The Doctor Who Thread

[Susan Foreman]

Apparently there s going to be a new (proper?) trailer this evening at 8:00pm

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

The trailer gives nothing away that we haven't seen or known about already.

That small trailer looks better than anything we got in the Whittaker era. It makes me want to watch it.

I do like the fact they've gone with the original series 1-4 titles in the trailer.

Along with seasons 11-17 in the original series it's by far my favourite.

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

The TARDIS Tuner which was basically a radio. One of the must have Doctor Who gadgets of 1979.

I never owned one.

It was advertised in the comic strip 'Doctor Who And The Turgids' in issue 2 of 'Doctor Who Weekly'

Fact: Doctor Who was responsible for the BBC's first merchandising boom!

Yes but not with the TARDIS Tuner.

I remember that strip / ad. Turgid summed up the Tuner quite aptly.

Going off the strip it seems Romana regenerated into someone else prior to becoming the Astra look a like. Because that doesn't look remotely like Mary Tamm or Lala Ward. It amuses that she nods off when the Doctor is showing off his toy.
