Ik it’s 3 days late but man I still miss Elizabeth Sladen and we all do. Really loved this show as kid and it was so unfortunate it came to an end. FUCK CANCER.

Recently Film is Fabulous held an exclusive webinar stream to their patreon members.

In the livestream, they answered a lot of questions from their patrons, among the questions they answered, they revealed some interesting tidbits.

They are aware of a total of three film collections containing missing Doctor Who. Two of them are from former industry professionals, while the other is not. FIF have been in on-going talks with them to catalogue their collections. The other third collection is a rather very large collection, it is rumored to be around 16,000 films or more.

John Franklin said it contains some historical important television episodes in it that he knows many people would love to see…

Sadly the collector of this collection is in terrible health. The collector’s family is going through a difficult situation, and John is doing his best to give them the time they need and being patient with them.

John is hopeful somewhere way down the line they will have an announcement regarding the collections, but it doesn’t look like it will be anytime soon.

So we are looking at a total of at least 4 missing episodes because we know one of the collection is the man with the two missing Hartnell episodes that have been know about since 2016. Also known as the “Fish Fry Prints”.

Other Interesting tidbits below.

Back in October of last year when FIF stated they were *aware of several collectors with several missing DW episodes.* They were aware of 4 collections, including the collection with the one Dalek’s Master Plan episode they knew at the time.

John also mentioned that the BBC brand Doctor Who team calls him on a weekly basis, asking him for updates on missing Doctor Who episodes.

Poor John Franklin

Made a fan cover! Idea was a more modern David Tennant cover that still pulls some design elements from his era of dvd covers (sparks, space debris etc...)

When William Hartnell left near the start of Season 4 in The Tenth Planet (1966), were any of the stories in Season 4 written for Hartnell? Like I could see him doing The Highlanders and The Underwater Menace. Or were the stories swiftly prepared for Troughton?

I'm determined to watch this series. I'm not sure why I didn't before. I think possibly because it was overwhelming lol.

First episode I'm just giggling that Rose didn't think Mikey looked weird or was swerving everywhere after getting eaten by a trash can😂😂😂 like girl, did you actually know this guy.

How many times did you have to watch Doctor Who before you realised that you had already seen the moment when Captain Jack Harness became immortal? Honestly I was in the dark for quite a while.

It’s been long enough that someone must have heard something from somebody! I’ve been curious since I saw it. The feedback was positive. It’s possible it’s a shill, right?

Do you think when the Doctor comes back, they'll be referred to in merch/press as "Sixteenth Doctor", "Seventeenth Doctor" or something different? Is this possible the end of the numbering of incarnations as we know it and it'll just be the [Actor's name] Doctor, as in the "Hartnell Doctor" or the "Capaldi Doctor"?

I'm curious as to:

• What you THINK will happen; and
• What you'd LIKE to happen.

EDIT: I'm talking about Doctors going forward, I'm not suggesting we stop calling the first 15 Doctors by their numbers. I only gave those two as examples of how the NEXT Doctors might be named in merch/press.

I'm very curious about the 3rd Doctor (and one 2nd Doctor) TV Comic strips which were redrawn with the 4th Doctor's face. However, I'm having trouble digging up these versions of the relevant stories. Does anyone know if images from these strips are available online anywhere? 

To my knowledge, the following strips were redrawn [edited down to the stories I'm looking for]:

• 'The Wanderers' (TV Comic #1199-1203, third Doctor version; TV Comic #1404-1408, fourth Doctor version)
• 'The Metal-Eaters!' (TV Comic #1184-1190, third Doctor version; TV Comic #1409-1415, fourth Doctor version)
• 'Lords of the Ether!' (TV Comic #1191-1198, third Doctor story), renamed 'Moon Exploration' (TV Comic #1416-1423, fourth Doctor story)
• 'The Labyrinth' (third Doctor story, TV Action #120; fourth Doctor story, Doctor Who Winter Special 1977)
• 'The Spoilers' (TV Action #123, third Doctor version; Mighty TV Comic’s Doctor Who Winter Special 1977, fourth Doctor version)
• 'The Threat from Beneath', later retitled as 'Invasion' (third Doctor story, TV Action #112; fourth Doctor story, Doctor Who Winter Special 1977)
• 'The Unheard Voice' (TV Action #131, third Doctor version; TV Comic Holiday Special 1978, fourth Doctor version)
• 'Who Is the Stranger' (TV Action #104, third Doctor version; Mighty TV Comic’s Doctor Who Winter Special 1977, fourth Doctor version).

Thank you!

Just pulled my childhood spin and fly TARDIS out of my storage unit. Threw some fresh weathering on it and repainted the windows and I’m pretty happy with the result. Let me know what you think. Inside has a picture of my homemade childhood console room. Fun to think that version of me is flying April’s in this TARDIS somewhere, seeing the stars🥲

I absolutely hate the fact that all of the main companions that we’ve had over the course of the revival series have come from present day. Not that I haven’t enjoyed those companions but still, I understand that we always need a modern day character to relate to, and I do think it is important to have those companions there, but honestly for a Show about a character travelling through time and space, you’d think by now there would be companions who aren’t from modern times, the only characters that come close are Jack and River Song, but they aren’t really mainline companions. There’s so many interesting characters that the show can be presenting. I’m not trying to write fanfiction, but let’s just imagine:

What if we had a companion that was a bounty Hunter? like Boba Fett from Star Wars, who is inspired to travel and see the universe when his perspective on life is changed by the Doctor.

What if we had a companion that was a a little alien? that starts off being scared but later travels with the Doctor to gain a sense of bravery

What if we had a companion that was an android? That starts off cold in calculative but wants to be more human, so they travel with the doctor to understand the universe more and living creatures

What if we had a companion that was old Doctor from the Victorian era? Someone who is very intelligent and wants to travel and understand the universe before they pass.

What if we had a companion that was a samurai from the 17th century? This person can be a complete psychopath or at least that’s how they start off but as they travel with the Doctor they learn to appreciate life.

There’s so many interest in ideas here. I know this stuff is easier said than done. And it would take a talented writer to get all these ideas to work. But I’m just sick of every companion just being a girl from the 21st century.

These are for my second series that I'm posting to YouTube in a couple weeks. I think I've improved a lot on the ones I did for the first series :)

First time watching

I’m currently finishing up S4 and come to find out- it’s stopped running. What the heck? :/

Does anyone know the fate of this or is it all just sorta up in the air?

I recently saw on Twitter that “this was the reason doctor who ended” or something along those lines and it was a rose doctor. I wouldn’t mind a Rose Doctor, but I guess I say that now as I’m finishing up S4- I’ll revisit this opinion when I’m up to date.

I hope this show gets picked up again so my kids can watch it one day. It’s so old and yet no future feels kinda wrong?

:/

Edit: Thank you everyone for your kind insight!❣️ I’ll definitely look out for that in the next 2-3 years! LOL. I was so unaware of so much I was missing and had yet to watch. I appreciate everyone taking their time to help me.❣️

In this scene Micky points out that's there's a lot death surrounding the Doctor, this is a repeated point from Clive back in Rose when showing Rose the pictures of the Doctor. The Doctor rebuttals with sarcasm.

While this is pretty funny, it's also really sad. Why would The Doctor do something and in fact do it immediately. Because The Doctor doesn't want to reminded of that fact. The Doctor both before and during the Time War was responsible for a lot of death.

I know Aliens of London and WW3 are "you love it or hate it" but i feel this scene is unrated and need more attention : r/doctorwho

adding on this scene from the next episode and the Pig getting shot and The Doctor forced to make tough decision at the end of WW3 and it really comes together.

And by the end of Series 1, The Doctor has to face it again once more and accepts it's the end but we of course that didn't happen.

If you get pass the farting stuff there's a lot meaty subtense in those two stories that helps build the big picture of Series 1's themes and subtexts.

OK, some background if you're unfamiliar/not British: starting back in the Classic Era, and carrying slightly through to NuWho, UK media loved to drop soundbites about Doctor Who being "so scary" that kids would "watch from behind the sofa".

However, in most UK homes, the sofa tends to be right against a wall - there is no "behind" it to watch from! EDIT TO ADD: at least anecdotally - '80s kid here, and neither I nor anyone I knew had a sofa that wasn't against a wall!

So where and how did this cliché originate, over something like, say, "you'd watch it from under the blankets!" or "you'd hide behind a cushion!"?

Im 16 and I realised i dont have any tattoo ideas for doctor who, can anyone help I beg I would prefer it to be Eccleston but if it's Tennant or smith I really dont mind I just desperately want a doctor who related tattoo, btw ive only seen those 3 doctors so far so if you want to give ideas for any of the newer ones go ahead I will hopefully have seen them by the time I get the money and even if you wanna give ideas for some of the older ones thats completely fine I plan on watching those too of course but only after I finish all the new ones o I might not get around to them for a while but regardless just please give me some ideas if you wanna explain your ideas or even draw them that would be an amazing help thank you so much

Had a thought the other day and I realised that from World Enough and Time to The Ghost Monument, The Doctor doesn't actually get a chance to rest. He decides to let Missy lead a mission, some dominos fall leading to the Doctor running through a desert to catch the TARDIS. Are there any other series of episodes that flow into each other so that The Doctor doesn't actually have a chance to stop?

Out of all the companions who died in the show, which one shocked you the most?

Speaking for myself, I always found Adric's death quite shocking. I just wondered what other fans think. I look forward to reading your comments.

And why is it the TARDIS?
