Thanks Bobby!
I already started watching it last night and binned it when the presenter overlooked Colin Baker on the advice he was given (Or not) when he got the role.
A bit of basic professionalism isn't much to ask of someone facilitating a nice meeting of The Doctors for fans.

Chris AND Paul MacGann!
Put Colin Baker into the mix and those are the three wort treated Doctors.
That's why I stopped watching. The three of them are champions and deserve a particular kind of respect for their additions to the overall works

Yes indeed, they were all very ill treated. Colin by Michael Grade, Christopher by the vile Russell and McGann by us…the fans. The Whoovers. WE are to blame for that last one. Well, not the UK Whoovers but the Whoovers in the US who didn’t embrace him as they should. We each of us have blood on our hands…none more so than the aforementioned three.

I could have got a Big Issue vendor to do a better job of presenting the three of them and made a more powerful impact on the greatness of their works Bobby
I understand that getting a gig like this is a big deal to some Am Dram luvvie looking to climb the hill of celebrity but that was a big guffaw in basic delivery and gives the actors, already jaded with the experience, a kick in the nuts publicly.
I know they can each easily handle it, but it's about the craft and highlighting, perhaps even inspiring, others of its magic and potential

Well I would like to do it. Me, Bobby!! I would give my eyes teeth to be the compère of this nice little chat meeting with these Doctors (and companion) and I would feel both honoured and privileged too! It would be my absolute HONOUR and I would treat it all with the respect and reverence it deserves! By Whoovers FOR Whoovers.
But no one would ever let me do it.

There’s lots of things that I’m trying to make happen which never will. I don’t need to add another one to the list!
Also I came up with an idea the other day. I know that you still want to track the missing Juan down so I thought…why don’t we get in touch with the interview extraordinaire himself…Mark Williams-Thomas? I’m sure he would be willing to help us as he loves a good old mystery.

I don't think we have to worry about Juan for the moment Bobby as one of the /.'s said they have him secured in a closet of some sort and they engage in sexual activities together
The appetites of that man, I tell you
So while he's happy doing that type of thing for now we at least all know that he's safe and secure

Bobby Tomlinson — 1 year ago(June 29, 2024 12:54 PM)
Well….ok. I at least suggested it as an option and I’m sure that Mark Williams-Thomas would have done it for cheap as he just wants the publicity.
You know, the more I think about it…the more I am convinced that it should have been me there interviewing Christopher, Paul, Colin and Peri. It’s like when I watched a video of Frontier Land Morcambe. Someone was narrating a video of it and at the end they said ‘looks like it was a lot of fun!’ so basically they want there!!!
It should have been ME narrating that video because it WAS fun and I was there!!!

I don't do much telly Bobby but it seems that this Mark Williams-Thomas fellow is in Tenerife just now looking for some kid who's just decided to get wasted and fall in love for a Summer. He's busy enough as it is for a small matter of having Juan cut short his fun
I'm shocked that they couldn't have got a proper narrator for the Frontier Land video Bobby. It was only closed down in 1999 and getting someone who is, let's say…35 years old would have someone who had memories of being there
I'm all for hiring the youth of today and having them shape the world of tomorrow but I think someone around 35 years old is good enough to bridge that gap between young and old whilst still respecting each end.
Ah well there's always Blackpool!

Well I am going to Blackpool again at the end of July. Myself and Ricky for three nights this time!
I thought about doing a video…one where I talk about old Blackpool memories. What remains now and what has changed. There’s also the interesting angle of Ricky coming at it with inherited memories and seeing if it all measures up to what he thinks. A study of nostalgia vs reality.
I don’t think I’m brave enough though to be on camera doing things like a deep dive into Coral Island or interviewing Amanda Thompson at Pleasure Beach. Besides it would make us too busy to eat ice creams.

That sounds lovely Bobby
Have you thought about trying to find some archive footage online and seeing if you could do a modern day match-up of the framing to show the differences of the years?
It doesn't have to be a big professional number with interviews and stuff just a play around with scenes and editing (With some Suno music!) and you could have a little art film on your hands with the resources available to you at no extra cost

Yes, I like that idea. I’m also a big fan of ‘now and then’ comparison videos (with wistful music played as background).
Hopefully then if we go. I’ve booked the same Travelodge, but British weather is too unpredictable. It could be summer or winter for these few days for all we know. I’ve paid a little extra so it can be refunded if the weather is ****e. If it is then we might go to York or somewhere instead.

York's good
It's not as good as Blackpool but it's still very good
Hopefully the weather will be great regardless!
York would be somewhere we could just book last minute and is very easy to get to by train.
We would prefer Blackpool though. There is nothing that Ricky and I love more than the Fylde coast. Bringing a book along each, breakfast in a morning. catching a tram to Cleveleys and reading on the coast. Breaking for an ice cream and a wander. Fish and chips for tea.

Ricky said that the last time you two were in Cleveleys that a situation occurred at the arcade games place. What was it Bobby?

Do you mean the Arcade Club? That isn’t in Cleveleys.
Cleveleys is a quiet little place where they filmed some of Andor (which I saw someone on YouTube doing a video on Cleveleys call ‘the Star Wars TV show
)
Cleveleys just has a nice sea front/promenade, a quaint little seaside town centre and a nice ice cream parlour. Last time I got a pistachio and macadamia nut ice cream and dropped it.
There’s also a back alley between two B&B’s where if you go down it you sometimes time slip into 1988!
Cleveleys is also home to the world’s first B&M!! You know B&M Bargains? That is where it started…right there in Cleveleys!!!

I heard that the town called Nelson in Yorkshire could do with a BM Bobby
That back alley with the way into 1988 might be worth checking out
Can you take stuff through with you? Like Gameboy Advanceds and VHS copies of the prequel trilogy from Star Wars?
