Constant re-runs of Timelash?

No, that would be bad if he was a fan. In any case, isn't The Twin Dilemma worse?

I haven't seen Twin Dilemma for years. I remember it being bad, but surely nothing could be worse than Timelash. I've got a theory that every doctor has some bad stories but poor Colin got more than most.

Interestingly - because of the DVD releases, I've been watching Key to Time and followed it up with Time Meddler, then Silurians. Next to those two, Key to Time (which I used to think was great) mostly stinks...

oops.... completely off topic now....

To be fair, it had good story concepts (HG Wells, time manipulation). And Robert Ashby as the Borad was very good, especially that make-up.

Was Timelash the one in Paris?

No, the one in Paris is City of Death, considered to be one of the better Dr Who stories.

Timelash is entirely studio-bound with;
- Blue faced, yellow haired robots with sing-song voices.
- A Sock puppet who only appears on a viewscreen
- Some really sad plastic dog things
- A supposedly scary thing which is really just a door with silver christmas tinsel on it
- A very wobbly foam interior of the timelash with "crystals" literally sticking out of the foam
- Some rather sad looking orange sets
- Paul Darrow from Blake 7 - being confused about whether he's in a children's pantomime.
- An idea that was probably good but turned into a crap script. I remember guessing HG Wells in the first 5 minutes.

Of course, it has some great makeup for the Borad, but I think it may be where 95% of the budget for the story went.

I'm sorry, but I find it cool how this thread changed from what it was into a doctor who fan thread.

It happens. Especially when one of the mods has been a Doctor Who fan for 17 years...

To be honest, I don't think we need more mods. I'm surprised that only having three mods is enough to run a forum with 18960 members but if it works then why fix it.

I totally agree with Quatermass' views on this situation.

It's probably closer to a few thousand, taking into account members who haven't posted lately, those who have been banned, and those sockpuppets of trolls.

Still, I think we have plenty of mods. After all, it's better to have a few really good ones than loads of rubbish mods (I'll keep that in mind when I start my own forum up).

I think that there should be a couple more mods. I would if I simply had TIME (I would for the summer, but I'm sure you don't want a temporary mod), because I LOVE rules.
I think that there should be a place to say that we're interested in being a mod, but NOT to beg, just to say that we would if you wanted us to. It's a big honor after all!

i think they should allow us to nominate people and then the entire board vote!
