Baz GreenlandHOST
I bear in mind, you're going to pick the last one.
Baz GreenlandHOST
So I'm like, do I pick Liz? Sure.
Baz GreenlandHOST
Do I pick Ace? No, I'm going to have to go because just in case you don't pick it, it has to be Sarah.
Baz GreenlandHOST
Sarah is magnificent.
Ben GreenlandHOST
You don't like us
Baz GreenlandHOST
much, actually, do you? I do.
Baz GreenlandHOST
I prefer Liz Shaw, though.
Baz GreenlandHOST
Maybe I'm a Liz's third Doctor fan.
Al DewarGUEST
I love it.
Al DewarGUEST
The minute I saw the Liz Shaw Cad, I was... absolutely beside myself.
Al DewarGUEST
I was like, holy crap, knocked out of the park.
Al DewarGUEST
But far and away the best figure we've ever done.
Al DewarGUEST
And because I absolutely love Liz Shaw as a character anyway, I really wish I'd managed to meet Caroline John, but because I love Liz Shaw, yeah, that one was, personally, was an absolute joy.
Al DewarGUEST
The Yeti was an interesting one because...
Al DewarGUEST
i think i think my big worry there was compared compare and contrast was that the original yeti sculpt was the one that from webber fear was one everyone assumed would be coming out and then we did a massive bait and switch and did the the 1967 abominable snowman one uh which i still argue is the right one to do we already had the second doctor for a coat tardis part of that set it was um but it was it was a whole lot of things on the yeti that were just not right the articulation would have been important there wouldn't have been any articulation we would have been able to articulate the arms and maybe the maybe the waist and then uh the head wouldn't have probably had any articulation because it was and it was too small it was it was tiny I remember the day I literally got the sculpt out and put it next to the Doctor, and I was like, that can't be right, because the Yeti's almost the same size as the Doctor.

Al DewarGUEST
Marketing people are basically saying, this is our plan, this is where we release.
Al DewarGUEST
And now the fact that he can then literally bring it, get sent, and Joanne, our engineer, who's brilliant, has kind of just embraced that and kind of like, she's almost like, well, has Andrew seen it and I'm like well he's looking at it now kind of thing and so it's been good and even when the Tom Baker where I was never happy with the deco on the original paint master and I kind of said well that looks a bit weird and I was looking at the first shots and I even sent those back in and sort of said to Andrew what's going on with the face here because it's a bit odd so we were looking at the CAD and looking at the figure and we sort of realized that the with the sort of hairline was a bit lower and the eyebrows which as Andrew pointed out are virtually non-existent in a way suddenly are kind of like very bold and right up under the hairline so it was it was throwing a whole load of stuff out so yeah it's a it's brilliant it's brilliant to be able to kind of have that really little bit more fluid work thing going on I think
Andrew TealGUEST
think we started it was that Liz Shaw as well I noticed today looking back through some old pictures when we did Liz because we're using a pre-existing body the inner core she it's quite thin but on top of that we're sculpting a flexible outer dress but it's still got to be of a certain thickness and she started looking a little bit fat.
Andrew TealGUEST
And when the factory sent it back, she looked a little bit fat because they have to put around the back.
Andrew TealGUEST
If you imagine a split line
Andrew TealGUEST
about.
Andrew TealGUEST
It needs to be that way just to get it out of the tool sometimes.
Al DewarGUEST
Yeah, but it's astounding how good that Liz Shaw figure is, and how well it works.
Al DewarGUEST
She's got a bow-jointed neck, and I know the argument is, well, her hair's over her shoulders and she can't really move, but you can move it a little bit, and it is nice, but it's just a, you know, kind of one.
SiHOST
And we find out that now it's 2013.
SiHOST
And this is John Pertwee arriving with Liz Shaw in tow.
SiHOST
which is great to see.
SiHOST
I got a real kick out of Liz Shaw coming back in The Five Doctors as well, because she only had that one season, didn't she, originally? So when she went, it was a real shame.
SiHOST
They're talking to Pauline and Kathy, who are talking about, oh, I wish Arthur was still alive.
SiHOST
I don't know the timeline, but I think Arthur was still alive in 1993 in the show.
11 MINS LATER
SiHOST
Yeah.
DanHOST
Transforms into John Pertwee.
JimmyHOST
I think it's almost a bit of a shame that they didn't follow through with that.
JimmyHOST
I love the Brigadier and I'm glad we got him in the new series here in the Sarah Jane Adventures, but I think this would have been a brilliant end to sacrificing himself to save the world from the destroyer so yeah it's almost a shame it didn't work out but I'm glad it did and that they got that lovely little scene at the end with family and all the girls going off in Anselm and Lorne and so on but yeah it could have been very different I loved the throwbacks like the Liz Shaw security pass and just casually mentioning things like that I did find it odd that they said Zbrignia used to work with the Brigadier and yet they didn't do anything with it.
JimmyHOST
Like they didn't have the meat at all.
JimmyHOST
It's I'm surprised Big Finish hasn't done something
MarkHOST
Anyway, so then we have a two-parter called The Crystal Ship.
MarkHOST
This features a character called Liz Shaw, who
JoeHOST
is working.
JoeHOST
She ain't been introduced yet.
JoeHOST
So I
MarkHOST
thought, well, she's just a guest character here.
MarkHOST
So Liz Shaw is working on this British rocket group thing with this scientist.
MarkHOST
Of course.
Toby HadokeHOST
Even the very best of men, and these two are, can be products of their time and or have personal flaws.
Toby HadokeHOST
I think it helps that Isabel and Zoe have each other, whereas a Liz Shaw is all by herself in Doctor Who and the Silurians, which, whilst probably realistic for Malcolm Hulk, just feels a bit sad and frustrating.
Toby HadokeHOST
I also greatly enjoyed Vaughn swivelling casually in his chair and Brig having to corral a Scooby-Doo gang.
Toby HadokeHOST
Excellent stuff.
Ioan MorrisGUEST
And that's happened throughout Doctor Who, really, like as much as I like Joe Grant.
Ioan MorrisGUEST
When Liz Shaw comes in, it's a really strong version of the show, when the Doctor has someone who matches him, and then they back away from it.
Ioan MorrisGUEST
And the same happened when Catherine Tate came in in the new series.
Ioan MorrisGUEST
You actually have a strong enough character to go against the Doctor, so they're actually a partnership, not two levels of a relationship.
TroyHOST
But the fourth Doctor set, season 14, is up on Character Options' website now.
TroyHOST
If you bought set three, which is the Liz Short and Primord, which, by the way, sold out, the classic set sold out as well, they've got to be so happy with how well these sets are performing, and rightfully so.
TroyHOST
It's fantastic to see.
TroyHOST
Although...
