Dr Who Specials

[RitaLittlewood]

They should be done under the trades description act for that 'night' tonight. Dr Who 1 hour and 40 mins would be a better description! Pity the doc was the same as December 2003. The 10 min thing disappointingly didn't feature Anthony Ainley's Master. Yes, Roger was THE Master. But Ant did okay considering the crap scripts he had to work with. I wish he was alive. He'd have a few things to say about that. Most notably his usual, "There's no accounting for taste" like when he wasn't invited to Panopticon! LOL! God, I miss that man. Anyway, he's the Dawn Acton of DW and being airbrushed. How mean is that? He hasn't even been dead a year.

Mastermind was good but I have a feeling it was fixed so Karen could win. I couldn't help noticing there was no mention of her being current editor of the Celestial Toyroom (the Dr Who Appreciation Society mag), only that she organised conventions.

Don't forget the one on BBC1 next Saturday at 5.25pm.

I found it amazing that the budget for one episode at the beginning, was only £2000. No wonder they used a sink plunger for the Daleks main weapon. ;D ;D

They were very resourceful in those days though, weren't they? When I saw the meat tenderiser in The Two Doctors, I said, "We've got one of those sink plungers". LOL! The Beeb were mean with money so it's amazing anything was half-decent on the show at all.
