Doctor Who

[Evil Steve]

In honour of my new signature an avatar (aint they pretty)

I decided to start a Doctor Who thread.

Loads of Whovian news recently, what with David Tennant finishing his last scenes as the Doctor *SOBS* and Matt Smith filming his first and starting filming the new season.

Speaking of Smith, press photos have released of him on set as the new Doctor

http://images.digitalspy.co.uk/09/30/550w_doctor_who_matt_and_karen.jpg

Sorry... I have to say that I dont like the look of the new Doctor... Bow-ties? Fuck off.
He looks like a bloody geography teachers!
Damn it i'm missing David Tennant already, he at least looked like a sexy history teacher.

Oh and apparently Karen Gillans companion name is Amy Pond.

Pond? ehhhhh

I despair.

BUT, what ISN'T making me despair are these two videos, one is the next extended trailer for WATER ON MARS, the other.... ohhhhh baby the other is fucking awesome, and i must add that it is SPOILERIFIC so, i warned you.

ClNAiVhcIMA

and this one, fan filmed at comic con 2009

I love the fanboy squeeees out of the audience.

Tom Baker is returning as the Fourth Doctor in a series of audio adventures known collectively as Doctor Who: Hornets' Nest. His co-stars include Rula Lenska, Stephen Thorne and Michael Maloney. Richard Franklin is also onboard, reprising his role of Mike Yates who viewers last saw in 1974's Planet of the Spiders, the first story to feature Tom Baker as the Doctor.
Tom travelled in the TARDIS for 7 years before handing over to Peter Davison in Logopolis and although he has made brief appearances in The Five Doctors, flashbacks and a charity special, these are the first 'full' dramas which feature the Fourth Doctor since 1981.
Paul Magrs, who wrote all five of The Hornets' Nest adventures, commented, 'It feels fantastic to write for him. I would say he's a brilliant mixture of everything the Fourth Doctor ever was. He's dark and sombre at times; other times he's gleefully macabre and mischievous.'
The individual stories which make up the quintet are entitled The Stuff of Nightmares, The Dead Shoes, The Circus of Doom, A Sting in the Tale and Hive of Horror and they will be available on CD and as download from September 2009.
We'll be bringing you more details and some clips soon, but in the meantime we have a gallery which includes shots taken at the cast recording.

I'm a big Who fan - love Torchwood too - I even liked the Doctor Who movie that most hated

I'm loving the re-runs on BBC3 each weekday at the moment - its such a damn good series...

have avoided all the trailers for the mars one - I want to see it on TV closer to it and (hopefully not) pee my pants with excitement!

[LimkMike]

question - on a recent episode based on sattelite/station 5 the doctor was being shown around - on one of the tv news monitors they mentioned that the face of Bo was pregnant - soooooo - another future character?

[Evil Steve]

hey mentioned that the face of Bo was pregnant - soooooo - another future character?


all 6 six children died within 60yrs

Doubt the face of Bo will ever make a return again, face only met the doctor 3 times.

[LimkMike]

Bo had 6 kids???? Didn't know that - u really know ur stuff mister :)

[Evil Steve]

Bo had 6 kids???? Didn't know that - u really know ur stuff mister :)


ohhhh gay geek nerdy fanboy extraordinary me

[Evil Steve]

i made a mistake... its apparently 40yrs

[Seanie]

I think Tennant is the closest we're getting to a sexy gay Doctor :P that photo makes the girl look kinda cute though, we'll give her a go :D

[Evil Steve]

I think Tennant is the closest we're getting to a sexy gay Doctor


Geek chic, its very sexy

ahhhh... then thats a slight disadvantage then... if you have BBC3 itll be repeated during that week

[ryato]

Yeah I have BBC3... hopefully my odd working hours won't get completely in the way.

I'll have to watch the TV listings like a hawk and make sure I'm not working whatever night it's on lol

[Evil Steve]

BBC3 usually show it about 4 times, they are repeat whores lol
plus you get the Doctor Who Confidential as well.

[abydos6]

Time????

[Stupid Cupid]

*works up the courage to admit truth*

Dare I say it... I have never seen an episode of Dr Who. Ever. Old or new. The most I know about it is what was mentioned in QAF.

*runs and hides from the backlash*

That is very true. I'm sure I'll get to it eventually.... about a week after it aired... when I've already read what happens in the episode in several forums :rolleyes:

@Stupid Cupid: I only got into new Doctor Who, so I've never seen any old Doctor Who. You should watch it, I think you'd like it :D

[Evil Steve]

That is very true. I'm sure I'll get to it eventually.... about a week after it aired... when I've already read what happens in the episode in several forums :rolleyes:


Best avoid my blog then lol

[ryato]

Totally will be doing that...

oh forgot to say.... Doctor Who Confidental.... Barney Hardwood... yes please :D

[Evil Steve]

Doctor Who Confidental.... Barney Hardwood... yes please :D

?? are you thinking of Totally Doctor Who (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totally_Doctor_Who) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totally_Doctor_Who)

[ryato]

Doh... yeah I was.

See my brains not awake yet, all I could think about was Barney Harwood lol

[Stupid Cupid]

THIS MUST BE CHANGED!!!

You should watch it, I think you'd like it :D

Everyone tells me that it is my type of thing, and I probably should watch it, but I am scared of getting addicted to another TV series. I watch too much as it is.

[ryato]

ah yeah, but it's only on every now and again. I mean they only make about one series a year (with a few specials thrown in) so it's not likely to completely take over your life like say... I dunno.... X-Factor :p

[Evil Steve]

its 13 episodes a year, a christmas special an maybe a children in need or comic relief 5 minute special.

This year the cut the 5th season in favour of 5 specials.

Yeah what he said...

see it wouldn't eat into your busy social life too much Stupid Cupid :D

[Stupid Cupid]

In that case, I'll watch it, have a few wanks, and get back to you once I clean up:p;):D

[Evil Steve]

Its all I could possibly ask... although, think now ill reconsider the offer to watch Dr Who at my house lol

I'll bring the extra tissue :D

[Evil Steve]

I'll bring the extra tissue :D

I may need it for the final tennant episode in december... tho not for same reason as you

[ryato]

Think I'll be needing the tissues for that episode too :(

I cried when Rose left (both times)... I'm such a sap!

[Evil Steve]

Think I'll be needing the tissues for that episode too :(

I cried when Rose left (both times)... I'm such a sap!


Oh i was worse with Donna, that was the saddest scene ever, more so than with Rose i think.

It was her plea not to go back, which wasn't a plea for her not to go back home, but not to go back to the way she was. Poor Donna had grown and changed so much.

[ryato]

Yeah Donna was way saddier than Rose.

Rose's was sad cos she was being split up from the Doctor, which was sad cos they both loved each other.

Donna's was sad cos the Doctor had finally found a 'mate' as he called it. Someone he could just travel with and there was no romantic entanglement. PLus as you say Donna had grown so much, she really loved being his companion and she knew her normal life paled in comparison :(

[abydos6]

what kind of an idiot am I? I thought it was on tonight, all geared up for it and all...sheesh lol :(

[Evil Steve]

Yeah Donna was way saddier than Rose.

Rose's was sad cos she was being split up from the Doctor, which was sad cos they both loved each other.

Donna also seemed to serve as a conscience of sorts for the doctor.

I miss her, and i HATED that character when she 1st came into it, i think thats also what made it sadder when she had to leave was because i REALLY did like Donna in the end

[Evil Steve]

Silly miss

Yeah I felt the same. I was willing to give Donna a chance but in my head I though 'she's no Rose'. But it was really awful the way the wrote her out of it (although Dr. Donna was infact genius!)

They are writing her back in for the Christmas special right?

[Evil Steve]

They are writing her back in for the Christmas special right?


Wilf is in it.... that i know as companion, dont think she meets the doctor tho

[ryato]

Yeah I knew he was going to be his companion. Suppose I just didn't think it through... perhaps when the doctor meets him Donna would just have been shown a scene earlier or something lol

[Evil Steve]

Maybe they can keep missing each other like Partners In Crime

[ryato]

That would actually be brilliant! I loved those scenes!

Although I did prefer the scene where they did finally spot each other.... on different sides of the room... and tried to have a full blown conversation lol

[Evil Steve]

I think that was the most comedic Dr Who scene ive ever watched, and it worked SO well.

[ryato]

Indeed. I particulary loved the bit when the camera finally turned your one 'Foster' and she was had that 'are ye done' look on her face!

Here's the scene as a little reminder

AiGibOme7j0

[abydos6]

best secene ever.

[Evil Steve]

Best scene from Dr Who last year.

It made me go SQUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE


E7Iy-bZA_TU

i can watch it all day long


Such a great "reveal".

Bad Wolf

[ryato]

oohhh.... got chills watching that scene again. Great stuff!


But er... remind me what Bad Wolf was an anagram for/stood for again.... I always seem to forget :confused:

[abydos6]

um, where?:confused:

[ryato]

Um... here ;)

E7Iy-bZA_TU

[Evil Steve]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Story_arcs_in_Doctor_Who#Bad_Wolf

[ryato]

Ah yes... right... I thought it had a slightly deeper meaning than that but ok. Guess 'Bad Wolf' will always be present in Dr. Who for another while yet

[Evil Steve]

I kinda hope it does, Its one of the biggest story Arcs its pretty much in every season, so lets hope Dr No. 11 has a bad wolf moment.

[ryato]

I'm sure he will. Just to tie him to his previous incarnation if anything.

[Evil Steve]

That im not sure about, the do seem to be "distancing" this doctor from the old.

Season "5" has been rebooted to season ONE.

New Doctor, New Tardis,New Tardis Console New Logo, New Season Numbering.....

Seems like a lot of change

[ryato]

Yes perhaps, but they can't really do a complete reboot where like he pretends he doesn't know Rose or Captain Jack or the likes. I'm sure they will link to previous series at some point. Maybe the last episode or two once the new doctor has been established :)

[abydos6]

oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I can't wait to see doctor Who, I don't care who is in the house, shushy time will be imposed and I will watch it. Though I think all should have left at that point.

Steve, you are still more than welcome to come to ours, I have chocolate and popcorn...hope you like it buttery.

g/a:D

[ryato]

Woop! I don't have to work tonight so I can catch the new episode tonight!

Excitement!

[Evil Steve]

Woop! I don't have to work tonight so I can catch the new episode tonight!

Excitement!



WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!


I cant fucking wait

[ryato]

Me either! I was so caught up in the whole 'not going to work thing' I nearly forgot about it being on tonight!

Delighted to be here to watch it now, rather than have to try and catch a repeat somewhere during the week

[ryato]

One word...

BRILLIANT!

[Evil Steve]

One word...

BRILLIANT!

Couldnt agree more

[ryato]

The Ood bit at the end was a bit um... odd :D

[abydos6]

A very dark Doctor...very dark, so easy for him to slip into the dark side (LUKE...I AM YOU'RE FATHER...oops wrong show lol), can't wait for the next one. Looks like he's going out with a bang.:D

[Evil Steve]

I watched it again this morning, better with a 2nd viewage.

SO dark, so brilliant... so cant wait till dec 25th

[ryato]

SO dark, so brilliant... so cant wait till dec 25th

Couldn't agree more.

Gald to see that Donna is coming back for the Christmas episode.... hopefully she won't get too involved with The Doctor and have her head explode (or whatever is supposed to happen)

[Stupid Cupid]

From spending so much time at a friends house the past month, I managed to see 2 or 3 random episodes from the first season, with Christopher Ecclestone as the Doctor

I LOVE IT!!!

I watched The End of Time, even though I've never seen David Tennant as the Doctor, and it was great. I laughed, I cried, I sat on edge, shouted for joy, cried again... One of the best programmes I have seen in a long time.

I've just downloaded all of season and I'm halfway through it. Can't wait to see all the rest of it.

[abydos6]

I loved end of time...dunno about the new doctor tho...keeping mind open...as always lol :D

[Evil Steve]

It was pretty emotional ending, I was close to bawling for the last 10 minutes, Think if i wasnt watching with Aby an Spiderchef i would have been way worse.

The "I dont want to go line" did push me over the edge tho :o

[abydos6]

it was defo a classic line, loved how it all got tied up at the end...any idea who the woman was on galfrey? loads of speculation abounding about it.

:D

[Evil Steve]

:D


Apparently it was the Doctors mother (other woman hiding her face was Masters mother) Julie Gardner said so via the online commentary the episode.

[abydos6]

wow, I think that's fantastic, never new that.

[Abhainn]

Well I'm still waiting to be proven right on the glove being the complimentary one to the one Susie used in Torchwood... :D In fairness it makes sense that would be the mother as when you look at their choice of a younger Doctor for the new series bringing in the mother makes it more open to see the Doctor at a more fallible level...

I know the Doctor Who premise is that he shouldn't need to be younger physically but considering new generation of viewers could explain their decision?

[abydos6]

It would be a decent theory. Maybe they are connected the gloves that is. One to bring life (albiet for a few moments), and the other to take it away...hummmmmm what do ya think evil?

[Abhainn]

Well my thinking was that TimeLords have the ability to "cheat death" and they seem to expend a lot of energy while doing it so perhaps they produce enough energy to control the gloves properly and humans (as yet) don't.

[Evil Steve]

eh, i just saw it as random timelord tech, just cause its a gauntlet doesnt mean its anything to do with the ones from torchwood

[abydos6]

*pouts* but it was a nice theory...:D

[Evil Steve]

*pouts* but it was a nice theory...:D


Just cause its a nice theory doesnt mean it fits.

[Abhainn]

Just cause its a nice theory doesnt mean it fits.

True and even if it was the initial story lined up by Davies the new writers may drop it completely and never explain it.

[Evil Steve]

Exactly, just think it was a timelord "weapon" as such. served as a handy catch all device, i mean look at a sonic screw driver, it can do ANYTHING an EVERYTHING.

Time lord tech is all

[abydos6]

*still pouting* :p

[Stupid Cupid]

Just started watching the 2nd season, with Tennant as the doctor. You are right Evil Steve, he is cute. :D

I was planning on watching Torchwood too, and someone said to alternate the episodes, should I be watching it now, or during Doctor Who season 3?

[Evil Steve]

No real need, they are 2 very seperate tv shows.

Same whoniverse but have no link except for Captain Jack shows up in Doctor Who once or twice.


And yes, David was a very cute Dr

[LimkMike]

reminder

i thought the new episode is on sunday but its on saturday at 6.20 pm :)

digi box thingy set :)

[Evil Steve]

I am fuckin fit to explode!!!

[LimkMike]

one hour to go to new episode....

[Evil Steve]

Loved it, thought it rocked, next 13 weeks are gonna be fun.

HOWEVER, i really dislike the new opening sequence and intro music.. its fuckin terrible

[ryato]

Agreed. Bring back the intro music from the previous series please.

I think there is going to be some really interesting storylines in this series.

[Shiva]

Loved it, loved everything about it. I now no longer have any fears about the new doctor. All hail BBC (except for your Eurovision choice in which case you suck!)

[Evil Steve]

Agreed. Bring back the intro music from the previous series please.

I think there is going to be some really interesting storylines in this series.

I dont know anyone who likes the new theme or intro.

Count down to the next episode is 4 hours woooooooooooooohhhhhhoooooooooooo

[abydos6]

Okay, not as exciting as the first ep, but nice none the less, freaked out by those maniquin yolks tho...thoughts anyone?

[Stupid Cupid]

Wow, this thread is quiet... I expected a lot more comments given all the discussion in the past.

**If you haven't seen the latest episode - Victory of the Daleks - spoilers ahead**

I really want to know why Amy remembers nothing about the Daleks. Has her (and all of the planet's) memory been wiped? Or if the crack is between time and space, did the Doctor hit a parallel earth while crashing (since there is a crack in the TARDIS), one that never had the event of Doomsday and The Stolen Earth?

I thought the latest episode was funny. I feel like Mrs Doyle and The Power Rangers all got converted into Daleks. Winston Churchill had the best facial expression ever!!

I am really liking Amy so far. I can see a little bit of the previous companions in here. Donna's wit and tongue, Martha's intelligence, and Rose's compassion. When you think about it, she has actually been the one who saved the world the last two episodes, not the Doctor.

Can't wait for next week's episode. Weeping Angels!! River Song!!! I must go and watch Silence in the Library again in preparation for it.

[Evil Steve]

In relation to Amy not remembering, maybe this is a plot point:
http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac305/stevemurray/RoryID.jpg

Unless Rory started working for the NHS as a foetus or a toddler this cant be right.

Probably just a prop error. (How the hell did you spot that?!?)

I was going to assume that The Doctor was actually in the past, pre Dalek attack, but they wouldn;t have had camera phones then.

[Evil Steve]

How the hell did you spot that?!

ummmm sad sci fi nerd?

Apparently in same episode, all the cars seen are from the 90s and the registrations are 90's based (I cant tell english reg, so ive no idea if its true)

Plus the TV an radio scene are "old" as well, yet the phones and computer are newish. The laptop make does say MYTH however. I notice that straight way.

Crack in time and space, maybe things are all out of place. Could also be the reason why the doctor is always late

weeping angels

up next....

[Evil Steve]

I spotted they had one head straight away...

*puts on smug face*

[abydos6]

Thourghly enjoyed the weeping angels ep. They're some sacry statues.

Part two on next sat.

can't wait.

[Stupid Cupid]

I just rewatched the episode again and realised something.

The angels are meant to remain as stone while seen by anything - even another angel. Yet there were angels who were clearly in the line of sight of other angels that moved during this episode.

Stronger angels? Or continuity error?

surely they only moved in the dark???? when the lights were on then they couldn't move because, like u said, they saw each other and were seen by the current survivors?

dunno - i is confused now ;)

[Stupid Cupid]

Ok, this episode they definitely moved and could see each other!!:confused:

[LimkMike]

Base code of the universe and the day it all ends... oh and series finale of Doctor Who

Silence WILL fall.... at 6.05pm cause if anyone speaks for the next 55 minutes after that they are getting slaps


WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

DOCTOR WHO!!!!

[ryato]

Can't wait to see it. Last weeks episode was so exciting! I don't have BBC here in the house so I'll be watching it online after.... so NO spoilers like!

was
fuckin
epic

[ryato]

That was a great season finale! Nice to see a more upbeat one (though I did miss the tears that I normally shed at a season finale)...looking forward to the Christmas Special!

[Stupid Cupid]

I really enjoyed it. It was nice to have a happy ending for once, and I am really delighted that Rory is still a companion. I like having the two companions travelling with the Doctor, especially now that they are Mr. and Mrs. Pond

[ryato]

Yeah, I"m looking forward to having two companions again. Having a married couple will be fun too... I'm sure it will bring up issues in itself lol

[Evil Steve]

That was a great season finale! Nice to see a more upbeat one (though I did miss the tears that I normally shed at a season finale)...looking forward to the Christmas Special!

There was plenty of places for tears to be shed... just not scenes for bawling like Donna mind wipe or Rose's goodbye in previous series finales

[ryato]

Yeah, I'm not saying there weren't sad moments in it but they didn't last long enough for me to well up like they did in pervious series finales or even in The Pandorica. Which is good in itself too, it was nice to have a happy ending :)

I think the happy ending was a good idea. Too many people get used to the big cliffhanger/dramatic ending and then constantly expect it. It is nice to see things going well for a change.

I have to ask though, any thoughts on who the voice in the Tardis was? Davros??

[Evil Steve]

Omega...

[ryato]

Wonder when the Christmas Special teaser will be released?

[Evil Steve]

probably be sept-oct... apparently filming starts nexts week for it

[Stupid Cupid]

Omega...

Is that an educated guess or a leaked spoiler?

Oh, there is a crack right above the computer in my office. It scares me so much these days...

[Evil Steve]

Is that an educated guess or a leaked spoiler?



its possibly both. lots of rumours that its omega, the useage of omega symbols in Time of Angels and Blood & Stone seems to hint at this.

[abydos6]

I can't bloody wait...unreal I have to go till december without more WHO...so not fair.

You have that tradition too? My friends and I used to call to Ros_boi's house and about ten of us would sit down to it each week.


i (like stupid cupid) have to admit that even though i am a sci fi geek i only saw the final episode of dr who last series! Thought it was ok...love catherine tate so that helped.....

I've since caught up on all of it since 2005!

Tradition that started with the Easter special last year and was solidified by watching Torchwood Children of Earth

Must get my hands on some OLD Doctor who, maybe we can restart the tradition with some Tom Baker or Slyvester McCoy

Or.... dare we go with some Paul McGann?

I haven't seen any of the Doctor Who episodes pre 2005. Are they good?

It feels so weird not having plans for 6 O Clock on a Saturday now.
