He is, of course, the Dave Ross who played the first version of Kryten in Red Dwarf. This was where he first gained an interest in robotics and also decided that emotions were a weakness. Thankfully in later appearances Kryten was played by Robert Llewellyn and not David Gooderson.
I love this series, and I have an idea for possibly an episode about 1 topic, or maybe there's enough EU material to give other reasons - but an episode about all the different explanations for why people forget aliens exist on earth would be hilarious. The RTD era itself gives like 2 different answers, and the moffat era barely tries to explain it. It'd make a good episode I think.
I kind of love how this points out how messed up canon is. He may not like Chibnall era much but he isnt going to complain about how it ruined canon forever, no, he just mocks how there is such a crazy canon!
Oh no- I'm not at the end yet and I havent reacted to any classic Davros stories- Should I hold off on watching this video before my view of him becomes corrupted?
One of the Big Finish stories states that it was Davros' _girlfriend_ who invented the Daleks. Edit - it's the story called... 'Davros', part of a triology with crap 'Omega' and superb 'Master.'
Honestly, that end bit is so true. I went to rewatch them all a couple days ago, and found I actually missed a few when they were uploaded. So that was a nice surprise
I really liked Rose Tyler: The Dimension Cannon. A lot of Big Finish's spin-offs are awful, but this one slotted really well into where it was meant to happen in the story. It really felt like this was what Rose was up to all that time. And Clive is wonderful and I love him.
it amazes me how you manage to pump so many of these out, especially recently, but still make great videos and find the best bits of who lore, good video Davis
Speaking of loch ness monster, watching the scene where the doctor is running from the loch ness monster over the hills with the Murray Gold "Westminster Bridge" music playing, is the most pure doctor thing I've ever seen. Like mayonnaise and chips.
Dave Ross, just chilling in his mums basement, smoking some of the dank dank skaro weed while a civil war happens upstairs. "Dude, how about we like, take the mutated remains of the Kaleds, put them into giant pepper pots and turn them into Nazis?" "Dave that's the dumbest idea ever it will never catch on" "Just watch me Dude I'll make it work and make Terry Nation a bunch of money and like an estate and shit" "Dude who the fuck is Terry Nation?" And thats the Genesis of the Daleks
Past me, present me and future me are all simultaneously working on episodes, but we obviously have little communication between us. It's really annoying and temporally irresponsible.
Ah, you assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.
Davros actually did not create the Daleks twice, the idea for the Daleks was revealed to be someone else's in Big Finish's "Davros". Davros is a great story, by the way. It's a *Davros* story, without the Daleks involved, and it's wonderful.
As much as I really like Capaldi, I want to attach something to the casing, bring back Gina. One actor known for playing angry guys and another for being a fighter irl.
Very good. If I may recommend stuff what about the fact Shirley Williams was PM after Jeremy Thorpe? Or that Kenneth Clarke was PM? And the joke tweet from Jonny Morris when he said Harriet Jones aunt Brenda Jones was PM. Also what about Dodo in Who Killed Kennedy and the 20th anniversary edition you can easily find online where she survives! I told writer on Twitter it improved the story and he liked that! But apparently she's dead by 2016 here yet in Farewell Sarah Jane she is still alive. Huh.
Across just three books Sarah Jane Smith and Ace got killed off, Dodo Chaplet was almost r*ped, and Gallifrey was retconned out of existence. They weren't consecutive, but it still gives you an idea of how incredibly dark they could be at times...
@@Ben-vf5gk Well, too be fair, Doctor Who had been canceled on TV and seemed destined for obscurity. So its understandable there would have been a bit more nihilism and more of a "do whatever you want" attitude. And in some ways that was good and resulted in some interesting stuff, but yeah, there are some distinct similarities to 90s comics.
@@themetaphysicalgentleman Not sure when it came Nekromantia is a textbook example of the thing that plagued comics. Androzani wasn't awesome just cause it was dark.
I'm super late to this, but I just learnt that according to Paternoster Investigations (Victorian era book for the Roleplaying Game) the Zygons saved the Borad so he offered his services to them. He has kept himself alive through cloning himself with even a human clone known as Dr Karelov. He's confirmed to be working with the Napoleon of Crime in this book. The Napoleon of Crime is a Dalek who crashed from the Time War and has gotten too distracted playing Moriarty to Vastra's Holmes to actually get around to getting back to his unit.

But did Davros really create the Daleks? Are you sure it wasn't Yarvelling or the Halldons (who apparently were ancestors of the people who created the Forest of Cheem). And by the way, there may be as many as five different species on Skaro- the Kaleds, Thals, Dals, Tharons, and the blue-skinned Daleks

NEVER stop making these.
We'll stop and have a consider around episode 50 :)

I’m bloody loving these. This is what I live for.
I love the nonchalant rhyming of ‘the skarasen in comparison’. True poetry.
Speaking of loch ness monster, watching the scene where the doctor is running from the loch ness monster over the hills with the Murray Gold "Westminster Bridge" music playing, is the most pure doctor thing I've ever seen. Like mayonnaise and chips.

I love that the Clive's Website still exists.
I love these videos so much dude
almost 60 years of weird mysteries. Thanks, Davis.
Ive akready seen them all over and over, these are my addiction!!!!!!
I remember watching the Terri of the zygons and then reading the book with them in. You will enjoy the book if you haven't already
as someone who lives near loch ness i'll have to confirm this
I love how inconsistent the release schedule is for this series.
Sometimes you get 3 a month, sometimes you get 3 releases within a week.
Having no canon release schedule does seem thematically appropriate
Past me, present me and future me are all simultaneously working on episodes, but we obviously have little communication between us. It's really annoying and temporally irresponsible.

How the heck do you make so many of these? Oh and also make all of them just so wonderful!?
You should talk about the Doctor's bizarre relationship with Les Mis, and the strange Whoniverse life of Oscar Wilde, at some point.
Once, during Rose tweet along I tweeted that we all are clives in a way and a random Clive replied to me “some of us more so!”
He wasn’t even a doctor who fan, he was Just Clive
Can't believe Davros created the Daleks. What a twist!
