Doctor Who mini episode

[thismaz]

Kind of surprised I haven't seen this all over my flist. I'm never the first with this kind of stuff. Did I simply just miss it before?

Anyway, a six minute prequel to the 50th Anniversary Special.

Well I posted it up yesterday, but I don't have tons of Who fans on my fl. :)

Looks good doesn't it.

Did you? I saw your post about the trailer for An Adventure in Space and Time (which I'm going to watch this morning) but I missed your post about this.

Hey, Sue

Further down the comments here, shapinglight said "Sue explained to me last night the history of this mcguffin" and I was wondering if you could explain it to me, because she can't remember it well enough?

Thanks! Actually someone else on my flist had posted a link, but under such an enigmatic heading I assumed it was just the normal sort of fan vid and didn't bother looking. So you get the prize for being the first to label it properly :D

It makes me sad that we missed McGann's Doctor. Also does this mean all the people who insist on referring to the actors by number will now have to re-number? I do hope so, because then maybe they will find the system as confusing as I do and stop.

Also, also I wonder if the magic potion will be the maguffin they need to get around the limit on the number of regenerations allowed.

You're welcome.

>I wonder if the magic potion will be the maguffin they need to get around the limit on the number of regenerations allowed
Yes, I wondered about that, too.

>does this mean ...the actors ...will now have to re-number?
Eight and a half?

A couple of people (Sue and Rahirah) linked to it on my flist yesterday.

Sue explained to me last night the history of this mcguffin. I missed most of the Tom Baker era so it had passed me by.

I totally missed Sue's post. I don't know how.

>Sue explained to me last night the history of this mcguffin.
Oh? Do tell, please.
I saw all of Tom Baker's doctor, but I don't remember that sort of detail. Will it, as dwyld speculates, get around the limit on regenerations?

[shapinglight]

Oh dear, Maz!' I think you'd better ask Sue. I've already forgotten what she said. :(

I thought it was good fun :)

[thismaz.livejournal.com]

Yes, I did, too.

First I've heard of it! Thank you so much!

[thismaz.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

[trepkos.livejournal.com]

Cool! Thanks!

You're welcome.

Oh thank you. A McGann Doctor is definitely a thing of cosmic beauty!

*grins* You're welcome.
First time I'm not trailing a week or more behind with anything fandom related.
I'm going to watch it again, this morning, with time to enjoy it properly.
