Not a fan of Antiques Roadshow then?

I admit it can get a little racy.

Were you not at the Dr WHO convention in Stockton-on-tees (as any Timlord worth his salt would be)over the Weekend Cambo?

Sylvester Mcoy was there..All the stalls sold out of Tom Baker Underpants and vest sets in record time

Phew!Lucky you already had the limited edition seven days a week boxset Steve

Seriously,it was Dalek central.I thought you might be there.

Yer not one of those fickle fairweather Timelords are you Steve?

I don't really take any notice of conventions and the like, it's all too fan-boy for me. Mind you, I am gonna purchase a Baker scarf. Funny, I hated Sly McCoy BIG TIME when he took over, and now he is one of my all time faves.....if anyone needs convincing, watch the appalling TV movie with (the excellent) Paul Mcgann, McCoy's few pre-regeneration minutes are amazing.

Didn't manage to see the documentary that this thread was started for, but I set HAL to download it to the TARDIS databanks while I'm in work, will watch when I get home.

Someone on Pirate Bay has a torrent of every Tom Baker episode - which is nice. I dipped in to extract Terror Of The Zygons and the one about the rats and the oriental ventriloquist.

Didn't some stories all link together where he was looking for peices of a key that were scattered across the galaxy?

The Key To Time

I can sodding REMEMBER terror of the Zygons from being a sproglet, I could only have been about THREE! My mum stopped me watching for about a year after that. It scared the bollockin pish out of me. Nessie looks a bit tragic these days though :(

The Oriental one is Talons of Weng Chiang or summut. Leala's (ahem) Mint, in it, gorgeous and psychotic in equal measure

Linked stories....

Yup, following a Sontaran attempt to take over Galifrey (Invasion of Time), some geezer called The White Gaurdian sends the Dr off to find the 6 bits of the Key to Time (can't for the life of me remember why they're all over the place). Tom dumps Leala, picks up Romanadvoratrelundar V1.0 (Mary Tamm), and the next 6 stories are all linked, the silliest being The Pirate Planet (by a Mr D. Adams), which WILL make you belly laugh at times, as will the last scene of the last part of the last story, (script edited by, ahem, a Mr D. Adams)

Boaty's gonna take this as proof of my K9 undergarments, tho why he keeps asking "what pants are you wearing" is anyone's guess.

Or, you could read that fucker Owens' answer

Oh yeah, just watched the show in question, bloody good documentary, some new names to seek and read. Some standard BBC BS, but a pretty comprehensive history....fck all left to talk about next week really

You're not wrong about the monster. Sat and watched in one go last night, still creepy in an obviously latex cotume type of way - hadn't seen it since I was six yet remembered odd bits, like when Sarah sees the Zygon lying dead on the barn floor.

Guess I'll have to configure ABC to get the Key To Time ones next - cheers!

I was just going to post a new thread entitled FAO CAMBO,and lo and behold!! Stevo I bring you good tidings.Personally I liked the Tom Cruise WAR OF THE WORLDS but... Jeff Lynne announced this week that he's touring the musical version again,then after that,he's turning it into a FILM!! At least it's the Victorian version.He'll just have to dig up Justin Hayward,and literally Richard Burton.:rip:

If the show does anywhere over here I may go. Yes the musical version takes liberties with the story too, but it keeps the terror beautifully. The movie's been in pre-production already for 2 years. I have out-takes from the album here, and they have Burton and Essex doing nearly the whole book, already on tape :D

PS I do not object to Mr Cruise's film, I object to it taking the name of a story to which it bears NO relation at all. Name one similarity beyon an alien invasion ( in common with every invasion movie ever of course) between that crap and what HGW wrote.

Steve. discoverychannel.ca if you'd like extra time online. Current editions on Race cars, Space news and spy tech. stories all in one place. Even used the ad. space at Bus stops the other week.

Race cars ya say? ( I tend to avoid TV space stuff as it's all a bit primary school these days)

Is the race car series by any chance, The Road to Le Mans? If so I've seen it, good show, tho not half as good as watching their car go BOOM live in the race

Yeah,I've never read the book,but guessing,it's only loosely based on the George Pal film.Invasion,die of a cold.End Credits. Oh Steve, the musical version's just come out on DVD!

They actually ROTTED rather than catching disease.

A cow-orker of mine just told me about the DVD, off to seek it out now :D
