be thankful and look at yourself
I became aware of this via Facebook and it brought tears to me
This man is truly inspiring and right in what he is saying we get nowhere if we stop trying and flying in the face of adversity
This man is on my wave length
never stop dreaming BIG
Police public call Box now open,sort of
Ok seems are American cousins have there first lot of classic exclusives 4th Dr TARDIS Pilot episode Hartnell and 7th Dr and TARDIS
great at last got to see it
ya know mock up pics are all well and good nothing like what you are getting tho ,and its the 80s box a whole generation me included grew up with this ,like some have the 60s Enterprise or Batmobile as there fave ,
teased indeed little short interview in design works office, lo behold shelf behind there she sat one gorgeous sexy accurate 80s box
designed by someone i can honestly say knows his onions,well done mate, said designer has already in my opinion reached his pinnacle, the crown jewel being the cod stakes TARDIS of 2005 wow that was the ultimate, pricey but dam if i could afford i would
so heres a £40 alternative which compared to £15 standard new series one is dear BUT it is in limited quantities not mass produced , it is for collectors market so ok ill go with it birthday present ordered and
ok er hmmmmmmmm
what happened ?
there is a expression here ,gutted ,indeed i am crushed feels like a low blow
that is not a 80s box ,at a pinch maybe the Newburry refit but that was the late 70s box redressed
were we not promised the 80s TARDIS ?
fibre glass box didn’t have wood grain ? why is the base 3 times thicker than it should be ? what’s with the lamp ? that shade of blue, ok silver nemesis had it as a mistake ,hardly iconic TARDIS blue why is the police box sign caped off ala newbury 80s box was full length im sure the font is wrong as well
what is going on ?,what a piece of junk, inaccurate junk at that
these above statements are matters of undeniable fact , personally i don’t like the big lamp base it needs to be generic 80s TARDIS from 80 to 89 that don’t fit and id like the lock at the bottom and handle further up thats it personally
I feel sorry for the designer his creation twisted into that monstrosity
this is superposed to be a collectors item i expected collectors quality that’s mass produced quick job in chings warehouse £5 tops to make and they want £40 ? we are being taken round the corner and over a financial barrel here ,hat well and truly nailed on
also sadly there is a drop off here, it would seem this “Collectors” range of TARDISes are using same moulds even tho each prop was vastly different in its design , (ala product enterprise one Dalek mould million colour Daleks ) ,just different roof so this is identical to the 4th Dr TARDIS being released where’s the collectable range and quality ? why something cheaply mass made utilising same moulds costing so much ?
I ill tell you why because they can get away with it
Gets better folks CO in there infinite wisdom have not made enough so Underground toys in USA and Forbidden Planet UK cant full fill there orders,(I still cant find wave 2 classic range and i am limited down to one shop Who blackpool to get mine which is expensive with rrp ) so were all going to miss out any way kinda making this entire blog mute /academic as its doubtful (Been pre ordered since it was announced ) i will have one
Charecter options ,i salute you you are a genius
this has nothing to do with CO statement that Doctor Who will be a ten million pound a year license for them, and make all share holders and company execs very happy and the bank manager smiling really, it isn’t you know
I don’t have pet peeves, I have major psychotic fucking hatreds!
“Minority Language: A-Happens To Be; B-Openly; C-Urban; D-Girlfriend”
- “Happens to be.” “He happens to be black.” Like it’s a fucking accident, you know. He happens to be black? Yes, he happens to be black. Ah, yes, yes, yes. He had two black parents? Oh, yes, that’s right, two black parents. And they fucked? Oh, indeed they did. So where does the surprise part come in? I would think it would be more unusual if he just “happened” to be Scandinavian!
- “Minority Language”
- No one is “openly” black. Well, maybe james brown. Or louis farakhan. Louis Farrakhan is openly black. collin powell is not openly black. Colin Powell is openly white. He just “happens to be” black.

Doctor Who
Well i think we are about halfway through ,thoughts?,well it is staying in the “New Adventures” mould that was previously established and there are some changes very little and only slight
Mainly the feeling for me so far is this is a Children’s show ,the 13 and under bracket ,new Daleks aside you can see in the story telling the aim of the show and who there writing for,
each episode is single standalone and defiantly with a child in mind
I don’t think the original series was a children’s show certainly not in the Tom Baker years but this is, so there’s change and that’s healthy and good maybe someday new producer it will be a more adult orientated show Ala Hintchcliffe and Holmes who knows
So far feels like no more than introductions and like we have not got started really ,improvements aplenty the Doctor is spot on nail on the head and the character is well realised in Matt Smith
I found of interest this take on everything new ,maybe new Daleks was step to far but this i feel lies more in poor realisation in design and art department and prop makers ,personally i would of gone strait back to a AARU design something akin to ,the new silurans bare no resemblance to the old so we wait and see what happens with these
Personally i don’t care I’m fortunate enough to be able to just take what i like and leave the rest draw a discreet Vail over it
but it has certainly improved i had faith in Mr Moffet and i think its paying off he is a family man who is running a family show, each episode is new and standalone for the casual viewer to get into and not linked to previous threads tho this has subtly been done
One thing i do disagree and resist is this is same show, the difference is to huge now it would be like comparing the historical docu dramas of the first Doctor to Collin Bakers first season totally different
Improvements proof if needed,well Amy the new companion just unabashedly threw her self at the Doctor this was funny and well done ,not the love sick season long 2 yr love fest sexed up show of RTD or the whole Rose love sick puppy this was good
so its a CBBC show that’s fine i liked the Angel story and look forward to Venice
they made good and bad in the good Ole days ,even the first Dr had good and bad stories admittedly the table got tilted badly towards the end lack of talent ? most definitely lack of budget , who knows but even then there was redeeming features “Curse of Fenric” being one of them
Its all about the quality of the story’s and even RTD era had some, the WW2 empty child gas mask story was good the Dalek story was good and i liked the first Master story with the old Master and then on earth with Simm thats about it realy this time that vibe feel is there which it hasn’t been since Dr7 and Ace
so to give you a slight in site into the current man at the top i leave you this rather interesting frank candid Moffet interview from comic con some 2 years ago,
We wait and see time will tell
