@pixelate @DavidGoldfield @xogium Goodness I can't remember names for hardly any one-story characters. They all go in one ear and out the other, unless they're especially bad ass. Take the dad. I don't remember his name, but I can picture his voice clearly and know the actor who played him, Paul Copply.

@pixelate @DavidGoldfield @xogium Spare Parts was a great story. Very well done.

@cublanco @pixelate Yep, Time War is up to their eighth boxed set, at least with the 8th Doctor. There are others, such as the War Doctor and Gallifrey.

@DavidGoldfield @pixelate Is there a series 4 of that?

@pixelate Right now, I'm replaying the 8th Doctor Time War series. I want to get the newer ones but before I do I want to replay what's happened. I forgot how good they were.

@pixelate @JustinMac84 @xogium I don't remember her, as I haven't heard that story since it came out. It was quite good.

@pixelate @xogium @JustinMac84 I loved Spare Parts. I only heard that once but that's one story I'd be happy to replay. They did a great job in showing the humanity of the Mondasians, which made their conversion even more tragic.

@DavidGoldfield @xogium @JustinMac84 Ugh yes, and Spare Parts! You gotta listen to Spare Parts! It's on Apple Music, Spotify, all that. Just don't listen to it at night or you'll be awake the rest of the night.

@spazahedron @Black_Flag I only ever got my hands on one, possibly two, both Doctor Who. Would have liked to check out more.

@JustinMac84 @Black_Flag I remember borrowing BBC Radiophonics Workshop LPs from the local library. Geeky pleasures

@JustinMac84 @xogium @pixelate I don't know if I'm alone in this but the "Tenth Planet" Cybermen are my favorites. Their voices had that combination of somewhat human-sounding with that odd, old time computer voice inflection that, to me, made them sound so frightening. The 1980s Cybermen did not sound emotionless to me. They sounded either angry, disgusted or like they were enjoying themselves. The new Cybermen sound like they're talking through a roll of toilet paper. The Nicholas Briggs Dalek voices, to me, are the best. They are menacing and absolutely frightening. Briggs has Dalek psychology down to a science.

@xogium @pixelate In universe, daleks are way better than cybermen. Their technology and means of reproduction are far more advanced.

@JustinMac84 @pixelate Hah that is fair!
Speaking of new cybermen vs daleks... I absolutely like this scene from the new show. It's ridiculous in a good way because it's literally two different systems trying to agree on a protocol and just failing.

Identify yourself!
You will identify first!
And then everything snowballs from there.

@xogium @pixelate That's just the new cybermen that make noise. I prefer the ones that don't. Yeah how the daleks got away without even being able to go upstairs for so long is a testament to their overwhelming cool, but also kind of ridiculous. Was fixed in 1988 though.

@JustinMac84 @pixelate More cool indeed. They make a ton of noise when walking, but at least you can hear them coming. Daleks are furtive type. And they can't even go up a flight of stairs because they use wheels ha ha ha.

@pixelate @xogium The sound design for the 60s cyber voices is the best robot vocal design I've ever heard.

@pixelate @xogium Big Finish do a lot of good titles. Quite a bit of crap as well, but that's to be expected. Dalek Empire is my favourite of dalek stuff that they do. Cybermen are great. It's weird, if you look at cybermen objectively, I thinkk they're cooler and more sinister than daleks, but there's just something about daleks, something about their presentation that makes them awesome.

@JustinMac84 @xogium My first exposure was, I think, The Impossible Plannet. Then I got all into the Cybermen. So, Cybermen 1 and 2 from Big Finish. Now I'm going back through the Classic and Revival series, and I've spent money mon Big finish. I respect that they don't DRM their MP3's.

@JustinMac84 Hmmm. Now that you mention it, it does make sense. There's a little something left over from the original sound in there.

And yeah I hear you about the reboot vs classic. I just hava a huge problem with classic, the sound quality puts me off every single time.
