Who Addicts Interview
Two weeks ago I started this blog and for two weeks I've been thinking about what I should post, I thought I wanted to do interviews on this blog, so I took to finding somebody to interview and they accepted, you know them from YouTube (and the title of this post) it's Who Addicts Reviews, before I get into the interview, firstly please subscribe to them as they are so close to hitting 10,000 and secondly please comment which Whotubers you would like me to interview in the future.
Favourite
Big Finish Doctor and why?
James:
My favourite Big Finish Doctor is Colin Baker's Sixth Doctor because he had
been given far better stories in Big Finish than he did in his televised run
and his Doctor had developed a lot more in the audios too.
Matthew
: It has to be
8, I don't know if it's because I loved him so much on screen so I want to hear
as much of him on Big Finish but his audios are very VERY good! I NEED DARK
EYES NOW!
The Wedding of River Song or Last Christmas?
James : That is a tough one! I'd have to go with 'Last
Christmas' just because I prefer Peter Capaldi to Matt Smith.
Matthew: Has to be Last Christmas, I mean there both REALLY
unbearable but I feel like Last Christmas has a more rewarding end whereas The
Wedding of River Song was just a horrible mess
Favourite Classic story and why?
James:
My favourite classic story is 1970's 'Inferno'. What's not to love? It's the
Third Doctor at his best I think and it was a very brilliant concept for the
Doctor to enter a parallel universe. Also, Nick Courtney is superb as Brigade
Leader.
Matthew
: It's a tie
between Caves of Androzani and the War Games, two incredible stories, the War
Games was so revolutionary introducing the Time Lords but Caves had such a compelling
story (apart from Peri's anatomy) it really depends what mood I'm in right now
I'd say The War Games
Favourite Classic Doctor and Why?
James
: My favourite classic Doctor is Jon Pertwee's Third Doctor. Pertwee had
swagger before that word was even invented! He had Bessie, countless gadgets
and U.N.I.T! He was the first actor to make the Doctor truly cool!
Matthew
: Has to be the
2nd Doctor, I've grew to love them all but the second Doctor gave the character
a completely new side, and was much more fun yet sometimes rather dark, and
plus if it wasn't for the great job Troughton did Who wouldn't be here today so
we owe him a lot
Favourite New Series Episode and Why?
James:
If I'm allowed to cheat I'd say the recent Zygon two parter from Series 9 because
it was such a thrilling story.
Matthew:
Waters of Mars. It's
just perfection, the characters were great the setting was chlostrophobic, the
villain was so simple yet so scary and the Doctor MY GOD! The evil time lord
came out big time! It was Doctor Who and David Tennant at its very best!
Favourite New Series Doctor and Why?
James:
Peter Capaldi! Why? Have you seen those eyebrows?
Matthew
: Again 10! He
was my Doctor who I grew up with but he also has many layers to him, he can be
fun and lovable and very humane but also very harsh and angry and dangerous
too, I just love him
How did you become fans of Doctor Who?
James:
I've told this so many times on the channel so I'll tell the short version. I
saw a large billboard back in 2005 and it said 'Doctor Who: Coming Soon' with
Chris and Billie on it and it intrigued me just by the title and I've never
looked back! I owe a lot to that billboard!
Matthew
: I have to
credit my mother for this. She introduced me to Rose back in 2005 telling me
it's a show she used to watch and she wanted to know if I'd like it and I've
been addicted ever since
How did the both of you meet?
James:
I'd rather not think of the horrific day I met Matthew Rowney! 😛 Jk I'll let Matthew answer
that one.
Matthew:
A friend of ours introduced us to each other a long 13 years ago, how I've
coped I don't know, the worst 13 years of my life....
How did you both meet Ben?
James
: That's funny actually because I was just watching this vlog last night. We
first met Ben over a year ago when we were meeting Colin Baker at Sci Fi
Scarborough and since then, Ben has became a very good friend.
Matthew
: We met Ben as
a normal subscriber! I really liked his channel anyway but we bumped into him
at Sci-fi Scarborough back in 2014 and over the last 18 months we've met up
more and more, met each other’s families, went to conventions together and most
recently even London together, he's one of my best mates now, that's the power
of YouTube!
EWAP, will it happen again?
James
: Will EWAP happen again? It's happened twice now so I'm absolutely certain
that it will happen again
Matthew
: All I'm
saying is, Cardiff Summer 2016, watch this space...
What are your thoughts on Clara’s death?
James
: Have to watch our 'Face the Raven' review for that! Thought you'd get an
answer out of me there didn't you?
Matthew
: Go and check
out our Face the Raven review for more but in one word...SHOCKING
What made you start the channel?
James
: I had started a solo Doctor Who channel called The Who Addict, just a few
days after 'Name of the Doctor' had aired. I showed the channel to Matthew and
he had the genius idea of making it a channel we'd do together.
Matthew
: It was James
who created the channel called The Who Addict originally just for him until I gate
crashed it! Best gate crash I've ever made!
How did Hermits United begin?
James
: It was a Facebook group chat to begin with, so many people are part of it now
I've forgotten who the original hermits were. I think Tom was one?
Matthew
: I honestly
can't remember, it began with just me, James, Tom, Owen and Harry and the rest
I guess is history
Who would you like to take over Jenna Coleman?
James
: I want the show to break out of this constant formula they have. Always human
from 21st Century Earth! Think outside the box!!
Matthew
: Frobisher.
What are your thoughts on Capaldi?
James
: He's Scottish and loves punk rock music! That's perfection in my book.
Matthew
: Incredible
actor! Brilliant doctor! He was on course to being maybe my favourite but the
whole rocker gimmick may of ruined that for me, but as a rebel he's one of/ if
not my favourite, nevertheless less, BRILLIANT actor!
Have you read the Titan Comics yet?
James
: No, I haven't! Only just got into Big Finish but give me time.
Matthew
: Nope never
been into comics unfortunately
Who has been your favourite actor to meet?
James
: Probably recently with Michelle Gomez, such an insane human being! And I love
her!
Matthew
: Peter Capaldi
at the Doctor Who Festival! He's no different from on tv, he was so kind and so
lovely
Have you been star struck meeting any of the other Hermits?
James : Yes! All of them! All together I've
met all Hermits apart from Wesley and Owen. Seeing them on a YouTube screen and
then talking to them in person was just strange, in a good way.
Matthew
: Meeting Tom
was really strange for the first time but we've known each other for so long
now it's just like meeting up with a mate really
Do you think Cornel Wilson will make a cameo in The Kent
Chronicles?
James
: The Colonel has got a gun to my head right now! So I can't say anything! 😰 SEND HELP!
Matthew
: Not a clue,
that's for James and Jay to answer
What advice would you give somebody starting a channel?
James
: Sounds cliché but be yourself! Never try to be funny or pretend to be
something you're not. An audience can pick up on that.
Matthew
: Be yourself
and stick to your guns! Don't lie to be liked, be honest and just have fun with
it! Make videos to the best quality and make them as relevant as you can! Also
controversial videos get you lots of views and attention, believe me I know 😉
What would you like to say to your 7,579 subscribers?
James:
There are no words for how awesome our subs are, especially Liam Egan 😉 cheers for the questions pal!

where to start, just thank you from the bottom of my heart to anyone who has
taken even a second out of their day to watch and enjoy our content, you're the
reason we keep doing what we do and while you guys enjoy it we will keep doing
