And about classic Who.

While most big fans have seen a lot of the classic series, you really don't need to to see the new ones. But if you really want to go through them, I'd start at Spearhead from Space, the third doctor's first episode. He's the first Doctor to still have all his serials available in some format, DVD, online or otherwise, has copious amounts of Brigadier, (see video for info on him) and the companions were actually consistently interesting, instead of just being damsels in distress of the season. Plus, the Third Doctor's got a cape, and people with capes are awesome.

Watch 9, 10, and 11

They are all very, very good, each in their own way.

Found an "Eleventh Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver" today.

This thing is so much fucking fun.

>>18859

Soon I will have the Trio and then a Tardis. Now all I need is a Matt Smith from the 11th Doctor set since Brits are selling him cheap as a separate.

>>18868
...are you doing what I think you're doing?

>>18871

oh yeessss. I guess I can have then hang out with Pertwee till I can get a David or Matt figure. And once I get my Grant situation sorted out and my refund proceed get all my books, I'll use a little of what I have left over to get a camera for myself and set up some nice shots of their meetings.

  HAHA WAT

>Dirk Gently, the bumbling detective creation of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy author Douglas Adams, will come alive on the screen for the first time in a mystery that stems from his attempted rescue of a cat from an old lady's house.

I never did read Dirk Gentley's Holistic Detective Agency, but I loved The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul so this makes me so damn happy.

Here's a little idea to mix up things for the thread. Let's list ideas or places you'd like to see Doctor Who tackle.

I know Centurion just came out, so it might be considered stealing to do something on them right now, but the disappearance of the Roman Ninth Legion would be a great thing for Doctor Who to tackle.

Also, please, PLEASE. Enough with the Daleks. I know everyone loves the Daleks, but this is the same problem that happened back in Dalekmania. Everyone got sick of them when they showed EVERY year. Give them a few seasons out of the spotlight. Then in the finale of season...9 or 10, bring them back for a big finale as a surprise like how Earthshock did with the Cybermen, people would love it.

Finally, Victorian-era companion. DO IT.

New Dr Who series to be split in two, cliffhanger in the middle

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/aug/29/doctor-who-cliffhanger-series-split?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

>>18955
I'm okay with this.

>>18955

I'm honestly more surprised it took 5the BBC this long to realize that blowing their load in April makes waiting 8 months all the more agonizing.

And the cliffhanger probably involves teh Silence will Fall guy, maybe being the Valeyard or something.

>>18957

Oh god, we just watched that routine in Communications.

Are you a wizard?

Oh hey, Who thread, I didn't see you there.

I just watched Journey's End for the first time. WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT SHIT

>>19026
Probably the weakest of the endings.

Even so it was okay.

Still MILES above Torchwood.

>>19029

'Probably' nothing, that was Batman & Robin level bad.

Fucking sliding Daleks around like air hockey pucks.

>>19030
There is nothing bad about Batman and Robin, specify Forever if you want to get your point across.

And really, it wasn't that bad. Besides, they make up for it ten fold later.

I can't be the only one who LIKED children of earth?

>>19036
I dunno, your the first I've seen say anything positive about it though, so what'd you like about it?

And now for another great spoiler roundup by super commenter bluehinter. The biggest news is that one of the two-parters - probably the first - will likely be set in Egypt, and it's rumored to be written by an unknown new writer. (If I had to guess, that'll be episodes 5 and 6, because Richard Clark is directing Neil Gaiman's third episode as well as episode 4, so that means the first slot for a two-parter is 5 and 6.) The series is also filming at the 17/18th century house Dyrham Park, and some third-hand information suggests the story is about "the Doctor in a giant dollhouse!" (Who wants to start a return of the Celestial Toymaker rumor?) And Neil Gaiman's script was originally called The House of Nothing, which might suggest the Dyrham Park episode is his... or maybe they're just doing a lot of house-related stuff this season.

Also, no more Daleks!

Steven Moffat has given a strong hint that The Daleks will not be appearing in the next series of Doctor Who.

Speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival, the Who showrunner admitted that there are currently no plans for the famous aliens to reappear, although work on the 2011 series is not yet complete.

He said: "There will be a Dalek story when we've got a good idea for a Dalek story. [When that happens], there will be lots of different kinds of Daleks."

It was confirmed back in July that the festive special would be a Doctor Who twist on Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol.

Some had speculated that a former Doctor might come back as the Ghost of Christmas Past, but a trailer shown to a select audience at the Edinburgh TV Festival suggested otherwise, with Matt Smith’s Doctor saying in one scene, “I’m the Ghost of Christmas Past.”

At the event Steven Moffat said actor Michael Gambon will play the Scrooge type character, rumoured to be called Kazran. Other rumours suggest the special will be set on an alien planet that looks Victorian, with an alien shark as the monster.

>>19040
Actually, I loved Children of Earth Parts One through Four, they were awesome.

Part Five was where everything suddenly turned to shit.

>>19036
...I actually like most of torchwood. Especially because human error and failure factored into a lot of it's themes. Yeah, there were really stupid parts to it but at the same time there were good parts.

>>19152
>No Daleks
... Best news I've heard all day. Don't you be lying to me, Moffat.

Why do you guys like shitty tv shows? Dr. Who..Psych..such a sadness

  Just picked one off ebay for 18 bucks

>>19262
O0O I WANT ONE!

>>19279

Really hoping we see K-9 back with the 11th Doctor. And by see him I mean HIM not that shitty Kids Show nonsense...and it looks like I jumped the gun on payment on RC K9 and accidentally sent a pound less on shipping..but he's gonna foot it and send it anyway. He's earned himself a positive review if it gets here in good time and condition.

WHY DID I LAUGH.

http://www.comictwart.com/

I thought of something today. You know, despite all this bitching about the Sontarans and the Rutan Host at war with each other, we've never actually seen them in the same story.

I think we need a serial where that happens. Have it be the thing that starts the Doctor down the path of the Valeyard, regenerating in a war, and starting to struggle with his now violent attributes. OOH OOH! OR, make it 31st century Earth, and have the heroes that help save the humans from the war, THE AWOKEN SILURIANS!

  >Now I bet you're wondering if there's going to be any side effects, and there's not... Unless you've got your mobile phone on you in which case you're going to die.
ilu Matt Smith

Sure I got a couple.

From mah boi Chris Samnee

This one gets me every single fucking time.

From mah gurl Doc Science.

  Well, this was pretty well made.

I really hate that there isn't a clearer version of Terror of the Zygons out there. I can't understand a damn word the Zygons are saying.
