Well, Gallifrey Base is the definitive site but if you think there's a rant/nitpick/insane rambling that hasn't already been posted you'll be in for a surprise.

Oh, I wouldn't be surprised, believe me.

Mind you, my requirements are quite specific. I need a site that accepts only the first 4 and the latest 4 Doctors as canon.

(There were of course other regenerations, but sadly the TV series' made of them were fictional dramatisations, rather than documentaries. Probably loosely based on a memoir of someone who didn't really understand what was going on. Unfortunate that they were made, as it causes confusion, but apparently children enjoyed them).

you would make a quality troll on Gallifrey Base with your line on this. Geek rage would ensue

I think I'd like that.

I may start a Truevian website.

Heretics sometimes call us Octavians, as we currently accept the biographies of 8 serialised Doctors, but that's inaccurate for two reasons. First, there will be further Doctors in the future. Secondly, the 4 Canonical Doctors of Modern Times occasionally refer to events from the Dark Era (of the fictionalised, garbled dramas). There are, we must all accept, true events that took place during this time, but sadly the accounts of them are buried in amongst the confused and inaccurate portrayals we have left to us by the Dark Era dramatists.

The fourth Doctor even refered to events experienced by a fictional time travelling human as though they were his own experiences.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Mistakenly just referred to DW as a "kid's TV show" to a colleague over IM:

It was never a kids' TV show.
It was never made by the children's telly department, it was made by the drama department.
And it was designed for a family audience so adults had to be able to enjoy it too.
Hence the politics and violence that tended to surface every now and then.

Did he mention the Cushing films?

He must have had concussion.

People's Front of Gallifrey?! Fuck off! We're the Gallifreyan's People's Front!

SPLITTERS!

Indeed: Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom is a dark satire regarding the idiocy of the ruler class and their subjugation of the workers to the point where work is all they know. But it's still aimed at my toddler


*it is awesome though*

 

[Lord Camomile]

Stoppit and Tidyup was about the ongoing struggle between capitalism and communism.

 

[CNT36]

When he is interrogated by Davros in The Genesis of the Daleks he mentions the Daleks being beaten by the Earths Magnetic core. That was a Cushing thing.

 

[ginger_syn]

hartnell first, both cushing films were based on the tv show

 

[CNT36]

They were but I'm still right.

 

[danny la rouge]

ginger_syn In the TV version, the Daleks have mined down to the centre of the Earth and are trying to blow out its magnetic core with a bomb. Ian puts some twigs in the way of the bomb, and their plan is foiled (much of Bedfordshire cops it, unfortunately, though).

I can't remember the film, as it was the 70s that I last saw it. But I believe CNT36 is saying that it was the magnetic core of the Earth itself that somehow foiled the Daleks. (Perhaps they stuck to it or something).

 

[DotCommunist]

My favorite fan theory is the retcon of Peter Cushing's Doctor Who... The fellow we see in the movies was actually a Torchwood agent who scavenged together bits of alien technology to build his own TARDIS. He may or may not have suffered a memory fugue similar to that of Jackson Lake in "The Next Doctor" but in any case he assumed the identity of the mysterious Doctor, even to the point of erroneously naming himself with Torchwood's code name "Dr. Who."

hmm

Pretty much the end of Doomsday with the void but with added "Yeah, bitch! Magnets!"

 

[CNT36]

hmm

There's a new adventures novel where he is from the land of fiction (as seen in the mind robber) that is leaking into our reality or some such. He's considerably less morally ambiguous than the Seventh Doctor and see's him as the greatest threat to the universe.

Who is in the wedding dress?

 

[CNT36]

Who is in the wedding dress?

Are you thinking of the Big Bang with Amy's wedding? I mean this with the Daleks and the Cybermen. Basically the Daleks in the Cushing film get pulled into the core and destroyed.

 

[danny la rouge]

I mean this with the Daleks and the Cybermen.

Yes, that. It ends with a random Wedding Dress woman in the Tardis. We come to know her as Donna Noble. (And her grandad was in the Peter Cushing films).

A bit dense today sorry. Yeah, he was in the second one.

Did you just relegate Bernard Cribbins, noted thespian, whose worked with Hitchcock, Sellers, on Fawlty Towers, and is THE VOICE OF THE FUCKING WOMBLES, to Katherine Tate's granddad?
