Note that you may not be able to use the h tags interstitially, as they are meant for headings. But big works.

All this Brian Blessed stuff lately… what if he and John Rhys-Davies had a show. I dunno, traveling detectives or lawyers who always seem to face off in the courts. I think that would be fun.

I would come up with a conspiracy theory where Patrick Troughton was actually the third Doctor, but I know that we would end up with people claiming to have seen the Brian Blessed episodes and that anyone who denied their existence were sheeple.

I’d also want to include Frances de la Tour’s Doctor, but the BBC had stopped deleting tapes by that point.

But only if we can also get Joanna Lumley’s doctor as well…

I don’t know who Brian Blessed is, but damn- what a magnificent beard and personality!

Seems like a dude who’d play a great Henry thd 8th.

Dunno if you have been watching Doctor Who lately,

but for better or worse they basically threw out a lot of cannon. So, really, we could have anyone be the doctor of the past and claim it was a wiped memory.

Actually… that might not be a horrible idea. What if we had one or two “tales” episodes per season. The Doctor uses the Tardis to probe their mind for past memories and we “relive” a past life for an episode and we could have a guest actor play The Doctor for an episode.

Did I ever tell you guys my idea of a Doctor Who parody? He’s “The Janitor” and he “cleans up messes”. Never in the thick of trouble, he works behind the scenes, gently nudging things to their proper place.

He has a Quantum key ring. One of those key rings on a belt and cable, with an infinite number of keys, pass-cards, RFID chips, etc. So when needing to open something, it will instantly collapse into the needed key. He has a Kinetic Monkey Wrench, which works exactly like you think it would. His Tardis automatically takes the place of any janitor or supply closet. Using the Tardis key on the key ring opens it, otherwise it’s just the closet. (In areas where there are no closets like a forest, it looks like one of those mobile shed or storage units.

Please remedy that at your first chance. I suggest starting with a Flash Gordon

  1. The doctor doesn’t like guns. So no cannon to throw out.
  2. In wouldn’t say they threw out any previous canon, just peeled back another layer of onion to show the story is even deeper than we think.

And Dawn French! They were all considered for the role at the same time, but we got Sylvester McCoy instead.

And maybe we could have this Doctor for real too.

John Rhys-Meyers as Henry Tudor… suprised there wasn’t more angry henry gifs around… given how much scenery he chewed up in that show being pissed off and shouty… I mean, look at this sneer:

He wasn’t bad, though. I think he just didn’t get as good writing as he could of.

But fuck yeah, Dawn French as the Doctor! I’d watch a show with Lenny Henry, too!

John Rhys-Meyers was a rather weird Dracula during NBC’s more wilder programming days.

I have not watched the most recent season, so no spoilers, please!

How about this one? Also, excited to finally be able to watch Community, just… several years late as always… :grin:

I keep meaning to get around to that, cause I just love his over-acting…

The good news is that its only one season, so its easy to binge watch. It has one of the original versions of Renfield and a rather silly final episode.

Evil conspiracy guy: Who are you?
Van Helsing: You killed my family!
Evil conspiracy guy: That doesn’t narrow it down at all.

five white producers shout “wesley snipes!” simultaneously.
