Well nowadays with Movie Magic anything is possible. I mean if they could finish THE CROW without Brandon Lee, what over 10 years ago? then they could do a full 11 Doctors. And Pat and Jon's sons sound so much like them...voices anyone. But alas ego and production idealogoy will keep any Chris movie or any multi Doctor movie or tv story for that matter from us. RTD doesn't like Multi Doc stories and I suspect it's because they want the current Doc to get all the kudos and avoid comparisions. Truth is if done correctly multi Doc stories can be fun and well done (don't mind THE TWO DOCTORS though, that's awful) but we'll never see that thanks to ego, commericialism, and ...indifference to the past of the show i any real meaningfuil context. Still we might get to see Davros, the Msater, The Rani, Romana, The Monk, Gallifrey, the Doc's mom and dad and all the companoins milling about together AGAIN! Naw, jus tkidding.
Chris and Paul in a movie would be great but I think any Time War movie is doomed to failure as the Time War should stay i n the realm of our imaginations.
My ratings (as best as my memory serves) of the audios I have listened to:
I must admit that many of the 8th Doctor, Charley, Krizz audios seem to be almost boring and not memorable so I left some of your ratings for those. There are a few I almost totally forgot. The Reaping, the Gathering, and the Boy That Time Forgot are the three worst IMO with Boy the absolute worst.

Is this true? Personally, while I hate to see it end the way it did and the last three episodes were pretty good, I don't feel all that bad. I didn't like the characters they used to replace three major characters and the main villianess, who seemed to have some secret motives, just feels like offing the human race because ...well, they're mean to everyone else? WTF? I love the first season, feel so so about the second, and feel the third was variable. Still I'd like to see it go on, it certainly has some beter stories than DW does rcently.
another thing that makes me wonder is if there is a universe of negative coordinates and one of postive, like a graph, are there two more universes with one with negative coordinates and postive and another with positive first and then negative? I know it was supposed to be a bridge between anti matter and matter but that got dropped.
This week the default site will be this one (the new one) (probably on Thursday, our anniversary day). While the previous site will still continue to run and will serve as an archive for the last four years (so all that content will not be lost, and all previous links to it created over the last four years will still continue to work), there will be no more new sign up registrations there (though if someone signs up here and would like to post comments to past content there, we can generate a registration for them upon request). Also there will be more obvious links to the site from there as well.
Great job! One question...for how long will both sites be up and running for? With no obvious link from the old to the new both seem to be ongoing. If I want to post or upload something I'm left wondering if I should do it twice so that everone see's it.
I think anyone sending any e-mails/letters should forward them to Impossible Pictures. The only good piece of fortune with all of this is that ITV don't own Primeval, so it could be sold to another channel.
Personally I think we'll see a US TV/Film version rather than more of the UK series. Which is a shame because there's still more of the story to tell from its currrent incarnation.
EDIT: Grade is already leaving his post at the end of the year. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8013801.stm I can't really see him getting rid of one of ITV's most successful shows out of spite. Oh wait...1989...
I've just thought of even worse American accents in Who than Captain Hopper, what about The Space Pirates? Even more wooden than Thunderbirds, and I don't mean the actual puppets! Nicola Bryant's accent did slip a couple of times, right at the start of Caves she pronounces "glass" in her native posh English. Maybe the Doctor was trying to give her elocution lessons...

Hi Guys Really enjoyed the show especially the review of The Tenth Planet. A couple of interesting things about this story. First of all the surviving visual material. As well as the clip that survived through Blue Peter, there is also some other material that survives because somebody (in Australia I think) pointed a home movie camera at there TV set and recorded a few precious moments of this (& some other) episode. The Target novel. The ending is very different from the TV version. In the novel, the doctor puts his cloak over his face & when Ben & Polly pull the cloak back, the Doctor has changed !
I don't believe online petitions will do much, if anything at all when it comes to television programming today (and for that matter, many other things for the most part). My suggestion would be to put your efforts into direct emails or better yet snail mail.
Online petitions won't hurt of course, but that alone I doubt will do much if it is not backed up by other methods of getting your voices heard. Sign away, but be sure to send an email, make a telephone call, or write a letter to the powers that be as well.
The best American actor to do a 'British' accent* is Alexis Denisof (who's in Angel I believe?). Although he worked in the UK for a few years his RP accent in the Sharpe episodes he was in was utterly superb. I couldn't believe it when I found out out he was American!
Although, John Barrowman is definitaley Scottish. If you read up on it, he actually 'put on' his accent when he was at school, because he got builled for having a Scottish accent. I personally felt offended by Braveheart, so i'll gloss over that and say that a Frenchman playing a Scot and a Scot playing an Egyptian in Highlander was probably one of the worst piece of castings ever. I don't care how good Lambert was in the first film!
I haven't seen House but I reckon Damian Lewis can do a better accent than Hugh Laurie! (no offence to Hugh fans)
But I think once we find out where a actor is from, once he/she does another accent we're always going to be picking up on every word and calling it 'terrible' if they get anything wrong. Hence the believability goes from the character and eventually the show itself, which spoils your enjoyment.
It's sad but it proves now that only the BBC are intrested in making decent British drama. What has happened to those one-off drama seasons that ITV used to run? I also would like to see what budget ITV are working with - this series of Primeval was a co-production with a German TV company.
I've read somewhere that the creators had a few overseas investors lined up for series 4 but ITV still didn't want it. I hope they don't leave the show the way it ended. This new hollywood movie will be a utter disaster, I know it.
There's rumours going around that Impossible Pictures may sell it to another channel. Sky seem the most likely to pick it up, along with the SCI-FI channel (the UK one that actually shows SCI-Fi and not wrestling!) but I don't think they've done an orginal series in years. Primeval is distrubted by BBC Worldwide, so maybe...
Maybe if there is indeed a big buget motion picture in the works w/ Russell T and Dr. #10 that that would be a big enough plum for Christopher to take a bite of. I hope so, would that be great, the likes of Dr.s 8,9 & 10 in a big screen movie? One can dream.
I feel like we never had a proper 'Doctor's' episode w/ the Three Doctors having poor Bill Hartnell confined to a few cameo's, and the Five Doctors w/out Tom Baker and a William Hartnell stand in.
Of course. It's just that I happened to notice that all the other Doctors had at least one post, while poor Chris had nothing yet and I had to fix that.
I do, however, believe that there IS a tendency to forget about Chris. However, I feel like this is starting to get better, particularly in the podcasting community, at least partly thanks to the guys at Radio Free Skaro who are doing commentaries on Season One episodes.
'What about James Marsters? I thought he was from England until I heard him in interviews. His accent is impeccable though. Maybe that's why he rarely plays American roles. And Hugh Laurie is a master of accents. He can switch back and forth between so many, it's crazy.'
Totally agree
PS -Carl you need to sort out your SIG link to twitter
How could I forget him! I just watched that episode last month. It seems to me that the key ingredient in putting on an American accent is to talk loudly, be abrupt and direct, wave a gun around indescriminantly and to if possible call people 'guys' or 'fellers'
haha.
If it's any consolation - we too are ashamed of Dick Van Dyke's turn as a chimney sweep. Don't forget about Keanu Reeves in Bram Stokers Dracula.
I would like if we can agree that each person can vote once per calender day, rather than having to wait 24 hours since the last vote.
My schedule is such that sometimes I can be at the computer every day, but sometimes it may be early morning, other days lunch time or the evening.
It would appear that this forum reports posting times in local time (the old site referenced everything to EST). Does it show everything in the viewing users timezone, or is each entry recorded in the posters local time?

Well nowadays with Movie Magic anything is possible. I mean if they could finish THE CROW without Brandon Lee, what over 10 years ago? then they could do a full 11 Doctors. And Pat and Jon's sons sound so much like them...voices anyone. But alas ego and production idealogoy will keep any Chris movie or any multi Doctor movie or tv story for that matter from us.

Is this true? Personally, while I hate to see it end the way it did and the last three episodes were pretty good, I don't feel all that bad. I didn't like the characters they used to replace three major characters and the main villianess, who seemed to have some secret motives, just feels like offing the human race because ...well, they're mean to everyone else? WTF? I love the first season, feel so so about the second, and feel the third was variable. Still I'd like to see it go on, it certainly has some beter stories than DW does rcently.
another thing that makes me wonder is if there is a universe of negative coordinates and one of postive, like a graph, are there two more universes with one with negative coordinates and postive and another with positive first and then negative? I know it was supposed to be a bridge between anti matter and matter but that got dropped.

This week the default site will be this one (the new one) (probably on Thursday, our anniversary day). While the previous site will still continue to run and will serve as an archive for the last four years (so all that content will not be lost, and all previous links to it created over the last four years will still continue to work), there will be no more new sign up registrations there (though if someone signs up here and would like to post comments to past content there, we can generate a registration for them upon request). Also there will be more obvious links to the site from there as well.
Great job! One question...for how long will both sites be up and running for? With no obvious link from the old to the new both seem to be ongoing. If I want to post or upload something I'm left wondering if I should do it twice so that everone see's it.

I think anyone sending any e-mails/letters should forward them to Impossible Pictures. The only good piece of fortune with all of this is that ITV don't own Primeval, so it could be sold to another channel.
Personally I think we'll see a US TV/Film version rather than more of the UK series. Which is a shame because there's still more of the story to tell from its currrent incarnation.
Anyway, here's the link to the relevant addresses for Impossible Pictures, http://www.impossiblepictures.co.uk/ (click on the 'contact' tab).
EDIT: Grade is already leaving his post at the end of the year. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8013801.stm I can't really see him getting rid of one of ITV's most successful shows out of spite. Oh wait...1989...
I've just thought of even worse American accents in Who than Captain Hopper, what about The Space Pirates? Even more wooden than Thunderbirds, and I don't mean the actual puppets! Nicola Bryant's accent did slip a couple of times, right at the start of Caves she pronounces "glass" in her native posh English. Maybe the Doctor was trying to give her elocution lessons...
I was Shockeye07 but am now Mr Smith, new site, new name.
I don't believe online petitions will do much, if anything at all when it comes to television programming today (and for that matter, many other things for the most part). My suggestion would be to put your efforts into direct emails or better yet snail mail.
Online petitions won't hurt of course, but that alone I doubt will do much if it is not backed up by other methods of getting your voices heard. Sign away, but be sure to send an email, make a telephone call, or write a letter to the powers that be as well.
Cheers,
Louis
The best American actor to do a 'British' accent* is Alexis Denisof (who's in Angel I believe?). Although he worked in the UK for a few years his RP accent in the Sharpe episodes he was in was utterly superb. I couldn't believe it when I found out out he was American!
Although, John Barrowman is definitaley Scottish. If you read up on it, he actually 'put on' his accent when he was at school, because he got builled for having a Scottish accent. I personally felt offended by Braveheart, so i'll gloss over that and say that a Frenchman playing a Scot and a Scot playing an Egyptian in Highlander was probably one of the worst piece of castings ever. I don't care how good Lambert was in the first film!
I haven't seen House but I reckon Damian Lewis can do a better accent than Hugh Laurie! (no offence to Hugh fans)
But I think once we find out where a actor is from, once he/she does another accent we're always going to be picking up on every word and calling it 'terrible' if they get anything wrong. Hence the believability goes from the character and eventually the show itself, which spoils your enjoyment.
* There is no such thing as a 'British accent'!
It's sad but it proves now that only the BBC are intrested in making decent British drama. What has happened to those one-off drama seasons that ITV used to run? I also would like to see what budget ITV are working with - this series of Primeval was a co-production with a German TV company.
I've read somewhere that the creators had a few overseas investors lined up for series 4 but ITV still didn't want it. I hope they don't leave the show the way it ended. This new hollywood movie will be a utter disaster, I know it.
There's rumours going around that Impossible Pictures may sell it to another channel. Sky seem the most likely to pick it up, along with the SCI-FI channel (the UK one that actually shows SCI-Fi and not wrestling!) but I don't think they've done an orginal series in years. Primeval is distrubted by BBC Worldwide, so maybe...
Maybe if there is indeed a big buget motion picture in the works w/ Russell T and Dr. #10 that that would be a big enough plum for Christopher to take a bite of. I hope so, would that be great, the likes of Dr.s 8,9 & 10 in a big screen movie? One can dream.
I feel like we never had a proper 'Doctor's' episode w/ the Three Doctors having poor Bill Hartnell confined to a few cameo's, and the Five Doctors w/out Tom Baker and a William Hartnell stand in.
Of course. It's just that I happened to notice that all the other Doctors had at least one post, while poor Chris had nothing yet and I had to fix that.
I do, however, believe that there IS a tendency to forget about Chris. However, I feel like this is starting to get better, particularly in the podcasting community, at least partly thanks to the guys at Radio Free Skaro who are doing commentaries on Season One episodes.
'What about James Marsters? I thought he was from England until I heard him in interviews. His accent is impeccable though. Maybe that's why he rarely plays American roles. And Hugh Laurie is a master of accents. He can switch back and forth between so many, it's crazy.'
Totally agree
PS -Carl you need to sort out your SIG link to twitter
Cheers, daveac
Although I think Primeval has faults - it really is a developing into a really good Sci-Fi Show - so I've added my name to the petition.
Cheers, daveac
How could I forget him! I just watched that episode last month. It seems to me that the key ingredient in putting on an American accent is to talk loudly, be abrupt and direct, wave a gun around indescriminantly and to if possible call people 'guys' or 'fellers'
haha.
If it's any consolation - we too are ashamed of Dick Van Dyke's turn as a chimney sweep. Don't forget about Keanu Reeves in Bram Stokers Dracula.
I would like if we can agree that each person can vote once per calender day, rather than having to wait 24 hours since the last vote.
My schedule is such that sometimes I can be at the computer every day, but sometimes it may be early morning, other days lunch time or the evening.
It would appear that this forum reports posting times in local time (the old site referenced everything to EST). Does it show everything in the viewing users timezone, or is each entry recorded in the posters local time?
John Barrowman was born in Scotland, but has lived in the US since 1976, when he's not in the UK at least. He's technically a Scottish-American then?
