Exploration bucket list

[Willa Allason]

I'm somewhere in the outer Core on a meandering trip to Sag A* and I've got a list of things I must be the first to scan:

One of every star type - just missing a Wolf-Rayet and a Herbig B now. How many types of white dwarf are there?
13 Earthlike Worlds, named after the actors who've played the Doctor in Doctor Who - Up to no. 8, McGann
A ringed Earthlike
An Earthlike orbiting a neutron star
A nebula that no-one else has visited

Does anyone else go out with a bucket list?

 

[Gut Rumble]

Well I go out with a bucket ( must get that toilet fixed on the Asp before next trip)
.
There are 13 Dr Who's.....List them

[Gut Rumble]

Cushing's not canon

Assorted randoms who've filled in for dead actors (e.g. bloke who did Hartnell in The Five Doctors) or done any of the various internet/radio bits don't count.

 

[Gut Rumble]

Cushin did 2 films......McGann only did 1
.
Peter Cushing (26 May 1913-11 August 1994) played the eccentric Dr. Who in two mid-1960s movies (Dr. Who and the Daleks and Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.) based on the Doctor Who television series.

McGann's the 8th Doctor. Cushing is just some bloke* who played a similar character in a couple of films based on Dr Who.

* Also a fine actor who was in many other films that I absolutely love but that is not currently germane...

 

[Willa Allason]

Maybe I should find 14 Earthlikes cause Peter Cushing is awesome...

 

[Gut Rumble]

LOL , Cushin played a similar character.......Lol....he made the film Dr Who and the Daleks ( see above), must be another Dr tho...Tee Hee

He was even memorable in Star Wars

Cushing's Dr Who is a human inventor, not a Time Lord. The films are based on Dr Who, they have Daleks and they call the protagonist Dr Who but he was not The Doctor.

@Willa - bet you weren't expecting this when you brought up The Doctor

So he invented the TARDIS then ,because he had that with him too

Yes, Cushing's character invented his Tardis. He didn't steal one from Gallifray.

Have you actually seen the Cushing films?

 

[Gut Rumble]

Yep seen both

 

[iain666]

Watch them again and pay attention to Cushing's character. Don't be seduced by a name, a Police Box or the presence of Daleks - he's not playing the Doctor of the TV series (and McGann's film). Who is actually a surname for Cushing's character - not a reflection of the question hidden in plain sight.
