HOT DAMN!!!!!! I love The Invasion of Time! Some of Tom's best acting in the first three episodes. Used to have the VHS so a must-have on DVD!
I wonder if there will be a CGI option to replace the Vardans...

I remember "Invasion of Time" being really rather entertaining the only time I saw it - admittedly I had consumed a bit of drinkables and I was in convivial company so this may colour my opinion of the story.

Oh I like the tinfoil aliens immensely. It would just be nice to have an optional extra of them looking even slightly half-way menacing.

They do look like they could win a "least likely to successfully invade a planet" contest. It is rather like being threatened by an angry Tinkerbell or something. Karl |

As Terry Molloy pointed out at a convention I saw him at a couple of years ago, why does Davros' next appearance have to be chronological? It's a time travel series; we can go back to before he created the Daleks, before Genesis of the Daleks.
William Hartnell would have been 100 years old today.

I'd certainly like to see Davros in Series 4 and a pre-Dalek Davros would be welcome.

A pre-Dalek Davros is an excellant idea.

As for a pre-Dalek Davros, he did feature (played by Terry Malloy) in the excellent 6th Doctor audio drama Davros. There was also a Davros audio miniseries covering some of the same period, which I have yet to hear. -Ralph |

A question for you Dr. Hoop fonts of knowledge.
If they did a Time War film, it'd have to be McGann playing the Doctor, wouldn't it?

A question for you Dr. Hoop fonts of knowledge. If they did a Time War film, it'd have to be McGann playing the Doctor, wouldn't it? Not necessarily. There hasn't been anything said in the series to identify which Doctor fought in the Time War. The consensus viewpoint seems to be that it was the McGann version who fought in the war and regenerated at the end of the war in Eccleston(and I suspect that is the intent of the production team). However, there is nothing to stop it being a later incarnation than McGann, given that the Master was given a new core regenerative cycle there is no reason the Time Lords couldn't have done the same for the Doctor. Given that there isn't much established onscreen about the Time War - and probably won't be under the current regime it is anybodies guess really. Karl |

It's pretty much left to the imagination, which is the best way really. A filmed version of the Time War would never match up to the version in viewers minds and would be difficult to put on at tea-time for family viewing considering the hints and implications in the series that it may have ended with our hero, the Doctor, pushing the button that wiped out his own people. Current Who mostly has an optimistic tone (why is why much of 'Last of the Time Lords' felt so strange tonally): I can't see how a story showing the Doctor fighting a war could square with that. In RTD's mind, according to DWM the other month it was a "temporal hell not just spaceships whizzing about" (words to that effect, I don't have the issue in front of me) and that his idea of what the Cruciform was would A: be unfilmable on a TV budget and B: Be entirely unsuitable for a family audience. Though of course creative opinions can change over time.
The Time War seems to attract the worst excesses of fanwank, going by what I read on-line! I've never understood the need some fans (and this applies to some sections of Transformers fandom too) that feel the need for every single thing to be linked/explained and catagorised and listed, quashing the mystery out of everything.

You're prob right, Doc', that it's best to leave to the imagination. But if it could ever be done RIGHT, it'd be a fantastic story.

Finally got round to watching the legendarily apparently awful Warriors of the Deep this evening and...actually quite enjoyed it. "You do that and every Sea Devil will come running!" yells the Doctor to Evil Bloke at one point. No, no they won't. They will merely amble down the corridor very slowly and in a drunken manner.
Very entertaining!

I hear a wisper that the chain of forthcoming releases we know about - Black Orchid, Invasion of Time, Brain of Morbius, Invisible Enemy + K9 and Company - might be preceeded by another story. or 4.
Just a wisper mind.
