Titolo: Delta and the Bannermen

My local PBS station is just up to Delta and I have a few 
questions.
1) The guy who plays the toll-port attendant is great, has
he ever done anything else?
2) Where did they get the guy who plays Agent Wiesmuller, the
one in the New York Yankees cap, who has the worst fake 
American accent ever in Doctor Who?

American accent ever in Doctor Who?
Blimey, um, he is ah, American......?

 That would be Stubby Kaye. An American. 
Ah, good 'ol Stubby. He is indeed American. From New York (sorry, New
Yawk), which may explain why some people find his accent terrible.
Old vaudeville entertainer, I believe. Appeared as Marryin' Sam in "L'il
Abner", one of the singing narrators in "Cat Balou," and as Marvin Acme in
"Who Framed Roger Rabbit?", along with...
Well, let's see if anyone knows what other character/actor from DW
appeared in "Roger Rabbit." He did only appear in one story. Any takers?

At a mad guess, Bob Hoskins, probably as third Kroton on the right or similar.

Played Forrester in "Planet of Giants"
and R.K. Maroon in Roger Rabbit.

 violence!
What violence? 
It's funny. 
And far better than say, "The Pirate Planet," to choose another humorous
episode.

Why is it far better, or is it just a personal opinion?

Well it *is* a personal opinion but, having just viewed both of them
in the last week, here's a few points of comparison.
The Captain vs Gavrok 
	Gavrok is a much better, well, less over-the-top villain.
	No "sky demons," or "die hag!" 
Mentiads, yuuck. Speaking of refugees from the Flying Circus...
The supporting parts in Delta are better acted in general.
Mr Fibuli was good though. And the Parrot.
Just in general, Delta is more Whoish.
It's not that I don't like Pirate Planet (or I wouldn't have shelled
out $20 for a copy of it last week) I just like Delta better. It's
better written and better acted.

IMHO, Time and the Rani becomes a classic

IMHO, Time and the Rani becomes a classic
bwaaaaahahahahahah...ahaa, huh..umm...pardon me <clears throat>
Ummmm...you are being *sarcastic*, right?..if that's the case then might I 
suggest you not include IMHO next time, unless it IS your *humble oppinion* 
that Time and the Rani really IS...he-he...a classic...he-he-he...
And if you are not being sarcastic then let me say ARE YOU !@#$ING INSANE?!? 
Now I'm no Sylv basher here (he ranks about 3 of 7 in my list & Delta is one 
of my faves) but TIME AND THE RANI?!? That has to be not only one of McCoy's 
worst serials but absolutely THE WORST regeneration story.
IMHO...hehehehe

To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kinda scary.
I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back
to the time I went to the circus and a clown killed my dad.

 regeneration story.
Interestingly (or perhaps not), I disagree strongly on both counts. For
me, both HAPPINESS PATROL [I know I know, let's not get into that, we've
only just finished from the last time] and PARADISE TOWERS rate far, far
lower than T&tR, and TWIN DILEMMA is clearly the absolute bottom-scraper
as far as first-after-regeneration stories are concerned. T&tR is I must
admit cringingly bad at times - what Mel story isn't? - but I love it. I
adore the Rani, who takes the mickey out of Mel here as much as she did
with the Master in her previous story, and with as much effect. I think
it's very fun, very silly, very well designed and rather glorious if you
manage to get into the right mood. You have to retcon Sylvester's habit
of falling over as being a result of having had much longer legs until
moments before, and just generally ignore Mel's eyeliner, but other than
that it works as camp children's nonsense. At least the production tries
to take itself seriously, and for that I feel it works better than a lot
of the later, post-modern McCoy.
Love and hugs,
Matt
