It’s Doctor Who tradition for actors to play different roles

I think the problem with the ‘bunch of returning characters/dartboard’ approach of Once and Future is that there isn’t any ‘logical’ reason for those characters to be brought together - anniversary or not.
The Five Doctors is a ‘bunch of returning characters’ but there is logic in how they come together and interact. Other anniversary specials have that internal logic as well. Once and Future doesn’t have any internal logic.
I know (or at least hope) they didn’t put all the various characters in a hat and draw out four or five at random but that’s what every episode feels like and I’d argue the most successful instalments are the ones where the randomness is either better disguised (Artist at the End of Time) or actually has some logic involved (Genius for War) as oppose to the ones where there’s hardly any good reason for the characters to be thrown together (Two’s Company is the worst example of this with Jackie, Lady Christina, Harry Sullivan and the Two but Time Lord Immemorial comes close and I’m worried Coda looks just as bad with the random selection involved).
(Also wondering whether we need a dedicated thread for Once and Future)

Probably wouldn’t hurt to have one.

Someone’s been a bit cheeky…
Seeing as Ian Levine is using A.I. to reimagine old Doctor Who stories, it seemed only fair to use A.I. to reimagine his theme tune to K9 and Company.

That looks very pretty. Though I have been mostly disappointed by these books so far.
Interesting that it states:
You’ll learn how […] how to avoid disturbing dangerous faeries (distances measured in yards) […]
Regarding 73 Yards.

Would not be the first time. I have not seen any Star Trek at all.

Something had to happen though with the rather heavy handed reference in Space Babies…

RUBY: But we’re indoors. We got through walls. Ah-ha. Is that like a matter transporter, like in Star Trek?
DOCTOR: We’ve got to visit them one day.
I really got the feeling that the way they delivered those lines pointed towards something happening.

This sounds like it could be an interesting talk. Hope that it gets available on the Internet for the rest of us.

I feel like this thread was once “free for all” meaning talk about anything you want (non-Who) but is now becoming a “news” thread which is not really what it was meant for…

I mean, if we just wait a few days, it’ll drift back to politics. The Republican National Convention starts on the 15th.
