Extra Footage: Moffat Cut a Half an Hour of Footage

May 7, 2018

google.com, pub-ca-pub-6067120031842370, DIRECT, f08c47fec0942fa0 Extra Footage Extra footage is something every television show and movie has. The production crew shoot scenes until they get it perfect. So, what Huw Fullerton tells us in this article should not be a surprise. What seems strange is the fact he gives an exact amount of footage. For me what it does is raise the question why would Fullerton tell his readers the amount of footage not used. The idea…

Changed My Mind After Watching Dalek

Changed I decided to go back and watch Season 1 again. But did not know what I would find when I sat down to do so. I admit that I had only watched it one time and did not think much of Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor. After watching the first six episodes of Season 1, I can say that I have changed my mind about Eccleston. Many Whovians see him a good or even great Doctor, but for some…

Dalek In my quest to watch Season 1 of the revived series, I was fascinated by Dalek. The Doctor and Rose land in a bunker in Utah in 2012. This bunker is like a museum of alien artifacts, and once we meet the owner, Henry van Statten, he says it is the biggest as well as the most complete collection on Earth.(1) What the Docter finds is everything from a Slavine arm to a Cyberman head which he says he…

My Doctor In this article from Radio Times by Huw Fullerton, Russell Davies says my Doctor is Christopher Eccleston. Every fan of Doctor Who has their personal favorite. For me, there are two Doctors at the top of my list. The race is close, but Tom Baker is my Doctor. But David Tennant is a close second. I love the way, RTD responds to what Eccelston said last month. He is right. There is not any place for a tit for…

Easter Egg In this article from Radio Times by Huw Fullerton, there seems to be a connection with The Day of the Doctor and Peter Capaldi’s last episode. I do find this intriguing and never really noticed it. But apparently, this is not the only Easter Egg as he calls them, but will be the only one I touch on. I did not pay close enough attention while watching the 5o Anniversary Special and did not notice the roundels on…

Uncertain Uncertain may not even be the word to use here. In this article, RTD says, he has grown up after concerns about casting a woman as the Doctor.(1) Fans are not the only ones to worry or be concerned. For some fans, it is the fact the Doctor will no longer be a man. This seems to be the biggest hurdle in the matter. For those who read this and think I don’t like the idea of a female Doctor, you…

Classic Monsters In this article by Thomas Ling, he tells us which classic monsters Steven Moffat and Russell T Davies would love to see again. As a fan, I don’t see any problem with bringing classic monsters to new who. I love the fact the Moffat brought back the Ice Warriors in Season 10. They are one monster that I had not seen before Season 10. RTD’s choice is one I haven’t seen, but he says he would like to…

No Anxiety No Anxiety, these are powerful words from the Doctor to his granddaughter, Susan. I find these are words many Whovians may need to consider. Many of us are worried about what is going to happen now that there is a whole new team running Doctor Who and add the fact the Doctor is now female. Anxiety seems to be running high, or at least with some fans. Okay, there may be some exaggeration, but there is some anxiety…

Why? Fans of RTD may have dreams of him writing for Doctor Who again, but in this article, he reveals the reason why we won’t see another episode from him. Doctor Who fans are grateful for his persistence. He never quit lobbying the BBC until he received the go-ahead to bring Doctor Who back. So, I can see why fans who love his work would hope he will return to script writing for the show. Yes, it will be awesome to…

Created In this article from Radio Times, there is some new information on the novelization of Rose. There are possible spoilers so read it at your own risk. As a fan, I do find it interesting, that Davies created more incarnations of the Doctor. Of course, it is only an opinion, and it may not be a shared opinion. Asking a question at this point is necessary. Why did Davies add this to the novel? The writer of the article believes…
