Doctor Who

[ZariusTwo]

Doctor Who returns after a long absense to the ULK on March 26th, the U.S Sci-Fi Channel will pick up the series for the American audiences.

The first episode "Rose", deals with the ninth Doctor (Chrstopher Eccleston) encountering his new companion, Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) and an invasion by the Autons (aliens that can inhabit any form of plastic, controlled by the Nestine Consciousness)

Future episodes will also see the long awaited return of the Daleks in at least three episodes ("The Creature Inside", and the season finale "The Parting of the Ways Parts One and Two")


EDIT: Someone move this, it's in the wrong forum

[ZariusTwo]

...Something tells me if I had used the words "Tom Baker" in here, everybody would have flocked to this thread already

I might watch this just to see Billie Piper. I'm no Who fan, I've never seen any of it, but I sure do love Billie Piper! Does anybody here remember any of her songs?

This is probably scarlige... but what's Doctor Who? What's it about?

[ZariusTwo]

This is probably scarlige... but what's Doctor Who? What's it about?

The series is the longest running science fiction series of all time, it began in 1963, and was cancelled in 1989, (with a breif revival in the form of a T.V Movie in 1996 starring Paul Mcgann)

The series centers on the adventures of a time lord from the Planet Gallifrey known only as "The Doctor", who travels time and space in his TARDIS, which resembles an old london police box (but it's much bigger on the inside than the outside) with various companions, he seeks to bring justice to whatever evil he stumbles across.

The Dcotor has changed many times, a great aspect about the series is that if an actor is leaving, all they do is "regenerate him", to continue the character's adventures, there have now been nine doctors, with the ninth version being the star of the new series, so unlike most revivals, THIS is in CONTINUNITY.

The Doctor's enemies have ranged from the Daleks, the Cybermen, the Sontarans, and the evil renegade Time Lord The Master

The Robots from Doctor Who.Were created by some mad sciencist.I forgot his name though.


His name was Davros, who firest appeared in "Geneesis of the Daleks", some Doctor Who fans say he pretty much reduced The Daleks to second stringers, as he appeared in EVERY Dalek story afterwards as the primary enemy to defeat, fortunatly, he's not in this new series, having been killed in the novel "War of the Daleks"

[ZariusTwo]

Trailer for CBC North America premiere

http://www.gmaskew.com/art/cbcteaser_high.avi

[ZariusTwo]

Apparently, the U.S Sci-Fi Channel has refused to pick up the new series because it's "too british"

Also...THE FIRST EPISODE HAS BEEN LEAKED ON THE 'NET

I've watched it, and as a long time Doctor Who fan, it is EXACTLY the same as it was when it was axed, low budget, cheap effects...everything, which is great, I'm truly proud that Russel T. Davis decided to stick it to those spoiled by tougher revamps like Battlestar Galactica and kept the show to it's roots.

Sure, I don't want to give you the leaked premiere episode though...it's only a rough copy of it, and it'd be better if people got to see the finished product, but from what I've seen....it's the same classic series it's always been.

[ZariusTwo]

Doxtor Who is back, tonight saw the premiere of the first new season in many years, the full version of "Rose" was far better to hte leaked version, and was extremly faifthul to the series.

Here's a preview of future episodes

Just seen the episode and I've got to say how bloody fantastic it was. True Doctor Who style! Christopher Eccleston has done a wonderful job with his portrayal of The Doctor, I was so impressed by the whole thing. Absolutely brilliant!

[ZariusTwo]

You've got to love the scene where The Doctor had no clue where the Nestine Transmitter was even after Rose pointed it to him a billion times. :lol:
The Auton invasion was breif, but pretty excellent, a pity the Doctor's Internet fan had to be killed.

So apparently The Doctor has been involved in a war for some time now that eliminated the Nestene homeworld.

[Gemma]

You've got to love the scene where The Doctor had no clue where the Nestine Transmitter was even after Rose pointed it to him a billion times. :lol:
Oh definitely! That was a classic scene! So funny!

At the end when Rose says that she's staying and he goes back into the TARDIS then disappears, she walks away and he comes back just to tell her that it travels through time as well, that was The Doctor true to form!

The Auton invasion was breif, but pretty excellent, a pity the Doctor's Internet fan had to be killed.
I've heard a few people say that they were dissapointed in the revival of the Autons, they felt that it was all old hat and that they should have done something new. I personally thought it was great! A wonderful start to hopefully a long run.

It was a little sad that his fan died, I think he said something about being right just before he was shot. Poor guy, they could've kept him around for later episodes, that would've been a good idea.

So apparently The Doctor has been involved in a war for some time now that eliminated the Nestene homeworld.
That doesn't suprise me, it is The Doctor after all, he gets about a bit. :P

[Raph's Girl]

First off...altho I have never seen an ep of Dr. Who I think that the people at the scifi channel are complete morons for passing this up... too british my arse!

Now Im eagerly waiting the CBC premier of Dr. Who. Im just glad I live in one of the boarder states with Canada and have CBC (the only Canadian channel I have).

Perhaps tho Spike TV will pick it up??? They'll have a couple hours open in the Monday timeslot once WWE moves back to the USA network. :P

[ZariusTwo]

10.3 million viewers in the U.K watched the first episode of the new series, prioving that the show probably could of been in a major success in the States had the Yanks grabbed it

[Raph's Girl]

From http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/4395849.stm

Actor Christopher Eccleston has quit as Doctor Who after just one episode of the new series, the BBC has confirmed.

Eccleston, whose first appearance as the Doctor on Saturday
attracted around 10 million viewers, is leaving at Christmas as he fears being typecast.

"Talks are taking place to replace him with Casanova star David Tennant.

"The BBC has commissioned a second, 13-part Doctor Who series, which will again be written by Russell T Davies and feature Billie Piper as Rose."

Outpost Gallifrey http://www.gallifreyone.com is also covering the news in detail.

Dierna note: What the shell?! :o Eccleston you moron! :x

[ZariusTwo]

You....f*cking Stupid Motherf*cker!

You Will Not Slay The Greatest F*cking Show Ever With This Bulls*it, You Think Tom Baker Gave A Rat's Ass About Being Type-cast? He Stayed Loyal For Seven F*cking Years!

Tenth Doctor? You Know What That F*cking Means? He's Only Got Two Lives Left!

[GK Punk]

Wow. That's really lame. Me and my friends are hardcore looking forward to this series.

[ZariusTwo]

At least there WILL be a second season...and in hindsight, Eccelstons' departure will introduce new audiences to the concept of Regeneration

[Anarky]

I have but one word to say: Damn!

On second thought, I have a little more to say: Damn you, Eccleston!

[raphael_is_cool]

Tenth Doctor? You Know What That F*cking Means? He's Only Got Two Lives Left!

You'd think with a show where it has something like that there'd be some clause in the contract to avoid actors coming and going.

Guy was a twat anyway, and had an annoying voice.

[ZariusTwo]

I just watched the second episode, good god, the Yanks ARE idiots, this story was amazing, The Doctor and Rose arrive on Platform One to witness the destruction of the Earth the year 5000000000000000 A.D, only to find someoen is attempting to wipe out the alien spectators to gain a profit.

Cassandra, the "last human" was probably the greatest part of the episode, she's nothing but a peice of skin after billions of plastic surgeries, Rose even calls her "Micheal Jackson" :lol:

The Doctor also reveals he's the last of the Time Lords, his planet has been destroyed.

[Brodie]

This is classic. Hysterical, really.

[Gemma]

Eccleston, whose first appearance as the Doctor on Saturday
attracted around 10 million viewers, is leaving at Christmas as he fears being typecast.

Afraid of getting typecast? Eccleston? I think the damage has already been done mate. You were branded long before the show hit the air. :roll:

[ZariusTwo]

Update: The finale of the current season (entitled The Parting of the Ways) involves a massive Dalek invasion, the ending has been re-shot to set up the regeneration, with the chirstmas special being based around the regeneration from Roses' perspective.

[ZariusTwo]

Update: David Tennant Has Been Cast As The Doctor

[Raph's Girl]

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=597&e=1&u=/nm/20050416/tv_nm/leisure_doctorwho_dc

David Tennant, the star of period drama Casanova, has been named by the BBC as the new "Doctor Who" to front the cult science-fiction television series.

The BBC said Tennant, 33, would replace Christopher Eccleston who announced he was quitting after one series as the Doctor.

Tennant, who will star alongside Billie Piper, will be the 10th Time Lord.

"I grew up loving Doctor Who and it has been a lifelong dream to get my very own Tardis," he said.

"Taking over from Chris is a very daunting prospect -- he has done a fantastic job of reinventing the Doctor for a new generation and is a very tough act to follow."

Eccleston, whose first appearance as the ninth Doctor attracted 10 million viewers, said he was leaving the role because he feared being typecast.

Tennant has previously appeared in Stephen Fry's movie "Bright Young Things" and BBC drama "Blackpool."

Filming for a new 13-part adventure and Christmas special will start later in 2005.

[Barkworm]

One "Dr. Who" thread is enough. ;)

Anarky: Yes, it is, that's why I've created the ultimate Doctor Who-Thread :D.

[ZariusTwo]

Great episode this week, the show's first multi-part story since "Survival", even if it's only two parts, it does'nt matter, the cliffhanger was classic Doctor Who.

Poor Rose, instead of returning to her present time twelve hours after she left, she returned tweleve months later.

The Doctor: I was traveling with my companion

Police Officer: Companion? Do you mean that in terms of sexual relations?

[ZariusTwo]

Holy s*it...

http://doctorwho.ytmnd.com/


Well, the signs and hints of Bad Wolf in the entire series havebuilt up towards this, this was the greatest clii-hanger of the revived series so far, The Daleks were behind Sattilite Five, The Doctor discovered his diposing of The Editor at the conclusion of "The Long Game" enabled The Daleks (miraculousy survving the Time War that wiped out the Time Lords) to seize control of the Earths' telivision outlets, use a transamt to pluck humans off the planet, and force them to play games to maintain thier lives.

Next week: The Daleks invade Earth, The Doctor attempts to redeem himself at any cost, and faces another consequence of his recent actions...the reason why The Dalek empire still survives.

From Outpost Galifrey:

'At tonight's BAFTA screening of "The Parting of the Ways," the final episode of this first series of "Doctor Who," producer Russell T Davies and BBC executive Jane Tranter announced that a third series of the show has now been commissioned, including a second Christmas special. They also noted that Billie Piper (Rose) would be in all the episodes of the second series, although whether she would return for the third was apparently still being discussed, and that John Barrowman (Captain Jack) will be returning to the series next
year but will not appear in the first block of episodes. (Says our correspondent, Barrowman was also in the audience at the screening, and when Davies announced his return, he yelled out, "And I'm willing to get naked again, too!")

Also mentioned at the BAFTA screening was a title for this year's Christmas special: The Christmas Invasion. That, and the season two block of thirteen episodes, will go into production in July. More details as we get them.'

Raph's Girl note: Woohoo!! More nude Jack!! :evilgrin:

[ZariusTwo]

That finale blew away Galactica's finale and confirmed to me that Doctor Who is above every series even I presently watch


Bad Wolf turned out to be The TARDIS/Rose hybrid, the TARDIS sent messages across time and space to warn itself of The Doctors' intentions to send it to Earth from Rose, Rose bonded with the TARDIS and used her new powers to deatomise The entire Dalek fleet

The main villain behind the revived Daleks was The Dalek Emperor, who had fallen through a time hole during the time war, he recreated his army using the humans eliminated from the shows hosted on Sattile Five.

There was a kiss between The Doctor and Rose, but thankfully it was only because The Doctor had to suck the time/space vortex out of her and restore it to the TARDIS, the results killed every cell in his body and he was forced to regenerate.

[Anarky]

The Doctor seems to be quite popular these days, so I thought a thread for all the fans of the Doctor and Billie Piper (oh, yesss... :D ) wouldn't be a bad idea.

You find all threads of the last 100 days merged together here, so that you can easily find any important information on the show's recent development.

Enjoy! :D

According to a rumour at Outpost Galifrey K9 and Sarah Jane, compaions of the 3rd and 4th doctors, will be returning for the next series!

From Outpost Gallifrey:

Will K9 make a comeback next year? The Newsquest Media Group syndicated column says so, furthering rumors in June that he would be joining Elisabeth Sladen (Sarah Jane) for an appearance next year. "Dr. Who's famous canine companion looks set to make a comeback - to the delight of its Bridport creators. Mechanical mutt K9 was the invention of local novelist David Martin and his script writing partner Bob Baker. The pair penned around 30 episodes of the hit TV sci-fi show in the 70s and 80s - many featuring their "pentium-powered" pooch. Now BBC chiefs are understood to be planning a return for the Timelord's faithful four-wheeled friend in the next series. This week Mr Baker confirmed that he was meeting with the show's producers to discuss K9's future role. 'It is not confirmed yet but I am sure he will be in the new series although we have to discuss how to use him,' he said. 'We love the idea of him coming back - he really was a cult figure - but we need to get things right. Last time it ended with people carrying him around the set which was not right and suspended belief a bit too much.' ... A spokeswoman for the BBC said they were working on the new Dr Who series but refused to confirm whether K9 would be involved. 'There is no comment at this point.'"

Raph's Girl note: Yay for robotic dogs! Now if only Frobisher would show up! :evilgrin:

[ZariusTwo]

Wooo, K-9, more than likly the mark III version, with Sarah Jane making a cameo to reintroduce him into the series.

Already confirmed are The Cybermen, who will appear in the two part story, "The Satan Pit"

[Raph's Girl]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/4714061.stm

Ex-Doctor Who companion Sarah Jane Smith will return in the new series of the sci-fi show, it was revealed as the Doctor's new costume was unveiled.

However Rose, played by Billie Piper, will remain the Doctor's full-time companion throughout the new series.

The Doctor's "striking" new outfit consists of a striped suit, trenchcoat and trainers.

'Timeless and modern'

Tennant said: "I think we've come up with something distinctive that's both timeless and modern, with a bit of geek chic and of course, a dash of Time Lord!

"Most importantly Billie tells me she likes it - after all she's the one who has to see me in it for the next nine months."

Casanova star Tennant replaced Christopher Eccleston in the lead role, appearing briefly at the end of the last BBC series in June.

Piper said she was "thrilled" to be playing companion Rose again.

"We plan to make series two even bigger and better and challenge the viewers' imaginations like never before," she said. "Wait until you get a load of the new doctor!"

The character Sarah Jane previously appeared in the series from 1973 to 1976, alongside Doctors played by Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker.

A journalist with outspoken feminist views, she was given robot dog K-9 as a goodbye present from the Doctor and appeared in spin-off pilot show K-9 and Company.

The new 13-part series will also feature Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Anthony Head and an episode will be written by comic Stephen Fry.

We can promise new thrills, new laughs, new heartbreak and some terrifying new aliens

Penelope Wilton will return to play Harriet Jones in a Doctor Who Christmas special, as the alien Sycorax threatens the earth in an episode currently being filmed in Cardiff and London.

The Cybermen will return in the new series, and the Doctor and Rose will meet Queen Victoria and an evil race of Cat Women.

Coyote Ugly star Adam Garcia will make an appearance and further episodes will be written by Russell T Davies, Mark Gattis and Tom Macrae among others.

Davies, who remains the show's executive producer, said: "We were delighted and honoured by the first series' success, and we can promise new thrills, new laughs, new heartbreak and some terrifying new aliens."

Here's an image of the doctor in his new outfit:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/nol/shared/spl/hi/pop_ups/05/entertainment_enl_1122308685/img/1.jpg

Kewl tho! Queen Victoria and evil cat people! :P

[ZariusTwo]

Sarah Janes' going to be a welcome adiditon, I wonder if that means we may see an apperance from Nicholas Courtney (The Brigideer) sooner or later

Anthony Stewart Heads' no stranger to Doctor Who, he had a role in the Big Finish audio "Excelis" trilogy

[Leo-a-go-go]

No way!!! I LOVE Sarah Jane!! I wonder if she still has the funny voice? I still remember the episode she was hanging on the scaffolding going "Dr I can't hold on any longer..." then fell and it did a freeze frame and the theme song came in, I remember the 24 hour wait to see what happened was agonising!! I think I was about 8 when it was on tv.

[ZariusTwo]

The Saturday morning edition of The Mirror is reporting that Billie Piper has informed producers that she will be leaving Doctor Who and has no intention of returning for a third series. The article, penned by Kiki King and Nicola Methven -- the latter having been the journalist responsible for the Mirror's breaking news report in late March that Christopher Eccleston was leaving the series -- says that Piper "told producers she did not want to become typecast as they begged her to stay for a third run of the hit show. A source said last night: 'Her mind's made up. ... She wants to strike while the iron's hot and make a big name for herself while she's so popular. She feels her profile will go down if the series isn't as big the third time around. The BBC are auditioning other girls to take over. They want to have the next actress all lined up when they announce Billie's departure.'"

The Mirror notes that Piper had nearly left the series during its second year but was persuaded to stay and film the year with the new Doctor, David Tennant, and states that the production team has been "conducting secret auditions with a small number of actresses and keeping it very, very quiet. They are after a relative newcomer so this is the role which puts her in the public eye. It also means she's less likely to get bored after one series."

Without specifically stating it, the article intimates that Piper will stay aboard the series for the season, departing sometime before its conclusion. At press time there is currently no official confirmation from the Doctor Who production team or any other BBC sources, but we're likely to hear a lot about this in the coming hours and days. Stay tuned...

I can understand this completly, as Rose, her character has been explored as far as it can be possible and her story had been intergral to the span of the Ninth Doctors' arc, since hes' regenerated saving her life, and that she reminded him of what he does and who he cares for more than his now long existinct race, theres' no development for her. Bring on a new companion.

Rumours still persist that the finale will be the first time ever that the Daleks and the Cybermen will clash one on one.

[Raph's Girl]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/4426416.stm

The first pictures of the redesigned Cybermen have been released ahead of the sci-fi villains' return in the new series of Doctor Who.

They will do battle with new Doctor David Tennant next year.

Producer Phil Collinson said Cybermen were "as much a part of Doctor Who heritage as the Daleks, so it's a huge personal thrill to see them back".

The new series will also include appearances by ex-Doctor Who companions K9 and Sarah-Jane Smith.

Originally created in 1966, the Cybermen are metal beings from the planet Mondas.

They are devoid of emotion, and they are out to convert humanity into their own kind.

The new series of Doctor Who will follow a special episode to be broadcast on BBC One on Christmas Day.

Doctor Who was revived in March after a 16-year absence and proved to be a ratings success. A third series has already been confirmed.

Here's the pic of a Cyberman:

Raph's Girl note: And can I just say that the description of the Cybermen sounds like the Borg?? Cuz well it does...so the Cybermen are borg or the Borg are Cybermen...:P

The Borg are just cheap a Knockoff of the Cybermen! :P

But it seems that the Daily Star has an 'exclusive' and reports that Billie ain't quitting the show and would'nt let Davies or the show down like that. It also said that a friend of hers mentioned that she already signed a contract for series 3!

That was a solid five minutre intro for Tennant, the cloister bell ringing was perfect, and yes, we officially have a faulty regeneration, The Doctor soon swithes from calm and assuring to manaical as he propels the TARDIS towards Earth

[Raph's Girl]

The trailor for the Dr. Who Christmas Invasion eppy is available to see online! This looks like a good one!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/

[ZariusTwo]

It looks great, the "Pudsy Cutaway" Children In Need Special demonstrated how manaiacl Tennant is as The Doctor, the only problem is, following this, the second season does not begin until March

[Raph's Girl]

For those that wanna know the schedule for Dr. Who Christmas Invasion in your area well...

UK: Christmas Night (Dec 25th) at 7pm on BBC1 and Jan 1st at 7pm on BBC3
Canada: Boxing Day (Dec 26th) at 8pm on CBC

Norway: Christmas Night on NRK2 (dunno the time but probably 8pm)

Figures a Christmas special would air the day AFTER christmas in North America. Meh..at least I get to see it without having to worry about having to set the VCR to record it since I'll probably be having dinner at my step-grandma's place Christmas night.

Anyways no word on when the Christmas Invasion will air in Sweden, France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands or the other countries that air it since many of those countries are a bit behind the UK and Canada. I know Norway has caught up.

Meanwhile you can see the trailor at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho

[ZariusTwo]

The Chrismtas Invasion was superb for a post-regeneration episode, Tennant added more attributes to his portrayal of the Doctor, the Sycorax ship swarming over London, The Doctor realising that a moving speech he was quoting came from The Lion King:lol:

Even better was the plot twist at the conclusion, with Harriets' character taking a sinister turn in dealing with the Sycorax after they promised to leave the Earth, stabbing them in the back and ordering themysterious group known as "Torchwood" to fire at them rather than let them tell others of Earths' location and history of defense. The Doctor was utterly peeved and it truly set the bar for what could happen later in the next season, The Doctor against Torchwood.

...And threatning to bring down Harriets' reign in office as Prime Minsiter with six words or less was a hilarious touch, ("Dont' you think she looks tired?")

Now, I would like to stress that the preview for the "next episode" featuring Cybermen, K-9, Sarah Jane, the Face of Bo, and the cat people are'nt all from the same episode, there a preview of season twos' upcoming episodes put together as a clip montage, some people are assuming "New Earth", the next new episode beggining in March, has all of that.


Good news for the yanks, the box set of the first season is released in both Canada and the States in Febuary if negoitations suceed on the U.S side of

[Raph's Girl]

Finally saw Christmas Invasion (It aired last night on CBC but I was too tired so I set the VCR to record it).

When the doctor started sayiing the lyrics from Circle of Life I was really laughing and thinking "WTF?! Why's he quoting Lion King?!"...then he said "Oh wait...that's the Lion King!" :lol:

"Their ship was orbiting Mars so that means they probably aren't Martians!"
"Of course not! Martians look completly different!"



IMO the Sycorax looked like something out of Power Rangers.

BTW a bit of trivia:
Sycorax (moon), a moon of Uranus.

Sycorax, a fictional character mentioned though not seen in William Shakespeare's play The Tempest. Prospero refers to her as a foul witch from Argier who was banished to the island on the accusation of practicing sorcery. Sailors left her on the isle pregnant with her son, Caliban, and while she was there she enslaved spirits to do her bidding. Chief among them was Ariel, whom she eventually imprisoned in a pine tree for disobedience. Sycorax, who "with age and envy / Was grown into a hoop", taught Caliban to worship the god Setebos but died before the arrival of Prospero and his daughter, Miranda.

So now ya know where the name originated from...Shakespear. :P

Some of my fave quotes tho:
"What about the royal family? Oh..on the roof.." :lol:

Harriet: "Harriet Jones, Prime Minister"
Everybody including the alien: "I know!"

As for Torchwood..I wish we'd seen em cuz I needed an excuse to get my drool bucket out...mm.. Capt. Jack.

I can't wait till the Torchwood series starts!!! :evilgrin:

[Raph's Girl]

News Flash! Sci-fi channel baught the rights to air Dr. Who starting in March! It will air at the 9pm timeslot replacing SG1 when SG1 goes on hiatus.

http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/681/681089p1.html

Doctor Who is headed to the States courtesy of the SCI FI Channel. The cable network and BBC Worldwide Americas announced today that they've signed a major licensing deal for the first series of new Doctor Who adventures.

SCI FI will air all 13 episodes of the hour-long series beginning in March. Who is slotted for Friday nights at 9:00.

The deal explains the recent retraction of a DVD announcement that had puzzled fans. The series was set to hit DVD in the US and Canada in February, but has now been reset for July 4th. It came out on DVD in the UK shortly before Christmas.

The new Who, which stars Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor, began airing last March in the UK. It was originally passed up by SCI FI.

SCI FI's agreement includes an option on the next season which will star David Tennant as the Doctor.

Raph's Girl note: Well now..I guess SOMEBODY changed their minds about Dr. Who not being their cup of tea. :roll: Either way I now have 2 channels with Dr. Who on it. :evilgrin: And more American's can be scared by "Are you my mummy??"

The show that is flat out superior to everything present, better than Lost, better than Galactica, without breathing, comes to the USA

[Drtooth]

You know, PBS used to run all these old British shows. Sometimes even the occasional Monty Python. Now the only British programs they run are dramatic comedies, and the unfunny Keeping up Apperances. Sighhhh... I miss Mr. Bean.

Just wondering.... is Who on disk? Like a season set or a compilation or something?

The classic serials (the ones that still exist) are being released on DVD, the new series (which is still in continuity with the original, but starts with a "first season" again), is available on DVD also.

[iris]

Yay!

Passing up Dr. Who was an incredibly unwise move for SciFi, but they have their multiple original series going and they want to promote them.

Biased much? :) I like LOST; it's very, very good. But it seems Dr. Who will never die.

[Jade Green]

I grew up with Dr. Who I think my parents will be estatic about this.

Yup.

[ZariusTwo]

Speak the truth much? Yes, I do.

I did'nt thrash Lost, I love Galactica, but Doctor Who IS better than both of 'em, not just from what I've seen of the new series, but the first twenty six seasons

[Raph's Girl]

The official Dr. Who site now has a rather amusing image of Dr. Who in America.

The ones that still exist? Were some of the older seasons lost in a fire or something?

[ZariusTwo]

The ones that still exist? Were some of the older seasons lost in a fire or something?

Back a few decades ago, the BBC really had no care whatsoever for what future vale their older programming would have later in life on digital or DVD, and to make up space, would actually WIPE, and DESTORY the material they thought could not be sold or distributed any other way. Many famous Doctor Who moments were lost forever, including the final episode of the "Tenth Planet", featuring The First Doctors' fracken regeneration (fortunatly, the regeneration sequence is one of the few things that was succesfully salvaged from the episode, so all is good there), and the entirty of Patrick Trougtons' first season as The Doctor, including the last black and white Dalek serial "The Evil of the Daleks", featuring the first appearance of the Dalek Emperor, and a large scale Dalek cival war.

To this date, rough film edits that last either under a minute or mere seconds are worth millions if located of these missing episodes, the audio for the serials still exist also, so any serial missing is released as a CD-Drama, but it does'nt really atone for the stupidity of what some companies did at one time.

[Raph's Girl]

The ones that still exist? Were some of the older seasons lost in a fire or something?

They were erased.

From Wikipedia:

Sometime between about 1967 and 1978 large amounts of older material stored in the BBC's video tape and film libraries were destroyed or wiped. This included many old episodes of Doctor Who, and mostly affects the first two Doctors — William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton. Archival holdings are complete from the programme's move to colour television (starting from Jon Pertwee's time as the Doctor), although a few Pertwee episodes have required substantial restoration work and a handful have only been recovered in black and white. In all, 108 of 253 episodes produced during the first six years of the programme are not currently held in the BBC's archives.

Some episodes have been returned to the BBC from the archives of other countries who bought copies for broadcast, or by private individuals who came into possession of copies by various means. Early colour videotape recordings made off-air by fans have also been retrieved, as well as small excerpts recovered on 8mm cine film from clips shown on other programmes. Audio versions of all of the lost episodes exist from home viewers making tape recordings of the show.

In addition to these, there also exist photographs made by photographer John Cura, who was hired by the BBC to document the filming of many of their most popular programmes during the 1950s and 1960s, including Doctor Who. These have been used in fan reconstructions of the serials. These amateur reconstructions have been tolerated by the BBC, provided they are not sold for profit and distributed as low quality VHS copies.

The most sought-after lost episode is Part Four of the last William Hartnell serial, The Tenth Planet, which ends with the First Doctor transforming into the Second. The only portion of this still in existence, bar a few poor quality silent 8mm clips, is the few seconds of the regeneration scene. With the approval of the BBC, efforts are now under way to restore as many of the episodes as possible from the extant material.

Starting in the early 1990s, the BBC began to release existing audio recordings of missing serials on audio cassette and compact disc, with linking narration provided by former series actors. "Official" reconstructions have also been released by the BBC on VHS as well as MP3 CD-ROM.

[IceFlash78]

wow... i didn't know that... that's amazing that companies used to do that... I bet they're kicking their own butts now that the fad of bringing back old shows on DVD would have beent eh perfect opportunity for them to start releasing the older Dr. Who on DVD and rack in money.

The 2005 series (season one) will premiere on March 17th in the US, beggining with two back to back episodes "Rose" and "The End of The World"

Doctor Who's second season premieres TODAY on BBC One with the episode "New Earth", the episode will mark the first new ongoing season for David Tenant and will feature upcoming apperances from The Cybermen and further hints of the mysterious Torchwood organisation.

Not to mention


Bill Gates lands role in Doctor Who
Microsoft chairman and world's richest man Bill Gates has landed a role in cult BBC sci-fi drama Doctor Who, with a special half-hour episode set to hit UK screens later this year.

According to reports, Gates will play himself in the episode, the plot of which revolves around the abduction of the software tycoon while he is on a fishing trip on Lake Washington.

The Doctor, played by David Tennant, is then charged by the White House with the task of tracking down Gates' abductor – reported to be a war-mongering alien, Lord Daz Fenster, played by former Casualty star Derek Walker

[ZariusTwo]

What an amazing episode, Cassandra's return was original and had a very bittersweet conclusion, humanazing thecharacter for the first and only time as it seems. The Resdient Evil-esque plot was even better when the core of the show's themes on intimacy and cleansiness were explored. The poor creaturs had never known human touch, but infected other people whenbever they did until The Doctor uses the facilitie's decontamination sprays to cure the flesh and give them true life for the first time. The rmapage before this however was terrifiying, classic Doctor Who with a great deal of facial scarring and violence commited on the feline captors of the infected flesh.

Cassandra dominated most of Rose's screen time to the point Rose had "little interaction" (she possesed Rose's body), but her exchanges with The Doctor (and eventually inside The Doctor) were terrific, the final scenes where she inhabited her half life man slave already dying and grasping that she could indeed now die after helping to forge life anew for the human race she was the last of was emotional

The Face Of Bo also left us with a cryptic message, teleporting away from The Doctor after promising they will meet for the third and final time, where the "ultimate truth" will be revealed.


Next week: Queen Victoria and Werewolves

[ZariusTwo]

"Tooth and Claw" has aired

It's generally a very well hidden origin story for Torchwood, the organisation that will spin off into a completly original series. Victoria founds it after the attacks by the Monk's Werewolf creature. She knights The Doctor and Rose in thanks for saving her life and holding back one threat, but exiles them for their attitude around very real danger, treating it like a fun game because they've experianced it so many times. This indicates that Torchwood won't be on The Doctor's side even further, because he was kept in the dark on them during "The Christmas Invasion".

I loved the "Bad Wolf" references...proving that is'nt over either

[ThirdMarioBro]

I just started watching this. It's not that bad actually. I think I'll start keeping up with it.

[Raph's Girl]

According to reports, Gates will play himself in the episode, the plot of which revolves around the abduction of the software tycoon while he is on a fishing trip on Lake Washington.

WTF?! Bill Gates on a fishing trip on Lake Washington? "So yea...Im going fishing on a lake that's like 10 min from my estate..." :roll:

Still...The Doctor and Rose will be here! :o

Anyways my opinions on New Earth and Tooth and Claw:

New Earth: Loved it...altho anthromorph cat nurses is just weird...still New New New New New New New New New New New New New New York looked a bit like Atlantis. :lol:

Tooth and Claw: So...the royal family are werewolves? I suppose that makes a bit of sense since according to conspiracy theory sites they worship the moon. :P But on the other hand they're descended from Vlad Dracul so they'd be Werewolves AND Vamps. :lol: Loved the CGI on the werewolf. It was done quite well. I also loved that Rose was trying to get Victoria to say that she was not amused. And she did in the end! :lol: But yea... Torchwood was started by Queen Victoria. She seemed to have started several secret orgs. There's a comic series about some female James Bond types called Victoria's Secret Service. They were created to protect the crown.

Oh and that large diamond that saved everyone. Ironically I only recently learned about it. It was a question on a recent ep of Jeopardy!

[Buslady]

I'm in loooove. *drool*
http://www.buslady.com/images/DrWHO/08-1.jpg


I feel kind silly...WAY before seeing Dr #9...I've been saying "Fantastic"...
CE took over as my favorite, Sylv was before.
What I like about #9? He's modern, dresses normally, looks great, great northern accent- reminds me of my first b/f who was from Yorkshire; I love that energy, that huge smile....i think it's fantastic that he's obviously in love with Rose, he shows that...

Well whatever...I think he was great...

[ZariusTwo]

"School Reunion" just aired....

An excellent episode that followed the old "official tie-in" approach of following up on The Doctor quickly dumping Sarah Jane at the conclusion of "The Hand Of Fear" way back during the Fourth Doctor's tenure.

Sarah Jane was'nt just any other companion, hers was a different kind of departure, she never wanted to leave The Doctor's side, he made the decision to take her off the TARDIS and never bothered returning, this made him more of a crass character at the time, more so than when he became more of a manipulator during his seventh incarnation. The Doctor makes it up for her at the conclusion with a hug and a new K-9 (the third version gets blown up destroying the school)

Anthony Stewart Head was quite chilling as Finch The Headmaster, the offer he gave The Doctor to control the code the students were being forced to crack breifly gave him a pause, before Sarah and Rose snapped him out of it.

Loved the snippy exchanges between Rose and Sarah.

Rose: I've seen ghosts

Sarah Jane: Robots, lots of Robots

Rose: Aliens in Downing Street

Sarah Jane: The Loch Ness Monster

Rose: Really?

"The current meets the ex...welcome to a guy's nightmare":lol:

Hmm...british school dinners are good for your mental stability?

"I have little tolerance for mercy now", great line, and Tenant really has shown a more subtile, playful measure of savagery that Queen Victoria saw through last week and did something about it.

Next Week: "The Girl In The Fireplace", another romance rival for Rose....a spaceship from the future in the 18th century

[ZariusTwo]

"The Girl In The Fireplace" was an incredibly strong episode, right up there with "Tooth and Claw", containing one of the most bittersweet endings so far.

Premise involves a faulty spaceship, it's occupants are stalking the uncrowned 18th century Queen of France Madame de Pompadour at assorted times via time portals installed in the ship and the Madame's palace. The Doctor enconters the Madame at a young age and saves her from one of her stalkers, a clockwork cyborg race disguised in 19th century masquerade garments. The Doctor keeps making random visits, months and years passing for the Madame in the process, when investigating the time portals back and fourth figuring out why the aliens want her. Mere minutes pass for The Doctor when doing this, as opposed to Pompadour.

Over these visits, The Doctor and the Madame become closer, Pompadour becoming more infa tuated with him, and understanding him very quickly and clearly. Of course, a good old mind meld with The Doctor does that to someone not easily frightened.

It soon transpires that when she becomes thirty-seven, she will become the brain of the powerful alien vessel, also of thirty-seven years in that timeline, and needs a brain of thar age to operate it. The Doctor saves the day, and the aliens cease to function without a way back. The Doctor returns to one of the time portals and promises to take the Madame stargazing, but the saddest part of the episode then kicks into gear.

As The Doctor makes a breif run to assure Rose and Mickey he's fine, he comes back to the 18th century only to find that more years have passed, and the Madame has died of overworked stress, and a heart still waiting for her "lonley Doctor". The Doctor, saddened, departs the vessel, revealed at the conclusion to be the "SS Madame de Pompadour"

A tremendously powerful, and poigant time-crossed love story that never gives the viewer the ending that cannot hope to be acheived despite their yearning it so badly. The circumstances do not allow it, and it displays that adequently


Next week: Alternate worlds, and The Cybermen

[ZariusTwo]

"Rise Of The Cybermen" has aired

The TARDIS falls through a rapture in the time/space vortex and arrives in an alternate world, Rose's father is still alive, and is very succesful in buisness, as well as still married to her mother, but she becomes dismayed when she first learns she does'nt exist, and that a dog is named after her, and her delight of a happily married couple is let down by the confirmation from her father in conversation that he's moving out, ending the marraige as quiet as they can in society circles.

Mickey is also given the spotlight, with more of his life revealed, and some touching moments where he's reunited with his Grandmother who died when falling off of a staircase he points out she needs to fix, before being sprinted off by a resistance movement opposed to the advancments in human communication by the Cybus corporation. Mickey finds that his counterpart on this Earth is a wanted criminal and the leader of the movemet, only with a different name, "Ricky".

Meanwhile, the Cybus Corporation's diseased and dying leader hopes to create the ultimate lifeform with no emotions, no fear, no humanity, etenal life. His scheme is turned down and he retalliates by abducting homeless people and turning them into Cybermen.

The Doctor and Rose gate crash a party by The Tylors to celebrate her mother's "39th" (really 40th) birhtday party. The Doctor hacks into the Cybus Corporation's files and discovers the strategy in time to warn Rose but little else. The party is soon attacked by Cybermen, who surround The Doctor and his freinds.

Next Week: The battle against the Cybermen continues

[Buslady]

Seen em all..you can catch the eppies on youtube.com....

[ZariusTwo]

"Army of Ghosts", the first part of the season finale, has aired

EXTERMINATE!

[ZariusTwo]

New companion revealed

http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2006/07_july/05/agyeman2.shtml

[Buslady]

YAY it's started...sorta. They just air the one eppie now and the series officially starts in a few months.
Watched the Xmas special, it was fantastic. I won't spoil anything, just that it was GREAT.
I've officially ranked the 10th Doctor tied with the 9th. They both rock. David Tennant's really really putting in tons of effort into the role. The emotional stuff really hits. We've never seen the Doctor sooooooo emotional....YAY.Maybe it's the fabled half human side...inherited by his mommie. :P
And he's MY AGE! First time I can say a Doctor MY age is in now. WOOHOO! He's a youngin at 35...he's 7 mos older than me.

[Roseangelo]

I saw the new ep, too! Loved it!! And I'm really anxious for the proper start of Series 3.

I'm a newbie to Who as Eccleston was my first Doctor. I'll probably always have a soft spot for Eccleston, but I LOVE David Tennant's Doctor soooo much. I just hope I like Martha, the new companion...

[Buslady]

Yeah, Martha won't ever be able to replace Rose. She was so right for him. It was nice to see him fall in love with someone for once, and she stuck with him through his regeneration, that's a real lady for him. She loved him no matter how strange or wacky he got.

David's got that look when he's missing Rose and you just wanna cuddle him up HAHAHAHHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ZariusTwo]

Yeah, Martha won't ever be able to replace Rose. She was so right for him. It was nice to see him fall in love with someone for once, and she stuck with him through his regeneration, that's a real lady for him. She loved him no matter how strange or wacky he got.!!

Oh come on, 'shipper nonsense aside, Rose did nothing in the second season, in fact Mickey got all the development and Tennant did'nt seem to bother much with her until the final few episodes. Rose was the Ninth Doctor's companion in almost every sense of the word, redeeming the brooding Time Lord and allowing him to find purpose, but afterwards the writers just ignored her until it was time to get rid of her.

Granted, when they did dispose of her, they did it wonderfully, and Tennant genually put on a gripping performance that tore up audiences in the finale, but objectivly, the second season almost completly ignored her.

And being an old school fan, I've seen much better companions, plus Rose is'nt the only one to witness and stay with The Doctor following a regeneration or even when he suffered going through it (Sarah Jane Smith and god knows who else come to mind), plus he's fallen in love before (Sarah Jane Smith and Grace Holloway from the 1996 TV Movie)

I do agree however that The Runaway Bride was awesome, Rose was only mentioned three times, and seen once in a very quick flashback, one thing that was revealed was that without a companion, The Doctor is unrestrained, Donna (the Bride) said it better than I can, "You need someone to stop you"

[ZariusTwo]

Ha.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6214425.stm

Look, you tried this with Eccelston BBC, you're not fooling anyone...

I'm no newbie, I been a fan since 1985ish. There's no other companion who actually said at their time with him, that they loved him. Sarah, imo, was the other who possibly had something for him. Romana probably had a fling with him, but nothing serious.
He wasn't in love with Grace. Yes he kissed her but it wasn't love, it was more of joy that his memories returned.I certainly do not recall him kidding Sarah.
I feel Rose fit with both 9th and 10th just fine. But only the 9th kissed her, that was MORE than just pulling votex energy from her. Who knows what else went on behind the TARDIS doors.
I'm not a "shipper".

[ZariusTwo]

The Doctor and Sarah's relationship was subtle, not direct. Watch the ending of "The Hand Of Fear", seriously, he could'nt even look at her when they landed, knowing he was ditching the one person who had willingly followed him everywhere and would continue to do so for the rest of her life. Hell the pilot of "Sarah Jane Adventures" confirms she loved him.

I'm not a "shipper".

Stop acting like one then. As there the only ones who would'nt take into account the fact Rose was useless this season and her story had been told in the Eccelston season

There are other fans on Outpost Gallifrey who feel the same or have similar feelings about Rose as I do-they are NOT shippers; these are hard core fans. Some also feel as you do. Some absolutely hate Rose, some love her character. I have a friend who is a DrWho novelist, I believe he liked Rose, don't know what he thought of their relationship though.
Just because that is what YOU believe does not make it what everybody says. Rose was not useless, no companion is ever useless. They all have their purpose.
Sarah Jane may have loved him, but did he love her?
The Doctor reciprocated Rose's flirting; did he do so with Sarah? I don't think so. I never saw it.
Romana? There was some flirting going on. Who knows what those two did.

[Anarky]

You know, after almost twenty years of watching Doctor Who and all his adventures, the Daleks still scare me. Their "Exterminate!" still creeps me out, their looks still make me freak... and somehow, I love the Daleks for that. And this new series is great!

And Billie Piper as Rose doesn't do such a bad job. Okay, I admit, she's only got two different moods, perky or sobbing, but she's doing a good job as Rose.

[ZariusTwo]

[Scavenger]

According To Wiki it's on March the 31st...

[Anarky]

That is correct and it was fantastic. Doctor Who just can't be bad. I mean, sure, there's ups and downs, but every child with a british background knows and most of the time loves the show. And that theme song is just unforgettable.

Martha was surprisingly good. I expected her entry to be less spectacular. And you know what I really appreciate with the show? They're not setting anything up, they just throw people right into some intergalactic mess. You can really see it happening, since life can be absurd that way. Great episode. Gotta love the Doctor.

[Roseangelo]

Yup, definitely enjoyed this episode. I like Martha, but I think it might take a couple more episodes for me to get used to her. That doesn't mean she was bad, though. It took me a few episodes to get used to David Tennant in the role and now I adore him.

[Scavenger]

Genetic transfer my arse. The doctor just wanted to shag her.

[Raph's Girl]

Man.. this was an awesome episode! The highlights?:

Aliens wearing Nightwatcher outfits....that's what they looked like to me. :lol:

And the aliens weren't just any regular run of the mill aliens....they were Rhinos!! So this will be the closest we'll ever get to seeing Rocksteady or Genosuke done live action. :evilgrin:

Next week! Shakespear!! WOOT! Men dressed up as women! :lol:

[ZariusTwo]

Amazing opener. The Doctor showing off in the opener was a terrific peice of comedy, which of course was given a great explanation in the ending.

Loved The Judoon's dismissal of human lifeforms, not to mention the "compensation" line

[Roseangelo]

Ok, this week's episode won mega bonus points from me for all of the Harry Potter stuff. Just brilliant. And I'm not a Shakespeare person, but a friend of mine who is said all of that stuff was also brilliant. A very enjoyable episode!

And I'm REALLY looking forward to next week's with the Face of Boe!

[Anarky]

It was a good episode, really. But I'm more a fan of episodes that take place in the future or on other planets. With episodes throughout history, you kind of know how it will end. However, Shakespeare kicked ass. And you've got to love "Freedonia" and The Doctor's rambling when he's thinking about stuff.

[Raph's Girl]

I wonder what Shakespear is?? He was able to see the Psychic paper for what it really was and he figured out that the doctor and Martha weren't from the 16th century.

Also.. just what did the doctor do to piss off Queen Elizabeth 1st?? :lol: Man...the doctor keeps on pissing off the queens of England. First Victoria and now Elizabeth!

And BTW... a bit of historical inaccuracy. The ep was set in 1599 and it was mentioned that the Queen hadn't gone to any of Shakespears plays. Yet according to the true history she saw Love's Labour's Lost in 1597.

Love's Labour's Won was supposadly written around 1598.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love%27s_Labour%27s_Won

A bit of Trivia: A theatre near the Globe was called The Rose. Would have been neat if it had been mentioned or the doctor saw it.

As for all the references to Harry Potter. Loved it! *lmao* The Doctor is an HP fan. Good to know. :D

[ZariusTwo]

Trailer for the remaining new episodes of the third season

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spwrBPXj9zQ)

The next episode "42" is a real-time 43 minute story in the style of "24".

[Roseangelo]

I really liked today's episode. But who was that guy talking to Martha's mom? I feel like I should know who he is (his name was mentioned at the end), but I can't recall who that is at all.

The trailer for the second half of the season was great. I am sooooo looking forward to Captain Jack!!!

[ZariusTwo]

I really liked today's episode. But who was that guy talking to Martha's mom? I feel like I should know who he is (his name was mentioned at the end), but I can't recall who that is at all

The man talking to Mrs. Jones was'nt Mister Saxon, he was simply passing information from him to her. Saxon was the guy smiling at the camera and breathing through the gas mask near the end of the trailer

[Anarky]

But who is Mister Saxon then? I mean, I have the feeling that I should know him from somewhere.

But that was a good episode. Not spectacular, but good. And the monster had a very cool design, too.

[Raph's Girl]

Remember when the face of boe said the doctor wasn't alone? He was refering to Mr. Saxon who is in reality The Master!!!!MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Roseangelo]

Remember when the face of boe said the doctor wasn't alone? He was refering to Mr. Saxon who is in reality The Master!!!!MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

OOOOHH!!!!!

My old school Who knowledge is quite limited, but I do know who that is!!!

This is gonna be SWEET!!!

[ZariusTwo]

"Utopia" began the season finale in earnest, with a major twist, and a major surprise apperance. Despite the build, this was'nt entirely about Captain Jack, but a kindly old Professor finding himself again...and the result could cost us our very lives

Next week, Mr. Saxon begins his political campaign, seizes control of Downing Street, and begins an alien invasion. The Doctor, Martha and Jack, seperated from the TARDIS, must return from the end of the very universe to end the threat of The Doctor's deadliest enemy.

[Roseangelo]

I'm still waiting for today's episode... very impatiently.

But since I haven't commented in a few weeks, the last several have been quite good. And "Blink" was the first time I've ever actually felt scared during Doctor Who. It really freaked me out, but it was also insanely brilliant.

[ZariusTwo]

I SAID...RUN! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pcs4khScdCU&mode=user&search=)

[Roseangelo]

No way am I watching it on YouTube!! I shall patiently way for my usual method to show itself.

[ZariusTwo]

It's just the trailer for next week's episode, of course the comments spoil the heck out of it. Sorry.

[Roseangelo]

Ah, well for that I can just wait 'til I watch this week's. :)

Oh and for some good Doctor Who humor:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9uugVWW_XE

[Roseangelo]

Ok, just watched it... gah!

Pretty darn good, although the ending is going to make a friend of mine freak out. When I brought up the Master earlier in the season to her she went on and on and on about how it's absolutely not possible for him to return.

Still love Captain Jack. :D

[Anarky]

Wow, that was fantastic. Really. I mean, I say that just about every week after watching the Doctor and his friends, but this time, it's even more fantastic than usual. And we finally know what's up with Captain Jack.

I can't wait for next week!

[Raph's Girl]

Yay! We saw Rose!

I love how Jack *drools* kept on flirting with well everyone and the doctor kept on telling him to stop and Martha had a major bewildered look on her face. She was a bit confused. :lol:

But I like how they did the Master's name. Prof. Yana. You Are Not Alone.

And do all time lords have watche's that look like that or is that the same one??? I totally want one darnit!

[Buslady]

So now I want to know....

How the Master steal more lives? The last we saw him he was a blob and was supposedly destroyed. It'd been awhile since I've seen the 1996 tvm so i forget how he was destroyed.

I think the real scary ep of this season was the angels one, that freaked me out. OMG. Scarier than Daleks, Cybermen...cos Angel statues are common .....

[ZariusTwo]

The Master was drawn into the Eye of Harmony within the TARDIS, a theory is that when Rose opened the heart of the TARDIS, she released The Master and he hid at the end of the universe, keeping the most of his personality dormant in the fob watch until The Doctor arrived to remind him, that's why traces of his personality, and the drums, remain, he did'nt store all of it so he could force his human self to open the watch when fully prompted by everything that happened

Another idea is that The Master was "spat out" when he gave the TARDIS indigestion, but when it did so, it stored his memories in the watch and dumped him as a new born child at the Silver Devastation, giving him a second chance to relive his life free of his past deeds

[Buslady]

great ideas Zarius, nice. Hopefully we'll see what they say about it. I miss Anthony Ainley though, he was cool.

"A universe without the Doctor scarcely bears thinking about..." IS one of the lines I love how he delivered.
This new guy better play a good Master...

[ZariusTwo]

Only with Doctor Who will you ever see the entire human race attacked by aliens using this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkBuzLWVORI)song.

[Roseangelo]

Keep in mind this is the same show that watched the Earth die to Britney Spears. :lol: But I wasn't familiar with this song, so thanks for the link!

As for the episode... gah... I think I had four or five heart attacks while watching. Next week is not going to be good.

[Buslady]

Holy crap that was a hell of an ep today...OMG...hehe...
I can't wait for the season finale...

I loved...Seeing bits of Gallifrey and the master as a kid.

[NightwatchersOnlygirl]

I saw that one too good

[Raph's Girl]

OMG! Did anybody else expect to see Tony Stark or a man with an eye patch in this ep?? Seriously give it up for the master cuz he built himself a Shield Helicarrier! :lol:

Cool to see a live action Shield Helicarrier.

This was an awesome ep. I loved the flashback images of Galifry and a young Master starring into the Stargate er vortex thingy! :D

I also loved that song that played! It was fitting since the album it's on is entitled Here Come The Drums. :lol:

[Anarky]

OMG! Did anybody else expect to see Tony Stark or a man with an eye patch in this ep?? Seriously give it up for the master cuz he built himself a Shield Helicarrier! :lol:

Har-de-har-har... You're not funny. Do you defecate over fandoms like that on a regular basis?

But the episode was excellent. I can't wait for next week. I wonder how The Doctor will get his youth back. I mean, it's unlikely that he's going to regenerate, because Tennant is around for another series, right? Maybe some TARDIS-mojo. Speaking of which, you just don't do things like that to the TARDIS...

[ZariusTwo]

You've never seen an episode of Captain Scarlet in your life have you? Because if you did, you'd know that Marvel ripped the helicarrier from that series also.

[Buslady]

WOOHOO! Season ender tonite!

but it sucks cos then we gotta wait ANOTHER freakin year for new eps.
Series' are too short over there!!

[ZariusTwo]

Holy s*it.

Some tremendously emotional and heartbreaking scenes...killed by a Flash Gordon reference.:lol:

And that was'nt even the cliffhanger.

[Roseangelo]

Holy crap, it was awesome!!!

And the last bit with Captain Jack... :teek: :thyper: :tlove:

Sad to see Martha go, though... and here I was hoping we might actually have the same team for two seasons in a row. :ohwell:

[Raph's Girl]

OMG! That was an awesome ep!

What was the Flash Gordon reference??

I did NOT expect Capt Jack to be revealed as the Face of Bo!! :o . So technically he's been in the series from the start!!! :lol:

Is it just me or did the doctor evolve into Dobby the House Elf from Harry Potter??? I kept thinking he'd ask for a sock or something. :lol:

[Buslady]

I thought it was weird well, I was going to put it inspoiler brackets but someone else SPOILED it for others.
Weird that Jack is the Face of Boe - I don't see how this giant head could have been Jack's, where's the rest of him?

(since the previous spoiler was suddenly wrapped, now mine is)

The final scene was heartwrenching,
To see the Doctor, holding a dying Master in his arms, shot by a bullet and refusing to regenerate was really sad...but ....that ring was taken. Now...what's so special about that ring? Could he really still be kicking?

The BBC was not thrilled with Freema, that's why there's no more Martha and neither was I. I didn't really care much about her. There won't be anyone else like Rose...I loved when the Doctor would proclaim her as "My Rose"...he so loved her and vice versa, I wished Billie would come back for a little while.
Rose seemed and felt more freebird than uptight Martha, she wasn't his equal; she wasn't as clever and quick. Nah, she's not Rose. I know.
What really bugged me about Martha, it was like the 2nd ep she was in love with him...I'm like ?!?!!? She has NO HISTORY with him!! Rose lived through a regeneration and saved his butt, there was some love there. She really cared for him; he did as well. His pain being ripped apart from her was there when she got sucked to the other 'verse...

I hope the next companion is better.

[Roseangelo]

I thought it was weird well, I was going to put it inspoiler brackets but someone else SPOILED it for others.

Um, the only details given about the deal with Jack were under spoiler tags, so it's your own fault if you looked. Not a reason to not use spoiler tags.

[Anarky]

That was a brilliant season finale. Really. Better than last season's even. and the thing about Jack was just awesome. I mean, never saw it coming, makes sense... more or less and it's just fun. It's a shame to see Martha leave, I liked her being able to kick butt and I liked her strong personality, which was very different from the one Rose had. Not that I didn't like Rose, on the contrary, but it was cool to see someone who didn't either cry or pout all the time.

All in all, it was a brilliant season and I hope they keep on going like this.

[Buslady]

Um, the only details given about the deal with Jack were under spoiler tags, so it's your own fault if you looked. Not a reason to not use spoiler tags.


No Someone had them out in the open. I dont care, I saw it...... it's not biggie to me. It was in the open when I read it, now it's wrapped.


anyways.

I'm glad to see Martha go, I didn't like her in the first place. She doesnt fit. There's no chemistry between Martha and the Doctor.

[ZariusTwo]

The BBC was not thrilled with Freema, that's why there's no more Martha and neither was I

You honestly swallow anything the bats*it SUN tell you? How foolish

Martha is'nt gone. She's going to be a recurring character appearing in both Doctor Who and Torchwood. There WILL be a new companion that she has to compete with, and ultimately, it forces her to change her approach to The Doctor.

There won't be anyone else like Rose..

Oooooh boy, here we go, ROSE FANGIRL ALERT!

Really, the character served a major role in her first season, but became a background character in season two, doing nothing until "Army of Ghosts" except making all the little fangirls swoon just by clutching The Doctor's arm. Mickey had better development than her with his "idiot to icon" progression.

Martha is a certified doctor, she IS smarter than Rose, and as this finale proved, she pulled herself together and became a legend and inspriation to the populance, saying nothing but a story, she saved The Doctor's life with prayer and inspiring hope, how the hell can you compare that to Rose? She sneezed a few Daleks away and forced a regeneration out of her reckless pursuit of love, Martha saved the universe with one word. and it did'nt cost The Doctor another life.

Honestly, when people thrash Martha, there not thinking rationally, just like any typical fangirl, they just want to swoon again at some useless mary sue clutching to The Doctor's shoulder.

[Anarky]

I see why people can not love Rose though. I mean, she's smart, she's independent and she's basically a really cool character. The smart-part could be the one that might frighten some people. So Buslady might be thinking very rationally, actually, reacting with antipathy towards someone who'd be superior.

Rose was a slacker, basically a loser in society's eye, and so there was always the pity-element to liking her. Kind of like "Wow, she's such a loser and The Doctor still takes her along for the ride." It's the same model they use for many, many cartoon main characters to make them appear sympathetic. They make them complete losers. And Martha just wasn't a loser, she kicks ass when asskicking's needed.

Having that said, I have to say that I like both, Martha and Rose, for what they contributed to the series.

[Roseangelo]

You'd really think I'd be used to this by now, but I clicked into this thread, read, "Rose was a slacker," and took personal offense. THEN realized, oooh THAT Rose. :P

Anywho, I like both Rose and Martha just fine. Series 1 with Nine and Rose was my first first exposure to Doctor Who. It took me a few episodes to get used to Ten, but I've come to love him. It took me a few episodes to get used to Martha, but I really did like her. And I'm sure we'll be seeing her at least once more. I really was hoping we'd have the same team for two seasons in a row so that I wouldn't have to spend a few episodes getting used to someone. Alas.

And hopefully Jack will be happy in the next season of Torchwood so the show can pay more attention to him instead of him going off and being broody all the time.

[ZariusTwo]

And here's confirmation of Martha's return and apperances in Torchwood, plus the annoucment of a new companion (possibly Sally Sparrow from "Blink")

While the final episode of Series Three, screened last Saturday , saw The Doctor's companion Martha leave to care for her devastated family, and to break the cycle of unrequited love she feels for The Doctor, the production team has now confirmed that the character is set to make a triumphant return in the fourth series.

Freema Agyeman is also set to join the cast of Torchwood, where she will continue to play the character in three new episodes before returning to Doctor Who in the middle of the fourth series.

As Doctor Who's Executive Producer and head writer, Russell T Davies notes: "Series three has gained outstanding reviews and Freema has been a huge part of that success, gaining rave notices for her portrayal of Martha. Now we are taking the character of Martha into brand new territory with a starring role in Torchwood".

"I can't wait to start filming on Torchwood and the new series of Doctor Who," said Freema. "It's a huge new challenge for me and I'm delighted Russell has decided to expand the character of Martha Jones.'"

The new announcement leaves a vacant space in the TARDIS. A new companion for The Doctor, who will join the new series for the entire 13 week run, will be announced shortly.

[Roseangelo]

Kylie Minogue is confirmed for Voyage of the Damned:

http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/nm/20070703/2007_07_02t195353_450x332_us_minogue.jpg

LONDON (Reuters) - Australian pop diva Kylie Minogue will join the cast of British science-fiction TV drama Doctor Who for a special Christmas episode, the BBC said on Tuesday.
ADVERTISEMENT

Britain's public-funded broadcaster said Minogue, 39, would play a "major lead role" alongside Dr Who actor David Tennant.

The hour-long episode, "Voyage of the Damned," will start filming in Cardiff, Wales, in July.

"It is an incredible thrill to be joining David and the entire Dr Who production for this year's Christmas special," said Minogue.

"Dr Who enjoys a unique history and it is going to be very exciting to be a part of that."

Former television soap opera star Minogue returned to the stage last November with a sell out concert in Sydney after recovering from breast cancer.

I'm not a freakin "rose fangirl"...I jsut think she was better. Billie's a better actress, thats all. I felt she had a more believable relationship with him.
Martha in love with him by her 2nd episode! gimme a break! Couldn't stand her. Wreckless pursuit of love?!? WTF is Martha doing? She keeps hoping and pining over the Doctor! She's rediculous!

And yes I'm well aware of Martha's occasional appearances. I'm not completely out of it. Duh...I've been at the fandom of DrWHO for 22 years, I do know whats going on.


Will this Kylie be a one shot like in the last holiday show or staying on?

[Roseangelo]

Will this Kylie be a one shot like in the last holiday show or staying on?

Shouldn't you know since you say you know what's going on? :P

The new companion hasn't been announced yet.

[Anarky]

There we go, the new companion. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/6267680.stm) And guess who it is! Catherine "Lauren Cooper" Tate! Whoohooo!

Wasn't expecting that, but I think it should work out just fine!! Actually, I think it's a really good move to not introduce another brand new character.

Just cos Human Nature's always been one of the best freakin books ever.

[Raph's Girl]

And so it starts.. Read some possable spoilers about the upcoming season of Doctor Who and phew is it a doosy! If they're true then this season brings back Rose!! I already read that Mickey was returning but it looks like Rose does too! Also we'll see the Time War and some of the previous doctors. Donna Noble (the Runnaway Bride) will be returning to be the doctor's companion but will eventually be joined by Rose, Mickey, and even Martha! Boy it's gonna seem a tad crowded in the Tardis! ô,0 There's also a rumour of a special ep that has the return of Chris Eccleston and Paul McGann! :o But from everything Im now looking at. Looks like these could all be true. Also Martha is gonna be on a couple eps of Torchwood. Also the Ood are confirmed as returning.

To read the spoilers go here:
http://www.sylvestermccoy.com/newdoctorwho/

There's also info at Wikipedia.

[ZariusTwo]

Those spoilers are garbage. "Sapphire Avenged" with Joanna Lumley, yeah, that is SO not winking to British fans..Terrance Dicks?! (He was'nt on the list of COFIRMED WRITERS), fanwank galore like The Brigader and The Autons one after the other?

Jesus H. Christ, you know things are bleak when THE SUN is always more accurate than F*CKING FAN SITES.

The BBC confirmed that The Odd would be returning, that Davies will write the season premiere, that Agatha Christy will appear, and the details of what would happen, that's why that crappy site's synopsis for "On Donna" and the second episode are VAUGE, and the rest have no problem spewing bulls*it with non-stop fangasms.

And the biggest giveaway is the continued use of that wonderous in-joke with the Axons, they used them for fake spoilers last season.

[ZariusTwo]

Further proof those rumours are rubbish.

Tennant will be leaving mid-way through the season

FILMING on Doctor Who was thrown into chaos after an Italian film set bosses planned to use, was hit by a fire. Crew on the BBC1 drama flew out to Rome’s Cinecitta studios — where the Beeb filmed their epic Rome series — earlier this week. They plan to make an Ancient Rome-themed episode for Doctor Who’s fourth series there later this year.

But on Thursday night a huge blaze ripped through the studio — destroying masses of expensive BBC equipment. An insider said: "It was a huge blaze. At one point, it looked like the whole studio was a goner. It threw a real spanner in the works for the Doctor Who team. They’re planning an episode where the Doctor goes back in time to Ancient Rome and thought it would be perfect to use the set."

Who bosses still plan to use the set once fire damage has been cleared up, with insiders suggesting crucial parts were still intact. Doctor Who executive producer Julie Gardner said: "Some of the production team have been looking at locations in Italy for the new series. The Doctor will have a Roman adventure.”

Meanwhile, TV Biz can reveal that show star David Tennant is set to take a starring role in a stage version of Hamlet. The Royal Shakespeare Company is set to announce next month that the actor will play the Danish prince in 2008.

Taking the role is likely to mean David is forced to quit Doctor Who before the end of series four — as we predicted

[Raph's Girl]

Got a confirmation on season 4! Joan Collins will be playing the role of th evil Rani! A Time Lady first seen in the Tom Baker era! :o

4 Kylie Minogue will guest star as Astrid, a waitress aboard the Titanic, in the Christmas Special "Voyage of the Damned", set to air on 25 December 2007. Veteran character actor Bernard Cribbins will also make a cameo in this episode

5: The Doctor and Donna Noble will meet Agatha Christie, author of murder mysteries. Her part will be played by Fenella Woolgar in an episode, set in the 1920s, where she will be supported by famous comic actress Felicity Kendal, who will play the part of Lady Clemency Eddison.

6: The following folks will be in the Planet of the Ood and or Agatha Christie eps::Tim McInnerny, Felicity Jones, Christopher Benjamin, Tom Goodman-Hill, Ian Barritt, David Quilter, Adam Rayner, Daniel King and Charlotte Eaton.

And in other news...Sarah Jane Adventures will be airing soon (all they're saying is Autumn) so wee.... the adventures of Sarah Jane Smith and her sonic...lipstick. *sighs*

"Doctor Who" fans will be forced to go for almost two years without a series fix from the Tardis-travelling Timelord, because actor David Tennant will take time off to do stagework, the BBC said Monday.

The fourth season of the latest iteration of the sci-fi action drama will air in the spring of 2008, but season five will be delayed until 2010, BBC director of fiction Jane Tranter said Monday.

The show is one of the public broadcaster's biggest success stories in recent years and has proved an international hit.

The BBC will air three one-off specials during 2009 and a Christmas special in 2008.

Tennant will work with the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford Upon Avon on projects thought to include a lengthy run of "Hamlet."

I think this is neat that they're doing this. I've never heard of a series that would go on hiatus cuz the star has other work going on. I don't mind having to wait 2 years for Season 5. It'll definatly be well worth it in the end. :D

I'm surprised. No threads on Dr. Who. I thought that there would be a bit more discussion, but oh well. May as well try now.

I'm not an avid watcher of the series, but last week I watched my first Dr. Who episode. A new one titled "The Weeping Angels".

FRICKIN' HELL!!!!! I can not walk into dark rooms now. Those angels were terrifying to the point where I'm probably going to live in fear of them for the rest of the year. Apparently it is one of the scariest Dr. Who episodes made. I loved it though. I absolutely loved how it's just made me so frightened of the darkness. Nothing on TV really does that to you any more, so it's quite refreshing to watch something and nearly wet yourself while doing so. And that message... "Do not blink." That is just brilliant.

...I just love how it was directed and played out on screen. The cuts and lighting effects in the final scene were probably some of the best editing of shots I have seen on live action TV. No action involved. Just the actors there doing what they had to do while the lights were flickering and the camera was continuously cutting away.

Anyone else watching it? Or used to watch it?

[Anarky]

We actually have a huge thread on the Doctor and his adventures, it's usually somewhere on the first page, too. It's one of the bigger ones we have here. Proves to me that there are people with taste. I merged the threads together.

And personally, I thought while "Blink" was awesome (the name of the Weeping-Angels-Episode), I liked "The Empty Child" better. It had the way bigger fear factor than Blink, while Blink had the better horrormovie-effects. To all those who saw "The Empty Child:"

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d3/Theemptychild.jpg
Are you my mummy?

EDIT: Oh, and by the way, if you like more horrormovie-ish stuff in the universe of the Doctor, check out Torchwood. Especially the Fairies-episode.

That episode was Torchwood done right (besides the pilot), Jack's actions in that episode were terrifyingly simple and put him on the level of The Doctor. Loved the flashbacks to his past, and his platoon going through the tunnel.

You seriously think the official press release that was forced by the Tabloid press leaks is more accurate? :roll:

There only confirming Piper's return and labelling everything "unconfirmed" because the photos back up the spoilers this time, and most of the time the spoilers are accurate.


-The Daleks/Cybermen battle was leaked despite RTD claiming The Daleks wouldnt appear in season two
-The Master's return was leaked months before "Utopia"
-Peter Davison's return was leaked months before they announced it publicly.

Confirmation on Scifi Wire. The news is lagit:

http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=0&id=45817

Billie Piper, who played Rose Tyler during the first two seasons of the BBC's revived Doctor Who series, will return for three episodes in season four, the BBC confirmed. The news was leaked on Nov. 26 by a fan who snapped photos of Piper in costume on the set in Cardiff, Wales.

Piper will be one of three actresses to join David Tennant's Doctor in the upcoming season, including Catherine Tate, who first appeared as Donna Noble in last year's Christmas special, "The Runaway Bride," and Freema Agyeman, who played Martha Jones in the third season and returns for a limited run in season four. It is not clear whether Rose will meet any of the Doctor's other companions during her three-episode run.

Doctor Who returns to the BBC for a Christmas special on Dec. 25 titled "Voyage of the Damned." The episode, set on the Titanic, will co-star singer and actress Kylie Minogue. The fourth season premieres in March and will run for 13 episodes.

David's already been confirmed for 2009, but it won't be a regular season so he can have time off to do other stuff.

The BBC usually cover stuff up and then leak out what the tabloids are often 90& accurate about as the premieres come closer. I dont actually expect Tennant to be The Doctor for the specials. There's some rumour about Piper or John Simm serving as "hosts" for The Doctor's conscience

[ZariusTwo]

Excellent special

Gotta love that BS "Astrid is the TARDIS" rumour, it was to cover up the death of about half the supporting cast and Astrid's "Ellen Ripley" death and ascension to "living energy"

[Raph's Girl]

My fave scene in the entire movie was The Queen and her Corgi! Can't show the Queen without showing one of her precious Corgi's!! :lol:

The episode is called "The Unicorn and The Wasp", it's more a murder mystery too...

[Raph's Girl]

OMG!! It seems that the 4th season of Dr. Who is gonna air in the U.S on the sci-fi channel in April!! Wouldn't it be funny if it aired in the U.S before it aired in the UK?! I haven't heard one single release date for it in the UK yet! :o

[ZariusTwo]

I think, like Torchwood, we'll get it a week before the states. It'd be interesting if they got that exclusive though.

[Buslady]

DrWho usually starts in March. It'd be NICE to get it NEW in April.

I'm gonna have Sylvester McCoy & Sophie Aldred on my bus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An allegedly embargoed BBC Press Release due for distribution in March. I doubt anyone would go to these lengths to photoshop a less-than-predictably-sensationalist name as The Doctor. This could be the real deal.

[Buslady]

Today:

Me, Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred and my bus 5561. Picked them up today after their cruise along with John Levine (Sgt Benton) and a group of Whovians. :D They do this event every year after Gallifrey One Convention. Someday I'm going on this cruise and I'll be the passenger, not the driver of the motorcoach!

"Partners in Crime" has aired in the UK. It'll air in the States next week I think.


Fun opener, nothing offensive. The Adipose were more victims of their birth's cirumstances than any real meance, they were innocent babies that just happened to be born out of your skin, preservation of a race was a nice twist to Foster's scheme, even if she still acted particulary ruthless to ensure the race thrived. The Doctor and Donna's comedy exchanges (missing one another for twenty minutes, they yelling at each other through opposing windows) was great.

Glad they also addressed that it's not always Time Lords that can create sonic weapons, others can too (look at the Time Agency)

Bernard Cribbon's character returned, revealed as Donna's Grandfather, and an ambitious UFO spotter who missed the Adipose mothership by looking through his telescope in the opposite direction. Hysterical. He does at least manage to spot the TARDIS when it departs with The Doctor and Donna. Donna waving to him was a nice upbeat conclusion.

Got to love The Doctor reduced to carrying Donna's bags, and Donna mistaking the word "mate" for sex.

Donna tells a nearby girl that her car keys are in the bag and to alert her mother when she arrives in the alley to collect her car, but the girl turns her head to reveal that IT'S ROSE, she turns to walk and fades away, crossing over the rift back to her own universe

[Raph's Girl]

Wow! I totally didn't expect to see Rose already!! :o

Loved the episode. I want a Sonic pen!! Funniest parts was the woman who kept on being tied up and the part with the grandfather.

Those aliens made of fat were adorable!

[Raph's Girl]

Wow.. this was one intense episode!! I still don't like Donna tho.

Funniest scene "Im Spartacus!" "So am I!" :lol:

Poor Doctor. He had to make a hard choice. But it was interesting that they only focused on the volcano blowing up Pompeii. Everyone forgets that Visuvius also blew up Herculaneum! Was those 10 thousand dead including those in Herculaneum as well??

*reads* Ah... 10 - 20 thousand were living in Pompeii while 5,000 were living in Herculaneum.

[Raph's Girl]

Loved this ep!! Yay!! Now we know more about the Ood!!

So is the doctor part Vulcan or did he learn the mind meld from one? :P

Nice to know that The Simpsons are still known about in the 43rd century. :roll:

[ZariusTwo]

I loved the "You dropped something" model for obvious reasons.

"Planet of the Oood" made wonder if the BBC knew what they were doing when they constantly kept rescheduling the fourth season? This is pre-watershed and we have guns, Ood being shot, Ood losing control, The Doctor going maniacal in a cage, and Captain Darling puking out his intestines and his brain

Apparently the episode they aired was an edited version, they did a much more violent version that'll presumbly be on the DVD release

Oh and Christmas Special spoiler

The Cybermen commence an invasion of Victorian London

[Raph's Girl]

*chants* Sontar Hah! Sontar Hah! Sontar Hah!

Wow... this was an intense ep!! Kewl to see a Sonatarran space ship. Kinda looks like a combo of a Dalek and DS9. :lol:

Now with me the 70's eps that featured the Sontarans against the 4th Doctor and Leela are somewhat fresh in my mind as PBS aired them about a month ago.

Sontarans in the 70's were actually taller then they are now!

They totally remind me of Klingons. Well Klingons and Triceratons.

[Raph's Girl]

Doctor Who: Braught to you by Metlife (they really didn't have to show the Metlife building)!

Anybody else catch the brief flash of Rose screaming?? Warning the doctor perhaps??

Fave part of the ep is when the General and the Doctor put on the gas masks:
General: "Latest firing construct! What do you think?"
Doctor: "Are you my mummy??" :lol:

Greatest use of a SHIELD Hellicarrier, clearing away fog. I bet those Londoners could one of those every day....

[ZariusTwo]

Yes, the fact the production staff remembered The Valiant was still there was a nice nod of continuity...

[Raph's Girl]

Good eppy!! I like how Martha started to understand the Hoth.

And Jenny... Me thinks she'll become the Time Mistress.

[discordiatookie]

I'm absolutely loving the series so far. And in mine and my friend Scott's (major Doctor Who fan, who is currently lending me his old Doctor Who DVD collection for my pleasure) poll for the hottest female star, Jenny has just taken over from Sally Sparrow at the top. Yep, we be typical boys! In fact a text mesage I sent him read "Omigod those eyes. The Doctor's daughter's eyes..." To which he replied "She's like love on legs. Oh Jenny." :lol: Before it was random texts like "SALLY SPARROW FOR COMPANION!" Which I still stand by.

Just watched the Unicorn and the Wasp earlier, although it was a fun and quirky episode, I must say that it's probably my least favourite of the series so far. And although the return of Martha was good, I much prefered her return on Torchwood. Speaking of which, in the last two Torchwood episodes, when it went back to Cpt Jack's victorian times, the brunette Scottish Torchwood employee who was torturing Jack and who dug him up in the last ep, is my sister's best friend Amy Mansen. She lives in London nowadays and I aint seen her for ages, but it was ace seeing her on the telly! Next time I see her, i'm gonna have a million questions for her!!

Slowly waiting the full return of Rose, woot!

[Raph's Girl]

Just watched the Unicorn and the Wasp earlier.!

Loved this ep... ah a good ole fashioned Agatha Christie murder mystery complete with um.. wait... is it bestiality if it's an alien bee??.

Trivia: Agatha divorced her husband 2 years later!

But the locations were a bit off:

On 8 December 1926, while living in Sunningdale in Berkshire, she disappeared for ten days, causing great interest in the press. Her car was found in a chalk pit in Newland's Corner, Surrey. She was eventually found at the Swan Hydro (now the Old Swan hotel) in Harrogate under the name of the woman with whom her husband had recently admitted to having an affair. She had suffered a nervous breakdown and a fugue state caused by the death of her mother and her husband's infidelity. She could not recount any information as to her disapearance due to amnesia. Opinions are still divided[citation needed] as to whether this was a publicity stunt.

Chalk pit? Bit of a difference between a Chalk pit and a lake.... :P and the name of the hotel is Swan Hydro IN Harrogate...not Harrogate Hotel...

More trivia. The doctor seems to have given Agatha some ideas himself. Case in point...in 1945 she wrote a book called The Sparkling Cyanide! :lol:

Ah here's the full list of the books mentioned:
Why Didn't They Ask Evans (refering to the gay kid)
Murder On The Orient Express (Donna mentions it)
Miss Marple (Donna mentions it)
The Murder at the Vicarage (the 2 thieves killed in the church)
Cards on the Table (the Unicorn was sitting at a card table! )
Appointment with Death The doctor interviewing the people
N or M? The main characters are a Detective Tommy and his female sidekick, Tuppence...Hmmm
The Body in the Library (Poor Prof. Peach)
The Moving Finger (The doctor pointing at the suspects *L*)
Sparkling Cyanide (gee thanks doctor)
Crooked House (Agatha mentions the house is crooked)
They Do It With Mirrors I dunno.. I guess it's the mansion...
Cat Among the Pigeons A thief steals jewels and a detective pretends he's something else
The Secret Adversary The first story about Tommy and Tuppence.
Nemesis Poison I guess
Taken at the Flood (Daddy wasp is killed in a flood)
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (The book Lady Eddison was reading)
Death in the Clouds (Agatha's memories)

This ep is somewhat reminiscent of the TNG 2 parter that deals with Samuel Clemens.

Oh! And this week on PBS they started a 6 part Doctor Who story (4th doctor...final appearance of the annoying Leela) that involves the Time Lady Rodan (which came first? The Doctor Who character or the Godzilla monster???) and...Sontarans!

[ZariusTwo]

Martha didnt do a damn thing on Torchwood compared to her three weeks returning to Doctor Who

That said, I had no love for TUATW. Certaingly has hit a nice spot with some fans, and I can see why, but I found it pedestrian compared to the last few.

Episode twelve is rumoured to be called

"War on Skaro"

And images have revealed that

A Red Dalek is to appear...with a very important secret

[ZariusTwo]

It's now been confirmed that Stephen Moffat will take over from Russel T Davies aas head writer and executive producer for the fifth season in 2010. Davies will write the 2009 specials

Zarius, it'd really be helpful if you provided links to backup all of the stuff you post. I've read the Moffat story in several places today, but links, especially with the spoiler stuff, would really help put a context around everything.

Wow... Just wow...

I seriously cannot wait for my eyes to see these episodes.

Although after my eyes see them, and the series is over, my eyes wont have Doctor Who to watch anymore. They'll be sad. But there's always the DVDs that I have, and the ones that I am borrowing from my friend....



Rose!

And bets on that being Davros? I put a fiver in...

I know that, its the wait that i'm refering to. I miss it when its not on on a saturday...




And tonight's episode. WOW. Contender for best of the series so far? Definitely, in my opinion anyway...

It certainly has a legendary quote:

I'm a time traveller. I point and laugh at archeologists.

[ZariusTwo]

"Help, who turned the lights off?"

[Raph's Girl]

That is one BIIIIIG Library....I'd be in heaven in that thing....*looks around at the shadows*

So...lead Archaeologist is a future Companion only the doctor is just meeting her but she's already had adventures with him... aint time travel fun? *gets crosseyed*

"Spoilers!!!" :lol:

[Raph's Girl]

Anybody see the paintings of Rose and a wolf??? The little girl drew em and they were framed on the wall. Somebody at the AICN forum screen capped em. Hmmm

http://kelvington.com/GirlWolf.jpg

[Roseangelo]

Since when did Rose wear glasses? And that looks more like a dog to me...

[discordiatookie]

P'raps it be K9, and the kid is just a crap artist who can't tell the difference 'tween robots and dogs :D

And whilst it would be nice to think that's a picture of Rose, maybe its just a picture of the kid's mam, put in to fill the set background? Hard to tell, until we see the next few episodes, methinks...

[Raph's Girl]

*sets her Tardis key chain in front of her and snaps her fingers*...*waits for the doors to open*...Darn...didn't work....

OOoh.... River knew his real name!! So that must mean they were married. But darn it all...can't find that out for a while cuz it would be a spoiler. :P

Loved the plot twists and turns in this ep despite it being slightly predictable. I wish I had said it on this forum but I figured out last week that the description of the future doctor with the sad eyes was cuz he knew when she would die. But he loved her all the same.

[Buslady]

stinkers wont tell us who she is....


spoilers...


you know RTD was sooooooo messing with us with this "spoilers" thing...

[ZariusTwo]

From what I gather, The Doctor only romanced her across the galaxy and gave her his name knowing what she was going to do in the future.

[Roseangelo]

From what I gather, The Doctor only romanced her across the galaxy and gave her his name knowing what she was going to do in the future.

That's what I'm figuring, too.

The way she acts when she first gets there ("Shall we compare diaries? Where are we?") infers that they do not travel together, but merely hang out occasionally.

[ZariusTwo]

"Midnight" was awesome, and it's concept was revolutionary...an enemy that you dont learn anything about. At all.

By not revealing what the alien force was, what it's motivations were, even why it possesed Leslie Sharp's character, Sky, it COMPLETLY blinded The Doctor in almost every useful area...and with Sky copying every single passenger's words, and then just The Doctor's en route to sowing the seeds of discontent, was sublime.

I loved that The Doctor bonded with every member of the vessel in his usual manner, and there was a warm comradeship...but by the episode's conclusion, even the ones that were on his side amongst the bickering began to doubt his sincerity and whenever or not he was there to help them or the creature...and when he became possesed, they tried to murder HIM whilst the poor hostess figured things out and sacrificed herself to defeat the creature...and amongst all the shattered friendships, groveling, and guilt over murderous intentions...nobody knew their saviour's name.

Oh, and Rose appeared in a monitor behind The Doctor...he didnt see her...Donna however will be seeing a lot of her next week. UNIT will be returning, something is behind Donna's back...and is The Doctor dead?

Pictures have also leaked of

Davros and a Red Dalek

Why are having such a f*cking period over this? It's an official BBC photo, like it or leave it, I'm done with you chastising me over something that isnt a big deal.

1) It's a common courtesy.
2) In the case of pictures, maybe I'd like them in a higher resolution than something hosted on Photobucket. In the case of articles, maybe I'd like to read something more in depth than the two sentences you post. In the case of you mentioning that you saw a photo that you don't bother to share, maybe I'd like to actually see it.

Why even bother posting anything if you don't give a crap about actually having a conversation about it anyways?

[ZariusTwo]

I posted the image, without links, on another good forum I'm part of, and nobody got sand in the flange over it, there perfectly aware of what's in the finale, who's in the finale, and what to expect from the finale. Fans have uploaded behind-the-scenes photos and fancam video, look around if you want your source-fix, I'm not doing it for you

You're on my ignore list for now until you stop badgering me over this crap. I dont bend to anyone over matters that can and WILL affect people I am close to who WILL get in trouble if I supply sources to images released earlier than expected.

[discordiatookie]

No.. it be a reference to what Jewish people say alot... I have no clue what Dark Tower is...

the Dark Tower is pretty much Stephen King's life work, consisting of seven books which pretty much link and encompass almost every book he's done. I'm a rather massive fan. Oy is an animal in it called a billy-bumbler, and billy-bumblers can mimmick sounds, kind've like a parrot. (Although they're more dog-like in nature...) So giving what the comments were about and the word Oy, I automatically thought of Oy!

[ZariusTwo]

Sublime episode this week, a refreshing standalone story that tied into the next two episodes, complete with "wibbly-wobbly" with a twist on mortality. Piper was surpassed by Tate's acting and Donna's character seeming not to really need Rose to lead her around on a leashe...though knowing what happened to The Doctor, I dont blame Rose for being much icy...her reckless urge to be with him is why he subtley killed himself slaying The Racnos.

CBC isn't airing the fourth season yet. Which I found pretty annoying from them.

Well, meanwhile, I'm watching re-runs of the old show on BBC-K(ids). I love Tom Baker (fourth) and Peter Davidson (fifth), they were the best Doctors, according to me.

Yeah... Sci-fi is airing it but it's a couple weeks behind ATM. Im watching the old show on my local PBS station. They just started on the Peter Davidson stuff....so I have another doctor to get used to after spending the last year watching Tom Baker's eps. *L*

And incidentally I noticed something during this weeks ep of Doctor Who.When Donna and her family drove up to that er resort they were staying at for the holidays I imediatly recognized it from Sarah Jane Adventures where it was used as a retirement home. :lol:

[discordiatookie]

Wow, that episode was amazing. Just awesomeness all round, seeing what would've happened if Donna hadn't have been there. Loved it. Watched it with my friend Scott and his girlfriend and the lass i've been seeing, and whilst me and Scott got all the references, etc, the two girls were helpessly lost. :lol:

And since we are on old Doctors, my favourites (other than the Tennent) have to be Patrick Troughton and Peter Davidson.

[ZariusTwo]

"The Stolen Earth" has aired.



Hariot Jones...and Donna's hearing loud heartbeats...and mobile phones carry the sound of drums...and Torchwood's being attacked by Daleks...whose visions are certaingly NOT impaired...

Turns out Davros survived an incident we havent seen yet...he was with The Daleks during the first year of the Time War. Before his warship was destroyed, he was rescued by a time-traveling Dalek Cann (Wibbly-Wobbly, Timey-Whimey has even more consequences), who is now insane for breaking through the "Time-Lock" around the Time War event...meaning that history within the Time War has been changed, and can be changed more if neccersary....

Dalek Cann sees "eternal death for the most faithful companion", which means "faithful" K-9 is likely going to go through an infinite number of models...

Well, that was exceedingly stupid of you Rose...

Miss all the calls, get all jealous over people trying to do their job professionaly for The Doctor's sake, then you try a loving reunion in a fracking war zone...

No wonder we got this

Superb episode by the way.

Dalek Kaaaaaaaaahnnnnnnn has gone insane!! *rotflmao* A nutter of an Utrom er uh Dalek er uh brain thingy....

Harriet Jones: "Im Harriet Jones!"
