Nollaig Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 I must try watch the Tennant series again. Didn't help that what few eps I watched made me generally hate Tennant, Tate and Piper. Quote
Lucybird Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 I just got tennant's first series on dvd and am really enjoying it. He is my favourite Doctor. Quote
Ooshie Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 My 15 year old wonders whether River Song will turn out to be a Doctor from the future, as if they decide to break the conventions and have more regenerations than they should, then they could go the whole hog and have a female Doctor, too! Quote
chesilbeach Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 Have you actually seen the Tennant series Nollaig, or just some of the episodes? Not sure from your post if you're re-watching them and hating DT, BP and CT or whether you've only watched some, and they happened to be ones you didn't like? If you haven't seen them all, tell us which ones you've seen and not liked, and perhaps we can recommend some to try? Quote
Nollaig Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 My mum watched the Tennant series, so I used to be subjected to it. I have no idea what episodes they were or what happened in them, I just couldn't stand the actors so I never watched it. If I were to watch it, I'd get all three seasons and watch them through. That said, I've seen the final episode. The one where he regenerates and turns into Matt Smith. I did get a bit teary when he said, 'I don't want to go', because that was a bit sucky, but beyond that I was like 'yay new doctor!' I wasn't GOING to watch this season of Doctor Who either, but a friend of mine pointed out it was a whole new Doctor etc. so I decided to give it a go, assuming I'd hate the actors in it just like the Tennant series, but I loved it. Quote
chesilbeach Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 If you're going to watch them all, then I leave you to it, but for me, the best of the DT stories were Human Nature/Family of Blood from series three, so I hope you get that far. I wasn't a great fan of Freema as companion (just not a very good actress imo), but that two parter was outstanding. Quote
Nollaig Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 Dashing? I don't think that's the word I'd use... He's very strange looking (and I'm being polite there). Ah now. Not even with adoreable nerd glasses? Well, I'd gladly have him. Quote
Mia Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 Ewww... Is there a throwing up smiley I can use? Noll, you are welcome to him! I really need to get a DT avatar piccie to try and redress the balance of all these Matt Smith pics that are proliferating here. Quote
chesilbeach Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 Loving the specs! I have to agree with Nollaig that he certainly was dashing in the top hat and tails, but Mr Smith is a bit too young for me (as I'm starting to feel my age thanks to OH who pointed out with astonishment what age I will be next birthday then quickly followed it with a gleeful cackle at my horror when I realised he was right) so I'll be sticking to Mr Tennant for my doctorial dreaming. Quote
Nollaig Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 Matt's a bit older than me but Karen Gillan is the same age as me soooooooo I deem that acceptable grounds for my proposed acquistion of said Doctor! (Completely senseless grounds but shhh!) I've a friend who looks IDENTICAL to Matt Smith in the specs photo. And said friend is dressing up as the 11th Doctor for Halloween this year! Quote
chesilbeach Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 That's sounds reasonable to me - David Tennant is the same (perfect) age as me, so therefore I have first dibs on him. Quote
Nollaig Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 *wikis David Tennant* Wow, I knew Matt Smith was the youngest Doc ever but I didn't realise the age gap was quite so big. I would have given David Tennant mid-thirties at the OLDEST. Quote
chesilbeach Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 Well he was when he started playing The Doctor! Quote
Michelle Posted June 28, 2010 Author Posted June 28, 2010 That's sounds reasonable to me - David Tennant is the same (perfect) age as me, so therefore I have first dibs on him. Pfft! You'd have to get past me first! Noll, I guess your taste will improve as you mature! Quote
Nollaig Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 *Gasp* Poor ole Matt Smith. Well *I* think he's adoreable. Roll on Christmas Special Quote
Lucybird Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 *wikis* Well at least he's not as old as Hugh Grant, doesn't seem so wrong... Quote
Nollaig Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 Why, how old is Hugh Grant?! *wikis* Holy.... Yeah, hi Matt Smith, I'm Nollaig. You're in my age bracket, pleased to meet you. Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 I'm with you Noll. I love Matt Smith and can't wait for the Christmas special and the next series. I'm still not too sure about Amy but I like her more now than I did at the start. Quote
Nollaig Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 I quite like Amy. I love the character, not as sure about Gillan's ability to portray her. Didn't realise the actress was only 21/22 when filming though, that's pretty young. I can't imagine what the Christmas Special is going to be about!! Quote
chesilbeach Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 I've only seen this weeks episode once so far, but I'm really hoping that the Christmas Special will be what was discussed on the phone call The Doctor took towards the end of the programme. (Don't think there's any need to spoiler most of this, as I can't exactly remember what it was but I do know there was mention of The Orient Express !) Quote
Nollaig Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 Oh yeah the Egyptian deity loose on the Orient Express... in space Sounds a bit far fetched to be honest, even for Doctor Who! Quote
pickle Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Surely no more far fetched than the titanic travelling through space.. I only just watched the last episode last night as I spent the weekend in the garden and missed it because of horrible scheduling. I did really enjoy it and have no problem with Matt Smith and thought he did a great job in whats been an up and down series for me. Quote
Raven Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 Poor ole Matt Smith. Well *I* think he's adoreable. It's a shame that so many are assessing his ability to be the Doctor on how good looking he is, anyone remember Hartnell, Troughton, Pertwee, McCoy etc? Anyway, to tide you all over until Christmas . . . Johnny Depp to star in 'Doctor Who' film? I'm pretty sure this is Digital Spy trying their old trick of turning a net rumour into "news", but I'm hoping it's not true because: 1) It seems Johnny Depp is linked to or in every film with a slightly eccentric character these days and (more importantly) 2) He's not fuppin' British! Quote
Nollaig Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 It's a shame that so many are assessing his ability to be the Doctor on how good looking he is. Well, I'm certainly not, if you were implying that by quoting me specifically. His being adoreable is a bonus. Johnny Depp is completely wrong in every possible way for anything to do with Doctor Who. Quote
Raven Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 Well, I'm certainly not, if you were implying that by quoting me specifically. His being adoreable is a bonus. Oo! Paranoia! No, I was actually agreeing with your Poor ole Matt Smith line! Quote
