Well, the rumor mills are firing on all cylinders today. Supposedly, we're going to find out the identity of the next Doctor as early as tomorrow... err, I guess today over in the UK... stupid time zones...
Is the Key to Time any good? Cos its a lot if it isnt.
It's ok. It was my second Doctor Who DVD, so I haven't watched a lot of it in a while; but I remember "The Armageddon Factor" being fairly slow. None of it will probably blow you away, but it's fun if nothing else.

I've only seen it the once all the way through, but three of the serials were pretty good. The first and last were both "meh". It's definitely worth watching, because it introduces the black guardian, and it was Romana I's only season.

My long chat about Binro a few pages back will make more sense after you see the Ribos Operation which is of course the most perfect quintessentially Doctor Who story ever
I've seen all that season except "The Stones of Blood" and "The Power of Kroll". Apparently "Kroll" is like "The Caves of Androzani" with a rubbish monster added. Bearing in mind that I'm one of the minority who think Peter Davison's last story is, with a couple of brief moments as exceptions, very boring, that's not really a recommendation.
In other news, Moffat's denial about casting of the next Doctor isn't actually inconsistent with the rumour that kickstarted this whole weekend kerfuffle -
I've been hearing this rumour for a couple of months, Coolsome (and everybody else). I'd love it to be true.... but..... these rumours generally turn out to be rubbish.
What odds that one person would have all that stuff? (and why not, say, anything else particularly)
What odds that it'd be found for the 50th Anniversary, of all dates?
What odds that they'd actually broadcast any of these things anyway?!!
I'd like it to be true. And that's all I want to say about it.
So here's something hilarious. No offence to Karen, but she does NOT have the chest for an outfit like that.
Neither do I, but I would gladly wear it to star in the film.
Okay, maybe not gladly...
And It wouldn't surprise me if they did have one or two serials complete that they haven't mentioned. But I doubt they'd air them, when the DVDs make them so much money.

There was a missing episode searcher who's spent years in Africa claiming he wouldn't tell anyone if he found anything until he was sure he had searched every archive that had not yet been searched and all that. This would fill out most of the requirements as to why it's only surfacing now of all times.
...Why would episodes to a British show be in Africa in the first place? That's like looking for Egyptian artifacts in the Himalayas.
Because they were sent there to be broadcast on regional networks in the 60s and 70s. Problem being they only had one or two copies at any given time for most stories (but Marco Polo is the oddball, as it had something like 7 copies (times 7 episodes = 49 possibilities of finding something) and not a single one has been found despite the odds against it)
Apparently there are no plans for a movie of "The Minister of Chance". I think Crowdsourcing just jumped the shark.
I mean, seriously? Was there no other "Doctor Who" spinoff they could have done? "Vorg the Magnificent, the Early Years"? "The Stormageddon Chronicles"? "New Adventures of Adric"? "Jeremy Fitzoliver & Company"? "Ben Chatham Lives"?!!
Oh, and...
Give me a "B"!
Give me an "Ollocks!"
What does it spell?
The review of "Man of Steel" in the Sunday Telegraph makes the film sound like somebody's been reading "Doctor Who" novels. Apparently Jor-El and his wife have to send their son away from Gallifrey - sorry, Krypton - because all children are supposed to be loomed (I mean, created artificially). All we need now is for Superman to spend time in a telephone box.....

It also had a useless "high council" who wore dumb clothes.
What would be a good 8th Doctor audio to listen to that I don't need to know a lot of Big Finish history. I only saw the crappy movie and don't know much else about 8.
I haven't listened to many of his audios, but I'd recommend the first solo one they did with him, Storm Warning.
It's a good introduction to him on audio and introduces one of my favourite companions, Charley.

I second this choice it's an early audio, so there isn't' much big finish history at all. Plus as Marsden said, it was Paul's first. It's also something that I don't think would've worked well as an actual TV episode. I would say pick Storm Warning and "The chimes of midnight" up. The latter references the former a fair amount, but is a fan favourite. It remains my favourite in the main range anyway.
says precisely nothing. One has to assume that the BBC have, at the very least, got an idea that some canisters MAY exist that they MAY be able to get their hands on that MAY contain something that MAY be pretty good - because if that statement is their attempt at damage limitation on a completely false story, it's possibly the most stupid thing they could have said short of "the DVD is already in the shops"

LOL i feel that way about most of the choices people want/ use in meme's or pick your fave out of these pics that a being posted..
It's a whole season. If you like Tom Baker, though, you'll like the Key to Time.

Badly-written article over at Kasterborous

This really only makes sense if (Kasterborous genuinely believe) the rumours are true...

This would fill out most of the requirements as to why it's only surfacing now of all times.
Well most Egyptian artifacts are in England..
Which would be a sensible place to look for them, rather than the Himalayas. Never said that Egypt would be a good place to look for them. XD
Does this count as racist? Because I like Africans. Especially Giraffes.
Because they were sent there to be broadcast on regional networks in the 60s and 70s.
