aricandover Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I just watched the finale a couple of nights ago. My daughter and I got really excited when we saw the Christmas special preview until we realized we have to wait until Christmas to see it! I've just been getting the series off of the internets and hadn't realized we were at the end of what's available. Now, I'm going to go back and watch the old school Doctors. if you're a netflix member, they have a lot of old episodes available for streaming! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yermom Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I recently discovered that! I've thought of starting a Netflix "watch instantly" thread because there are a lot of goodies available there to stream. I was close to canceling my subscription until I realized so much stuff was available instantly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=vrkBE3LgUYg watching this video brings a bit of a tear to my eye. that's some powerful stuff. as much as I liked the season 4 finale, I wish they hadn't brought Rose back, because it wasn't made to seem as important as it should have been.

yermom Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I made a Tardis t-shirt a couple of nights ago for my little Ten fan. It turned out pretty sweet, so now I've got to make one for myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yermom Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 what the hell is a doctor who?Oh, and the answer to this is:" Time Lord, from the planet Gallifrey, in the constellation of Kasterborous, 900 and 3 years old and the man who's gonna save your lives and ALL 6 billion people on the planet below...you got a problem with that?"...and a he's a little bit foxy.

I actually do have a problem with that, because in the old series episode "Time and the Rani", he clearly states that he's 953 years old. Bad BBC fact checking. tsk tsk tsk.

OOO Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 News services are reporting that this year's Children in Need will feature a special to include all seven living Doctor Who lead actors. This is from the Telegraph: [Remember: treat all such news as rumour until confirmed officially by the BBC]The actors are getting together for the BBC charity Children in Need in a programme to be broadcast on November 14. An insider at the BBC said: "It's a pretty ambitious idea and it's still being finalised. Everything is being kept under wraps but Doctor Who fans are in for a big treat." The first of the 10 actors to take the role was William Hartnell in 1963, followed three years later by Patrick Troughton and then by Jon Pertwee but all three have since died. The seven survivors include Tom Baker, now best known as the voice of the comedy series Little Britain, who played the role for seven years from 1974. He was followed by Peter Davidson from 1981 to 1984, whose daughter Georgia Moffett has also featured in the programme and who is now dating the current doctor, David Tennant. The others are Colin Baker, from 1984 to 1986, Sylvester McCoy who had two stints from 1987 to 1989 and re-appeared in the role in 1996, Paul McGann, who took over the role in 1996 and Christopher Eccleston who reprised the series in 2005.

aricandover Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I don't trust that rumor. Russel T. Davies mentioned in an issue of Doctor Who Magazine that they wanted to do something for Children in Need this year, but they simply couldn't pull it all together in time.

Analogman Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 2nd Source Tom Baker Maybe Possibly Returning to Doctor WhoPosted at 11:28 AM Oct 14, 2008 All you Who-fans in Who-ville, listen up. Even though the next Doctor Who TV series isn't set to air until 2010, the casting rumors are going crazy. Now the Sun reports that Tom Baker, the fourth and still longest-tenured Doctor of the series, may be returning to the franchise, and maybe in the role of the Master, the renegade Time Lord, who has also been played by a bevy of British actors over Who's 45 year run. Seeing the most famous Doctor play Who's biggest nemesis should be cool, and is a pretty damned good idea. Oh, and even though a British newspaper has reported this, I'm not dismissing it out of hand. I fully believe the Sun knows significantly more of what's happening at the BBC than the super, secret casting meetings for Batman 3 that not even Chris Nolan seems to know about.(Via Slice of Scifi - original source) My one hope is that if Baker does do the role, someone, anyone asks him "What are you doing here?"

aricandover Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 well shit: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/oct/29/doctorwho-bbc David Tennant has announced that he is vacating the Tardis and leaving the BBC's Doctor Who series at the end of next year. Tennant's decision brings to an end his popular four-year tenure as the time lord. The BBC confirmed that the Scottish actor will complete the filming of four special episodes to be screened this year and in early 2010, as well as 2009's Christmas special. Tennant broke the news of his departure at the National Television Awards as he accepted the outstanding drama performance prize. He said: "When Doctor Who returns in 2010 it won't be with me. The 2009 shows will be my last playing the doctor. "If I don't take a deep breath and move on now, I never will." Speaking about his time on the show, Tennant added: "It has been the most brilliant and life-changing time. But it's not over yet, I have a whole other year to go. "Thank you for being so enthusiastic about the show, for watching it, and loving it." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not that thats ever really bothered Doctor Who fans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
