this close to writing a detailed defense of Love and Monsters

Sometimes I think about the kid who won the Blue Peter competition and created the Abzorbaloff. How does it feel to traumatise your own generation?

RTD should put the Absorbaloff in the 60th just to fuck with people.

Love and Monsters

[doctornolonger]

I think one of the main reasons Doctor Who has so many spin-offs is because the BBC did (or still does idk) give writers copyright to their creations, hence why spinoffs can be made and the BBC doesnt have any say in it despite the connection to Dr.Who or at least that's my understanding of it.

I completely agree: this was definitely the case for “classic” Doctor Who, at least. Unfortunately, I have reason to believe that this is no longer the case with NuWho: I was recently in touch with the creator of the Absorbaloff, and he said that, if authors create original monsters or concepts for a NuWho story, they’re not able to use or license them for anything else without the BBC signing off.

It makes me sad that, should Doctor Who be cancelled sometime in the future, there’ll be an absolute dearth of NuWho spinoffs: some of the funnest parts of the (first) Wilderness Era were BBV’s individually-licensed Zygon and Auton homevids, but we won’t be able to get the same thing with the Krillitane or the Janus. It makes me worried about the franchise’s long-term future.

For all the cringe of Love and Monsters, let’s remember that the Absorbaloff design came from a design drawn by nine-year-old William Grantham who entered a Blue Peter design competition for a Doctor Who monster. Gotta admit, the end result is pretty faithful to the drawing, mohawk, back hair, loincloth, and all!

A-Z of Matt Smith’s First Doctor Who Experience Visit: Part Three

Hello old friend, and here we are; you and me, on the last page.

It’s been a trip through Cardiff in no less than five TARDISes. It also features the phrase, “I feel like Dexter.” For those who have followed us on this…
