that does sound good to me, return of either the Sea Devils (anytime the new series brings back a Classic series alien is fine by me) or the Hath, is fine by me.

 

[Mr Awe]

It wasn't a great performance, now that might have been down to the script or it might just be his age-also he seemed to vanish rather suddenly, again that might have been the story, or he might not have been up to the schedule. I think if they do bring him back it needs a good script and for him to not do too much rushing about.

I've always thought that if they brought the Brig back to Who that he'd have to help out with his knowledge rather than through action. More like a consultant. Tough to do effectively because that is essentially the Doctor's role as well and he has access to more knowledge. It would have to be something that only the Brig could know or do.

Well, I hope they do find away to bring him back for a visit. I suppose he might get snatched up by the aliens and forced to play a role.

Should we be worried that there's two people writing the script?

Given the last time Rusty and Roberts collaborated, we got the excellent Invasion of the Bane, I'd say we've got nothing to worry about.

that is one of the best episodes in NewWho, spin-off or not.

Anyone got any idea when they'll be filming in Tunisia? Only I happen to be going there myself next month...

 

[Brendan Moody]

Well, it's not confirmed that it is Tunisia (Dubai has also been rumored), but wherever they're going it'll probably be some time between the start of filming on January 19 and mid-February.

I just want the Brig back before Tennant leaves (I'm still bitter he never got to meet Eccleston - and right after getting "caught up" with McGann and Colin Baker for Big Finish, too)!

 

[wamdue]

^ I heard rumour he was going to be around for more of S3 of SJA, dont know if its true or not

 

[Mr Awe]

While it's nice and all if he shows up in SJA, he really should be showing up in Who.

QFT!

I dont disagree

The brig needs to go. I loved him back then, but IMO far too many brig fans are expecting the excellence we saw in the 70s and 80s to manifest itself in a character who is 70+ years old, and an actor as old too. He's fun to see, of course; I simply don't feel we need to bring him back for nerd's sake.

[wamdue]

have you seen his appearance in SJA?

 

[The]

I certainly think they need to give the character some closure before Courtney dies...

Given his appearance and role in SJA, I fully agree with you.

 

[Mr Awe]

Whatever happened so badly on SJA, I'm sure they could learn from and do better on Who.

A Sarek style deathbed scene? Probably a better way to do it, but it would be nice to see the Doctor/loss thing have a natural death in there.

I'm slightly bemused by the 'No companion... features a young companion' style contradiction in the quote, but looking forward to seeing what happens.

Losing the TARDIS doesn't seem much of a big deal. He's been removed from it in a few new episodes already and it was never seen in Genesis with the Timelords using their own stuff to shift him about. Besides.. it's barely used anyway.

Looking forward to seeing what comes of it - though I'm not the biggest UNIT fan as I got really bored of them during the Pertwee years.

that is an issue, having him in one of these specials seems like a great way to give him a final goodbye

The Tardis is simply a plot device to get the Doctor to wherever shit's going down. I don't think that tidbit is any more of a revelation than The Impossible Planet when the silly bugger lost it down a canyon.

Ah, that would be when we all predicted exactly how it'd turn up a week before part 2 aired, yet The Doctor was totally clueless until the moment it turned up!

Ah, good times.
