Coming soon, The Airzone Solution 2 starring Christopher Eccelston, David Tennant, Matt Smith, Peter Capaldi and Jodie Whittaker!

[@DalekTheSupreme]

The sad thing is, I would unironically watch that.

[@c.o7993]

@@DalekTheSupreme at least the acting would be good

[@JamesTobiasStewart]

I feel like they'd need to find a way to get Paul McGann in there since he missed out on the first one and then have like a prominent photo of John Hurt show up for reasons.

Origin of “Great Continuity!”

[@HiperPivociarz]

The Doctors all used the fob watch for some reason, and are now bothering each other.

"Nature will find a way" Someone watched Jurassic Park before hastily throwing this script together.

[@maxkennedy7430]

I wish Phelous did more Doctor Who related stuff and also review other BBV movies.

[@BloodrealmX]

We're gonna need an unofficial sequel to this. We can call it "The Bootleg Zones Salution".

This hits a little different in 2020

9:53 The birth of "Great Continuity!" joke.

[@yourmother7052]

I wonder if this was originally written as a Doctor Who special?

[@MinimalistTheatre333]

It's still better than the 30th Anniversary Special.

[@Shanethefilmmaker]

I often thought this was where the previous regenerations go after they die. They'd no longer be Doctors, but rather every day ordinary humans with some quirks and a need for adventure.

[@tjjordan4207]

Probably got rejected and then turned into this

[@gracekim25]

Mmm 🤔 probably

[@buzzingsigndiner397]

Thank you for pointing out that thing about reviewers having very little continuity about whether or not they've seen the movie they're reviewing beforehand. I'm glad _someone's_ self-aware enough to notice that issue.

[@93MANIAC]

You know the world is fucked when a silly made for TV sci-fi film that is about a massive corporation turning humans into mutant fish people ends up predicting the future

[@jsb8261]

Well this movie turned into an episode of Captain Planet halfway through it.

[@mlpfanboy1701]

Captain planet mixed with hp lovecraft.

[@BatSnakegirl]

This is like Edge of Darkness, but done completely wrong. Though, all the Doctors together at once is less obscure than Bob Peck having Joe Don Baker sharing the spotlight. It's super sweet that they were willing to get together for this.

[@mitchfletcher2386]

What lisp? I don't hear it.

[@wulfgar6749]

BBV Productions was a company formed by Bill Baggs who made low budget Doctor Who spin-off films and audio drama CDs. It's a massive shame they didm't get the recognition they deserved. The best place to find any of their products is on the Galaxy 4 website. Bill Baggs is currently working on another PROBE film in memory of Caroline John who played Liz Shaw at the beginning of Jon Pertwee's era and again in the PROBE films. She unfortunately passed away back in 2012 from cancer.

[@RydiaXizos]

So many Doctors, so much wasted potential. Damn amusing review though. :)

[@Jrez]

+RydiaXizos Agreed, amazingly wasted potential. It's obvious this was just an opinion-based pet project by whoever was responsible. I agree that pollution leading to human-based climate change is real, but this is so heavy-handed it overshadows the doctors. Enough to the point they could have honestly been an afterthought.

[@randalgraves6979]

It seems not a moment too soon!! 😐

[@flummox3d]

So many reviewers, so much fun :D I'm currently bingewatching Linkara from the beginning and then the continuity joke popped out, so I wanted to check out its origins. I wasn't disappointed. :D (and although I love meta stuff I still don't like Phelous' delivery for some reason, but this review is starting to change that I think :D)

[@Mario_Angel_Medina]

Watching this review in 2021 it feels sadly prophetic... (Also, it is the best Channel Awesome crossover I've seen so far)

[@gracekim25]

Yeah….😅

[@Cdr2002]

I quite enjoyed the storyline joke at the beginning. Although I think Linkara approached it from the wrong angle by trying to do another hypertime breakdown. In 2011, he would’ve been dealing with Lord Vyce or the Entity!

[@nicholashurst780]

The characters in this movie seemed to use their masks about like most people in the states have spent the last year using their masks, only when they think someone who will yell at them is watching

[@JamesTobiasStewart]

You know Airzone is lucky that was made near the end of Pertwee's career, otherwise he'd have gone full venusian on their cartoonishly evil arses, judo throws for everyone.

[@davidspring4003]

I get the feeling Tom's cameo was a reference to his "contribution" in the Five Doctors (which was a clip from an episode that, i believe, never aired, of him padling a gondola)

[@jessaminehaak8253]

When I was a young kid there were reruns of the old Doctor Who on ABCTV in the afternoons... I think I'm the only person whose favourite doctor was Jon Pertwee.

[@davidspring4003]

John Pertwee was, in my opinion, the first REALLY GOOD Doctor and established more for the lore than any other Doctor than MAYBE Hartnel (who, in my opinion, was awful.) So your opinion of him as your favorite may be unique, but it is by no means wrong.

[@DalekTheSupreme]

He's not my personal favorite (mine is Matt Smith, followed closely by McCoy and Eccleston), but I'm aware he's popular. I've only seen a handful of his stories, but what I've seen has me interested in watching more.

Shouldn't the government control our technology and how we live our lives? It's questions like that that could create stuff like Big Brother. No, not the reality show, the OTHER Big Brother.

[@TypeOLuigi420]

+PKMN37 My thoughts exactly.

[@iKadaj]

I don't know how people could honestly be bothered/paranoid by this sort of thing. Does no one ever really stop to think just HOW MANY people are in the world/the US/etc? There's no way anyone would have the resources to spy on every single person, especially when doing meaningless things like taking a shit. Would they have an entire wall full of tv sets just to watch one household? How many different buildings full of tv screens and how many hundreds of staff would it take to actually do this? Oh, and are the staff also being spied on? Spying on specific people that you have a reason to spy on when they're doing something important is one thing, but getting freaked out that everybody everywhere is being watched for no reason is so silly I can't believe anyone actually worries about that, as if the government really has NOTHING better to do than watch random unimportant people shit. Same for when people actually worry about the government listening in on their phone calls. Is there supposed to be several huge buildings completely full of staff who do nothing but eavesdrop on phones? Does no one ever think about how many phone calls are being made at any given moment and how ridiculous it would be to envision all of those phone calls being spied on when 90% of them is going to be "Hey honey, get some milk on the way home" and "I'm getting off work now, I'll be there in about 20 minutes, gotta get gas first." Come on. WHY would the government even need or want to hear nonsense like that? Unless you've done something that would give the government a reason to think you might be a terrorist or otherwise doing something the government would actually care about besides shitting or buying milk, this is such a pointless thing to think about.
