Spoilers for the End of Tennant...

I always felt that the red Dalek was wasted, they never did explain its unusual design.

Unfortunately the explanation is all too obvious - new toy variant.

Which I'd be OK with if it was a *cool* new design, but nothing tops the black NSD...
 
TDT is also claiming that the new TARDIS exterior will be Hartnell-style complete with white windows and St John's Ambulance badge. Another three weeks or so should prove that one right or wrong.

Ian Levine seems to think the interior will be a replica of the original Peter Brachacki console room set as well.

Ian Levine has a tendancy to believe just about every rumour thrown his way.

Both of those TARDIS descriptions reek of the "Moffat is going to put things back the way they should be" delusion some fans share.
 
I'm perhaps most struck by how much Timothy Dalton looks like a hirsute Patrick Stewart in that photograph.

I've been saying that since the 1st Bond with Dalton. They could have used him in NEMESIS instead of Tom Hardy, or in a TNG episode about a younger Picard or a brother.

colour alone that is fine, I think the major question, is what were the gold attachments for? they look like they should do something.

you are right, it was mostly down to being able to produce a new toy, and I agree the black Dalek Sec was great.

I reckon that robot we see in WatersofMars is there for toy sales.

Come on now! It's the 21st Century! We're jaded! We're in recession! Is it too much to ask to have a BLACK TARDIS with BLACK WINDOWS? :scream:

Why the fuck do people still listen to Ian Levine?

I had to google him to discover who he was. He's the guy responsible for unleashing that song upon the world. For that alone, let us never speak his name again.

Oh I know all about him. He doesn't have the ear of anyone at Cardiff, and his recent overreaction over Dan Hall and 2|Entertain is evidence he's still firmly off his rocker. If anything, my post was suggesting were unlikely to be seeing any homages to 1963 any time soon. :)

Though, ironically, there are no New Series toys being released this year!
well if Waters of Mars does not air to November, its to late to get the robot in the shops for Christmas, and there is nothing from Planet of the Dead that would make that gooda toy, apart from an Michelle Ryan action figure, but im told girl figures dont sell well, so maybe now.

Unit Members
Tritovores
The Swarm
Tennant figure in dark shades
Lady Christina figure

You have to think like a shrewd toy company ;)
 
im not sure it would be a good seller, but a Tritovore action figure is a good idea.

What they really need to make is a to scale red bus, so you can put your current action figures, or create stories about Lady Christina and her flying bus.

Well a brother maybe, but Dalton isn't actually that younger...guess they could have worked around that in Nemesis...but I'm kinda glad Dalton wasn't involved with that mess to be honest.
 
I love Lawrence Miles. Personally, I think it's all done in good humour, whereas Ian Levine actually believes everything he says. And he will never change.

NEVER

NEVER

NEVER!!!!!!!
 
Didn't Stewart audition for a Time Lord role in 'Trial of a Time Lord'?

BTW, in 'The Lazarus Experiment', Mr Saxon was backing Lazarus Labs. Therew as some kind of cloning thing going on, I think, I can't be bothered wathing it again right now. Master's essence captured in Ming's ring, a cloned body lined up, hey presto, new new Master with the same face.

No, Stewart was considered for the role of the Castellan in "Arc of Infinity."

The other interesting "what if?" casting from that story -- Pierce Brosnan was considered for Maxil, a role that ultimately went to Colin Baker.
