Apparently the bbc have found 106 lost doctor who episodes. That means we should have all pat troughton stories at last. Just thought I'd let fellow geeks know we could be watching fury from the deep or power of the daleks soon.
Does that mean they'll be showing them on the telly? Or putting them on dvds and making us pay? Must confess to going to a Dr Who convention in the 1980s. :)
Probably dvd now every available story has been released. Nothing wrong with conventions. I went to the sfx one a couple years back and met Colin baker and Sylvester McCoy.
Lol. I went dressed up as well. I was 13 at the time (I think?). It was great fun. Even got a pic of me and my friends next to the tardis. :) Amazes me these conventions keep going. Did you get to chat with them?
Yeah I asked Colin baker what it's like signing photos of himself from 25 years ago and told McCoy he was my favourite. I also met Ben aaronovitch in the bar and chatted to him. Now that's geek! What did you dress up as? I must confess I dressed up at the sfx convention as super hoody from misfits.
That's pretty awesome. I get too shy to ask things. I went to a horror convention a few years ago and saw Michael Marshall Smith. He was outside having a ciggy as I was leaving. Could have easily talked to him and he was very approachable. I bought his first book before he became big and have kept up with his books since. But I thought I was going to die from nerves so I left without saying a word!
For the Who convention I dressed up as no one in particular. I had a lovely wedding dress given to me by my friend's grandmother. She'd held onto it for her daughter and then grandaughter, but they both grew to tall for the dress. I'm a midgit, so it fit me. I dyed it purple and coloured my hair and made it mad and puffy (this was the eighties). One of my friends dressed up as Tom Baker and had this far too long scarf that he kept tripping on.
Super hoody, excellent. Loved the first couple of seasons of that but then somehow never caught anymore episodes? The was the last season I saw, the one with super hoody guy.
Years ago I saw john Nathan turner at a book signing on his own in Canterbury. But I was too shy the to say hello. He's the producer of doctor who in the eighties. My big regret.
I loved the super hoody plot. It had a Donnie darko element to it. The last series of misfits wasn't great but they film it in thamesmead where I used to live and I still patrol that area. Always looking for the film crew there. Maybe I could get in shot lol
Grover - that is the best news I've had all week! My Doctor mad family will be ecstatic! - Especially my 11 year old grandson Jack who has a 4 foot Dalek in his bedroom and knew all the names, dates and details of all the doctors before he was 8! And McCoy was my personal favourite until David Tennant came along.
It's funny when I was at school I knew everything about doctor who but it wasn't cool back then. It appears to be now. McCoy is still my favourite. Hate hate tenant.
Bbanyard - I am wondering if that play was Baker reading the story of State of Decay about three vampires stranded on a planet and exploiting the primitives there... I had that on cassette tape!
The orginal story is out on DVD - it's a classic. If it's the one you're thinking off, it's got the great tower that's really a rocket with a great vampire living in the caverns beneath... creepy stuff.

Oh and your confession makes you even more impressive :)

Poor Colin didn't have much of a chance. He basically got told to leave before his doctor could develope. He's also a lovely chap in real life.
