The "New" Doctor Who

[Captain_BluTac]

Never say never. RTD Dr. Who really has not been very successful, hence the BBC dropping it as a series and just going to specials.

Actually they are doing one year of specials then will have a full series in 2010 , the specials thing is only to facilitate David Tennants responsibilities.

[Captain_BluTac]

It's viewing figures have been declining with each series.

Wrong actually.

[Captain_BluTac]

no...a writer who knows what he's doing along with a head writer to plan the progression of the series is whats needed...

really if VOTD didn;t kill fandom i don;t know what will...

Did you know that had the highest ever viewing figures for any episode of DW

[Lord Valumart]

Did you know that had the highest ever viewing figures for any episode of DW

that doesn;t make it good...

[TheCorpulent1]

It does make it profitable enough for the studio to want to ape it, though.

[Whirlysplat]

Wrong actually.

It's actually not wrong.

[Captain_BluTac]

that doesn;t make it good...

I know, I was merely pointing out how many people watched that monstrosity.

[Whirlysplat]

and primeval and torchwoods viewing figures have been genraly the same...hmm...

Torchwoods figures declined throughout the first series. They have risen slightly with the second series again. Primeval is far better than either RTD Who or Torchwood.

[TheCorpulent1]

What were the figures like for the third Who series?

[Captain_BluTac]

It's actually not wrong.

Show me proof as opposed to conjecture.

[Lord Valumart]

I know, I was merely pointing out how many people watched that monstrosity.
we were all looking forward to a nice period christmas, then a nice space age christmas but no...trd has to go and think "hmm...if the people of EARTH aren't in danger then people at home won't care about them..." which is in fact wrong since earth will never be destroyed we've lost caring so the destrution of an alien planet would actually make us care more cause it could be destroyed, the dr could loose...he won't but he could...
Torchwoods figures declined throughout the first series. They have risen slightly with the second series again. Primeval is far better than either RTD Who or Torchwood.

:up:

but not far better...just that tiny bit better than makes you think "itv did something right for once...and it doesn;t have chris tarrent..."

[GhostPoet]

I like the current Doctor...he really shines when they put him in much more serious roles. I really wish they would focus more on that than trying to make him funny all the time. He can do intensity much better.

[Whirlysplat]

Show me proof as opposed to conjecture.

Google it, the series finale, whilst being the most watched that night was down on the previous series, which was down on the previous series!

Simple really. It also despite selling reasonably abroad, is not bought by major networks or shown at prime times.

[LexCorp]

Emmmm

Have we ever seen the Tardis cloak system working - by that I mean has it ever changed into something other than the blue box?

[TheCorpulent1]

I really wish his character were on Heroes longer. What a waste of Eccleston's talent. :(

[SpideyLad]

Emmmm

Nope, since the beginning of the show it's been the Police Box.

[LexCorp]

Nope, since the beginning of the show it's been the Police Box.

Why can't he fix it?

[TheCorpulent1]

His show doesn't have a big enough budget.

[SpideyLad]

Why can't he fix it?

The Doctor has said a few times that he likes the Police Box, even though he tried to fix it.

[LexCorp]

His show doesn't have a big enough budget.

:(

Sad answer

[chamber-music]

They wanted Eccleston to come back but he had a busy schedule making crap like Dark Rising. Hopefully his schedule will be free for season 3.

[LexCorp]

Hmm I guess it's whats on the inside that counts.

[TheCorpulent1]

Stupid scheduling. Claude was the best part of Heroes for me. He and Peter made a great duo.

[LexCorp]

Indeed, I am sure he will return to one of these roles.

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm probably gonna watch like 3 more episodes tonight anyway. Maybe I'll push it and try to get to #5. :)

there's only 6 eps in series 1...go on....watch them all...

[TheCorpulent1]

In due time. I'm at work right now, so I have to wait another couple of hours to even start.

[Whirlysplat]

yes...yes...it was horrible for all...

It wasn't that bad when Perry was around. I admit to masturbating about her in my youth.

[LexCorp]

Hmmm I would have liked to see that.

[04nbod]

to be honest i don't blame you. Cleavage Cam!

[LexCorp]

Hmmm anygirls do it over the DR? if so which one?

[Lord Valumart]

Hmmm anygirls do it over the DR? if so which one?

thats just a horrible question to ask....

[LexCorp]

thats just a horrible question to ask....

First thing on my mind

[TheCorpulent1]

Haha, so why'd you ask it?

[LexCorp]

Haha, so why'd you ask it?

I guess there is just a lot of guy talk about woman but do the woman feel that the show does justice to the men? I think David T looks a lot less manly than other Docs...

[redmarvel]

I was just wondering, which doctor got the shortest amount of screen time?

[TheCorpulent1]

Probably Eccleston. Isn't he the only one-series Doctor?

[Lord Valumart]

I was just wondering, which doctor got the shortest amount of screen time?

paul mcgann, 8th, about 78 minutes...

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh yeah, I forgot about him. Those were a bad, bad 78 minutes, though. :(

[Lord Valumart]

Oh yeah, I forgot about him. Those were a bad, bad 78 minutes, though. :(

the movie may have sucked but mcgann and the tardis were fantastic, and some lucky bastard stole his tardis:csad:

[redmarvel]

It's sad how some T.V. serieses don't translate well into movies (and vice versa).

[Lord Valumart]

It's sad how some T.V. serieses don't translate well into movies (and vice versa).

mcgann was in a tv movie that was the pilot for an american continuation of the series....which failed...

the other movies from the 60's did fine:up:

[TheCorpulent1]

So, really, the message there is Americans suck, not the Doctor Who TV movie. :)

[Noir]

Some American's don't suck, they blow. :up:

[Lord Valumart]

So, really, the message there is Americans suck, not the Doctor Who TV movie. :)

has the message ever been different?

[Manic]

Some American's don't suck, they blow. :up:
But we do both like pros. :cwink:


Wait, did I just call myself a whore? :huh:

[Noir]

All Americans are whores. :up:

except in my case, I'm a Whoir.

[Captain_BluTac]

Lame, lame joke Noir.

[Wall-weasle]

the other movies from the 60's did fine:up:


Since everyone seems to consider McGann as the eighth doctor (including myself to some degree), I have a question.
RTD's new series of Doctor Who seems to avoid all the controversial aspects of the DW movie. And since it was an attempt for an American continuation of DW, do you think that he could actually be the official eighth doctor? The new series just doesn't seem to refer back to the movie at all...

[Dope Nose]

Since everyone seems to consider McGann as the eighth doctor (including myself to some degree)

care to explain?

The new series just doesn't seem to refer back to the movie at all...

sure it does. take a look at John Smith's A Journal of Impossible Things in the episode Human Nature.

[Wall-weasle]

care to explain?

Which part? The part where I said including myself to some degree? I say to some degree because I'm sometimes not fully convinced that McGann is the official eighth doctor because of how the stories in the new series are written (it's a bit hard for me to explain what I mean by this).



sure it does. take a look at John Smith's A Journal of Impossible Things in the episode Human Nature.

Okay. I haven't seen that episode in quite a while (it's a good story, just not one of my favourites). Is there any other reference to the eighth doctor in the new series?

[Captain_BluTac]

Owen's Dead!

[Dope Nose]

thanks for the spoiler ass.

[Captain_BluTac]

thanks for the spoiler ass.

it's a British show the episode has aired so it's not a spoiler, tough luck if your country doesn't get it for another 2 weeks.

[Manic]

I'm with BluTac. The episode has aired, and it's Who related. Not really a spoiler. Once an episode airs, all things that happens within it can be discussed. I'm certainly not going to ask any of the Brits to keep their mouths shut for two weeks. God knows I didn't ask them to do it for months on end during season/series 3 of Who.

[ms13]

Owen's Dead!
Crap, you just ruined my night.:mad:
Thanks!

[Captain_BluTac]

Crap, you just ruined my night.:mad:
Thanks!

Don't be so over dramatic, you know if you come into any TV thread their will be no end of spoilers, no one complains when you guys talk about shows you get before us so don't be so whiny.

[LexCorp]

Is he really dead Tac? Oh that would make my day.

[Noir]

hooooray.
**** Owen :up:

Torchwood is certainly Who related but that spoiler isn't. would you think it acceptable if I were to go into the Supergirl thread and post a large spoiler from the issue of Action Comics released that day?

[Captain_BluTac]

Dope Nose, it's not a huge spoiler, the actor said a couple of weeks ago that he wont be back for series 3, so it was more a case of revealing when it happened so dont over react so much.

[Dope Nose]

you're assuming that everyone read/heard that quote. it's news to me.

[Captain_BluTac]

Not my problem, people will always continue to talk about shows when they first air in their country if you country happens to be a couple of weeks behind doesn't mean anyone else should alter what they say.

[Dope Nose]

but they should make sure that they're discussing the show in the proper thread.

[Captain_BluTac]

You don't seem to get it

1. all Doctor Who related things including shows are discussed here
2. The characters exist in DW so it is completely relevant.

[Dope Nose]

oh I get it. I just think you're wrong. to expand on my earlier argument by your logic users on these boards should be allowed to post spoilers from various comic properties regardless of what thread they're in, as long as the thread relates to a character existing in the same fictional universe.

[Captain_BluTac]

It's actually very different and no weirdo would complain if someone posted about the death of a character from a comic, so take your unfounded argument elsewhere.

[Manic]

Torchwood is certainly Who related but that spoiler isn't. would you think it acceptable if I were to go into the Supergirl thread and post a large spoiler from the issue of Action Comics released that day?
I don't often get upset by spoilers. Not for anything Superman related, and especially not for spoilers for RTD's carwreck known as Torchwood.

[Dope Nose]

It's actually very different and no weirdo would complain if someone posted about the death of a character from a comic, so take your unfounded argument elsewhere.

please, explain how it's different. also, no one would complain about a comic character's death being spoiled? are you serious?

[Captain_BluTac]

No one would complain about people talking about it.

[Morg]

Dope Nose, leave the name calling out of the thread

[LexCorp]

I love spoilers....nothing it a suprise anymore.

[Mister Sinister]

Owen's Dead?

A bit less spoilerific.

[LexCorp]

Dance the dance of joy....

[Bastila]

So is Own dead ? please say so :D

[LexCorp]

This is great, he is so hated it spills into a DR WHO thread.

[TheCorpulent1]

So is Own dead ? please say so :D
He totally is. :up:

As of THIS TIME, he is a dead man, a late man, he ceases to be

But this is SciFi.

Well they brought back one dead member before

[Bastila]

So great that everyone is like yeah!!! about it lol

Nope he wont come back it can't happen

Will we get someone new lets hope so :D

[Captain_BluTac]

there is this old bloke joining the cast I assume he will be there medic.

[TheCorpulent1]

Damn. I assumed it would be temporary. I wonder if there's some sort of behind-the-scenes drama about why the actor who plays Owen got the boot, if that's the case.

[IronLion]

unit has been mentioned in the last few eps of the last series and currently being mentioned in torchwood, do you think they will play a mjor part in the new series? one of the reasons i think it wil be because when martha explains how she got the job at unit, in tw, she mentions she was highly recommeded, hinting that the dr has been in touch with them which suggests that there is interaction between them, but as of yet they have noot been seen, as far as im aware.

[Whirlysplat]

It's amazing how much Torchwood has improved this series, i've only seen 2 this season, but, both were better than all of last seasons. Don't get me wrong, I still feel it's highly flawed, however, it's better than it was. The spin off the BBC should really do is based on the time agents themselves. No homosexuality, in fact let's not have much sex, it really isn't needed, but we could have an adult Dr. Who. With the time agents trying to fill the gap left by the Timelords destruction. It could be great!
The BBC have actually (I never thought i'd say this) produced some good adult Sci Fi recently, in Jekyll and Life on Mars. Sadly with the latter, it's popularity has turned it into a cash cow and it has spawned an allegedly poor spin off. I don't actually know first hand as both episodes of Ashes to Ashes are, thus far, unwatched and on my hard drive!

[TheCorpulent1]

There's just one problem with that: words like "adult," "mature," and "sophisticated" all equate to "more sex of all kinds" to RTD. :o

[Whirlysplat]

There's just one problem with that: words like "adult," "mature," and "sophisticated" all equate to "more sex of all kinds" to RTD. :o

Yes, he is every bad stereotype about a certain kind of homoxexual.

[TheCorpulent1]

I just don't understand why he feels the need to apply Jack's "revolving door" style of sexuality to everybody. He created Jack and described him as "pansexual," so that's fine for him. But how does it apply to the normal, 20th-century people with absolutely no comment? Are bisexuals literally the only people he knows in real life? :huh:

I can't stand Jack. Wouldn't a time agent more like Ivor Annipadda be cool!

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't know who that is. :(

[Whirlysplat]

I don't know who that is. :(

Timewalker...... The Eternal Warior and Armstrong (of Archer and Armstrongs) little brother. A Valiant comics character, who was immortal and jumped about through time! Very cool character.

[TheCorpulent1]

Hmm, interesting. Can't be too bad if he was created by Barry Windsor-Smith. :up:

[Whirlysplat]

I think the groups, odd sexuality, is supposed to represent the characters detachment from reality and how Torchwood takes over their life to the extent they can't have a normal human relationship.

[Whirlysplat]

I think the groups, odd sexuality, is supposed to represent the characters detachment from reality and how Torchwood takes over their life to the extent they can't have a normal human relationship.

I don't!

I think it just reflects the fact that RTD is a bit detached from reality.

It looked like those could simply be someone's own personal costume they made on their own time. Unless they had cast members from DW hanging around the costume, it's a little too unrealistic to believe (though I wouldn't doubt the possibility of Davros coming back; he's not my favourite either).

That ending was most likely a homage to the Flash Gordon movie from years ago cus they did it to.

[Lord Valumart]

it's cause RTD steals everything...the series 1 and 2 endings were in the comics from years ago...

Speaking of Flash Gordon, Brian Blessed needs to turn up in the New Doctor Who. Blessed is made of awesome. He was the greatest over acting actor ever until bruce campbell came along.

[Captain_BluTac]

Well "Eviol Owen" isn't really Owen they just use his body, he is the "weevil king".

[TheCorpulent1]

Hahaha, I love it. I hope they bury him at the end of the episode and something else desecrates his corpse later on. :up:

[Captain_BluTac]

Corp1 you are one sick bastard.




And that damn avatar is growing on me.

[TheCorpulent1]

No one resists the squirrels for long. :)

[Captain_BluTac]

Merlin's lady squirrel was better though.

[TheCorpulent1]

Gray is a prettier color, but the younger squirrel was funnier.

[Captain_BluTac]

Damn straight!

[TheCorpulent1]

If I were Merlin, I would've totally let that gray squirrel have her way with me.

[Captain_BluTac]

I personally preferred Mad Madame Mimm to Merlin though, but I really wanted those 2 to end up with the squirrels, the bird bit was irritating.

[TheCorpulent1]

Merlin was so much better than Mimm. :o

[Captain_BluTac]

He was not!:o

[TheCorpulent1]

Um, yeah. He had Hawaiian shirts and he could make everything dance. Merlin wins. :o

[Captain_BluTac]

She was a freaking puple dragon Madame Mimm wins.

[TheCorpulent1]

Dragons are lame. She was a fat dragon who couldn't even outwit a bacteria.

[Captain_BluTac]

Madame Mimm was better, end.

[TheCorpulent1]

Nope, sorry.

Anyway, Dr. Who? He's pretty cool, huh?

[Captain_BluTac]

Yep his box is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside ;)

[TheCorpulent1]

Why did you have to make that sound dirty? :(

[Captain_BluTac]

I'm British it's what I do.

[TheCorpulent1]

Cheeky Brits. :cmad:

[Captain_BluTac]

Prudish Americans. :o

[TheCorpulent1]

It's the evangelicals around here, man. :(

[Captain_BluTac]

I hate Baby Bible Bashers.

[Dr Lee]

Saw Jumper today (Good movie BTW) but before it they showed this Dr Who trailer that started with.... Wots her face... 'am i bovvered' ... man why can't i think of her name?

Anyway she was talking to Bernard Cribbins and telling him about the Dr. It showed a load of clips including one of a giant Wasp and had shots of a Crying Dr, Mrs' Bovvered', a slimed Martha Jones and... strangely Billie Piper.....

Has this been talked about in here already?

[BlackLantern]

Prudish Americans. :o

We are not prudish....we like to **** our ***** and touch the ****** with our **** and do it like ******** style

[BlackLantern]

start your post off with some comedy.....I like that

[Dr Lee]

I enjoyed it, if you didn't then you didn't. Personal opinion

[Captain_BluTac]

We are not prudish....we like to lick our mothers and touch the dog with our toes and do it like a chimp

You cant swear on TV or show anything even mildly explicit, you barely drink, you barely swear and you easily take offense, sure you're not prudish.

:whatever:

[Whirlysplat]

The have "Showtime". That goes waaaay beyond any U.K. network.

[BlackLantern]

:whatever:

Thats broadcast TV...we are capitalists...if you want your smut you have to pay for it...california is the HQ of the porn industry (which makes more money than most countries GDP)

[Captain_BluTac]

The have "Showtime". That goes waaaay beyond any U.K. network.

In violence, but on sex and swearing they are far behind Channel 4 you only have to compare the 2 versions of Queer As Folk to see that.

[BlackLantern]

the L word...which is showtimes current crown jewel has rather intresting content...Dexter is rather graphic as well

[Captain_BluTac]

the L word...which is showtimes current crown jewel has rather intresting content

I have seen it it's only Certificate 15 and really not that graphic.

[BlackLantern]

....yes some of us are repressed but we donkey punch when we have to....

[Whirlysplat]

Dexter is.... At least a 15, some of the themes from both series go way beyond our "adult" shows. It's also better written than any U.K. show. I wonder how much will be "cut" for ITV. Ironic pun intended!

[Dr Lee]

anyway... was the trailer i spoke about old as hell? and has anyone got any suggestions on how they'll be getting Rose back from the unreacheable dimension?

[Captain_BluTac]

It's about 3 weeks old.

[Captain_BluTac]

Dexter is.... At least a 15 aome of the themes from both series go way beyond our "adult" shows. It's also better written than any U.K. show. I wonder how much will be "cut" for ITV. Ironic pun intended!

as it's post watershed the only thing they would cut would be swearing and also I don't agree on you writing comment, it's good, but it's hardly brilliant.

Who news.

Louise Jameson Interview - 'Dr Who'

Sunday, February 17 2008, 08:00 GMT
By Ben Rawson-Jones (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/cult/a89443/louise-jameson-interview-dr-who.html#), Cult Editor
http://images.digitalspy.co.uk/08/07/160x120_Leela-Doctor-Who.jpg
In 1977 Louise Jameson donned a distinctly eye-opening leather outfit to star alongside Tom Baker's fourth incarnation of The Doctor, playing the savage warrior Leela. Over two seasons she flung her knife and poisoned thorns at an impressive array of monsters, such as the dreaded 'Robots of Death', giant rats, killer toy Mr Sin and the potato-headed Sontarans. She's now back reprising her role as Leela in a range of audio plays from Big Finish, so Cult Spy spoke exclusively to the legendary companion at the launch of the new online download service.

How hard did you find it stepping back into Leela's leather boots?
"I found it really, really easy and I think it's absolutely to do with her speech because she never condenses any words. She's never colloquial. Since I hit that rhythm, I was back in the saddle really."

Has Leela changed much since she last appeared on Doctor Who?
"I think the writers have acknowledged that I'm that bit older and have given her more wisdom. Also, because it's on audio she's been able to take control of the situation. She's more separated from The Doctor and much more of a driving force."

Do the audio dramas pick up where Leela was left in the television series, on the planet Gallifrey?
"They're in between stories... I've teamed up with Lalla Ward (Romana) to become her bodyguard. We get on extremely well."

Do you swap anecdotes about Tom Baker?
"When asked, Lalla always says 'he's the sweetest man I've been divorced from', which is just brilliant!"

http://images.digitalspy.co.uk/08/07/160x120_leela_faceevil.jpg
Do you hope he might be persuaded to perform in any Big Finish audio dramas one day?
"I think it would be marvellous. He was in [Doctor Who] longer than anybody. He has a very distinctive and beautiful voice, so sure. He has a huge fanbase."

What challenges do recording the audio dramas have, as opposed to the television series?
"To be able to get very concentrated, very quickly is the main thing. Especially for a long passage, a monologue. With the risk of sounding like my teachers, it's all about the preparation. If you put the homework in you can go anywhere. Knowing your motivation, your objectives."

Do you think the skimpy leather leotard you wore in the show was at all exploitative?
"In retrospect I suppose it was, but I wasn't expecting it. Now it might be very different. I was going into a big show and it was a shock - all this male attention afterwards. Like it or loathe it, it really gave my career a boost."

There's a family drama on ITV called Primeval in which the female lead stripped off to her underwear every time she was in her flat because her pet lizard needs a hot climate. Shades of Leela in terms of keeping the dads happy?
"Haha! Brilliant! At least Leela had more of an excuse to wear that costume!"

[B]Do you find it strange that K-9 is now associated with Sarah Jane Smith instead of his original owner Leela?
"I have to confess to being a little bit jealous that Liz Sladen is back, but being furious that she ended up with K-9. It's my dog! But I can see why they've done it, as [Sarah Jane] always comes up number one in all the polls - with Leela a close second!"

Did you think when K-9 first trundled on set that he would still be around decades later?
"I had no idea I would still be involved. It's been 30 years. I absolutely had no idea and I wished I'd stayed on a bit more."

http://images.digitalspy.co.uk/08/07/160x120_doctor_who_leela_catalyst.jpg
Did you have the chance to stay on longer?
"I had the chance to go back into it to do the takeover, Peter's takeover."

The Tom Baker to Peter Davison regeneration scene?
"Yes, but they wanted me back for a whole series. Me, in my arrogance, only wanted to come back for the one story."

Do you regret that?
"Yeah, I do... maybe I wouldn't have been able to do Tenko then."

[B]Did they want you back to ease the transition?
"Yes, because it's such a loyal fandom that they wanted to keep them satisfied. I just said that I didn't want to do a whole series. Shame on me."

Well, it helped you avoid being typecast as a savage warrior...
"Haha. For the rest of my career. Now there's a thought!"

Do you follow the new series much?
"I liked the recent Children In Need one [Time Crash]... I caught it almost by accident. I just loved the line 'You were my Doctor'. It's something the fans say all the time - 'You were my companion.' It's very touching."

You could say to K-9 - you were my dog!
"Yeah, you were my dog and then you buggered off!"

In the current incarnation of Doctor Who, many elements from the classic series have been brought back. Would you be keen on a return for Leela?
"I'd go back, yeah. I wish they would ask. I really would love to go back... but I'm glad that I had a hand in the foundations, as it were."

Louise Jameson is currently reprising her role as Leela in a range of spin-off Doctor Who audio dramas from Big Finish, which can be downloaded from www.bigfinish.com

[LexCorp]

I am ignorant to the old WHO stories but this sounds pleasent.

[04nbod]

tom Baker's regeneration would have been a party! tegan, nyssa, adric AND Leela!

[LexCorp]

I take he had a lot of companions

[TheCorpulent1]

A lot of hot female companions, by the sound of it.

[LexCorp]

Baker would he not! Bravo

[chamber-music]

They should have some old companions be members of the Unit like Martha and show up in a couple of episodes.

[LexCorp]

They should have some old companions be members of the Unit like Martha and show up in a couple of episodes.

It would make sense and it would give me a reason to care about the older series.

[TheCorpulent1]

LV's gonna flame you for years now. :)

[wobbly]

I take he had a lot of companions

Tom Baker was in the role the longest (add Sarah Jane & Romana to the aforementioned).

[LexCorp]

Tom Baker was in the role the longest (add Sarah Jane & Romana to the aforementioned).

Sssss-lut!

[TheCorpulent1]

2 Romanas, in fact.

[LexCorp]

I had an interview at a salon on Saturday and this nerd friend was a model for me.....I asked him what he wanted from his haircut and he was open to suggestions......

He said anything really. So I gave him the DR WHO - David Tennant cut. He loved it!

It was a step up from his front fringe bowl cut. lol

[TheCorpulent1]

That dude's gonna need a lot of gel for the next month or so. :)

[LexCorp]

That dude's gonna need a lot of gel for the next month or so. :)

I used a very nice wax :)

[Tony Ingram]

Tom Baker was in the role the longest (add Sarah Jane & Romana to the aforementioned).You forgot Harry.

[Lord Valumart]

It would make sense and it would give me a reason to care about the older series.

classic series is one hell of a lot ****ing better than the new series:cmad: :cmad:

[Whirlysplat]

classic series is one hell of a lot ****ing better than the new series:cmad: :cmad:

Yes it is, with the exception of some of Chris Ecclestons episodes.

[04nbod]

I take he had a lot of companions

well he picked up adric first just before romana II left during 'Warriors Gate'
He then went on to pick up Nyssa during The keeper of Traken (one of his very last stories)
Then Tegan came aboard (although i can't remember how)
They were all set up for the fifth doctor rather than the fourth. So by the time he regenerated he had these three at his side. It is generally considered that there were too many at one time. So to add Leela as well seems a bit mad especially for the long term.

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/42714000/jpg/_42714343_nyssaadri400.jpg

overall Tom Baker had those three as companions, both romanas, sarah jane, harry Sullivan and K9

[Lord Valumart]

tegan was sort of stolen and the 5th dr kept trying to get her home then she was like "sod it, this is fun"...then she was left behind in timeflight and rejoined next series in arc of infinity...

[04nbod]

tegan was sort of stolen and the 5th dr kept trying to get her home then she was like "sod it, this is fun"...then she was left behind in timeflight and rejoined next series in arc of infinity...

i know that but i can't remember which episode she was stolen in. I can't think when the doctor was at heathrow between Traken and Logopolis

[LexCorp]

Thanks 04nBod

[SpideyLad]

i know that but i can't remember which episode she was stolen in. I can't think when the doctor was at heathrow between Traken and Logopolis

It was Logopolis.

[04nbod]

It was Logopolis.

i must have slept through that part then!

[04nbod]

Freema has been interviewed on digitalspy

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/cult/a89646/freema-agyeman.html

the door is left ajar but she is off. So martha will not be the 'specials' companion. We know donna won't be so we are left with jack, sarah jane and rose or someone new of course

[Tony Ingram]

i know that but i can't remember which episode she was stolen in. I can't think when the doctor was at heathrow between Traken and Logopolis
He never was at Heathrow. Her car broke down on the Barnet bypass and she wandered into the TARDIS thinking it was a phone box in Logopolis part 1.

[LexCorp]

Speaking of wandering into the Tardis - did anyone see the Graham Norton show where they had set up a Tardis and then rang the phone? The unsuspecting guy got in it and was kept on the phone while a forklift truck picked it up and made the Tardis sound lol.

Very funny.

[TheCorpulent1]

Someone new I hope. And someone useful. I wish the Doctor would hook up with an SAS person or a cop or a full-fledged doctor or something. Someone who can actually handle themselves in situations without it being totally unbelievable.

[Whirlysplat]

He would do what he did with Leela and negate the skills of any warrior. :( Pascifists are annoying.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, seriously. Is there any real reason why we need to see the Doctor and whichever companion is with him constantly running from everything until the Doctor suddenly has a bright idea?

[Whirlysplat]

Yeah, seriously. Is there any real reason why we need to see the Doctor and whichever companion is with him constantly running from everything until the Doctor suddenly has a bright idea?

Because he is a pascifist, who, has killed numerous aliens.......

[TheCorpulent1]

Tennant's Doctor certainly didn't seem pacifistic in the Christmas special from a couple years ago with the Raknos.

[Whirlysplat]

Tennant's Doctor certainly didn't seem pacifistic in the Christmas special from a couple years ago with the Raknos.

Tennants Dr.is awful. What? What? Would I love to slap him! Yes.... I would.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I miss Eccleston's Doctor a lot lately. It doesn't help that his companions usually suck, too.

[Whirlysplat]

Yeah, I miss Eccleston's Doctor a lot lately. It doesn't help that his companions usually suck, too.

I agree Eccleston was the man.

[Obsidian]

Tennant's Doctor certainly didn't seem pacifistic in the Christmas special from a couple years ago with the Raknos.

I believe the Doctor said it best himself in "The Christmas Invasion":

"No second chances. I'm that sort of a man."

[Whirlysplat]

I believe the Doctor said it best himself in "The Christmas Invasion":

"No second chances. I'm that sort of a man."

And yet, he constantly gives people second chances. Including the Master and the Daleks.

[Obsidian]

And yet, he constantly gives people second chances. Including the Master and the Daleks.

The Master I can understand since they were the last two Timelords. I don't remember the Doctor giving the Daleks another chance, unless you're talking about when they were in Manhattan and the new species of humans/Daleks/Timelords was involved.

[Whirlysplat]

The Master I can understand since they were the last two Timelords. I don't remember the Doctor giving the Daleks another chance, unless you're talking about when they were in Manhattan and the new species of humans/Daleks/Timelords was involved. It's in Manhattan after the hybrid is dead. He offers a second chance to the remaining Dalek.

[Obsidian]

It's in Manhattan after the hybrid is dead. He offers a second chance to the remaining Dalek.

Well it is the last Dalek. The Doctor may be heartless at times but he's not going to wipe out an entire species like he did during the Time War.

[TheCorpulent1]

"No follow-through on my threats. That's the kind of man I am."

Better? :)

[Whirlysplat]

"No follow-through on my threats. That's the kind of man I am."

Better? :)

Yes, much!

[Tony Ingram]

Well it is the last Dalek. The Doctor may be heartless at times but he's not going to wipe out an entire species like he did during the Time War.He attempted to wipe out the whole Dalek species the last time they appeared in the original series, and also wiped out at least one other entire species in the mid 80s (the Vervoids). There is something a little skewed about the latest Doctor's personality. He seems to talk a lot about how powerful he is, then back off from doing anything much.

[chamber-music]

Yeah, I miss Eccleston's Doctor a lot lately. It doesn't help that his companions usually suck, too.

I miss Ecclestons nothern swagger

[LexCorp]

Yeah, seriously. Is there any real reason why we need to see the Doctor and whichever companion is with him constantly running from everything until the Doctor suddenly has a bright idea?

How do you think he stays so skinny.

[wobbly]

If there's one thing I do not like about the new Doctor's it's this "talking tough" the writers sometimes have them do, going off into a 'don't mess with me cos' I'm so bad@ss' routine.
Talk about idle threats, when most of the time all the Doctor has on him is a glorified screwdriver.

[SpideyLad]

A glorified screwdriver, and words. Don't forget those. After all, he did bring down all Harriet Jones with only 6 words.
