Also thought this was reasonably good. Absolutely no mention of the Timeless Child garbage.

It's still Canon and happened. Russell confirmed as much in a recent interview I saw. He isn't undoing anything, apart from Davros.

Makes a mockery of Davros though and totally changes him to be fully able bodied.

Can't have a guy in a wheelchair as the bad guy huh? Despite it being due to the fact he was kept alive artificially long past his due date as a barely animated corpse with one scarcely working arm

Yeah RTD doesn't want to upset amd offend wheelchair users. So decided Davros is now able bodied.

Beyond a joke.

Anyway Happy 60th Anniversary. BBC4 tonight have the new colourised 75 edit of the Daleks.

Also on the actual 23rd on BBC4 is a new 75 minute feature length cut of The Daleks(the first appearance)its also been colourised. They also recorded new music for it too.

but Davros was able bodied when he was that age

He designed the dalek casing based off of his chair though. He already had his accident by the time this even happened. RTD has totally reconned Davros and his disabilities.

So it’s still dog pump then?

Well we don't know what the actual show will be like till Saturday. Just a silly thing Russell did for Chilren in Need.

I still enjoyed Jodie's run. I know not everyone did.

Yeah that's what equality and representation is really all about, only certain people are allowed to represent certain things.

Or if you're Peter Dicklage for example, only he was allowed to play certain roles after he made a fortune at it, and then pulled the ladder up.

TBF he wouldn't have to pull it it much

that maybe the Disney+ distributors influence - what did they reputedly do with Snow White etc.

Kilt sounds like he is only appropriating his legitimate ethnicity - so, that's OK

I'm actually looking forward for tonight's episode.

Feek · 25 Nov 2023 at 18:29

Here we go.

Wow, that's one ****** off furby.

Stumble Bum · 25 Nov 2023 at 19:28

Well that was awful.

Armageus · 25 Nov 2023 at 19:35

Tennant was great as expected but that's about it imo

The token wokeness is still unfortunately a thing

Talk about a box ticking exercise, took the enjoyment out of it for me. Non Binary gender nonsense.

200sols · 25 Nov 2023 at 19:44

Binary... non binary :cry:

Pigeon_Killer · 25 Nov 2023 at 20:09

Terrible. Abysmal writing, the actor that plays Rose had less personality than a piece of cardboard and the voices for all of the aliens sounded like they were recorded by random people on the street.

silvagti · 25 Nov 2023 at 20:11

+1 That was shockingly bad! The writers should be shot!

What a waste of David Tenant's talent and screen presence.
