@Anastasia Cousins i mean they’d still have time to film it for a 2027 release for k9’s 50th anniversary,😂 they’d just have to fast track it.
But highly unlikely😢
I know for sure there is a faction paradox film that wasnt produced so like this comment for that one
(Edited by Talon1105)
One of the only classic stories where I prefer watching the special edition with updated effects and voices over the original
I personally would switch happiness patrol and remembrance, but this season really is tough to choose.
Silver nemesis is one of those stories that’s just kinda there, I dont necessarily like it, but I don’t hate it
Hapiness patrol I think is great political satire and a good story, plus the kandyman is so ridiculous that he’s great
Remembrance is the best dalek story in my opinion and is just a good quality dalek story
Greatest show is so Much fun, the chief clown is terrifying, and the scene with seven distracting the gods of ragnarok is easily one of his best
The rights I believe are in limbo as the creators have passed and they were not passed on to the estate so no one knows who actually owns the rights to the character.
Yeah I’d put them in the same order.
Though I kind of like ghost like because it’s one of those over ambitious stories they didn’t know what to do with😂
Battlefield is just fun and good to see seven and the brig together
Curse if Fenric I think was good, but could have been better if fabric had been built up more rather than just a “my oldest enemy we’ve never seen” twist
And survival is just one of my favorite classic stories and 100% Ainley best performance as the master
I don't think we need a detailed history of the original 12 masters. I mean we have the first master (William Hughes/Milo Parker) and the inventor master who was originally intended to be the first master but has since been retconned to being the second or third master (according to “blood of the timelords”) so I think it’s fine if they revisit it now and then, just to throw an interesting “meeting out of order” spin on it occasionally, but I don’t think we need to know about those other 10 that are still a mystery
I honestly don’t think It would work at all’s the most likely would be the main actor playing the current incarnation would either appear to Talk to themselves most of the time ogle having voiceovers for the other incarnations
This is tough, I really don’t think there’s is a BAD version of the theme tune they all have their pros and cons.
I would have to say my favorite is probably either, Murray gold’s arrangement from the 2009 specials, the trial of a timelord theme, or Gold’s arrangement for Capaldis seasons, and of course, the OG theme
However a few honorable mentions to John Powell’s TV Movie arrangement (though I still find it odd how they started it in the middle eight rather than the beginning) and Capaldi s epic guitar intro
Unfortunately no, we know the next two are Missy and the Bruce master (Roberts) and the trailer showed the monk and the nun so we can assume they’ll get their own trilogies but I don’t think the eleven will any time soon.

A lot of people kind of start to lose interest in Tom in seasons 15-17, but then 18 has some of his best stories outside of his first three seasons.
Honestly, no.
Its a funny scene and probably his most RANDOM moment, but o wouldn’t say it’s anywhere near his best moment.
@FH2104 id have to agree with you judging purely off season one of torchwood, but because of the later seasons being as good as they are (it took me a LONG time to bring myself to watch them) I would say there are episodes in season one that are worse than some episodes of class
(Edited by Talon1105)
I don’t see class ever being revived.
Even Big Finish has a licensing issue where they can only set their stories during the first season and were not able to continue past the finale (which is why they never picked up the cliffhanger) I don’t remember where I read this, it may have been during one of the podcasts so I can’t really fact check myself.
But really I don’t think many people want the show to come back. It was easily the worst spin off that was made by the bbc and only the first episode was decent because of Capaldi and the final cliffhanger just because of the weeping angels. So if it has its fans, good on them for enjoying it, but I don’t think it had enough fans to warrant a revival after all
This time.
I know it’s late now but impossible, that completely defeats the point of sellibg tickets if they were to livestream it for free.
Currently the only way to experience the story is to buy the studio version but I imagine a “live version” will be made available for purchase soon, maybe with video recording as a downloadable extra 🤞

So on first watch I really enjoyed this episode…
Rewatching it was a mistake because now it’s my least favorite RTD finale which is saying a lot considering last of the timelords exists.
First off, I’ve said this many many times, the opening should have been the cliffhanger. The cliffhanger should have been Kate and unit being dusted away similar to thanos snap. And we could have sat on that for a whole week rather than just “well that’s getting undone in about 30 minutes…
Secondly, the messed up with Sutekh. One thing that big finish understood with Sutekh whenever they brought him back was that he was still entrapped in some way because Sutekh is one of those villains that was made so powerful that having a story where he’s freed (despite never leaving the TARDIS)and bringing his gift of death writes yourself into a corner where you have to come up with a good way to defeat Sutekh…
Safe to say RTD failed at that one…
Lastly, the Ruby’s mom reveal felt very tacked on and at first I didn’t care that Ruby was a nobody but then I had a think and realized that means we just wasted an entire season’s story arc on absolutely nothing… making this season pretty unrewatchable as a whole (similar to most of the Disney plus marvel Shows) because you know the ending is so disappointing.
Its also one of those things that the more you think about the less it makes sense.
As I said, had I not rewatched this episode I think it would have been a lot better in my mind
As @FH2104 mentioned, the TARDIS crashing instead of materializing bothered me, but hopefully that will change and just be Sutekh’s doing
Also I feel like the time window could have been paced better because it was a bit slow and could have had the Sutekh reveal a bit earlier and had the dust of death been the cliffhanger (going into my problems with empire of death a bit here so I’ll save the rest)
SPEAKING OF WHICH, Sutekh’s return…
In terms of trying to win over new viewers it was a mistake. I saw a lot of people comparing it to Jacobi’s reveal in “utopia” but the major difference is the YANA reveal had more weight to it because it was another timelord. I had no idea who the master was at the time so that didn’t mean anything to me, but him being another time lord who had been set up as all dead is what made the reveal huge to all viewers. Sutekh didn’t have an additional viewpoint like that, yeah he was a god of the pantheon but we’d seen others of them, and just saying Sutekh had no effect on newer viewers. One of my friends who had no classic who knowledge messaged me afterwards and it just said “who the f*ck is Sutekh?” So while I loved the reveal because I knew who Sutekh was, in a season meant to get new viewers it was a MASSIVE mistake
Out of these definitely horror.
I mean cmon, empty child, blink, god complex, the rebel flesh, even things that didn’t quite work like sleep no more still had some good horror atmosphere at least.
But I do agree his greatest strength was his intrigue and larger pictures
