both of these ideas pre-date both RD and DW by quite a bit, actually. Filthy Rich and Catflap? May 23, 2011 at 8:06 pm #112346 Ian SymesKeymaster Ee by by gum, chuck pal love sir. May 23, 2011 at 8:09 pm #112347 Danny StephensonKeymaster I’ll sit at t’bottom o’t stairs and eat a barmcake. By ‘eck. May 28, 2011 at 9:28 pm #112393 JonsmadParticipant The Flesh Doctor: Gosh, I was just going to think that! The Original Doctor: Were you, really? That’s incredible! What a lovely story! May 29, 2011 at 12:05 am #112395 pfmParticipant Hated the first part, loved the second… Matthew Graham really is schizo! Hope his (rumoured) Star Wars live action series script(s) is up to scratch, if/when it ever gets made!! The ending was as clear and concise a payoff to Amy’s pregnancy/non-pregnancy that we could ever have hoped for. There was something oddly satisfying about seeing her melt… Also, surely a merchandise op right there for ‘Flesh Amy’?? I’ll leave you to ponder that one………:P May 29, 2011 at 12:44 pm #112398 hummingbirdParticipant What I can’t figure out is why did he kill GangerAmy when he’d been so keen to save the other gangers? Seems a little inconsistent, if not hypocritical. May 29, 2011 at 3:32 pm #112399 ChrisMParticipant What I can’t figure out is why did he kill GangerAmy when he’d been so keen to save the other gangers? Seems a little inconsistent, if not hypocritical. Yeah. I thought that too. I guess one could argue that ganger Amy is purely a puppet for the human version’s consciousness, unlike the others that had been made autonomous by the sun-tsunami-thing. Trouble is, there was a strong suggestion in this latest episode that the original Flesh feels pain as well. The human puppet masters are unaware of it (or they turn a blind eye), since they’re pain receptors are disconnected at the point of destruction. The Flesh is no longer them at that point, but it feels. There was that big dollop that Rory and the girl (I forget her name) found. It was still alive… and Rory’s ‘friend’ stated that she remembered every time her form was melted, which means her memory goes back before the sun-storm. (I guess that explains why she went crazier than the other gangers too.) I guess it could be argued that ‘ganger-Amy’ was created from a later adaptation of the Flesh technology, Flesh that could not feel by itself, but that was never explained. Moral issues aside, it would make sense to me to keep ganger Amy around. Surely they would be able to track the signal to source better, rather than breaking the connection, like that! The Tardis could have recorded the source by then, but they don’t know that human Amy wouldn’t be moved later. Seemed they were going more for emotionalism and drama rather than logic. (And to be fair, the ‘sploosh’ was very dramatic.) That being said, I liked the episode, and I loved the twist. May 29, 2011 at 3:36 pm #112400 ChrisMParticipant I wonder at what point Amy was swapped? I assumed it was when Amy was abducted in the earlier episode, but someone remarked on another website, that her first sight of the eye-patch lady was before then! How long has she been away? EDIT- “in above post ‘they’re pain receptors’ obviously should be ‘their pain receptors’. I was going to edit it, but then I realised these posts would be out of order. May 30, 2011 at 12:42 pm #112406 Seb PatrickKeymaster Wrong thread, guys. May 30, 2011 at 12:43 pm #112407 Seb PatrickKeymaster Also, he didn’t kill the Amy Ganger. He severed the psychic link between Amy and it, so it reverted to the Flesh’s inert state. What happened wasn’t the same as when sentient gangers were destroyed, it’s what happened whenever people “switched off” out of their harnesses in normal everyday use. May 31, 2011 at 11:02 am #112416 GwynnieParticipant I definitely had Me2 flashbacks when there were two Doctors. May 31, 2011 at 4:15 pm #112420 Fluffy WokParticipant Also, by destroying the ganger and its psychic link it stops whoever set up the situation from using it to track the movements of the Doctor. On topic – Just rewatched “Gridlock” – New New York (Futurama reference there?) is wiped out by the new designer drug – Bliss. It’s not specified that it’s so addictive that they got hooked by looking at it but as every skellington has a patch in that Senate it might as well be May 31, 2011 at 4:39 pm #112421 Fluffy WokParticipant Bliss is of course also in Batman, Aeon Flux and various other sci fi works as described here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_medicines_and_drugs June 1, 2011 at 1:42 pm #112386 Seb PatrickKeymaster Yep, we did the Bliss one ;-) http://www.ganymede.tv/atspeed/2007/04/the-ultimate-doctor-dwarf-moment June 1, 2011 at 2:08 pm #112387 genericnerdyusernameParticipant Could we mention Bodysnatcher alongside Me2, just to give me something to do? June 6, 2011 at 1:27 am #112457 GwynnieParticipant Well, these ones are a bit of a stretch, but…. weird time-crossing-parentage (I almost expected to find out that Amy was her own mother, and that she had regenerated into River, but there were no such Ouroborous style storylines)… Amy and baby Melody bursting into white plastic/wax stuff reminded me of Waxworld droids… June 16, 2011 at 3:37 pm #112552 siParticipant Just saw this on DeviantArt… http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/162/4/3/the_wire__s_true_identity_by_rook971-d3iom1j.gif (or http://rook971.deviantart.com/art/The-Wire-s-True-Identity-212779927) November 22, 2011 at 11:42 am #113343 siParticipant My sister pointed out last night that the girl who stars in this year’s Doctor Who christmas special, The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe, is Holly Earl, who played the Young Kochanski in ‘Pete pt 1’. I *knew* I recognised the name… December 15, 2011 at 10:40 pm #113680 siParticipant CultBox have done an interview with Doctor Who guest star Holly Earl, who was, of course, in ‘Pete, part one’ all those years ago. The full interview can be found at http://www.cultbox.co.uk/interviews/exclusives/2657-holly-earl-doctor-who-the-doctor-the-widow-and-the-wardrobe-interview although the bit we’re all interested in can be found below… Do you remember much about playing the young Kochanski in Red Dwarf back in 1999? “Yes, I do, you’ve done your research! I was about 7, I remember being very amazed being on a sci-fi set. “I didn’t realise when I was that young quite how big the show was. I remember being fascinated by the guy with the odd shaped head!” Author Replies Viewing 50 replies - 1 through 50 (of 54 total) 1 2 Scroll to top • Scroll to Recent Forum Posts You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
