Hey!



Just keeping with the title of this forum, I watched "Day of the Daleks" the other day (just to remind myself how bad it was )

and noticed a funny blooper:



You see Nicholas Courtney (the Brigadier) running with The Doctor and other UNIT troops in Part One when they discover a wounded guerilla - and, well, the Brig didn'r 'run' - he stumbled all over the place. It looked like he was very drunk (nearly fell over Jon Pertwee!!!!!!!)

Day of the Daleks wasnt THAT bad!!



I prefer that over Destiny of the Daleks anyday.

I never thought much of Destiny or Douglas Adams as a script editor until I read Andrew Pixley's Archive in DWM. Terry Nation was going to invent yet another fictional element to explain why the Daleks came back for Davros. Adams changed it so what they were after in Davros' chair was Davros himself, with the very Adamsian touch of the two space fleets locked in strategic limbo.



Both have gone up in my estimation.

I think some of the Dalek stories are over rated just vecaude they are dalek stories.

On that point, I thought that Revelation of the Daleks was one of the few highpoints of the Colin Baker era.



A very witty Robert Holmes script, with some very dark themes and good acting all around.

oops, what am I saying?



I meant  a very witty Eric Saward script, not Robert Holmes!



I''ll force myself to watch the Horns of Nimon 5 times as punishment!!!!

No! Don't do that to yourself!

You're not that bad!



Hey!

I've got another blooper - Tegan in "Logopolis". Part 3 or 4 - she's going about in the TARDIS and thinks that the console has a microphone - says her line twice. The first time she says: "My name is Teg.....Jov", then she says "My name is Tegan Jovanka........"

(The slip up is VERY noticable!)



........and with such a great stroy as "Logopolis", you'd think they'd try to polish Tom Baker's swansong with some good editing.

Long live 'The Chase'

And also I hate Logopolis

logopolis they way the master keep srinking people reminded me of a horror film a saw on TV as a kid, so every time I think og Logopolis I think of this horror film.

Logopolis was a very fine swansong for the Baker era, although I think it was hampered somewhat by the over production of my old friend JNT.



But at least it had some substance to it, which is  more that can be said for most of the JNT stories that came afterwards.

Shrinking people! There's Dr Cyclops, a colour film from 1940. Attack of the Puppet People, a Roger Corman nasty from 1958.



And my favourite, Dr Shrinker from The Krofft Super Show.

are we going to see some episodes from series 2 in the next General Meeting? 20/5

I'd expect so (as I havn't seen them yet myself!).

If we do, can we watch them on the big screen - with volume? please?

YAH The Giant TV
