"What? WHAT?!? Oh, so it's going to be 'mine's bigger than yours!' now, is it?!?"

Doctor Who is celebrating its 50th anniversary as an iconic science fiction television series, so what better way to mark the occasion by looking back at the work of Tony Coburn, who wrote the first episode?

In fact, the writer's son Stef Coburn has launched a provocative copyright claim that argues that "Tardis," the time machine that looks like a blue police phone box, no longer belongs to the BBC.

The senior Coburn says that after his father died in 1977, rights reverted to the family. Any informal permission to use Tardis expired by now, according to Coburn's copyright claim, obtained by The Independent.

Doctor Who lasted for a record 26 seasons in its original incarnation, spawned a feature film and has been running again in new form on the BBC since 2005.

The BBC is reportedly investigating the complaint but has noted that there haven't been any challenges since a copyright registration in the 1980s.

I hope they show this at the beginning of the 50th Anniversary special.

 

Now they need to show the regeneration from Hurt to Eccleston.

At least we were correct about John Hurt being Doctor 8.5

Firstly, OMG wow. 

 

Secondly, they need to get this on TV before the 50th, otherwise people that don't search forums are going to be clueless about the reason he changed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They have posted it all over the place, on nearly every social network and they have advertisements in papers and on television pointing people to where to find the video. but i agrree it should be played before the episode.

His time in Luther really made me wish the BBC had kept Dr 8 going

 

Yeah I thought his little minisode here was really good, maybe someone online can do some fan films with him that would be cool. It was nice Moffat wrote that minisode as well

He's been in quite a few Dr Who audio adventures from Big Finish Productions.  Seeing as he named several of his companions from those stories in this minisode, I guess they're now considered canon!

    • ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE is currently $159.99 on Amazon, down from $219.99. That's 27% off and $60 saved on a keyboard that combines retro and modern design, while being one of the most responsive and adaptable 75% boards available right now (purchase link down below). The ROG Falchion Ace comes with the HFX V2X magnetic switches that allow you to set actuation anywhere between 0.1mm and 3.5mm with 0.01mm fine-tuning steps. It also comes with Rapid Trigger, a feature that resets the key the moment you release it rather than waiting for a fixed reset point, which makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced games. And finally, an 8,000Hz polling rate should make the response time feel instant. The build quality is decent, with dense plastic and powder-coated aluminum, which is expected from a keyboard at this price point. There’s also the onboard adjustment wheel, which lets you tweak actuation and Rapid Trigger sensitivity without opening any software. For competitive gaming, the ROG Falchion Ace is hard to beat at this price. And those who appreciate old-school hardware, especially those white keyboards we’ve all grown up with, will likely also appreciate the looks of this keyboard. A carry case is included.
