apart from the controversie, this was actually better than Doctor Who back in the 90s, in terms of visual effects, which is no surprise actually for BBC back in the 90s.
Am I the only one who actually loves the effect of the TARDIS landing by just glitching into existence instead of slowly fading in like it usually does? It makes it seem like the TARDIS just warps and distorts time around it wherever it goes.
For at least one person on earth, this was their first introduction to Doctor Who. Imagine being this person, thinking "Hey, that phone commercial from way back was pretty cool ! And the actor was very good, I wonder if they ever went further with this 'Time Lord' idea ?" and then discovering it's THE BIGGEST SCI-FI TV SHOW OF ALL TIME.
I wonder what might've happened if they had been able to get Tom Baker back as The Doctor for the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie. He could've easily slipped back into the role.
🎉 But then we would have had To make the eighth doctor non cannon. This actually does fit into cannon because the curator a doctor From the far future of visiting a favorite face.
@@plantainsame2049 No, Tom baker would then have become both the 4th Doctor AND the 8th. The TV movie would have led to a revived series with the possibility of Paul McGann becoming the 9th Doctor. The result would have been that Doctor Who's revival would have come much earlier than 2005.
@@plantainsame2049 Sylvester was the 7th Doctor. Therefore, it would have to be him in the beginning. I don't think Tom Baker would have come back only to have himself written out. In fact, the whole script might've been changed if he had been involved.
Everything just cannon And there is a lot of slightly meta advertisements With tom baker as the doctor and I like to think that they're all the curator and he can just straight up, break the fourth wall Since you know the doctor at the end of the line
You gotta love how in the first commercial, the Doctor slamming on the TARDIS is just something all fans can smirk at knowing how every Doctor has done it.
@@adamo1528 no, because the 4th doctor died young, so it is obvious that he is the curator. (I don't doubt they got the idea of this commercial, and canonized it)
this investigation really served to inform me about the pestilence that is bumping and what we can do as a society to better prepare ourselves for the dank memes we will encounter along the way. highly recommended.
