Anya ,'Dirty Girls'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
With a lookalike standing in for Hartnell.
Which was an all-time casting coup rivalling that of getting Shelly Duvall to play Olive Oyl in Popeye. Richard Hurndall was so spot-on in his imitation of Hartnell that it seriously spooked Carol Ann Ford, the actress who'd played the Doctor's granddaughter Susan.
And Baker's too old to look at all like the character.
Both Bakers. Colin got old and fat, Tom just got old.
Seriously, the only three Doctors still able to play the part looking roughly the right ballpark are Eight, Nine and Ten. Of course, it's genius that all the characters live on in the audio plays.
Oddly, Sylvester McCoy is the same age as Colin Baker.
In other, Doctor Who news, I'm planning on getting the DVDs. But I was wondering, does anyone know if the DVDs that go on sale in the US will have the three minutes per epidsode that were cut for the US SciFi broadcast?
From a couple of days ago, but region 1 DVD's are available at amazon.ca, but they are pricey!
The MI-5 dvds released with the extra footage so I assume that the Dr Who dvds will be the same. It was interesting to see the extra footage in the MI-5 dvds, because it was mostly little character stuff, but it showed that some of the character stuff that A&E showed wasn't as random as it seemed.
Man. I just watched "The Parting of the Ways" again, and it _still_ stomped on my heart and made me sniffly. For epic sweep and emotional tragedy and power, it kicked BSG's blue-tinted ass all over space.
Eccleston done good.
RTD does a better Buffy than Buffy.

Yep. A friend of mine ordered them, and has been playing the Behind the Scenes stuff after we watch the episode on SciFi. They're lovely, but I was cheap enough to want to wait for the US release (especially with Amazon.com offering them at $30 off.) But thanks for the info!
Eccleston done good.
He really did. He supplanted Four in my heart really early on in his season.

I wonder if he is as partial as Buffy to giving more screen time to characters who are supposed to be dead as Buffy. (white font for concepts of major casting spoilers for end of season 2)

I liked him straight off, but it wasn't until Dalek that I gave up and said 'favorite ever'. Because Daleks, despite the update, are still vaguely ludicrous looking villians. And then you had this guy who had been flippant and gently amused in the face of deadly danger previously, Gelth and Slitheen and whatever else, and he was completely out of his mind with fear at seeing it, and it just sold that they really were an epic danger.
