@Tales_TimeLord You need to make the moment that's repeating obvious so even the casual viewer is aware of what's going on. I always remember the White Hole episode of Red Dwarf, where time is looping, and all the characters were suddenly making very over exaggerated physical movements.

@SowerbyAsh13727 It may be because in the original, there's quite a few seconds of black with music before the credit visuals appear. Some broadcasters hate that. I remember BBC used to cut fades to black from shows like Star Trek TOS, and fade into the next scene directly. Not so much these days

Checking the Australian "Filmpak" VHS release of "Trapped in the Sky" for winch related reasons (see my earlier tweets) and noticed the episode concludes in the same way on both Japanese & Aussie tapes with an artificial freeze frame.

@DavidBraben I still think the Archimedes version is the ultimate version

I enjoyed doing the AppleII version - much less of a pain compared to the NES version, for example. Quite like the C64 version, but without the range of music.

The #AppleII version of #Elite attracted relatively little attention in the UK, on its release in 1986. In the USA, it was a different story, due to the machine's popularity there. It was a good, colourful conversion, with the full range of ships, space stations and missions.

@GeeksGamersCom Sigh, anyone who has listened to him being interviewed anywhere knows he always peddles that same one line.

Alex Kurtzman says Star Trek is inspired by “The Message” and that science fiction is about “right now” while speaking at the Saturn Awards.

@MrJamesMay Depends if you're thinking about the best Jag to drive or the most iconic. If you're thinking most iconic, I think you can't beat the Mk2.

@la_riviere You're right. I watched it back on a bigger screen and it was just my mobile making the shot jump. Should get a new mobile...

@JSYBen I can’t see it (but my sight is terrible). I’ll check on a bigger screen. I can’t see that being the case or issue though as it would cause issues with the sync. But worth checking!

@la_riviere Yup. Is it just my playback or as soon as the shot starts on the pre transmitted print, there’s a jump just as the shot starts

@WilliamShatner But conspiracy theorists will say that this week never started and we’re too dumb to realise it!

Happy Mid-Week Wednesday! The day optimists & pessimists can both be correct about how the week is half over or half started! 😉

@la_riviere What do you think of the versions ITV have uploaded of the show on this channel? As someone who was brought up on the Carlton remasters, the HD version on this channel seems oddly flat in colour. The soundtrack seems to be the original 60s mono, with rough edges included.

@Draw18082003 @jae_writes_ I get the impression that she was setup to be a companion. When her casting was announced, she was very much sold as one, and it didn't happen. As much as Yasmin may be a good actor in other things, she seemed to lack charm in this, and maybe that's why they changed direction.

@jae_writes_ I’ll always think it would’ve made more sense if she was Fifteenth’s companion before he met Ruby. With the whole healed doctor and stuff and her also being pretty resourceful. But instead the put her at Unit and shows up for 3 seconds

Some more facts now I've finished! -Amy Pond, the actress playing Karen Gillan, is the first redhead companion, the Doctor's first love interest and the 3rd significant companion of the revival after Rose & Wilf -The Paradigm Daleks were reduced in height to meet Matt's eyeline
Ezekiel Thorp@Praxeus_stan

Some more facts! -Silurians first appeared in 1984 -Restac in Cold Blood was a man -No Doctor or companion had ever died before Cold Blood -Most fans agreed Last of the Time Lords had one of the best cliffhangers -The author is keen to know she hates Rory at any opportunity

There's always drama in my wife's office. At least once a week I get a long text from her explaining in detail the latest controversy. I stopped reading them months ago & reply with "really?" to which I get another long text that I reply to with "nightmare". Works every time

A Jersey lawyer who was jailed last week for drinking and driving is set to appear in court next week to appeal against his sentence. David Steenson was sentenced to seven months in prison for crashing his Jaguar into another car and driving off. bailiwickexpress.com/news/top-lawye…

@Doinkadect Unfinished version of 'Rose' is leaked on internet before broadcast. Has original theme tune, extra incidental music that wasn't on final version, and other random edits like the Nestene saying 'Timelord' not included yet.
