Anyone Up For A Resurrection?

Loose Cannon Reconstructions is your friend

Everyone has to start somewhere

Out of interest, does your brother have City of Death amongst those other ones he has? I was thinking of starting with this one and seeing where things go

No City Of Death I'm afraid.....but that one is out on DVD no???!!!

Its been a while since I've picked up a Doctor Who DVD....so I might actually get that one. I've heard its good so I might make a visit to HMV, or Virgin tomorrow.

Yep - it was released at the end of last year

It's well worth getting (it's one of my top 10 Who stories, and is amongst the most popular stories) - plus you get a double-disc package with lots of extras so it's definitly worth having in your collection

Couldn't find a copy of it in Sutton, where I live, but when I go into Uni tomorrow in Kingston, I'll take a look around the shops there for it....I'm sure they'll have a copy of it somewhere there.

Anyone know if any shops got any deals on Doctor Who DVDs???

I had a look in HMV and WHSmith yesterday, and Tesco`s today - I couldn`t see any major reductions.

Amazon has City of Death for £11.99...

Yeah...£11.99 seems to be the cheapest I've seen it for.....

It might take a few days for delivery....if we want to get the ball rolling now, can I suggest possibly The Ark In Space.....I have a hankering for a Sarah Jane Smith story......

Sounds good to me - been a few years since I saw that one! Hows about we start that one this weekend and see how things go from there?

That time the 4th Doctor revealed he'd already lived 11 past lives



You can find a lot of crazy stuff by mining the depths of classic Doctor Who episodes, including some stuff that defies the show's canon. These days we know 11 official incarnations of our favorite Time Lord, but in a 1976 episode it was revealed that by the Tom Baker era our Doctor had already regenerated several more times than we'd seen on screen.

Up until this episode aired, most Doctor Who fans were probably just like us: They assumed that the Doctor's first incarnation was the first one they'd seen, played by William Hartnell beginning in 1963. But in "The Brain of Morbius" in the show's 13th season, quite a few other Doctors popped up.

Morbius was a criminal from Gallifrey who'd somehow been reduced to little more than a brain in a very messily constructed body. When the Doctor challenged him, the two settled the matter not with violence, but with a brain duel, plugging their heads into some kind of machine to see who had the superior mind. This triggered the revelation that the Doctor wasn't on his fourth incarnation, but on his 11th.

The space in between the two brain duelers is filled with images of past Doctors as the battle goes on. At first you see only recognizable faces: Third Doctor Jon Pertwee, Second Doctor Patrick Troughton and First Doctor Hartnell. But then you start to see some unfamiliar identities for the Doctor, which apparently were portrayed by crew members George Gallacio, Robert Holmes, Graeme Harper, Douglas Camfield, Philip Hinchcliffe, Christopher Baker, Robert Banks Stewart and Christopher Barry.



This became problematic later when the Who writers established that Time Lords have a 13-regeneration limit. If you counted these eight previously unseen Time Lord incarnations, that would mean that Baker wasn't the Fourth Doctor, but the Twelfth, and the series had to end with canonical Fifth Doctor Peter Davison, and that just wouldn't do. So the "Brain of Morbius" sequence was forgotten, and these days it's remembered by only the die-hard Baker fans.

The 13-regeneration rule has since become a bit loose in the Doctor Who mythos, so we could theoretically count these guys as Doctors again. At least then he could say he's had a beard at some point.
