[who45]

NQ. What did the X-ray on the skull that Professor Fendelman had show?

[grinner]

Wasn't it a pentagram?

[who45]

yes it was.

[grinner]

Cha-Ching. Where is my bling-bling prize. Oh wait... this isn't that type of game.

NQ. With what was the Meddling Monk going to shoot the viking fleet?

[who45]

Mmmm...I'm going to have to think on this one. I'll have to answer it later.

[who45]

Was it atomic bazookas?

[who45]

?

[grinner]

yes it was. Sorry... I had some people over. I am now dog sitting Shadow again. Pain in my emma this dog is.

[who45]

No problem. Just wasn't sure if the thread was lost,lol. At least you get to have Shadow for some company. I just found out today I'm probably going to have to put my cat to sleep. She's been diagnosed with lymphoma. I've had her for 11 years. That really sucks. First my Dad has cancer and now my cat. A cat for crying out loud. OK, I'm done now *sigh*.

NQ. Where were Teagan and her Aunt her Vanessa going when they had a flat tire?

[grinner]

I have a friend who cat just died from feline lukemia... I am sorry about your cat. And for you Dad. What is the prognosis for your father? Is he in chemo? That really sucks.

A. I think they were on their way to the Airport for Tegan's first day as a stewardess.

[who45]

This is my Dad's second time with colon cancer. He found out three days before Christmas. He started chemo in December and just finished it four weeks ago. He'll have surgery this Tues. to get rid of anything left of the tumor. They said his prognosis looks pretty good, but of course they wont know for sure. He has a great outlook though and through this whole thing he can still make you laugh. In my family, if you don't have a good sense of humor, you're doomed,lol.

[who45]

Oh, your answer was right.

[grinner]

Wow... sometimes I am very happy that cancer does not run in my family. Heart disease, diabetes and some others... but no cancer... other than skin cancer from the relatives that are farmers.

[grinner]

NQ. From where did the Vardens come? And why were they interested in taking over Galifrey?

[who45]

[who45]

The Vardans come from Varda. I think they were used by the Sontarans to invade Gallifery. When the Doctor traps the Vardens, that left it open for the Sontaran's to invade?

(Monarch believed himself to be God.)


I know... it is cheating.

NQ. What were the citizens of Sarn called when they didn't believe in the god Logar? And what typically happened to them?

NQ. Who was the leader of the Pipe People?

I'll have to get back to you on the answer to your question.

[who45]

Tell me about it! Since we've been playing this game, I've re-watched over half of the ones I have on DVD and VHS. I have about 70 so It's kept me busy.

[grinner]

It also is making me hate corporate decisions even more. If corporate politics hadn't gotten in the way... And if the BBC would have let John Nathan-Turner leave and have someone else be the Producer... the Doctor could still be on the air.

I agree! There were other great producers before John Nathan-Turner. Don't get me wrong, I thought he did a great job and he was a very smart man, but I'm just saying that if the BBC had let him leave then they could have found someone just as good. It's so frelling not fair!:mad:

interesting article about JNT
_________________________
Doctor Who has, or can appear to have, no creator. Sure, the story of how the show came to be is there for anyone who wants to unearth it, but it consists mostly of a sketchy concept ungloriously shuttled from one BBC executive to the next, and there is no one person who could stand on a convention stage and proclaim, as Gene Roddenberry liked to do with Star Trek, that no character or story officially "became" Doctor Who until he or she said it did. Except maybe John Nathan-Turner.

The show's longest running — and final — producer, Nathan-Turner may not have created Doctor Who, but he assumed command of it at one of its lowest creative points and stayed with it until the end 10 years later. In the process, he assumed a role in the minds of Doctor Who fans no producer had ever achieved before; from his loud Hawaiian shirts to his gentle demeanor, fans felt they knew John Nathan-Turner—even when they thought he was ruining the program they loved.
Nathan-Turner had worked on the series for years before being appointed its producer in 1979. Entering its 18th season, Doctor Who's audience as well as its creativity was lagging alarmingly from its peak of just a few years before, when actor Tom Baker and producer Phillip Hinchcliffe led the show to an explosion of popularity and critical acclaim. Hinchcliffe had been gone for years, replaced by Graham Williams, who used liberal doses of silliness to paper over the violence he had been ordered to excise from the program, and Baker was becoming impossible— his performances grew broader and more comic every week, and no one before or behind the camera had the strength to rein him in. As he took over from Williams, Nathan-Turner laid down the law: no more tripping over scarves, no more chewing the scenery, and try to stick to the lines more or less as they're written. He wanted to purge all traces of campiness from the series, and the new writers he brought in were told to keep their dialogue witty (but not silly) and their ideas grounded in harder science. The resulting stories were subtle, clever, a little dry, but above all, serious. And nobody tripped over scarves or talked to mechanical dogs any more.

Baker never recovered. He ambles through his final season morose and slightly stunned, seeming to hide within a new, elaborately tailored costume the like of which no Doctor had ever worn before. His replacement was Peter Davison, the first actor to play the Doctor who was young enough to have watched the show as a child. Doctor Who under Davison and Nathan-Turner was serious about itself and its history, and strove to simultaneously break new thematic ground while maintaining continuity with almost two decades' worth of backstory. A goal this ambitious could never be achieved perfectly every time, but Nathan-Turner came admirably close. He introduced new complexity into the thankless role of the Doctor Who assistant: they still got into trouble and asked "What's that, Doctor?" a lot, but they also bickered with each other and complained when the Doctor ignored or patronized them. The Doctor himself displayed a new vulnerability, a lack of assuredness that sometimes had dire consequences. The violence in Nathan-Turner-era Who is graphic and disturbing, not for its goriness but for the way it unfailingly depicts the tragic loss that violence always entails. This was never more apparent than in the story "Earthshock," in which the Doctor's young companion Adric dies in an explosion on a spacecraft while the Doctor and companions Nyssa and Tegan watch helplessly. First Nyssa and then Tegan collapse into sobs; the Doctor is too overcome to speak, but his expression of sickened guilt says enough. It is the most moving scene of any Doctor Who story.

Nathan-Turner made plenty of blunders over his 14-year stewardship, taking chances that damaged the show and ultimately led to its demise. The Colin Baker era was a disaster, from its unlikeable leading man and his ghastly costume to scripts that were turgid and boring, and Nathan-Turner earns the lion's share of the blame. Baker was dumped and Nathan-Turner tried to start over with Sylvester McCoy, with whom he hoped to restore the sense of playfulness and mystery he had downplayed for most of the previous decade. Again he mis-stepped, launching McCoy in a season of overly whimsical stories that further wore down the audience's patience. At the last moment he redeemed himself with the finest creation of his era: Ace. Young, moody and with a troubled past, Ace was arguably the most fully realized companion ever to walk alongside the Doctor, and the chemistry between the two of them was dramatic in and of itself. At McCoy's behest, the scripts began to explore the mysterious dark corners of the Doctor's past, and the show looked primed for another popular revival when it was thrown into permanent hiatus by the BBC. Nathan-Turner, whose long- standing threats to resign had become a running joke for fans, suddenly found that his bosses had made his decision for him.

The abrupt end of Doctor Who left Nathan-Turner in a curious position. In a decade that had seen the show undergo tumultuous change, he had been the one constant—Doctors had come and gone, but John Nathan-Turner had been there throughout, only getting off the bus once it had nowhere left to go. He had become, to those in the know, as recognizable a figure as the actors themselves; newspapers and fan magazines frequently ran location photos of a grinning Nathan- Turner arm-in-arm with whoever happened to be playing the Doctor that month, with the curious implication that they were somehow of equal importance—that you should care about this pudgy guy in the loud shirt just as much as you did about the Doctor.

Doctor Who has lost its best figurehead, and one of its biggest fans. Like the fictional hero he nurtured so doggedly, he could be brilliant one moment, short-sighted and frustrating the next. For all his faults, though, you forgave him, because you knew how much he cared. If the rumors prove true and Doctor Who does return to television next year, the next producer will have a formidable legacy of dedication and longevity to live up to; he or she will have to earn not just the respect of the fans but their affection, as Nathan-Turner did over those long, combative years.

NQ. Who was Wrack and in what circumstance did the Doctor met her?

[who45]

A. She was an Eternal (I think that's what they were called) and she was the captain of one of the ships in the race for Enlightment. She was working for the Black Guardian and was destroying other ships that were wining, which she tried to destroy the ship that the Doctor, Tegan, and Turlough were on.

NQ. Who was Brock and his assistant Klout?

[grinner]

googled this one.

BROCK, AUGUSTUS Earth tour agent who represented Argolis' interests. He and his lawyer, Klout, were impersonated by members of the West Lodge Foamasi, who tried to pressure Mena to sell the Leisure Hive to the Foamasi. Brock was finally exposed by a Foamasi Investigator. He later escaped, but his ship was blown up by the Argolins

I remember when BBc announced Peter Davison as the next Doctor. I was kind of shocked because I used to watch him on All Creatures Great and Small. I missed Tom Baker, but after a few episodes I began to like Peter as the Doctor as well. Now Colin Baker was another story. I never cared for him. Sylvester McCoy I didn't like in the roll at first, but he grew on me.

[grinner]

Why not liking Colin. For the scripts that he was given... he did a marvelous job. He is the one that successfully managed to save the Doctor the first time it was cancelled... and for his reward... a cut down 2nd/3rd season and a boot to the door. This was when JNT was trying desprately to get away from Doctor Who... this is also the begining of the end of mature scripts... after this, the BBC successfully managed to tame the Doctor.
Damn you BBC... damn you to hell.

[who45]

I guess I should say it's not Colin Baker himself, it's just the way he was told to portray the Doctor. He was so arrogant. I know it was because his regeneration went wrong and later on in the series he did mellow out, but I just did not care for him.

[who45]

Plus you do have to admit, the outfit had to go,lol. But that's not why I didn't care for him. I'd never judge someone by how they dressed.

[grinner]

There had to be a clean break. Davison was never a strong Doctor. Tom Baker became THE DOCTOR for to many people. Towards the end of TB's run... there was a lot of antipathy from the BBC with regards to Doctor Who. There needed to be a clean break. Tom Baker was originally supposed to do a few more episodes in 1980... but it wasn't to be. Peter Davison was very hesitant about being the Doctor. He did NOT want to be associated for all time as one of the DOCTOR'S. I honestly don't think his heart was totally in it. Then, after he was offered a 4th season and after he rejected it... the Writers had to do something in order to save the show. The BBC was already talking about cancelling the show. They needed a Strong Doctor. The first season of Colin Baker was amazing storywise. Excellent plots... everything... then the BBC cancelled it. It was the begining of the end. The BBC didn't want Doctor Who to be a show for adults... they wanted a strong childrens show. But the Doctor wasn't a strong childrens show. It wasn't drawing the audience the BBC wanted... so they killed it. Then 1 season later... it was brought back... but then only lasted 4 more. Politics.

ravolox incident
The Time Lords, horrified to discover that the Matrix had been compromised, discovered that a group of Andromedans had gone into hibernation on Earth with the stolen secrets. Anxious not to let this transgression be known, the High Council ordered the destruction of Earth by moving the planet and a portion of its solar system across the universe, renaming the planet Ravolox. The High Council then arranged a second trial for the Doctor, shifting the blame for Earth's destruction onto him. After the High Council were exposed and overthrown, Earth and the surrounding space were returned to their rightful place.

Look at how many had never even heard of Blake's 7 before we started to discuss it in this forum. What a loss.
