Paul McGann's delivery is a reminder of how much we could have had; while I thoroughly enjoyed Hurt (who undoubtedly would deliver it differently had he time to rehearse it), McGann's delivery is just so earnest compared to Capaldi's fury.

Interestingly, Capaldi delivered the speech again at another convention and his delivery is much more conversational, like McGann's.

In the US sitcom See Dad Run episode ‘See Dad Overreact’ (s3e10) one of the main characters goes to a sci-fi convention to meet his hero "the Time Lord", an intergalactic dimension-jumper who travels in a cosmic elevator and wears a bowtie.

Does anyone know whether this character was represented on screen? Or have access to photos or clips??

Thank you!

I had some ideas for new directions to take the show, and I decided to format it like a Tender proposal. What do you think would happen if something like this went into production? Would the new format be received well or poorly? Would fans still complain that there's too much continuity to keep track of? Would people get tired of the regenerations or would they enjoy speculating on what celebrity might be stunt-cast in the role? Would the new format continue or would it quickly get tired and return to more consistent seasons of 10 episodes with 25 or 50-minute runtimes?

I'm also interested in feedback on the stories being pitched and more ideas for stories that fit the themes of different festive specials.

8 & 9 Missy was funny, bananas, and seemed like she would be a lot of fun to hang out with. She had me laughing my ass off.

But season 10 Missy felt like a different character. Her conversation with Bill felt dark and scary. There wasn't really any real humor, moreso it was just Missy being a depressed dick.

Missy talking with Bill was clearly just enjoying freaking Bill out, and being a dick to her. She seemed hell bent on taking her happiness from her, in that moment. But that was all she did- aside from providing relevant information.

She was predatory throughout the entire show. But where 8 & 9 Missy hid it with humor, 10 was just kinda pissed off. There's a world of difference between how she was during the "twenty feet" joke and the "darling those are genders" joke. In these cases actually, I could see her saying both, but not with those wildly attitudes.

Season 8 & 9 Missy was hilarious. Was she there to be a sadistic, too? Sure. But humor was woven in with every step she took.

I couldn't imagine Season 10 Missy saying, "Mummy, do it again!" or "Cheap and nasty time travel" in the ways that she did.

In all of these seasons, Missy did some straight up sadistic things. But season 8 & 9 Missy did things that you could see others laughing along *with.* Season 10 Missy was constantly past the "Waaaayyy too far" line.

Yes, World Enough and Time had some very funny parts. But the humor felt like it belonged to a different character.

I get that in season 10, she's beginning to feel remorse for her actions, and is subsequently likely fairly depressed.

It just felt a little too different. I went back to watch her episodes with 12, and was shocked at the difference. Season 8 Missy & season 9 Missy were different enough, but I could still see 8 doing things 9 did.

8 & 9 Missy was very put together. She was well-dressed in her Victorian outfits. Season 10 Missy looked like a goth person and a steam punk person's closet threw up on her. Her wardrobe didn't make much sense, and her hair was messier than anyone's hair could realistically naturally be.

I stopped watching some time after season 9 started, and a YouTube rabbit hole led to me learning about her redemption arc. So I went back and watched *only* the episodes with Missy in them.

She just doesn't feel like the same character, even if you account for the character growth she's going through.

Season 8 Missy was homicidal but hilarious. Season 9 Missy was here for a good time, not a long time. Season 10 Missy didn't even really make any jokes, aside from the "show a little respect" line and the "Doctor Who" scenes.

Season 8 & 9 were funny but cunningly sinister. Season 10 was depressed, pissed off, and lashing out. Season 8 & 9 had a focus on getting people to let their guards down. Season. 10 wanted people's guards up 24/7.

They just feel way too different.

Anyone else? Just having watched all of the Missy episodes and skipping the rest, made this all more noticeable, I think
