MICF - Splendid Chaps (2)

Splendid Chaps - “Comedy”
13th April 2013

Walking from the Princess Theatre to the Trades Hall was an eerie experience, there was no foot traffic at all, just myself, and the many cars on the road (along Spring Street and Victoria Street) between the Theatre and the Trades Hall, it was quite odd.

The final show of my night was the second part of Splendid Chaps on the Fourth Doctor and Comedy.

Featuring Adam Richards and Josie Long. The latter of whom has appeared on several Doctor Who DVDs giving her thoughts.
She did look somewhat like she'd just rolled out of bed, but maybe that's just her look.

It was a continuation of the Fourth Doctor and comedy discussion.
And they ran out of time, it felt like they were just getting stuck into the subject when they seemed to run out of time.

It was enjoyable and funny and Adam Richards really knows everything about Doctor Who (well he did dress in a Dalek dress in Outland).
Josie Long somewhat less, though I did like that she said she was a fan of Sylvester McCoy's 7th Doctor. My favourite also.

Petra was again inside the Dalek doing standup at the start, she does a good Dalek.

I would however pick her up on her bit of history. Dimensions in Time was a charity production not really the 40th anniversary, that was intended to be The Dark Dimension that never got off the ground. Dimensions in Time is like Time Crash or The Curse of Fatal Death, except exceptionally more shit.

There was discussions of Prison in Space which was recently produced by Big Finish and which I'll have to listen to, supposedly it's accurate, well produced and completely awful.

Also, I won the door prize, but already had the DVD, I told them to redraw it. I already had it. I could have taken it, had a second copy of the Shada box set, but why do that? I could've eBay it, but would never be bothered and someone who doesn't have it might as well have it rather than me, have it and enjoy it, spread the Doctor Who love.

The song at the end was the same song as last week, from Doctor Poo.
Which was a little odd that they decided to have the same song from last week, maybe it was a continuity issue.

Looking forward to the next Splendid Chaps “Who and Books”. Some of my favourite Doctor Who stories are those in books published during the “Wilderness Years” from 1990 through to 1996 and the second gap from 1996 through to 2005.
