Telltale Games

I really like the new outfit there. I think it's the pocket watch.

"I wear a pocket watch now. Pocket watches are the shit."

Friar · 03/07/2013, 05:22 am

I love the new costume, but I'm not a fan of the fact that no costume seems to last longer than about 6 episodes (barring The first series). It just seems to me to be a cheap attempt to create more toys (like having so many coloured Daleks). This is Matt's 5th Costume now, it's starting to get a little ridiculous. I hope he settles with it.

I like the fact that the costume is Victorian-esque, which is similar to the first doctor. The fact that this is the anniversary year was probably the driver behind that. So I excpect we'll have another costume in the next season, and maybe even a new doctor, who can keep his pants on* for a longer stint.

Spoiler for rest of season re:costume He finally changes back into tweed after finally getting over the Ponds in Episode 13

Alcoremortis · 03/07/2013, 08:03 am

I kinda like this particular one more than the others. It just looks classy.

Agreed. It has a Willy Wonka vibe to it, which is nice, but it isn't over the top.

Doctor Who pointless is on Later this month, or as Radio Times amusingly put it, "Pointless Doctor Who reunion."

From left to right: Ace, Jamie, Peri, Leela, Wilf, Jake Simmonds, Dr. Who #7, Sylvia Noble, Whizzkid, Mr. Smith

*Vainamoinen* · 03/11/2013, 11:52 am

Oh, there was a troubled young companion who loved to blow up shit!

Interesting.

Friar · 03/11/2013, 12:12 pm

I'm rather ashamed to admit that on first glance I recognised precisely none of those actors by their faces (I just assumed that it was just a generic photo from an average show). Which is odd, because individually I recognise them all.

Also, nicola Bryant looks a lot like my first school teacher...

*Vainamoinen* · 03/11/2013, 12:28 pm

Wilfred was the first I recognised. Not having watched anything before 2005, I'd naturally pull a blank on most of these faces. Not even Sylvia Noble rang a bell, but that's just because there's no scene on the show in which she's smiling.

Friar · 03/11/2013, 12:46 pm

There's 3 companions there that are responsible for (or at least present for) a Doctor's Death. Now there's a pointless fact for you.

Also, I've never seen the show. I'm just going to assume it's like numberwang, because I saw the thread in Forum Games, and consequently spent an hour today watching videos about it. ¬_¬

*Darth Marsden* · 03/11/2013, 01:01 pm

I could explain the rules of Pointless, but really, do you care?

It's a bit like Family Fortunes, only instead of trying to get an answer that lots of random people gave in a survey, you're trying to get an answer that NOBODY gave. The fewer people who gave the answer, the less points you score. Since the lower score wins in this show, the ideal answer is one that nobody gave in the survey, which means you are 'pointless'.

Ribs · 03/11/2013, 01:04 pm

And it has to be correct, too. You can't just say "cumquats!" to every single question.

It's a good show, nothing special though.

You could just keeping saying 42. It is the answer to everything after all.

The biography of John Nathan-Turner is due out in May, and the first review's now available.

The big news? He may or may not have used his position as Producer of Doctor Who to sleep with younger (apparently over the age of consent, however) fans of the show.

So, anybody else getting ready to be disappointed about the 50th Anniversary of "Star Trek"? Only a couple of years to go!

coolsome · 03/12/2013, 09:23 am

Rule 1.

*Vainamoinen* · 03/12/2013, 09:27 am

Huh. Public denial wherever you go.

Gag order or license to lie only hope - and the complete info hiatus on any DW50 news IS somewhat omnious.

Not that with a crazy bit of money and excellent writers, a 50th anniversary special couldn't be extraordinary WITHOUT all the cameo crazyness. But having just been disappointed quite a bit by Season 6, I kind of doubt that they have either at their disposal.

Friar · 03/12/2013, 10:08 am

I really can't see them not being involved in someway. What's the point in an anniversary if you don't look back at everything that got you to that point? I know Moffat has said that he wants it to be about looking forward, but Rule:1 will hopefully apply.
