We have seen / been told that Gallifreyans regenerate into a different sex before too - The Corsair or The Master/Missy for example…
There’s that tired excuse again. This “precedent” was created after Moffat was accused of sexism and the new fangirls started demanding a female Doctor. Since then to combat that image he kowtowed and started to introduce those elements. Nowhere in the classic series is something like this hinted at. If NuWho can’t get the Doctor’s age right, I’m certainly not going to trust it with something like this.
I’ll be watching the Christmas Special and first episode of series 11 but will probably be stopping after that. I would not be surprised to see the show’s ratings start to drop after this.
Not so much a ‘tired excuse’ if it is new, no?
To me it’s all the same series - Doctor Who.
We also recently saw a Gallifreyan regenerate from an old white man into a young black woman - just seemed to be part of the Gallifreyan life.
Did it ever happen before Missy came along? Did it ever happen in the old series? We went 50 years without a regeneration causing a gender change. Moffat added that capability for PC reasons, as oojason said.
I certainly didn’t say it was for pc reasons.
Correct, you didn’t. I don’t know how I thought you had said that. I should have said “as Tobar said”. Again, you have my apologies.
No worries mate - it was a busy day in here and lots of cross-posts back and forth between a fair few people.

How does one “tune in” a streaming show? 😉
I wouldn’t mate - I get my little brother to hold the coat hanger in the back of the tv at the just the right angle to get an ok-ish picture for all 3 tv channels 😃
Major spoiler ahead.

Stuff like that somehow illicits a response in my head that wants me to watch it a little less (I won’t explain why due it being a spoiler - though it’s not hard to work out if you’ve read the article).
Though fair play to those who like that sort of thing.

An interesting trailer (extended comic con version) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjPVdbsG4bY
I’ll likely tune in and watch the first few episodes - hope it does well and also takes risks from the somewhat formulaic tv Trek of Voyager & Enterprise.

When you find a listing for this set on ebay for over 100$
Report it mate - report them all.
Or ask the seller questions like ‘do you realise you can get these for free by looking around a little?’ so it will appear in his ‘questions box’ near the bottom of the page…

Definitely photoshopped. The shadows around Rey are a dead giveaway.
Also, TIE fighters don’t exist in real life. 😛

It’ll be very unlikely to happen - it may seem a popular idea by the Tories right now who need something for their supporters to rally behind - and it’ll be a good, though hypocritical, move for the Tory readers of the Mail, S*n and Express.
Yet it won’t work…
It’s similar to that router idea which would ban porn that the UK Govt had a couple of years ago - before they were told it was unworkable and the public found out that a large Tory donor would be the making most of the routers?
Besides…
What is porn and what is art?
What will the appeal process be? - and how much will the regulatory body cost to fund? how quick will the regulatory body be to ease access to Barnados, NSPCC and other websites dealing, helping and educating in sex abuse and other sites mistakenly listed (as in that router opt in/out farce?)?
How about sites that aren’t listed as mainly porn sites but do contain some - or little amount of ‘porn’ material?
a vpn will simply get around this UK ban - even a chrome extension. 'Cos kids are useless with tech…
Even if not, P2P is about to get a little boost next year…
Smaller ISP’s in the UK even still allow access to banned torrent sites - so how will the Govt force them to do this? I doubt the Govt has a list of all the ISPs in the UK…
Storing financial details (if credit card ID) of customers on a porn site isn’t the best idea - and could make them a target for hackers/blackmailers etc - let alone the idea of trusting financial information with untrusted companies (and employees)… are the FCA going to be involved too? 😉
and for 16-17 years olds - you can legally have sex - but you can’t watch others have sex online? Even for education, or ideas etc…
and finally - no kid is ever going to get hold of their parent’s credit card info are they…
(and that’s IF the Tories can get this through and made law - which is unlikely - seems to be posturing and preaching to their converted)

I bought my TR-47 discs on Ebay. That was long before I found this place and knew it could be acquired for free. Others are likely in that boat.
Excuse my noobiness but what is TR-47?
(I hope I’m not getting off topic.)
Info on the TR47 set can be found here mate - http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/id/1364
Basically it’s a laserdisc to dvd transfer of the OT - as was the norm back in 2003/04 on here…
IIRC it was one of the first quality sets out around at that time - along with the Dr Gonzo, and the later EditDroid, IsoMix, Moth3r, Farsight sets etc…
a list of the major projects from back then can be found here (in amongst some more modern releases):-

Here’s a link to my collection of Star Wars posters:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/z9r9en8oyxs1hww/AAANY-SqXCn85zElBjhLoBCKa?dl=0
It’s still a work in progress. My goal is to collect every official poster ever released, in the highest resolution possible. I think it would be great to have a comprehensive database available online.
So, if anyone has / knows where super high res or rare posters can be found, let me know!
I’ve also collected a great bunch of alternate posters worth checking out 😃
Also, maybe this already exists and I’m totally behind the times – either way, enjoy.
Very impressive mate - some nice posters there I hadn’t seen before - many thanks for sharing. Hope you find a lot more covers to come…
I’ve added your post to a list of covers and useful links etc:-
^ hopefully it’ll come in handy for others to find stuff on here etc
doubleKO also has a great collection of art/posters etc here (1.48gb-ish) - link
He also found this superb site for many different Star Wars posters / art, here at Heritage Auctions:-
