@TheCyberdevil I tried both and it makes no difference. It’s shockingly bad and happens throughout the story. Any idea what the cause is? It’s not a kind of distortion I’ve seen before.

@webakestuff Yes. I have heard about this. It’s not just your copy. Have you got the new effects option switched on or off?

Hmmm. Got DW Season 15 for Xmas and it frequently has a weird white distortion that I don’t recognise, which means it looks inferior to the iPlayer version! Is this another disc defect I haven’t heard about?

@ShearmanRobert this is what I was waffling about last night: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mummy_bro…

@KnightmareUK was Knightmare Castle the first roguelike? I've discovered that anything approaching a definitive map is impossible, but I had a shot at the rooms from the first 3 seasons! (work in progress).

@fillhaze Ha! Yeah, bit of a cheeky joke, that. As was the sound of regeneration energy after he's shot! Made me chuckle.

Did I just hear the original Master theme tune @webakestuff? #DoctorWho

@fillhaze Yes, and for whatever reason I actually thought it was fine as it is here, yet every time I've seen the 10-part original I've always thought it came prematurely.

@webakestuff Looks like they kept it in the same place…

Can't wait for The War Games in Colour, what a Xmas treat for us all! I wonder if this new edit will push the reveal of what's behind the painting in General Smythe's office to just a few minutes later. I've always thought it happens far too near the start of Part 1.

+ 'BBC2 IDENT CLOCK' + In between working on orders this morning I made a BBC2 clock for a friend's Xmas present. Popped a handful in the shop, available to pre-order for shipping in Jan. The shop will close on Monday PM for the year, so be quick. 🎄 🎁 🔥 hiddenbritain.bigcartel.com

@2000AD That reminds me: did Regened vol 5 ever come out? Or have you stopped at vol 4?

@webakestuff in his element! 🎃 Halloween comedy special 👻 Make a night of it with some of our delightful seasonal beers & cake 😁

@wenbbilliams My theory is talent is an abundant resource, so all you've got to do is find/foster good people. Saward was rubbish at looking for new talent, Cartmel was v good. Nowadays opportunities are scarce & we behave as if talent is rare & ppl need a vast CV before they're given a shot.
