superb. this whovian loves what you've done. 'doomsday' always brings a tear to my eyes. i shall now look at your other works.
3:22 soon the crucible will be complete the daleks have waited long for this ultimate destiny now the daleks are the masters of earth!!!!
25:00 The tree *is* playing the music because when Rose and Jackie get into the hall, further away from the tree, the music gets quieter, then it gets louder again as the tree gets closer, meaning the music is coming from the tree itself.
I still thought in the 3rd Johnny English Movie by the Prime Minister (played by Emma Thompson) is that Theresa May
"The role of Liz Truss is featured in a brief, non-speaking cameo" by whom? Herself
Fantastic cover!
Why is CZcams recommending just now? This is incredible
This is great. Finding this for the first tim. It fits together so well!🎉
Check out our later pieces!
@@StephenAlexander Gladly. I love the Dalek one. Sounds great!
Great interview!
42:19 No one asked for a recreation, Ben, but at least some of us appreciate it anyway! The first thing I did on CZcams back in 2010 was an extended version of "Hanging on the Tablaphone," and I remember being excited to get my first ever comment on it. So I'm tickled to hear Stephen's a cappella take on it. :P Anyway, if you ever want to talk about-or recreate-Murray Gold music, I will never, ever, EVER object (even if Ben will!). ;)
27:38 "Jo Bo, Jo Bo, Do Bo, Jo Bo, BOO. JOOBILY-DOOBILY-BOO!" :D
This should be the new Patreon jingle
@@StephenAlexander I'm very happy with the current "Patreon, Patreon, Patreon SHOUTOUT!" one! Such an earworm. But maybe keep it in mind if you ever get as far as Fugitive of the Judoon... ;)
It really seems that the "marmite" reception has been tilting ever more toward "beloved all-time fan favorite" in recent years. Perhaps that's just what I'm getting from the Doctor Who Twitter community, but I think Ben's opinion here is a **lot** more out of step with most fans today than it would have been in 2008! At least the blow was softened a bit by Ben absolutely **loving** Forest of the Dead. :P
You know, "The Gloom" is actually a pretty good name. It would probably stick in the memory of an average viewer a lot better than Vashta Nerada! A genuine naming hit from Ben, who often provides hilarious nonsense like "Squibbly-Dibbly"... but we love him for that. ;)
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!
Wow. Interesting.
At least do a trailer of an audiobook like the others because I get confused of what be happenin in podcasts
Sorry but no one is forcing you to listen to the podcasts! 😂 The content I’m putting out has changed for the moment. I’m not saying I won’t do any more audiobooks, because I’d love to, but they’re not my focus at the moment.
Bruh
Do chronicles of narnia
"WE! WANT! THE FOOTAGE!" I'm clapping with you, Ben! ;)
It's up on our TikTok and Instagram!
Excellent, massive Sherlock Holmes
😈 *promo sm*
I miss Fairy Tale Friday there are many more stories I'd love to hear you read, like the Snow Queen, the Ugly Duckling, Rumpelstiltskin, Little Red Riding Hood, and The White Cat,
This should be a movie instead
I’ve gotta check out the sequel movie and see if they followed this ending as well.
If they made this into a movie today, people would say it was a trans agenda. This ending blew my mind! 🤯
When are u doing audiobooks of Oz again I miss it so much there’s no other audiobook of Oz is better than yours
Thank you, that’s honestly so lovely to hear ☺️ My energy and time is focused elsewhere for now but I do hope to produce more audiobooks in the future. No specific news yet though!
@@StephenAlexander but everyone I know is counting on u to make more audiobooks 🥺especially of Oz. Like please just this once pls do Dorothy and the wizard in Oz cause my friend and I really want to hear the beautiful sounds and music u make cause the podcast their great but every time I look at them I start missing the audiobook
Yeah 🙏 go back to doing audiobooks and Oz books please
Man for real cause we all like to listen to the other audios but they’re not the same, and not to be rude I think everyone else that used to u misses the audiobooks
Quite good.
When are u going to do more Dorothy and the wizard in Oz along with other audiobooks😩
My friend keeps asking how long is about time going to be going on
In a good way or a bad way? 😂
@@StephenAlexander good way
@@Brentonthemagnificent2787 Haha 😂 Well I’m not sure, I guess we’ll keep making it until Ben gets bored of it 😂
Great music! Any chance there is a string quartet version of the music I could purchase? Our HS string quartet has been asked to play for the Pygmalion production at our school.
Hi! Please send me a message via my website (stephenalexanderwillis.com) and I’d be happy to discuss!
Uh-oh. I'm never gonna hear "My Angel Put the Devil in Me" again without thinking of... THIS! :P
Haha, sorry! Did you get my message on Patreon?
@@StephenAlexander Yes! Apologies, I've been meaning to since joining the Donna Tier! I'll have to go with the Ninth Doctor. ;)
Fantastic choice ;)
Love this one! It's definitely going on my writing playlist
This is fantastic! I still play your arrangements from series 1&2 on piano all the time, thank you for sharing
the idea that this doctor was brand new, his tardis is brand new every time, we didnt get to see what he would have been like after a bunch of adventures
there was a special where he turns into the war doctor. theres also a argument the here lied, or he was the only doctor that was half human.
I have so many issues with this movie. Paul McGann was about the only good thing.
Sounds fantastic- I'm going to be that guy asking about software...
This is better than the original
This is most likely how it's going to be in the show
Great work!
Nice podcast! I’d also love to see yall faces and reacts during the episode ❤
That was brilliant 😂
Stephen, you dont give yourself enough credit. You both have such wonderful voices, i could listen to you sing or hum all day
Is this happening in real life
Not sure if you guys are aware, but the monster was based off the winner of a childrens doctor who drawing contest!
Yes, if you listen to the episode we actually discuss this :)
@StephenAlexander whoops ive been listening to the podcast while going to sleep and i must have fallen asleep before getting to that part haha. I love the podcast, and you guys have such calming voices :) i just broke my ankle and this podcast has saved me while waiting for the anniversary 💙
@@racheycar Aww sorry to hear about the ankle! Wishing you a speedy recovery, and glad the podcast is able to help in some way :)
When ben mentioned opening the tardis i was so surprised, hes actually amazing at predicting storylines
It's amazing isn't it!
@StephenAlexander every ep i watch he gets more and more accurate! Hes got a gift lol
MAGNIFICENT ❣️👌🏽 I’m so subbed!!🙏🏼❤️
Ben practically took my breath away with TWO of his off-the-cuff predictions in this episode. I'd love to see Stephen's face in those moments, trying not to give anything away!
Amazing
This fan orchestra needs to come back.
I became interested in reading the Time Machine for the book was in my library via iBooks, then I thought to try and listen to a few audio readings and then I thought "Wait, didn't that Steven guy make a recording?" And lo and behold you did! And a wonderful recording it is. I like how your audio books have a bit more 'bells and whistles' to them compared to what you'd normally find on something like Librivox or something. Well done! 👍
I'm so happy to hear this :) thank you!
