Twime Team: The Five Doctors

The 47th anniversary of Doctor Who and what a day it's been. Arc of Infinity earlier, The Five Doctors now. Such a long slog given that the Special Edition is 1 hour and 40 minutes long without a break, but so much fun. When I first saw this story I wasn't a huge fan of it, but I've now seen it countless times and I have a real soft spot for it now. Glad to have shared it with you all on Twitter on today of all days.

Congrats and thanks to @Nelle_Macbeth for being our host.

More about the transcript and more Tweetamentaries as soon as I can.

Arc of Infinity Episode Two Tweetamentary Transcript

As follows for those that missed it:

Stand by for #ArcOfInfinity Episode 2 Tweetamentary for #DoctorWho47

Play NOW! #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Colin Baker's revenge #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

I love how elaborate the robes they wear are, even without the collars #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Baker playing with TARDIS console. Nice foreshadowing. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Love how The Doctor doesn't drink from a glass with a curly straw. The indignity! #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Love the location sound recording. Bit of a harsh jump when they go into studio but still. Nice reality. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Tegan's return! After one episode away... If memory serves. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Is that a pregnant Time Lady in the background? #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

For pity's sake, start acting man! The man with Tegan really bugs me #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

I think I love the politics of Gallifrey a little too much! #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

One of my bug bears: actors not finding their light. Well done Fielding, lean right out of the light. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

The Gallifrey Council scenes feel like full on theatre. I love it! #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

The 5th Doctor being doing anger is lovely. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

I'm puzzled. There's a bad guy trying to use The Doctor, so to save the day, let's kill him? That makes sense. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Baker is brilliant in this. Seems Davsion has really upped his game for this. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

They've lit the TARDIS better too. Not so harsh. Is it in Power Down mode? #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

The stuff with Tegan is nice, but it really slows it down. It's almost like this story is trying to be too much. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Love seeing snatches of roundels in corridors. Nice mention of Leela. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

A strip of lighting gel and a few tipex streaks proves traitourous activity? Ah, right. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

New component without a recall circuit! Nice! #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Setting up plot later? Nyssa noticing weaponry in the computer room? #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Castellan's office is nice and simple, but moody. Shall ignore the rumpled vinyl flooring. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Back reference to Morbius. Lovely. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Jump cut from Neg FX shot to real shot. Not sure if I like it. However Green TARDIS is cool. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Reveal of monster physically but saving back who he is. Nice tactic. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Mmm The Comfy Chairs of Rassilon. Oh, and The Ikea Lighting of Rassilon. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Baker in his plumage. Classy. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Would the guards consider marching rather than meandering? #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Borusa is moustachioed. You can tell he'll be a wrong-un one day. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Termination Chamber is yet another really nice set. Cheap, simple but effective. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Could you have made finding your mark subtler Davison? lol #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Doctor's execution is how I'd want to do the transformation in Beauty and The Beast. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

What a cliffhanger? Can they get better? #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

End of episode 2! #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47




Episode 3 soon! Probably not before I join The Twime Team for their take on The Five Doctors.

Arc of Infinity Episode One Tweetamentary Transcript

To celebrate Doctor Who's 47th Birthday today, I embark upon a mammoth Tweetamentary day of watching and tweeting! Now and during the day, Arc of Infinity, later on with The Twime Team we'll be looking at The Five Doctors. Will duly post a link to the transcript of The Twime Team when it's been done, dusted and uploaded. In the mean time, here's my Tweetamentary Transcript for Episode One of Arc of Infinity.


Rod Henderson is looking forward to the #TwimeTeam later tonight but to start the day off I'll be dipping into Arc of Infinity. Hashtag #ArcOfInfinity

Just remembered my AoI dvd is signed by Cmdr Maxil AND The Doctor. EPIC WIN! #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Episode 1, playing NOW! #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

My Doctor. How I have missed you. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Dark shadowy Time Lord robes. Cool. Negative effect shot, REALLY cool #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

What's up with the very late 60s/early 70s fashions in The Matrix room? #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Stuff behind the roundels always good. Adds an extra element to the set #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Location footage! Lovely normal looking street. Nice difference from a UK street pretending 2 b something else. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Location filming such a simple thing to do to make a story feel really different. Is Amsterdam a gimmick though? #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Pre 5 Doctors TARDIS Console. Looks so blank. Nothing to do on it. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Shadow work and now POV camera work? We're being spoilt! #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Love the detail of the TARDIS hatstand lying on floor to show they've been on a bumpy journey. So simple. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Really creepy time bending effects. So easily done, but quite effective. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

No! Not a possession! Though Davison falls beautifully. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Really hideous socks. Who chooses hi vis yellow socks to wear? Students apparantly. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Ergon or Myrka. Which is worse? #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

The Doctor listening to a companion. I <3 <3 Doctor 5 and Nyssa #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

The special effects in this are fairly decent. Just enough to suggest. Council meeting. I want some robes! #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

The Arc of Infinity is a lovely sci fi spacey name. Pity it's not done justice in this. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

COMMANDER MAXIL! My hero! So loyal, so smug, so nasty! Adore Colin Baker. Such a lovely actor. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

The recall circuit. Only used twice before. Both with The Doctor. Coincidence? I think not. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

I really like that the motto or ths story seems to be simpler the better.#ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Purple and blue helmet plumage? Classy but inpractical surely? #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

What a really relaxed hotel checking in system. What's your name? Some name. How long? Meh. Ok, have keys. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Random anger outburst. If only the actor showed any build up to it. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Davison doing directional comedy. Act like he's going one way, then go another. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

When did Nyssa have the abilities of Diana Rigg? #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Possibly one of the most famous cliffhangers ever! Maxil Versus The Doctor! #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Quite a large cast for episode 1 of a serial. Really nicely cast with maybe one or two exceptions. #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47

Break for now given that it's half 2 in the morning! More later! #ArcOfInfinity #DoctorWho47






More later!

Format Changes...

My podcast is designed to be in support of this very blog, but I'm confusing myself. What do I want the format to be? I know I want to do episode commentaries, but quite often when I sit down to record Episode 1, I'm by myself and I don't think a solo commentary would be terribly interesting for you guys listening.

I want to try and avoid the News Podcast format. Podshock, Radio Free Skaro and the like have this covered. I'm not saying I won't touch on news events, but I don't want to make that the main feature. Other folks have that covered and I don't want to tread on people's toes. But that then begs the question, what do I fill the podcasts with when I'm not doing commentaries?

That's where I throw this open to you. What do you want to listen to?

Get in touch with me on here, on Twitter (@rod_henderson), on the Facebook Page (A Journal of Improbable Things) or email me on improbablethingspodcast@live.co.uk

Dreaming of CatBakers

Has just finished listening to Episode 12 of the Radio Rassilon podcast and despite having worked 28 hours almost solidly in one shift, I sat and listened to it as soon as I could. Love their work, and love it even more that they read my bile filled email out! Not genuine bile. To do that would require dousing my laptop in bodily fluids I'm not prepared to expel just now. Just to clarify in case it was taken the wrong way by anybody, I love the podcast and the work of Harry Medium, Leeson Fischer and the legend that is The IAmWilliam. I just thought The IAmWilliam needed to put the lads in their place!

Great podcast for light hearted Doctor Who banter, comedy, debauchery and mean emails sent in to unsuspecting hosts!

Find them on iTunes, Facebook, Twitter (@RadioRassilon) and various other places. Their Local might have seen them recently!

It's proper evil!

Slow and Steady: An Update

Slowly getting there. Bits and pieces for episode one have been recorded, bits are being edited, sections still need to be recorded, but getting there.

Doing some research into recording equipment that will be more decent than my laptop's in built thing. Had a couple suggestions, but feel free to comment or email me your own (improbablethingspodcast@live.co.uk).

Really looking forward to a big full scale Tweetamentary on the 23rd November with @Nelle_Macbeth and the gang of the Twime Team (http://twimeteam.blogspot.com/). We're looking at The Five Doctors. Love that story despite it's many flaws. Once we have completed it, I'll post a link to the transcript on Nelle's blog and then maybe if I can be bothered I'll copy it to here. Or at least, my parts of it!

Illness and Sparks

Podcast Episode 1 was due to be finished by now, but alas it has not. Work and various other things have conspired against me to prevent the completion of this new project. Also, I am ill. Nothing serious, but enough to make my voice sound different. I've even recorded an extra disclaimer thing to edit in for if my voice isn't better nearer deadline time. Plus on top of that it has been Guy Fawkes Night over here in the UK so when I've been trying to record bloody explosions have been going off outside my house, so the discalimer includes that to save me having to keep re-recording the same sentences over and over.

On top of that I'm still experimenting with editing techniques and formatting. Trying to work out what feel I want it to have. All very tricky. Will keep you posted.
