Thank you Scott. It was a simple question because I was curious. Ah interesting, I figured they were paid something just curious because I would think the BBC technically doesn’t have to pay them Genuine question or not, it's got absolutely bugger all to do with missing episodes, Scott, and you know it. It's a question about actors being paid in relation to the box sets. And again - for the cloth-eared who didn't hear in the first place - 'how much do you reckon they get paid', is nobody's damn business. You wouldn't want anyone poking about in your wage packet ( if you even work, Jake) to found out 'how much' you get paid, based on their reckoning. Someone lock this pointless out-of-place thread, or, based on Simon's sane suggestion, I say stick it up Out of the Archive's a***. Then we can move on to something that might bear fruit in the ME hunt.
Wow, are you ok Pal? This isn't a good look for you. The user was asking if actors still got paid if, for example, their audio was used on a reconstruction, it's an interesting question about missing episodes.

Funnily enough,when you watch interviews with Dr Who supporting actors they always say they still get cheques for 25p from the BBC in royalties!Something small or insignificant anyway.I suppose it's something that the actor's Union takes care of but it must be a sprawling and controversial topic that's probably never properly resolved.

Jake, stop coming on this forum with 2 user names. It isn't a good look for you. |

As this is about how they make dvds that include missing episodes, so it seems appropriate to me
From a usa perspective, i knew an actor who appeared in a 60s tv show and would get his small( under 10.00) check which was barely worth the postage. Since the 80s, actors here who have successful shows have often been able to generate more meaningful royalties. Often today, even with music, it's the publishers that get more than the artists.
To me, as most are now dead, it is more important to keep their legacy alive than tokens checks to relatives creating a situation where it might stop releases. Today there are shows in copyright limbo that many will not be able to appreciate.
To Andy. I hope there was something you felt we share in common that brought you here, and were open to being friends with you, but if you desire to fight or correct, it normally doesn't engraciate one to others.
I hope you're open to being happy with us, but if not, your own sake, would it make you happy to hang with people you like?

I will correct someone on here who is taking the michael out of everyone with ridiculous threads, goading and winding-up posters with attention-seeking comments, and patronising, passive-aggressive smileys. He is also posting dishonestly on here as 2-3 different users, pretending they are all seperate, just to back up what he's said & gang-up on indivduals. Unfortunately, George, you've unwittingly contributed to a thread created by someone who is trolling this forum under different aliases. Sad but true. |

It’s not necessarily a question about a release but anyway I’m not sure what/ where this board is? As this is about how they make dvds that include missing episodes, so it seems appropriate to me The releases don't contain missing material... as missing material is missing. The releases exist because of what exists, any relation to missing material is coincidental. The original question hooks around the line: "Are the Classic Doctor and Companions paid royalties/ residuals for the episodes that are put on Britbox or Blu-Ray?"This is squarely about existing material, and what's more - a release of it. I don't know why this is hard to grasp. The Out of the Archive boards exists for this. I'm not getting involved in the personal comments which are irrelevant and unproductive to the thread, however the matter of what this is about and where it ought to be are objectively clear. |

I'm not confirming or denying what you're saying. But such an accusation requires proof. Any proof you have, should be privately shared with management, who i suspect has access to ips to confirm or deny. The question is who made any of us the authority to decide what's ridiculous? We can share opinions, but i didn't see anything blatant from the other posters. One of the beauties in life is we can decide what information we have which would help the original posters quest. |

I can provide proof tomorrow, George. In the meantime I would say please don't encourage him, otherwise he will continue to have a laugh at our expense, indefinately. At least I've called him out, and he will know this now every time he tries to post something to get a reaction for attention, and the good thing is every one else on here will be aware from now on. |

You've got the attention and reaction you want in winding people up over the course of 2 days, so now jog on, Jake, with your patronising comments and pointless threads. This is rich, coming from you. |

fwiw there are some threads that could well go elsewhere. I always refresh the whole place which immediately flags up what’s new. I’ve started DW threads in “Inside the Spaceship”.
In terms of friends….. There are some very decent people here who I’d like to consider friends.

If not "friends", then at least "friendly"!

I even enjoy talking to those whose opinions I may not share as long as the conversation is respectful and rational. I think a general championing of the good behavior and ignoring the bad no matter how loud it gets is probably the best method |

I suppose it's the old adage that if you don't like the programme then just switch it off or change the channel.But Andy is right,it really isn't about missing episodes-just a query about actors' remuneration which is irrelevant to this forum.Because it's Dr Who I don't mind engaging in off-topic threads and the other main advantage is that it keeps traffic flowing to this site which isn't a bad thing either. However,over the last few days I have noticed posts which are deliberately designed to incite indignation amongst members which comes across as both sad and frankly,uncultured and juvenile and does the poster no favours.
