Raven Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I was so happy that Rose got "a" Doctor after all Yeah, Doctor Two, part Timelord, part Donna - Rose is going to be so happy when she works that one out! Quote
Raven Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Three left to go ... the next one The Waters of Mars should be November time in the UK... There is a rumour doing the rounds that The Waters of Mars may be screened on Halloween evening, as October 31st is a Saturday. ... then two more which are being suggested will be one at Christmas and one at New Year. Plus two episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures and, as another rumour has it, another Children in Need special. Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I can't wait for The Waters Of Mars - it looks really eerie Quote
Michelle Posted July 29, 2009 Author Posted July 29, 2009 Yeah, Doctor Two, part Timelord, part Donna - Rose is going to be so happy when she works that one out! Now there's a whole new area for the world of fanfic to explore! Quote
chesilbeach Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 There is a rumour doing the rounds that The Waters of Mars may be screened on Halloween evening, as October 31st is a Saturday. I hope that's true - I always thought the November date was a bit odd, as all the others have been tied into a bank holiday. Plus two episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures and, as another rumour has it, another Children in Need special. That's right, plus there's still the rumours doing the rounds about a possible film. I know there was no announcement as everyone expected at Comic-Con, but there is still a possibility of it, as I think the BBC have said they're considering a feature (film). Quote
jewell Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I'm also looking forward to The waters of Mars. The best Doctor who episodes are the spooky ones and this one looks set to send chills down my spine! Quote
Ravenwood Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 All very exciting but have to admit I'm gutted there's no Bank Holiday episode to look forward to this month! Quote
Mia Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Have you all seen trailers for The Waters of Mars, then? I haven't seen anything about it! Quote
chesilbeach Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I think it's only available if you're in the UK, on the official BBC Doctor Who site (http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/) Quote
chesilbeach Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Anyone desperate for a Doctor Who fix? The Doctor Who Confidential team have produced three new hour-long documentaries, Doctor Who's Greatest Moments. The episode titles are The Doctor, Companions and Enemies, will include interviews with David Tennant, Freema Agyeman, Georgia Moffett, David Morrissey and John Barrowman and will be shown in the UK on BBC3 on Thursday, 20 August 2009 at 8:00 pm.

Raven Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 That should really be called NEW Doctor Who's Greatest Moments! Quote
chesilbeach Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Going along those lines, I suspect it should really be called "Russell T Davies' Doctor Who's Greatest Moments"! I'm thinking it was a good excuse to get all the old team back together for a few days (RTD, David Tennant, Julie Gardner, Phil Collinson plus directors, crew and actors), on the premise of recording some interviews, then have a huge party to celebrate the end of an era.

Raven Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Going along those lines, I suspect it should really be called "Russell T Davies' Doctor Who's Greatest Moments"!* *As written by Steven Moffat! (That man has so much to live up to, I hope he manages it). Quote
chesilbeach Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 You're right, his Doctor Who pedigree is amazing, and he's set himself such a high standard of writing that I hope he can live up to it. That said, I'm actively avoiding my usual Doctor Who forum until the next series airs, as I'd like to avoid as many spoilers as possible before the new series airs, and I'm intrigued to know how he's going to handle balancing the exec producer responsibilities with the writing ones. I'm hoping he doesn't go along the RTD route and try to write too many episodes in the series. Quote
Raven Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 I don't think RTDs problem was the number of episodes he wrote; it was more what he wrote. I'm not a huge fan of a lot of his stories (the Slitheen stories and the Master two-parter for example), but I have to admit that he did turn out some very good stories at the same time (Midnight, Love and Monsters, Doomsday etc). Which Doctor Who forum is it that you are avoiding now, out of interest? Quote

I think the first series was his best, when he'd had years to dream about all those Doctor Who stories he would write if the series was still going, and he wasn't under the time pressure of exec producing and writing at the same time. After the first series, I think he should have handed over more episodes to other writers. My favourites of his are Boom Town, Love and Monsters and Tooth and Claw. I think his most disappointing stories were the season finales, trying to be too big and epic, and throwing everything except the kitchen sink into them. There are scenes in all of the them I love but on the whole I think they were average at best (and I'll never forgive him for Last of the Timelords). Which Doctor Who forum is it that you are avoiding now, out of interest? Doctor Who Online - I joined because I used to listen to The Whocast, and they linked up after a while. I even sent in some reviews and was one of the live reviewers on a few episodes of the podcast during series three. Quote

Kraz3QCon Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 (edited) OHHHH!!!! Caprain Jack! Whocast is GREAT as well! Edited August 26, 2009 by Michelle posts merged Quote
Raven Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Pictures of the Doctor in The Sarah Jane Adventures (coming next month). Mild spoilers in the text, but the pictures themselves don't give much away. Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I've never watched the Sarah Jane Adventures before but might watch that one Quote
Michelle Posted October 8, 2009 Author Posted October 8, 2009 Dr Who 2010 has a new logo! My initial opinion is good.. I think it fits a younger Doctor. Quote
Rosalind Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Indeed, it seems very new, young and flashy Quote
