"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!

      Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
