The "New" Doctor Who

[TheCorpulent1]

He was certainly the most fun Master I've ever seen. No disrespect meant to Anthony Ainley or Roger Delgado, but toning down the "arch-ness" of the Master helped Simm's portrayal of the character a lot.

[black_dust]

Wow Donna coming back after they said she couldnt or her head would explode..... didnt see that coming (Sarcastic)

And must be something to do with that woman putting her finger in the masters ring..... hahahhahahaha

You say that as if there were some sort of mad science Time Lady who knows the Doctor and has worked with the Master...

[The Englishman]

I was impressed with John Simm and hope to see him in more stuff
Check out Life on Mars......

Naw... couldn't be. :cwink:

Rose will return...not soon...but eventually

It's a pretty good deal for Tennant, since he can quit playing the Doctor when he feels like it, but later if he wants to return, there can always be a "clone-Doctor & Rose" spin-off series.

And yes, that would be EXTREMELY lame. :cmad:

So you can steal the TARDIS?

If you do, be sure to come pick me up.

Rose will return...not soon...but eventually

No....

Moffat has said he hates her, and Billie is apparently scared of going out in the street cause of playing the role.

This kinda screams no to me.

Why? You'd think playing the prostitute would cause more problems among fans than Rose.

Meet Sarah Jane's new sidekick

http://images.digitalspy.co.uk/08/36/160x120_sja_rani.jpg
Doctor Who may be off air until Christmas, but The Sarah Jane Adventures will be back in short order to help tide us over. The second series, airing on BBC One from later this month, promises to offer more action, more monsters and at least one familiar face from Doctor Who history. Sarah Jane's team is also changing, as Maria Jackson departs and feisty new girl Rani Chandra arrives. Tube Talk grabbed a quick chat with young actress Anjli Mohindra to find out more about the new arrival.

How have you found working on Sarah Jane?
"It's been really great. Sometimes when you come into a show, everybody has already formed a little tight group and you feel a bit intimidated, but not at all. Everyone's been really welcoming."

When does your character join the group?
"Fairly near the start, after bidding farewell to [Maria]. I have a bit of a nosey into the lives of the world-saving team and plot my way in!"

What's Rani like?
"I'd say she's pretty keen. She shadows Sarah Jane a lot. If there's a moment where she doesn't quite know how to deal with the situation - whether to be quiet, scared or worried - she will always watch Sarah Jane. If Sarah Jane goes in being really bolshy, you'll see Rani up there a few seconds later as well. She's also a girl between two guys at times, which is nice!"

How does Sarah Jane feel about having a new apprentice?
"It does take some getting used to for Sarah Jane, because at first she's not that interested in taking on another child. But she does, and it turns out to be a nice relationship."

Are there any similarities between Rani and Maria?
"I'm not here to play the next Maria Jackson. It's a completely different character, which is lovely. The only similarity that she has is that she's a girl and she lives in the same house. In personality terms, I don't think they're that similar. They're both quite strong-willed, though."

Did you watch the first series?
"Yes. It was a lot younger than my age range - I'm eighteen - but I saw it a few times. Obviously I got more into it after I'd found out I had the audition! I thought it was great because normally children's TV is patronising, but not with this. There's no morals at the end of every story. It's completely the same as Doctor Who. Adults can watch it as well, which is great."

Even more so, with Doctor Who not being on the air as much next year.
"I just finished sixth form and more of my teachers were excited [about my new job] than the pupils! A lot of the teachers don't actually have kids that are young enough to justify them watching it. So I think adults are already interested in it and hopefully that's going to go up this series."

Series two of The Sarah Jane Adventures airs on BBC One and the CBBC Channel from later this month.

Why? You'd think playing the prostitute would cause more problems among fans than Rose.

Cause school kids keep going up to her, and pestering her...

Some kids actually think she's Rose.:wow:

[Manic]

"Let's open up a major can of worms!"
"How?"
"By naming a human character in a Doctor Who spin-off 'Rani.'"

[Captain_BluTac]

Rani actually is a fairly common name to be fair.

[Manic]

I know, but it's not the first name I'd give to someone in a Doctor Who spin-off when all the Time Lords are dead. A lot of fans are expecting one or two more Time Lords to pop up after the Master. You don't name a character Rani for the same reason you don't name a character Val, Roma, Mr. Monk, or Razz.

[The Squirrel]

Well, maybe she is the Rani. :dry:

She's terrified to walk the streets these days...

OK, I know him. I was thinking Brig = prison.

[Bastila]

I'm glad to here that Donn and the Master will be back :D

[JustABill]

Where's the basis for this Moffat hates Rose thing? I mean I know he said that she was a needy ex or something like that, but that doesn't say ''I hate her." He just said she wouldn't be returning in the fifth series.

[jabbatheridge]

Personally I hope Rose's story is done now. I liked Rose but her latest three episode appearance really added nothing to the overall story and it would've been better to have kept the Doomsday ending IMHO. I'm sure she'll come back sooner or later but hopefully in like ten years or something when everyone has more or less forgotten about her and her return would be surprising and exciting.

Because of how poorly Rose's return was handled I'm hoping they don't bring Donna back in one of the specials. I liked Donna and felt that the memory wipe ending was tragic stuff and a brilliant and unexpected way to end her character's time with the Doctor. What would going back on that achieve if it's only for one episode? If Catherine was coming back for one or two series fair enough, but I can't see the point in undoing a major plot development for one episode.

John Simm's return as the Master on the other hand would be fine with me, though I'm not sure how they'll go about it.

[SpideyLad]

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that he said he hates her.

Anyhow, having just read the comic in DWM about Donna, I have to say, best companion ever. :up:

[Gilpesh]

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that he said he hates her.

He made that comment after series 2 about how he loved that the Doctor dumped his needy girlfriend by leaving her in an alternate dimension.

So, there's a good statement of hating her. :hehe:

[SpideyLad]

I hope she never ever ever ever comes back....Ever....

[Gilpesh]

I hope she never ever ever ever comes back....Ever....

I liked her in series 1... thought she was alright in series 2... But I really don't want to see her again.

[Lord Valumart]

John Simm's return as the Master on the other hand would be fine with me, though I'm not sure how they'll go about it.

it's dr who...the master died atleast 7 times....

and the simm that died probably wasn't the real master anyhow...

[ttotheusher]

and the simm that died probably wasn't the real master anyhow...

Explain for the unitiated.

[Lord Valumart]

Explain for the unitiated.

it's only a theory but it's that the master did some cloning, mind swaps or stuff like the joker did in the beyond movie...either way he's alive and kicking...probably...

Zeta-Jones To Star In Dr Who?

12 September 2008 9:03 AM, PDT
http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTg4Nzk2NTM0N15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMDM5NTYyMQ@@._ V1._SY90_.jpg Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001876/) has been tipped to star in a movie version of cult sci-fi series Doctor Who (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436992/) - by the man credited with reviving the show.
Writer Russell T Davies (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0203961/) brought the British programme back to TV screens in 2005 after a nine-year absence.
BBC bosses were recently rumoured to be planning a big screen version of the hit show.
And Davies insists that Zeta-Jones would be perfect for the role as the Timelord's assistant.
He says, "Being from Wales myself, I'd love to have Catherine Zeta-Jones (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001876/) as a companion for the Doctor."
The writer also insists that the series' current lead actor David Tennant (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0855039/) would be the first choice for a Doctor Who (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436992/) movie.
He adds, "To have anyone else would be inconceivable."
Davies is due to end his tenure on the show in 2009.

Woah!

[Captain_BluTac]

I call bull****. We've heard rumors that RTD wants practically every actor on Earth to be the 11th Doctor. I'm talking James Nesbitt, John Simm, Jason Statham, and CCH Pounder.

[TheCorpulent1]

Holy s***, CCH Pounder as Doctor Who would be brilliant.

[JustABill]

Holy s***, CCH Pounder as Doctor Who would be brilliant.
Actually, Corp is right that would be an amazing actress for the first Female Doctor. If not CCH Pounder should totally be a new version of Romana or even a new Time Lord invented just for her. Just get her on Doctor Who.

[Kahoot]

I call bull****. We've heard rumors that RTD wants practically every actor on Earth to be the 11th Doctor. I'm talking James Nesbitt, John Simm, Jason Statham, and CCH Pounder.

i've not heard the statham one and i have no idea who cch pounder is:huh:

[GhostPoet]

So...a while ago I kept hearing about them doing a multiple doctor episode or movie...whatever became of that?

[Lord Valumart]

mcgann's been rumoured to be in one of the specials but i've not really been keeping up with the news on that one...

[Kahoot]

mcgann's been rumoured to be in one of the specials but i've not really been keeping up with the news on that one...
That would be cool but I can't see it happening. McGann's Doctor hasn't been seen long enough to have a fully developed character.

[Lord Valumart]

That would be cool but I can't see it happening. McGann's Doctor hasn't been seen long enough to have a fully developed character.

depends...comics, books, audios...

if you take the character from those then you've got them set...if not...the characters already got a start just add to it...

[Kahoot]

But the Cannon of those are all questionable.

[Lord Valumart]

yes it is but lets be honest, for years they were the only dr who any one got so to some they're more canon than the new series

[Kahoot]

Didn't one of the Doctors run around with a Cyberman as a companion in the comic?

[Lord Valumart]

yeh, that was mcgann...and it was only for a while...

rtd also stole most of his stuff from the comics....

[Kahoot]

I can't really take a Cyberman companion as cannon...

[Lord Valumart]

if you knew the back story you'd accept it all perfectly fine...

the comics really are wonderful things you know...

[Kahoot]

Come on then, fill me in with the back story...

[The Englishman]

So David Morrisey is playing a future incarnation of The Doctor then??...

I know it's The Sun but yestadays said that RTD has confirmed that Morrissey is playing a future version of the Doctor, my Sky internet homepage also backs this up....

[Lord Valumart]

...ok thats just wrong on so many levels...

I know it's The Sun but yestadays said that RTD has confirmed that Morrissey is playing a future version of the Doctor, my Sky internet homepage also backs this up....

thats just stupid...and i know rtd is known for doing stupid things but writing a future dr when you're leaving the show to someone else is pretty much writing them into a massive corner with spikes and other nasty evils things...

[Manic]

It's a slightly bigger writing-corner than introducing the Doctor's future wife.

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, they had the Valeyard already and nobody really expects the Doctor to regenerate into him anytime soon. Maybe Morrissey's just playing another possible future version of the Doctor that we can write off and never think of again.

[Manic]

Wibbly Wobbly, Timey Wimey...

[TheCorpulent1]

Give this man a stick of celery. :up:

[Speedball]

Russel Tovey as the Doctor= booooo! :(
Russel Tovey is adorable! He'd make a better companion, though.

[Magneto29]

Yea, especially since he was already there as another character. I could see it if they brought him back as someone else, like they did with Freema, but not as the Doctor himself. No....

[Lord Valumart]

It's a slightly bigger writing-corner than introducing the Doctor's future wife.
well that was done by the guy who is going to be taking over the series so it really is rather different

tovey seems too 'baby faced' to be the doctor, imo.

[BlackLantern]

Weird random thought....during Frema's time on the show they had like 3 2 parters....the Daleks in Manhattan thing, the Family of Blood and a 3 part season finale....during Pipers last series, I don't remember any two parters....

She had 3 also in that series, cant remember the titles but there was the Cybermen 2 parter, the imposible planet Ood 2 parter and Cybermen vs Daleks series finale.

[BlackLantern]

I forgot it's been a while since I've watched them

[04nbod]

the new series has always had 3 multi part episodes

[Manic]

Exactly.

Series 1:
-Slitheen
-Empty Child
-Finale*

Series 2:
-Cybermen
-Satan/Ood
-Finale

Series 3:
-Daleks
-Human Nature
-Finale (3 parts)

Series 4:
-Sontaran
-Library
-Finale (3 parts)



*It can be argued that the finale to Series 1 was a 3-parter, since the Doctor's little adventure with Blon Slitheen led almost directly into the Bad Wolf finale. They had just picked up the extrapolator, and the last thing anyone remembers before being sent into Reality TV Hell was dropping off Blon's egg on the planet Raxicalifragilisticexpialidocious (even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious).

[Manic]

freaking lag

[Lord Valumart]

i think you'll find it's raxacoricofallapatorius...

[Manic]

I prefer my Mary Poppins joke.

[Lord Valumart]

fine...take you're joke over the correct name...next you'll claim the current cybermen are real and there was no series 6b...

[04nbod]

The E-space trilogy is coming on DVD probably in January. I don't get the fuss over that story. Warrior's gate was so boring I couldn't finish watching it

[Lord Valumart]

having never seen the introduction of adric i couldn;t comment...but LOTS of tom baker stories are WAY over hyped...the only one so far that has lived up to any hype, for me atleast, was terror of the zygons...which really needs to be on dvd

[JustABill]

So no one is talking about the title of the Christmas special being confirmed to be ''The Next Doctor?" Or the fact that apparently Rutans are going to be in the season 2 opener of Sarah Jane Adventures?

[Lord Valumart]

rutans? goddamnit now i have to buy series 1 of SJA to catch up on what i've not seen so i can understand the continuity refferences in series 2...first the brig now the rutans...where will it end:csad:

INT TARDIS - NIGHT

WIDE SHOT. In flight.

THE DOCTOR, all alone. He's a bit bedraggled, from the rain. Looks up at the Time Rotor.

Lost in thought.

Deep breath. Move on. He starts wandering round. Flicking switches. Recovering himself.

Nice and slow, taking his time. All the time in the world.

Then, eventually, there's a small bleep from the scanner. He wanders over. Only half interested. Studies it.

Then, more curious.

THE DOCTOR: What...?
(looks closer)
What?
(closer)
Whaaaat????!

And he's bending over, facinated, unable to see -

TWO CYBERMEN, rearing up behind him!!!

END OF EPISODE 13

In further extracts from A Writer's Tale showrunner RTD has revealed his choice for The Eleventh Doctor - RUSSELL TOVEY. He may be already fmailiar to some DOCTOR WHO fans as he appeared in VOYAGE OF THE DAMNED as Midshipman Frame.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7618537.stm

Davies also revealed he had wanted JK Rowling to star in a Christmas special.
'Spoof' idea
However, Tennant had not responded well to the suggestion.
"David doesn't like the JK idea, he thinks it sounds like a spoof, so we've paused slightly, wondering whether to win him round or just abandon something that he's not going to be happy with," Davies said.
:wow:



Also with no Doctor who except Colin Baker PBS airings and Season 2 Tennant I've stopped catching up with who. I decided to catch up again today and to my surprise I see a picture of Billie pregnant

Trust RTD to have that scene that looks so very, very wrong.

[TheCorpulent1]

In further extracts from A Writer's Tale showrunner RTD has revealed his choice for The Eleventh Doctor - RUSSELL TOVEY. He may be already fmailiar to some DOCTOR WHO fans as he appeared in VOYAGE OF THE DAMNED as Midshipman Frame.

Thank goodness RTD's influence on the show is soon coming to an end.

[The Squirrel]

Thank goodness RTD's influence on the show is soon coming to an end.

Seriously.

[The Question]

And then Steven Moffat will be show runner. Hot damn I am excited. He wrote most of the best episodes. Although I will give RTD credit: He wrote some pretty damn good ones.

[Manic]

I'm expecting to once again see Gina Bellman (Jane from Coupling).

[Captain_BluTac]

I'm hoping to, I love her weird voice.

[ttotheusher]

I'm expecting to once again see Gina Bellman (Jane from Coupling).

If we could just get Jeff back (no, not the actor, the actual Jeff) I would be a happy man. :word:

I don't remember if the picture was here with the cybermen standing in the back

So that was gonna be the cliff hanger for Season 4? Why did they drop it?

[Lord Valumart]

So that was gonna be the cliff hanger for Season 4? Why did they drop it?

cause rtd thought that the ending was too emotional to just throw that it there...

[Kahoot]

Too emotional?

2. "I love you Rose... What? Oh hi Donna."
3. "Well bye Martha... What? Oh hi Titannic."
4. "Bye Donna and everyone... What? Oh hi Cybermen."

It would fit!!!

[Lord Valumart]

well as we know i didn;t care about rose by the end of series 2 and martha was never all that good to begin with...

so yeh, the fact that the dr's just had to say goodbye to everyone again, and wipe donna's mind is kinda a bigger downer than the pervious ones...

[Kahoot]

I'm not the biggest fan of Rose coz the Dr should never love anyone but it was billed as Uber-emotional.

[Lord Valumart]

roses first goodbye was well writen by in no was emotional...i was to busy laughing at billie piper trying to cry...

[Kahoot]

My girlfriend is always telling me how she cried for days when the Doctor and Rose were parted.

[Gilpesh]

My girlfriend is always telling me how she cried for days when the Doctor and Rose were parted.

Dump her.

just make a sappy youtube music video like other 15 and 16 year old girls lol
There was a youtube clip but its gone now. heres what was saved

Nerdy Whovian fan groups seperated into 3 categories

1. The 40 year old virgin group who have seen every episode of the classic series again and again till their eyesballs bleed and do nothing but whine about the new series. Bigger better more popular than the old

2.Teenage fangirl group who when not they're not posting comments like "OMG David 10tennant IZ Teh SEXX!! are insisting Rose is the greatest thing to happen in the show or to the universe in general or make vomit inducing music videos about her and the doctor's relationship to songs by Snowpatrol or Pink

3. 10 to 14 year old boys who watch it for the pounding erection inducing adreneline whenever there's a explosion or running around....which is a hell of alot

[Lord Valumart]

with those three groups we have to think which one we fit into most...hmm...

[The Squirrel]

I don't fit into any of those groups. So what am I?

[TheCorpulent1]

Not a real Doctor Who fan.

[The Squirrel]

not a real doctor who fan.

:( :(

[Captain_BluTac]

Those three groups excluded the gay fanboys! :cmad:

[SpideyLad]

Those three groups excluded the gay fanboys! :cmad:

Surely that's just a mix of 2 and 3....:huh:

[Captain_BluTac]

So I'm a 2.5 ay, I'd rather opt for 4.

[SpideyLad]

So I'm a 2.5 ay, I'd rather opt for 4.

Very well then...:cmad:

[Logan's Lady]

I don't fit into any of those groups either......

guess I'm not a real Doctor Who fan either :( :(

[JustABill]

Don't fit into any of those groups either.

I ordered the 'Bred for War' sontaran set from play today. Its out of stock but a steal for £17.99

[Gold Samurai]

From Russell's book, he talks about his female companions
"I suppose there's a basic characteristic that I bear in mind. An essence. Rose is open, honest, heartfelt, to the point of being selfish, wonderfully selfish. Martha is clever, calm, but rarely says what she's thinking. Donna is blunt, precise, unfiltered, but with a big heart underneath all the banter. But we come back to what I was saying ages ago about turning characters. If Rose can be selfish, then her finest moments will come when she's selfless. If Martha keeps quiet, then her moments of revelation--like her goodbye to the Doctor in "Last of the Time Lords", or stuck with Milo and Cheen in "Gridlock"-- make her fly. Donna is magnificently self-centred--not selfish, but she pivots everything around herself, as we all do--so when she opens up and hears the Ood song, or begs for Caecilius' family to be saved, then she's wonderful."

Rose was selfish at the end of Journey's End

[Kahoot]

The Next Doctor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Next_Doctor) has got to be a bluff. They wouldn't give away the title so early if it was actually going to be the death of 10th and birth of 11th. Maybe some sort of meeting of 10th with a future incarnation.

Donna only ever seemed self-centered in Runaway Bride. :confused:

[04nbod]

Donna only ever seemed self-centered in Runaway Bride. :confused:

I'd agree completely.

I also wouldn't say rose was selfish at the end of Journey's end. She was in a light field for most of it, then helped defeat the daleks (again) then was left with alt-10. She was confused but wasn't everyone? She wanted to be with the man she loved, that isn't selfish.

[Manic]

I'm still waiting for Nick Frost to appear on Doctor Who. We've already had Pegg and Stevenson.

[Lord Valumart]

it is if the man she loves happens to be the "last" of the time lords...

if she really did get that then there would be endless arguments with him about what time he got in, and why he's back before he's even left, or why it took him 3 weeks to go get milk...or why that nice mister master keeps coming to the door asing him to play when he clearly has to finish papering the spare bedroom...

Is it wrong that, that thing made sense to me?

[Lord Valumart]

if it made sense to someone then thats all i wanted:up::huh:

[Gilpesh]

Alright... now I'm confuzzled.

[andy3395]

It was kinda selfish of rose.she knows he's the last of the time lords and she's seen the kinda stuff he does to protect people.if he stopped doing that, Who knows what would happen.

[Manic]

Okay, what show are you guys watching? Rose would've been perfectly happy following the Doctor wherever he went. She didn't want him to settle down. She wanted to tag along for the rest of her life.

there is only one answer to that. Three Way.

[psychocheeseman]

Personally I hope Rose's story is done now. I liked Rose but her latest three episode appearance really added nothing to the overall story and it would've been better to have kept the Doomsday ending IMHO. ...
John Simm's return as the Master on the other hand would be fine with me, though I'm not sure how they'll go about it.

Good post. no need for any more rose, but definately a need for Simm to come back if he can.

I hated the last episode of season 4. well, maybe not hated, just didn't really enjoy it... I thought having two doctors and a fast talking Donna was kinda lame....so much so that i even think it would have been better if the doctor had simply regenerated into a new actor - and that says alot considering i think tennant is pretty awesome.

anyone else hear this?
http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2008/10/13/drwho-prince-charles.html

Apparently prince Charles turned down a cameo on doctor who - which is weird considering he's a fan, but then RTD went and called him a "miserable swine"... which seems pretty rude.

[Manic]

Prince Charles should be grateful Doctor Who is one of the few shows I've seen that hasn't ripped into his husband.


--EDIT--
I mean "wife." It's so hard to tell.

[Lord Valumart]

there is only one answer to that. Three Way.

thats not how dr who works...

[Manic]

But that is how cameo appearances on Torchwood work. Also Doctor Who fan fiction, not that there's much of a difference.

Wow, Davies is kind of a dick.

[Lord Valumart]

Wow, Davies is kind of a dick.

did you watch confidential? did you never hear him talk about his "good" ideas?

the man is clearly insane...

[TheCorpulent1]

I've never watched Confidential.

[Lord Valumart]

be thankful... somethings cannot be unheard :csad:

[TheCorpulent1]

Now I'm curious. What were his ideas?

[Lord Valumart]

i can't really remember but i'm willing to bet if he describes anything as "wonderful" then it's not good...

[Captain_BluTac]

He described Yamit Mamo as brilliant.:o

[Lord Valumart]

what is that? some kind of milk based snack:huh:

[Captain_BluTac]

A singer, that looks like Adele, but isn't as sweet.:o

[Gilpesh]

Davies on Confidential just reminds me of that Smug episode of South Park...

[Lord Valumart]

A singer, that looks like Adele, but isn't as sweet.:o

and adele is...?

[Captain_BluTac]

and adele is...?

The woman who sung Chasing Pavements.:o

[Lord Valumart]

then she must die:cmad::cmad:

OMG his bafta speech could destroy the world:hehe:

I like Adele. She's a little boring, but she's alright.

Oh, I meant he carries around an empty wine glass to fart into and smell it... :woot:

[TheCorpulent1]

Blurgh, a professional news website got Peter Davison's name wrong. Anyway, good stuff. I would be excited to see that.

[Lord Valumart]

as good as that sounds in theory it would be horrible if they actually did it. the two bakers are in no fit shape to return to the roles and mccoy's age changes on a daily basis so it would be hell during filming...

that and chris is too busy trying to wash his hands of dr who he wouln't do it...

[TheCorpulent1]

Eccleston's involvement sounded suspect to me, but who knows? Throw enough money at him and he might consider it.

[The Squirrel]

Sounds good to me.

[Lord Valumart]

Eccleston's involvement sounded suspect to me, but who knows? Throw enough money at him and he might consider it.

throwing money at it is a bad idea since doing that will drag down the budget for everything else. but who knows what they're doing, more davison and mcgann would be a brilliant thing

[union_jak]

I don't think the Doctors would expect payment if it's for Children In Need, being that it's a charity event. The fact that it's for CIN, and due to be on tv in less than a months time clearly means it'd be cheap and uneventful in the Whoverse.

[SpideyLad]

I think that this was debunked on the OG...But we shall see...

[TheVileOne]

So just curious, do they really want to make a movie with Tenant?

Is River Song going to be a companion in series 5?

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't think I could take a whole series of River. :(

[Lord Valumart]

atleast if she's the companion she won;t be wandering around going "spoilers...*failed sexy grin*"

[GhostPoet]

Wesley Snipes will be The Doctors new companion!!

[TheCorpulent1]

Haha, the Doctor would be bored as hell 'cause Snipes would rush in and kick everyone's ass before they could do a thing. :D

[Manic]

Wesley should play Blade. At least then, his character might or might not technically be English.

[SpideyLad]

I don't think I could take a whole series of River. :(

Neither could I..:csad:

[GhostPoet]

Haha, the Doctor would be bored as hell 'cause Snipes would rush in and kick everyone's ass before they could do a thing. :D

I can see it now.

Doctor - "We should reaso..."
Blade - "GAHH!!!"

*rushes in slicing up all the people in the room, shooting others.*

Blade - "Sucka's wouldn't listen to reason."

[TheVileOne]

I kind of liked River :( .

[Captain_BluTac]

Has anyone else been watching The Sarah Jane Adventures this year and does anyone else think that it's been better than the last couple of series of Doctor Who?

[Lord Valumart]

i watched the sontaran opener and i'll watch the series ender with the brig but overall ithink it really is rather bad...

[TheCorpulent1]

I watched a couple of earlier episodes and thought it was pretty awful.

[Captain_BluTac]

The first series (with the exception of The Trickster ep) was distinctly underwhelming, but as of the second series the quality has really improved, the Sontaran episode was decent enough if only for having the guts to show (albeit green) blood on a kid's show and the second story of this series (about a Tulpa) was by far the best episode they have ever done..

[04nbod]

I haven't seen SJA yet which is surprising but I'll catch up when its done. I don't like cliffhangers

[Lord Valumart]

from what i've seen of the show thats not really that hard to do...

[Manic]

I watched the very first episode, and I was done.

[Magneto29]

I don't think I could take a whole series of River. :(

I remember reading somewhere that they originally wanted Kate Winslet as River. I think she would have been better; or sound more human atleast...

[The Squirrel]

I can see it now.

Kate Winslet would've been lovely. She can do the sassy, fast-talking thing with charisma and charm. Alex Kingston just wound up sounding condescending and obnoxious.

[Manic]

It was still a surprising performance out of Kingston, as it was a completely different type of condescending and obnoxious than what she did on ER.

[Kahoot]

atleast if she's the companion she won;t be wandering around going "spoilers...*failed sexy grin*"
I don't think I get that.

[TheCorpulent1]

It was still a surprising performance out of Kingston, as it was a completely different type of condescending and obnoxious than what she did on ER.
Ironically, that bald, unabashed obnoxiousness on ER was somehow more endearing than her failed playful obnoxiousness on Doctor Who.

[Lord Valumart]

I don't think I get that.

you know something?

neither do i:huh:

[Gold Samurai]

Billie gave birth last week
[http://www.stuff.co.nz/4735788a1860.html

Billie Piper, the star of raunchy television show Secret Diary of a Call Girl, has given birth to a baby boy.
The former Doctor Who actress welcomed her first child with husband Laurence Fox into the world at London's Portland hospital, after having a caesarean section, today.
At the time of writing no other details about the birth had been revealed.
The 26-year-old actress - who was accompanied by Laurence, 29, at the hospital - recently revealed she was feeling nervous about the birth, and had become obsessed with having scans.
She said: "Some women are all about this glowing, blooming thing, aren't they? I haven't really tapped into that. I've basically replaced all my vices for a new one - control.
"I've had about 10 scans and I bought one of those baby heart monitor things. Such a bad idea - it's like listening to a huge shell on the beach.
But I do love it. The whole thing is just so sweet, tender and adorable."


Congrats to them all.

I remember reading somewhere that they originally wanted Kate Winslet as River. I think she would have been better; or sound more human atleast...


yeah its from "the writer's tale" a book with some interesting insight into Russell T davies reign as producer. Also he wanted to an episode with JK Rowling

In further extracts from A Writer's Tale showrunner RTD has revealed his choice for The Eleventh Doctor - RUSSELL TOVEY. He may be already fmailiar to some DOCTOR WHO fans as he appeared in VOYAGE OF THE DAMNED as Midshipman Frame.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7618537.stm


Davies also revealed he had wanted JK Rowling to star in a Christmas special.
'Spoof' idea
However, Tennant had not responded well to the suggestion.
"David doesn't like the JK idea, he thinks it sounds like a spoof, so we've paused slightly, wondering whether to win him round or just abandon something that he's not going to be happy with," Davies said.

[TheVileOne]

I still liked River.

Is there not enough K9 in Sarah Jane now?

I imagine Mickey will be joining Torchwood based off the end of series 4.

Also David Tennant for Dr. Who - The Movie :D with lots of wibbly wobbly timey wimey.

[The Question]

I honestly think there should be a Doctor Who musical episode. There should be no wacky sci-fi/supernatural explanation for all the singing and dancing. It just happens as it would in any musical. Maybe at the end, whoever The Doctor is hanging out with that episode comments on all the singing, and The Doctor replies "Yeah. That was weird." And then the episode ends.

Whatever shred of respect I had for Davies is now officially gone. :o

[Kahoot]

Whatever shred of respect I had for Davies is now officially gone. :o
You had respect for Davies to begin with :wow:

I have a new found respect for Tennant for not doing it.

[Manic]

I like to think some of his casting decisions give Davies an iota of respect.

[Lord Valumart]

davis should never have gotten respect...the man can't even write good sci fi. he tried it several times and the most sci fi story from him we got was smith and jones, which was horrible.

now...i'm all for getting him fired out of a cannon into the sun if you're all with me?

[TheVileOne]

Didn't he come up with Cybermen vs. Daleks?

[Kahoot]

Didn't he come up with Cybermen vs. Daleks?
I think there have been billons of fanfiction stories about that before he did it. And they were probably better writen and more balanced than his army of Cybermen who can't even hurt 4 Daleks let alone one.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, if you've got a show with a big fanbase, you can pretty much guarantee that all the "vs." combinations have been thought of and discussed or been made into fanfics by said fanbase within a year or two. It's the nature of fandom to have character pissing contests.

[TheVileOne]

Didn't he write some good episodes in series 4?

[Manic]

I did like about 80% of the 3-part finale.

[ttotheusher]

Davies can always write a good setup, just never the payoff.

[Manic]

Which would be that remaining 20%

[04nbod]

The Parting of the Ways is still my favourite episode of doctor who ever. Davies came through perfectly

[Manic]

It's one of the very few times Davies didn't write himself into a corner, and conjure some wacky-tacky plot device to fix everything. You know, stuff like sucking everyone with Void radiation back into the Void except for the Doctor because he's holding a clamp.

[Lord Valumart]

Didn't he write some good episodes in series 4?

his best ep in series 4 was midnight, which surprisingly apart from the setting wasn't overly sci fi. as with love and monsters it just shows that yes, RTD can indeed write good stuff, just not sci fi.

it's a sad thing when the head writer can't write for the shows main genre... but now he's gone and we have moffet who'll probably give us some eps that are meh and a few that everyone loves and ones that i'll argue to the death that they suck but everyone else loves.

i wish they could please us all...:csad:

[TheVileOne]

I think you guys should be nicer considering that we wouldn't have this show without Russell T. Davies.

And I hope he writes a movie if they make one.

[Lord Valumart]

we probably would have gotten the show back at some point...RTD was just there pestering the right person at the right moment...

[The Squirrel]

Just cause he got the show back, and I thank him for it, doesn't mean he is a good writer.

[TheVileOne]

What is so bad about the writing though?

[Lord Valumart]

What is so bad about the writing though?

other writers have atleast made up some kind of whoinverse style scenice explination for stuff that goes on in there episodes which allows us to beleive that little bit more that this is happening. RTD just has the most random explinations or "becasue it's part of the plot and was writen to just be there" which takes us out of the show and makes us groan at the telly...

[TheVileOne]

I'm not sure what you are talking about, could you be more specific?

Do you mean things like the hand/half-human Doctor thing?
