  1. Social media superfans are ruining TV by Gareth Roberts.
    Once-great shows, such as Doctor Who and Star Trek, are spoilt by TV execs who ignore rank-and-file viewers #drwho #scifi telegraph.co.uk/tv/2026/05/10/

  2. I really should sit down with the #DoctorWhoMovie, again.

    Why … ?

    Because of the #EricRoberts version of the #Master.

    #Delgado and #Ainley played the Master as a #GentlemanVillain

    #Simm, #Gomez and #Dhawan as #DrWho’s version of the #Joker.

    #Roberts? Played him as a #thug …

  7. We've reached Pertwee's era in our #DrWho journey. While Troughton's Doctor often convinced adversaries to underestimate him though childish bumbling, Pertwee's feels like he wouldn't suffer his previous self gladly: he has no time for that shit. We've just seen what feels like the first real instance of universal compassion & bigger-picture thinking in Who up to now: upon his first face-to-face encounter with a Silurian (teased in last episode's cliffhanger), despite the fact it's just killed a key character his first impulse is to offer his hand and ask how he can help.

    It's good to see the Brig return as a regular character, and Liz Shaw is a fantastic companion, assertive & independent, & routinely treated as an equal by the Doctor. She feels like the first true female *companion*, as opposed to *assistant*. It's not perfect by modern standards, but easy to see it as a 1970's version of 'woke'. I wonder how many people were angered by it at the time?

  9. What's your favourite #DrWho villain?

  10. Watching #DrWho from the beginning update: We've reached Spearhead from Space. New Doctor (in chaotic new Doctor mode)! New Liz Shaw! New Autons! Returning Lethbridge-Stewart! COLOUR! Also what looks like higher production values! And an alien that looks a lot like an anus.

  12. Nach all den den zerstörten Fandoms wie #StarTrek und #DrWho dürfen wir die Hoffnung auf gute Unterhaltung nicht aufgeben. Es gibt sie noch.
    #Scrubs hat mit seinem Reeboot alles richtig gemacht und zeigt wie es geht.

  13. Here’s an old acrylic sketch of Mavic Chen (played by Kevin Stoney) from The Daleks' Master Plan

  14. Watched the first three episodes of the #Daleks Master Plan back-to-back.

    I enjoyed seeing #NicholasCourtney 's first on-screen appearance in #DoctorWho. Unfortunately Bret Vyon's story arc remains incomplete — the character dies in still-missing episode 4.

    #SpecialEffects and model shots were pretty good for the 1960s but not referenced at all in the end credits.

  18. Our classic Who journey sees us following the 2nd Doctor through The War Games. A great story with twists, turns & surprises, smooth exposition, & relatively diverse casting for the time.

    One of many enjoyments to be had watching early Who is spotting actors you already know from elsewhere.

    Here, we have General Smythe, played by Noel Coleman, who'd later play the Cat Priest in Red Dwarf's Season 1 episode Waiting For God.

    We're watching the serialised b&w version, but I see there's also a colourised, feature-lengthed arrangement that we probably won't skip.

  19. I added a background. I like seeing the progress. I am now thinking about how to fix values, and the detailing on the weapons. I do rather enjoy what I've done with it this far.

  20. Some words about the thought process that went into the development of Broken Spark, Chapter 9: on the nature of ship computer interfaces in the far future. Review of Dr Who, Blakes Seven, Star Trek, Knight Rider, the books of Iain M. Banks...

  21. This is the latest draft.

    It is less drastic of a change than the last time.

    I've been struggling with perspective.

    I plan to work on the backdrop next.

  23. Lost #DoctorWho episodes found in 'eclectic' collection

    Isaac Ashe and Simon Ward, March 12, 2026

    Excerpt: "A cardboard box found in a collector's 'ramshackle' collection of vintage films contained two episodes of Doctor Who that have not been viewed since airing in the 1960s.

    "The episodes feature the first incarnation of the Doctor, played by #WilliamHartnell, tackling a #Dalek plan to take over Earth, the solar system and the galaxy in a storyline only ever shown in the UK.

    "#PeterPurves, who played the Doctor's assistant Steven Taylor, was invited to the Phoenix Cinema in Leicester on Wednesday under false pretenses to view the two episodes, and he said: 'My flabber has never been so gasted.'

    "Restored versions of the episodes will be released on BBC iPlayer this Easter."

  33. *Absurd inter-franchise weekend poll time…*

    There seems to be a trend for our favourite scifi franchises towards ***adorable-but-horrific-creatures*** featuring rounded faces, huge eyes and big mouths full of sharp and nasties.

    We’ve been discussing this over at Quark’s Bar at StarTrek.website on Lemmy, but a poll here sounds like an idea too.

    Please boost after voting to increase the reach. :packetcat_wink:

    You can check out photos in the Lemmy posts here…
