Lady April Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I adore Troughton! Love the Chaplin type hobo in space with his hippie recorder. Always seemingly aloof though more on the ball than an unsuspecting being might think and ready to kick some ass when necessary. #2 -I love him!!!Exactly. I've loved Troughton's Doctor ever since I saw The Mind Robber as a child.It wasn't until I started collecting the DVDs that I realised so few of his stories still existed. That was upsetting. So I read the Target novelisations and listened to the existing soundtracks. I was so overjoyed when the news came out last year about the rediscovered episodes.I heard Steven Moffett talking about that at one time, the lost episodes but remember very little. what that about ?

Now for some details!Yeah, for various reasons, there was a stupid policy in the BBC during the 60's and 70's to junk TV shows once they'd been shown (storage space, cost of film, and -believe it or not- the actors union (they were afraid that if you could repeat shows, they'd lose work, because there'd be no need to make new ones)...and also once colour TV became the norm, no one thought anyone would want to watch an episode of Black and white telly again) Luckily, the episode were distributed around the world to be broadcast in other countries, again, with instructions to destroy them, or send them back to BBC to be destroyed.It's just pure luck that any 60's Doctor Who survives at all. Lost episodes have been found all over the place. In the 90's, Tomb of the Cybermen was found in Hong Kong. These most recent episodes were discovered in Africa.People are still out searching for more. I posted a list in the Doctor Who thread of all 97 episodes still missing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I remember Terry Gilliam was talking about that at one point some years ago regarding Monty Python episodes that were found post American syndication and were very nearly destroyed. Terry Jones mentioned also that the first season or some shit someone had in a closet lol and gave a crap so it was saved from the Beeb also. So I believe there are missing Doctor who episodes. But just knowing how many exist already I cant believe there are so frikkin many Ok ok I gotcha now!

EagleMoon Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 The World Inside - Robert Silverberg. Always thought this would make a good movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anima Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Philip K Dick - Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? It's many years since I saw Bladerunner, which is supposed to be based on it, but there's a lot in the book which I don't think was n the film.

Alien Girl Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) The Many-Coloured Land -Bk. 4 (The Adversary) by Julian May Strange combination of sci-fi w/ elements of fantasy that my husband got me into...I'd never heard of the series before until he'd introduced me to them. I'm enjoying them, but they occasionally take a little more concentration than I'm used to, seeing as how I don't usually read the hard core sci-fi into which this series delves.

jefeltner11 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Definitely try "Out of the Silent Planet" by C.S. Lewis. It's a terrific novel, almost a classic! It's a good read and, I mean, did you read who the author was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anima Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I really like "Out of the Silent Planet" and think it can be considered a sci-fi classic. Brian Aldiss's history of science fiction, "Trillion Year Spree" rates it as a classic, though he didn't think so much of the sequels. They are OK actually, but very different. Perelandra (Voyage to Venus) was written at the same time as Lewis was writing an academic work on Milton's Paradise Lost, and it shows. That Hideous Strength is the weakest of the three, but better if you read the whole version; the abridged version doesn't hang together and misses the humour, which it needs.
