Remembering the early days of the DW revival in North America

(You never saw this in the UK or US) (Source)

With the return of Russell T Davies upon us, there’s a lot of nostalgia for the early days of the Doctor Who revival, the years before ... well, name a controversy. Lots of hope in the fanbase that RTD will be able to bring back the feels of the early days (and not just among those who were too young to remember the heady days of 2005-2010). There’s also a lot of hand-wringing over the fact that outside the UK the series will be part of the Disney+ family. But non-UK networks have always influenced the show in a lot of ways. 

Not everything was good - I have some real negatives below - but here’s a quick list of memories of the early years of the revival, which began at a time the mainstream in North America was still very much of the mind of “Doctor who?” and dismissed it as a grainy old series that usually aired after Monty Python on PBS after midnight on Saturdays.

I remember:

* When we had to wait months between UK and Canadian broadcasts. Just imagine trying to avoid spoilers today!

* When the Sci-Fi Channel in the US allegedly rejected the show for quality reasons. So many American fans didn’t get to see the first series with Eccleston for about a year (or had to order the DVDs).

* When Series 1 did air in Canada, the CBC had Christopher Eccleston record intros, commercial bumpers and “final comments” that included a mixture of trivia and promos for a “visit the set of Series 2″ contest being done with the Canadian edition of TV Guide (ironic, I know). By the time Christmas Invasion aired, Chris had left so they had Billie Piper do the intros and bumpers for it. They dropped the gimmick for Series 2. Thanks to the TV Guide tie-in, Doctor Who also got its first-ever cover on the iconic magazine, albeit only in Canada.

* When most episodes of Series 1 ended on the CBC with short documentaries and interviews with the Canadian DW fan club; one of them I believe was responsible for spreading the notion that the 1996 TV movie was titled “The Enemy Within” (which was just a suggested title apparently).

* The difficulty in getting the Series 1 DVD sets in Canadian stores due to the “Doctor who?” factor. I recall I had to special order and it cost me close to $100 in 2005 or 2006 money. And at the time only one DVD retailer (back when they could be referred to in the plural sense) would touch it. Amazon wasn’t a thing yet.

* The CBC not airing the part of “World War III” that resolved the cliffhanger of “Aliens of London”. For the CBC that was their “dancing animated Graham Norton” moment.

* How the CBC, after the initial flurry of interest, seemingly forgot about the show (a charge made by the main Canadian DW fan club a few years later), resulting in Runaway Bride airing after Series 3 began, the main CBC never airing Voyage of the Damned at all (leaving the Series 3 cliffhanger unresolved), and airing a 42-minute edit of “Journey’s End” that was totally incomprehensible (and delaying the broadcast until after the DVD release of Season 4). Torchwood likewise was bounced around. Soon after, the CBC cancelled Doctor Who and Space Channel (now CTV Sci-Fi) picked it up, eventually airing Voyage of the Damned and moving to same-day broadcast with the UK. They also picked up Torchwood. (Sarah Jane Adventures only aired on the BBC Kids cable network and either was cancelled or the network folded so we mostly saw it on DVD only; K9 never aired here at all, but again was on DVD.)

* The CBC also never showed the Children in Need minisodes, so I believe we had to wait for DVDs before seeing the prequel to Christmas Invasion and the Time Crash crossover.

* The sea-change when Series 5 arrived; Sci-Fi (Syfy) in the US and Space were now airing it the same day as the UK, though for here they added a US-style prologue to the opening credits with Amy explaining the concept of Doctor Who.

* When Sci-Fi aired Let’s Kill Hitler in the US with a special animated mini-episode during the commercial break promoting a sponsor - something that would be absolutely unheard of on the BBC! (It used to be on Youtube but I can’t find it anymore.)

* The “good old days” when most of the “good stuff” (basically anything involving video or gaming) on the BBC’s main Doctor Who website was “geolocked” and inaccessible to North American visitors. Fortunately this didn’t include the minisodes created to promote Series 2, but people had to sail the high seas (or later turn to Youtube) to obtain stuff like the mini-episode Karen Gillan made as a tie-in with an Amy Pond game and some of the scripted stuff Sarah Jane Adventures had on its site, and the Captain Jack’s Monster Files webseries starring John Barrowman.

A lot of this is in the past - as far as I know there are no longer restrictions on BBC website content (or if there is, it ends up on Youtube in about 10 minutes anyway); same-day broadcast is the norm; it’s easy to get DW-related DVDs and Blu-rays (though it remains to be seen if we ever see anything from RTD 2.0 on permanent media here in North America with Disney+ in the picture); and the idea of Syfy or CTV Sci-Fi - or certainly Disney+ - taking a 75-minute episode and trimming 30 minutes out of it for broadcast as was done to Journey’s End is impossible to imagine. Sadly though, at least for now, the enthusiasm for the show where people did care that Let’s Kill Hitler had an extra scene for the US only, or that Billie and Chris recorded exclusive materal for the CBC ... it too is in the past. I hope RTD is able to restore it and prove you can go home again.

I'm still relatively new to the world of BL and not fully immersed in it yet either so I could potentially be working off only partial (or even slightly incorrect) information here BUT

Why do there seem to be so many remakes in the world of BL? Don't get me wrong, I know there are plenty in the non-BL sphere too (Boys Over Flowers seems to be a prefect example of a drama that has been remade by multiple countries about 5000 times) but it does feel like it happens more frequently in BL and I'm wondering why that is, especially when the shows they pick to remake are often considered classics or have their own very distinctive character that's... not necessarily conducive to a positively received remake.

Does it just feel this way because BL is a much smaller pool so it's easier to encounter remakes of shows we already know? Or is it because each BL producing country wants their own version of a hit BL series once they know it has a chance to be a success? Or is there another reason all together that I'm missing?

So, cross-culture adaptations of other work exist everywhere in media. It's not unique to BL. Every day I wake up and find that a new European country has decided to adapt Skam. The USA network show Eyewitness is an adaptation of Norwegian show. Shameless was originally a UK show. Same for Queer as Folk. The Cleaning Lady on Fox is an adaptation of an Argentine work. Being Human was adapted by SyFy channel from the UK. Here's a wiki page on this just focusing on America.

Coffee Prince is a popular (to put it mildly) Korean drama that has been adapted multiple times by other nearby cultures.

So, adaptations are fairly normal. We just notice it in BL because of the genre aficionados. Besides, Japan is the origin country and it's interesting to see what some of their beats look like interpreted in other cultures.

Also, it's hard to sell romance. BL is also a niche genre. They'll rely on any bit of familiarity to get the buzz going on a project. Even my doubts about My Love Mix Up will make people curious about it because Gemini and Fourth just picked up huge popularity from Moonlight Chicken and My School President. The fact that some of us are doubting them means people who love them are going to be even more excited because it indicates that GMMTV is putting a lot of trust in them. It also means that Kieta Hatsukoi fans are likely going to cross over in the first week at least even if it's just to judge the show.

Adaptations are just good business sense for both parties. The Japanese team gets to monetize their IP further, and it often leads to secondary purchases and engagement with the source content.

Movie Fun with Team Sherwood: The Robin Hood Film Duets

I'm impatient, so I just pushed "go" on my holiday weekend sales. That means my TTRPG Sherwood is $5.25 on Itch and DriveThru. So are My Chivalric Bromance and both versions of Dragonmaw Cave (all also on Itch where I'll get a bigger cut of the proceeds).

It also means I'm gonna talk about Robin Hood movies. Why? To celebrate! Also, on Tumblr, you can't mute me!

Before 1991, I'm pretty sure it was really rare to have a big Robin Hood cinematic release accompanied by separate TV movies, direct-to-video, and direct-to-streaming titles. Since then, it's become the new normal, with most big-screen Robin movies accompanied by a lower-budget limited release.

I'm trying to avoid spoilers below, but I make no promises since the story is old. If you're worried about them, you may want to avoid this.

1991

In 1991, we got a major cinematic release with a big name cast that was one of the highest grossing films in the US that year.

Then we got a good UK movie starring Uma Thurman and Patrick Bergin.

The UK's 1991 Robin Hood starts off in a gloomy, foggy, rainy England where Robert Hode offends a visiting dignitary (Jürgen Prochnow) here to marry to local Sheriff's niece (Uma Thurman's Marian), refusing to allow him to execute a poacher. Things progress, and as they do we go from a gloomy quasi-realism to a Midsummer Night's Dream surrealism. It's a strange transition, but it sure as fuck isn't a boring one. By the time the outlaws get into the Sheriff's castle disguised as Feast of Fools revelers (with Jeff Nuttall as Friar Tuck), it's unsurprising to hear the impious friar greeting the outlaws' defeated foes with "Welcome to Hell!"

Over in the US, the script and Costner's palpable disinterest in the film (and the role, his costars, the audience, etc.) were the twin black holes that no capable actor's efforts could escape. Well, almost because Alan Rickman (the Sheriff) and Geraldine McEwan (Mortianna) were both incredible—though both avoided sharing screen time with Costner—and Rickman improvised the only good lines in the film on his own.

2009-2010

No this isn't the same year. I know that, but I'm the person writing this, and I'm making up all of my own rules as I go.

One of the favorite complaints of film reviewers is that a movie "has nothing to do with the Robin Hood tradition." That's almost never true in any coherent sense of "the tradition." But then this set of movies happened:

In 2009, Robin Dunn lead Beyond Sherwood Forest, a SyFy made-for-cable film about Robin Hood finding a magical portal, talking to fey, and meeting a dragon.

In 2010, Ridley Scott released a Russel Crowe lead film that had jack shit nothing to do with the Robin Hood tradition.

Okay, technically, there are other Robin Hood films that feature the Magna Carta, but this was the first one that had Ridley Scott, Cate Blanchett, and a budget. But all they could afford was a weird Magna Carta conspiracy theory.

2018

By now, you're probably thinking that I just look at 2 Robin Hood films and just pick the one with the lower budget as the good one. But we've not gotten to 2018 yet. Two films came out this year: Robin Hood and Robin Hood: The Rebellion.

Neither was good, but there's a certain weird charm to Taron Egerton's portrayal (and Jamie Foxx's Little John was one of the more exciting revisions to that character's story I've seen in a long time). Egerton's probably one of the more charismatic actors to take on the role (next to Disney's red-n-furry guy, of course).

The Direct-to-Video Rebellion has a better premise and better ideas behind the script. It also had a really strong cast (Brian Blessed and Kristian Nairn are on the box cover, but neither are in the film for more than a few minutes). Like the wonderful Hammer films before it, it tries to focus on a single moment or mission in the Robin legend.

But then, it's just grim and joyless and devoid of substance as Zweihander. It's pretty sure it's got something important to say, but if that something was ever there, it got cut out in post.

2022

Finally, we get to this year with two direct-to-video entries: The Siege of Robin Hood and The Adventures of Maid Marian.

Marian isn't getting in competition from this guy, though.

You're probably looking at that cover, worried that you're going to judge the movie by the bad costumes and awful production design. Lots of RH movies I love have bad costumes and awful production design, though.

Paul Allica wrote, directed, and starred in this travesty, so all the blame goes to him. Before we get to the 20 minute mark, we've seen people clapping because a flamboyantly gay character got stabbed. Shortly after, we get a lot of racist bullshit about Asian Mercenaries being expensive but quiet and compliant. About 40-45 minutes in, we get the first fridging (but definitely not the last).

Don't worry though. There's still 70+ minutes left, all of it just as sexist and racist as before. (No more homophobia though: the one is dead.)

Allica and co have a background doing stunts and working as extras in martial arts films. Somehow, the fight scenes still suck. If Rebellion is like playing Zweihander with edgelords, Siege is like playing FATAL at a Q-Anon conference.

Filmed as the pandemic raged, the production faced a lot of challenges. The script might be weak and self-serious, but it makes up for some of it by keeping the action moving and the dialogue on point. Like some of my favorite Robin movies, there's no origin story here: Robin and Marian are on the run almost from the start. Marian is leaving Kirklees and Robin back from King Richard's endless wars, but they discover one-time Sheriff is hunting for them. Lead by Sophie-Louise Craig (with Dominic Andersen and Robin), this is a quick-moving take on Robin's encounters with the Prioress of Kirklees in the ballads, possibly the most interesting one since BBC's Legend of Robin Hood or Robin & Marian. (That's not the spoiler you probably think it is.)

Wynonna Earp gets one last outing on Tubi — what about the UK?

Thanks to Cancelled SciFi, we learn Wynonna narp is getting a final outing — the series ended on Syfy in 2021. It’s a series I’ve had interest in watching, but in the UK it’s on Sky, so not one I have access to. I understand US viewers have it on Netflix. I can’t find any information as to how long the licence runs. The final (?) outing is film length 90-minute special on TubiTV. More on the…

[d00mbunnie]

so I’ve been thinking a lot about the 13th doctor’s episodes and with what’s happening in the UK with trans rights. I live in America so it always seems to us like Britain is more progressive. When I first started watching Doctor Who it was the first season of nuwho. it was amazing to see big bi jack, but as amazing as that was, American censors cut out when Jack Kissed the 9th doctor. I didn’t even know till a few years later when I bought the DVD box set that it happened at all. when Nuwho came to America, it was on scifi (now called syfy ‘cause they don’t have any interest in scifi) and I wasn’t surprised they did that, the show was pg-14 back then now it’s pg.

but there’s more to censorship than just what other countries do to a show that has different standards. it’s also what the country of origin standards are. we know that there had been trouble with getting the scripts done and to the actors who didn’t have enough time to rehearse, in fact it seems like it was a disaster. but I sort of wonder if it was such a problem because of chinball’s being unfit or if things were constantly having to be fought over to stay in the script, especially things that ruined continuity in character development, especially with the doctor who only makes small comments about the change. we all know the I don’t know incels, fascist fandom, guys who complain way louder about anything that isn’t about them, they’ve forced even major studios to change things for the sake of pleasing them. but the BBC is a public institution, and people in power even outside the BBC, and I don’t think anyone who worked on Nuwho in Chris era or any other wanted it to fail, but by having what seems to be a lot of problems made the first female doctor fail, because while for a while now it’s made sense that there could be a female doctor, she is definitionally trans as the viewer see it.

because they best way to get rid of minority characters it to hey look this failed no one wants it.

even if in the doctor’s society it’s just a perfectly normal thing. it’s not like the BBC hasn’t been used for propaganda or to control public view of things, that’s part of the point of 1984, Orwell worked for them in radio. it is know that BBC has been very hard to work for all queer people and especially trans people. the higher ups may have wanted sabotage it. maybe I sound paranoid, but I remember as a kid having so many things cut out of shows to be ‘Americanized’ or rather whitewashed and made sterile. like Dic turning two sailor moon characters who were lesbians in to cousins O_o. and as a lot of people in Britain think that’s just crazy puritanical American, but honestly every thing that’s inherently messed up in country well it used to say British all we did is cross off britain and write in America and that includes puritanism and American exceptionalism. it’s not a big difference between us. and honestly Orwell warned y’al about following America path.

if anyone knows more about what happened. I’d love to know.

Did you ever try the show Being Human? If not, huge rec. It's about a ghost, a vampire, and a werewolf sharing an apartment together. Personally, I prefer the BBC version (that came first.) True, the world building can be uneven and random (ghosts can be seen by ordinary humans, no they can't, yes they can.) Worse, 3/4 of the main cast leaves after s4, despite leaving a setup for this big supernatural battle that was supposed to happen. You might just fall off at that point---a lot of fans did. Meanwhile, the SYFY reboot keeps the main characters all the way through, and gives them a much better, well deserved ending. Smoothes out some of the iffier plotlines and world building, too.

BUT.

I've watched both. And I just adore the BBC cast, villains included. They have my whole heart. Just their chemistry, in a show about connection between people who are starving for it, who feel especially disconnected, dealing w ptsd, addiction, etc. They're so endearing and funny, and when they cried over each other, I did, too. (But I'm a huge sap. But I didn't cry over the syfy version even once.)

Hey anon!

You know I have a vague memory in the back of mind of Aiden Turner playing a vampire and Russell Tovey as a werewolf and it airing on BBC Three in the depths of my subconscious. So I either saw an episode or some clips about it but it definitely sounds like my bag so thank you for the rec I think I will watch the UK version seeing as that's what I remember and will be familiar to me. It's always a shame when cast leave just because you have your faves and it's never quite the same!
