Got my tickets to the Cinemark 3D showing of this episode

 

[Bobby Roberts]

This is great. It reminds me of the mental Roger Moore era renditions of the Bond theme.

exactly! Like the entire intro to Spy Who Loved Me.

 

[Box of Bunnies]

An Adventure in Space and Time is going to be fantastic.

An Adventure in Space and Time is going to be fantastic.

Casting on Ian and Barbra is really uncanny.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

So what's An Adventure in Space and Time? A special? It's different from Day of the Doctor right? Also different from the Xmas special?

I can't keep everything straight.

 

[infiniteloop]

Oh shit, Menoptera!

Very much looking forward to it.

So what's An Adventure in Space and Time? A special? It's different from Day of the Doctor right? Also different from the Xmas special?

I can't keep everything straight.

It's a docudrama of the creation of Doctor Who and those involved.

I can't keep everything straight.

It's a drama about the beginnings of the Doctor Who TV show: looks at the battles within the BBC to make the show what it is today, essentially.

It's a Docu-Drama film about creation of the series.

An Adventure in Space and Time is a docudrama about the early days of the show.

e: beaten twice

 

[infiniteloop]

lol.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Ah, nice. When's that air? Also the XMas special will be on BBC America right?

 

[infiniteloop]

21 November 2013, BBC Two | 22 November 2012, BBC America.

It's in the OP.

Yup, Christmas Day.

Gotcha, I think I have it all now, thanks. Well, aside from the air time of Adventure in Space & Time. Also I assume the science of Doctor Who airtime is EST.

 

[Avixph]

Why isn't Doctor Who dubbed in Spanish?

Sorry, missed that. air time is 9pm EST. Yes, EST for Science.

Production happened earlier this year, and BBC wants to simulcast it. That plan wouldn't be possible if they localized it for each major language.

 

[infiniteloop]

Stevie Wonder sang in 1814?
Yes, he did, but you must never tell him.

 

[Slowdive]

Speaking to CultBox on the set of 'The Day of the Doctor' in Cardiff earlier this year, the writer commented: "I knew the story we wanted tell and certain things in the kit of parts that we could tell it with. That has to be the priority, otherwise you might as well just have a walk-down, a curtain call… It can’t all be curtain call. Not that I’m saying we don’t have a curtain call!"

Moffat added: "It was a very, very, very difficult script to start writing, because it had to be epically ambitious. I’ve never written anything quite like it. It was the most terrifying thing I’ve ever done."

The writer explained: "I knew what I wanted to accomplish. I think there’s a tremendous danger if you attach the word 50 to anything that you are arranging a state funeral and a retrospective. I wanted it to be the show that ensures the next 50 years – it does celebrate the last 50 years, trust me, people seem to worry that I‘m not going to do that. It celebrates the legend, rather than saying ‘it’s really old, you know’."

No I mean the show as a whole.

 

[Future Foundation]

An Adventure in Space and Time is going to be fantastic.

I hope it turns out well, because everything looks fantastic so far. Also, on a related note:

Jessica Raine is so fucking pretty.

 

[APZonerunner]

No I mean the show as a whole.

Just no Spanish-language station has chosen to, or stumped up to pay BBC Worldwide to, I suppose. I think it was at one point, but channels change their minds based on what their needs are, I guess. The Japanese dub ran from Series 2 and stopped after Series 5, for instance, IIRC.

In France the special will be simulcast both in French and English audio.

But what about BBC Argentina?

 

[Trike]

Casting on Ian and Barbra is really uncanny.

Eh, Barbara's hair is off and Ian looks nothing like in the original. I mean I wasn't expecting clones of the original cast, so I am still looking forward to it. But I wouldn't say the resemblance is uncanny.

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

Whaaaaaaaa? The 10th's TARDIS interior is inside the 11th's TARDIS? (Watching the episode where the James Earl Jones asteroid steals the TARDIS).

Neil Gaiman wanted a retro TARDIS for that scene, but it wasn't in the budget. Instead, he gave the producers enough warning that they held off on tearing down 9/10's TARDIS set until after they finished filming this episode.

Which has me wondering: does that mean that the 10th TARDIS set we see in the 50th Anniversary is the legitimate old one or has it been completely rebuilt?

I heard ages ago they had to use the partial set from the Doctor Who experience. Not 100% sure, but I think they did.

 

[M.Bluth]

While you're wondering what the theme song for the Special might sound like,

I just want them to use the 1963 theme. But they won't.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

It's possible it'll be in there, though. I could see Murray Gold actually using the original recording as the backbone for a new arrangement. Essentially - he'd be remixing it instead of re-arranging & re-orchestrating.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

While you're wondering what the theme song for the Special might sound like, how about this take on the tune by its composer, Ron Grainier.

http://t.co/hQaNHfkgqS

This apparently represents his first crack at arranging it the way he wanted. It sounds like a '70s game show hosted by Wink Martindale.

It's kind of amazing.

Doctor Who will return in...
The Spy Who Loved Me

It's pretty catchy though, I love hearing different variations of Doctor Who theme.

Why isn't Doctor Who dubbed in Spanish?

But the new Who IS in spanish (last season is the one not done yet).

But what about BBC Argentina?

Ahhhh... isn't there a latin american version?

I was wondering where Radio Free Skaro got their theme tune from.

The simulcast in Spain is dubbed in spanish (hate it btw).

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

The simulcast in Spain is dubbed in spanish (hate it btw).

I think the voices (best is season 1 of new who, Eccleston, Piper and Borrowman) are really good (not for monsters or scondary male characters though). The translations suck and the the dub director is mediocre though (he is the one that does the monster voices usually and his voice is really meh, but I suppose it's cheap doing that). So the Daleks and Cybermen sound like shit, and add the horrible translation to that and is a major turn of for me, and I usually love to watch spanish dubs if they are good (it's a good way to enjoy of the same series twice and it feeling different).

 

[Fred Norris]

Ok I need to hear some Spanish Daleks now.

 

[BocoDragon]

Has there ever been a dub of a live action show that wasn't vile?

I can dig it for 70s HK Kung Fu flicks though...

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Ok I need to hear some Spanish Daleks now.

Nah, is pretty mediocre.
Its just an old guy (he is the one to also say the title card) with his voice retouched on a computer. He doesn't even try to put the famous nervous act the Daleks do on the original version.

I think we have found Eleventh's regeneration music

It's funny because he is Ten.

I wonder if they'll do one for each Doctor and their respective number.

Pretty sure that's what they're doing. I hope they show 8 in his Dark Eyes

At least we are going to have Eccleston on something with tomorrow's photo!

That's clearly Paul McGann in disguise.

I heard ages ago they had to use the partial set from the Doctor Who experience. Not 100% sure, but I think they did.

After they tore it down after Series 6 they moved it up the road to the experience. Half of it was destroyed in the process, just due to how it was built - same is true for the Series 5 TARDIS, that set is pretty much destroyed now, sadly. If you think that TARDIS set was around a 3/4 circular set, with a hole for camera and crew, like a stage, about 1/3 of it remains now, half at a push. So they lit and filmed on that. It'll likely be pretty tightly shot, because if they pull back too far you'll see the ceiling isn't all there, etc. Based on the clips we've seen they've done a fantastic job.

I don't think it's dubbed in Spanish in Latin America, which is what I want.

It looks noticeably different in that one shot where Tennant says "Allons-y!", to me anyways.
