From The Trial of a Time Lord audio commentaries: Colin's cat badges

The Mysterious Planet

“That cat on my lapel, that’s Eric. In the second… in this series, the lady who made the cat badge that I originally used, I persuaded to do ones of my own cats. So each cat is one of my own. And that one was… he’s no longer with us, obviously, being 20 years ago, but he was a long-haired blind black cat, so you’ll notice the eyes are a little bit kind of opaque on it.”

Mindwarp

Nicola: Now, Colin, which cat was this? Colin: That’s Weeble. The cat badge was a caricature of my own cat. Philip (Martin, writer): Ah. Colin: And during this season… I had six cats at that time. And each cat badge was different for each story.

Terror of the Vervoids

“[To] those people who are interested in such trivia, in the past couple of episodes, the cats on my lapel were cats that were owned by me. Previous one was my cat called Weeble; the one before that was Eric. But this, as you can tell from looking at it, is just a cat badge. It’s not any cat in particular. There you are, trivia lovers.”

this week: bean remembers they like colored pencils (and Adric but we all know that)

Yes, that is Adric eating bread from Black Orchid, no I did not draw him well, yes I did make his hair fluffier there because the my butchered his hair in that serial.

close-ups on the ones I like the most:

Also my cat kept pestering me while I was Adricing (he’s a verb now) she may be baby but she demands my attention when the brainworms tell me it’s Adric time

okay, but why is he dressed like the 5th doctor there. knowing ford he wouldn't be a question mark collar guy but literally he has all the other bits of the costume. cosplay king

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN ONE THING LED TO ANOTHER FORD WHAT DID U GUYS DO

THINGS I NEED TO FUCKING KNOW: Why every fuckin trans man or nb person I know who binds is like “oh binders are the worst, you can’t breathe in them, I know someone who broke a rib once”,

And meanwhile over in historical costuming, we are fucking eating, sleeping, swordfighting, riding horses, and feeling great like this:

Like is there NO overlap between people who want to bind and people who care about accurate 16th century clothing reconstruction techniques?

(I, okay, maybe it is kind of a niche interest, but…. REALLY? Anyone who’s made a boned binder, PLS SPEAK TO ME)

I’m disappointed that in “it takes you away” (series 9 ep. 11) everyone’s dead wives show up and yet River Song doesn’t make an appearance because that would have been so funny and also so heart wrenching.

I think would add a lot to the plot because it would make the doctor’s decision to stay in the solitract make a lot more sense and make her eventually leaving it even sadder.

Also, it would be really funny with the doctor simultaneously trying to explain to the group that River is her deceased wife from when she was a man whilst trying to explain to River that she is a woman now. It would be even better if River was like “eh, doesn’t bother me”.

Having your main anxiety response be Avoidance is crazy cause you'll think you're chillin and then one day you're like waitttt I've been paralyzed with fear this whole time. Damn
