I Love Doctor Who, have since the mid 80’s when I was a 6 year old kid watching it on the local PBS station.

Not sure when it will start airing down under but in the US we have 4 episodes left.

I AM HUGE FAN

The series finale has been and gone over here in the UK… 65min special to close it all up for you awaits. All I’ll say is that as much as the final 2-parter is good, it’s very very cramped and could have done with being a 3-parter.

Roll on the Christmas special with the Cybermen that’s all I’m saying! 😛

EDIT: Also, sorry to sound so pedantic… but should the official thread for Doctor Who on here really be called THE DOCTOR WHO STUFF THREAD? Doesn’t sound too official really… I’d have thought "The Official Doctor Who Thread" would sound more, well… official? lol.

Just a suggestion of course, if we’re going to make this thread successful etc.

you do have a point

I am a huge fan as well. I used to watch it with my dad during
the 80s. It was one of the few times I could stay up late.. I
have since rediscovered my likeness for it. I watch both Old
series and New series. ( Hence my Delgado ava with Simms
sig. well I haven’t got my Delgado sig made yet so…)

I’ve only just started watching this series. It’s pretty interesting so far

Id completely forgotten about my creation of this thread. were just up to the fires of pompeii.

THE ADIPOSE ARE AWESOME

That was a great episode, I liked it alot

I love the classic Doctor Who, especially the Tom Baker era. We have the whole Key to Time series segment on DVD. My grandfather and uncle taped almost every single episode, including the very first, "An Unearthly Child." I remember when the show was on PBS.

I like this new version of Doctor Who okay, but I would like it more if it wasn’t for the RoseXDoctor shippines in the new series. I’m old school, and I feel that the writers should not make an entire story arc involving the Doctor having a romantic relationship with a companion. Rose is likable, but the whole romance thing that started up rubs me the wrong way. I find it nauseating.

Episodes of the new series that I really like include "Blink," several episodes of the current season, and "The End of the World," with Christopher Eccleston. I find Eccleston to be an awesome Doctor.

well the whole arc wasn’t about their relationship, yeah she was in love with him and yeah he believes he could love her but the Rose arc was more about something else which is revealed in the season finale of the forth series

MAN I’M NOT GOING TO FALL FOR THIS JOKE!

i dont really like eccleston, David T is much happier and he is very bright.

And, btw, what are you on about gara?

I admit, I’m a fan and watch the series when I can, but I feel like Eccleston was more of a childish fun loving take on the doctor, focusing more on the fact he can go anywhere, meet anyone and that Tennant put in a more serious, emotional variety of takes, from the lonely last of his kind to an all knowing sly fox who can get himself and his friends out of most situations.
I enjoy some of the classics when they’re on too.

I’m not a HARDCOOOOOOOOORE fan though.

I’m not a HARDCOOOOOOOOORE fan though.

I guess you could say im a HARDCOOOOOOOOORE fan though.

Well I’m more a Whovian than a hardcore fan, the sci-fi geek type who one day WILL go to a convention whether people like it or not haha! The type who has a replica [not plastic] Fob Watch as used in the 3rd series of the current format etc… so yeah, I doubt even hardcore covers myself! 😛

Series 4 [or 30 depending on how you want to look at it] is rather hit and miss in my opinion… there are some fantastic episodes during it’s run [Silence in the Library springs to mind], yet there were some absolutley rubbish ones at the same time [Midnight anyone?].

I personally think the best modern series so far is the second, although Donna is a superb companion, the original run for Rose was just sheer brilliance with Tennant. Episodes like New Earth, Girl in the Fireplace, Doomsday… all classics, a quality they sadly seem to have not matched since. It’s been good don’t get me wrong, but no series has been consistant as that one.

And while you’re all watching series 4… I can now only look forward to Return of the Cyberman at Christmas, and then a measily 3 episodes next year… hmph!

well Bank holiday specials I believe they called it, not sure what that means though since I live in the US and Bank Holiday to me sound like days the bank is closed and we have a holiday or two that closes the banks every month but one

I’ve only been watching since daleks in Manhattan last season, but since that ive been renting out as many as possible.

and three episodes next year!! im shocked. tell me more!

its part of a plan to keep the show fresh, they have a light load in 2009 and come back with a new set of 13 episodes for 2010

i became a pretty fair fan of the series, recently… like real recently.
maybe a few months ago.

like the series. it’s fun to watch.
good twist and plot and humor.

heck i even grew out my sideburns (i don’t usually do that) it relates to doctor who, trust me. just a long story that no one would want to hear/read.

thats bad.

im sorry about the name, at the time i wasnt really thinking straight, and didnt expect the thread to do too well. If i could change the name now, i would.

The thread is still on page one after a month. If this is your standard for doing well, you really set the bar low.

GET OUT OF MY THREAD YOU BASTARD

noskillbassist let them have their Doctor Who thread!

If you post in it anymore it’ll make it two pages.

thanks.

hey guys! do you like my new name!?

i should probably look it up, but what’s the meaning or reason of the name?

From Wikipedia
In The Armageddon Factor, the Time Lord Drax addresses the Fourth Doctor as "Thete", short for "Theta Sigma". He is called by this name again in the Paul Cornell novel Goth Opera; later, in The Happiness Patrol, this was clarified as a nickname from the Doctor’s University days. In Remembrance of the Daleks the Seventh Doctor produces a calling card with a series of pseudo-Greek letters inscribed on it (as well as a stylised question mark). This may be a reference to Terrance Dicks’ and Malcolm Hulke’s book The Making of Doctor Who (1972), which claims that the Doctor’s true name is a string of Greek and mathematical symbols.

’tis possibly one of the doc’s true names.

could be I doubt we’ll ever hear it said. After all this time it will just be kind of anti climatic. They’ll never be able to come up with a name that will make everyone happy

I’m with you on this one. The fandom would explode with wank if they ever revealed his true name.

And to be honest, I don’t really want to know. He’s the Doctor, and that’s enough for me 🙂

Just to be clear, I do like the name Theta Sigma. But I’d like to think it’s just what the canon’s been implying so far, a memory of his days in the Academy, and not his real name.

its as close as i could get to his real name, and yes, i too would hate it if they did reveal his real name.

btw, ruttokoira, it is not the tardis, but a or your tardis. it is not the only one.

well technically there is only the one TARDIS now, as far as we know.

Season finale airs on Friday in the US.

I’m well aware. It’s just a nod to my days as a crappy Nine ljRPer, as 99% of the time his location was ‘the TARDIS’ 🙂

well technically there is only the one TARDIS now, as far as we know.

i know, but it wasnt always like that.

CRAP! in Australia were only up to the poison sky.

hey, is your avatar chris eccleston?

hey, is your avatar chris eccleston?

Mine? Hell yes it is 😀 *is a dorky Ecclesfan*

i havent watched any eps with him. i want 2 though

I do hope you get the chance. He was fantastic~
(And tbh, as much as I love Ten, Nine will still always be My Doctor :))

david t is really good.

i wonder why chris was only for one series?

hey guys, in series one to this series, wot do u think is the best ep?

i loved utopia/sound of drums/last of the time lords.

Oh, Tennant is brilliant; his Doctor is adorkable, but there’s still that darker side, which surfaces on occasion. And he pulls that off well.
..yet, I do believe Eccleston did that even better. He could really show us all the sides of the Doctor’s personality. To me, he was everything the Doctor is supposed to be.

As for why he only stayed for one series, I’ve read somewhere CE himself isn’t a huge fan of the series, he mostly took the job ’cause he wanted a challenging role, and to work with RTD.
I’d love to see him in Who again, maybe in a special (like Time Crash, with Five)?

And fave ep, yes! This is a tough one, but.. I guess it’s the S1 two-parter The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances. Jack’s intro! Dancing Doctor! "Everybody lives!" 😀

i really want to watch eccleston.

edit

oh, and they didnt broadcast time crash in aus!!!!

oh, and they didnt broadcast time crash in aus!!!!

Aw man, that sucks. Check youtube? It may be short, but seriously, it’s worth a watch; Tennant and Peter Davison are both amazing, and it’s written by Moffat! Lots of references to old!Who and hilarious dialogue between the Doctors 😀

nah, i have crap download limits.

lol the transition from you to me

being as to how i’m still pretty new to the series, i haven’t seen every episode.
but it would be interesting if they brought in all the people who played the doctor in an episode(or a few). from the very first to now.
that’s just a thought i figure i’d throw out there.

so far my favorite episode was that one where they were in a mine or something where to humans and some creatures were fighting each other and they were cloning themselves so that more troops could fight and the doctors clone is a bad ass chick. well the episode was something like that, oh, and the doctor had revealed that he had children before. that was cool episode.

hey guys, ive just rented series 1,2 and 3 from my library, so i can copy them! yay. AND, im downloading series 4 RIGHT NOW!

but it would be interesting if they brought in all the people who played the doctor in an episode(or a few). from the very first to now.
that’s just a thought i figure i’d throw out there.

hartnell is probably dead.

hartnell is probably dead.

Yup, he died 1975 (aged 67). Troughton and Pertwee (Two and Three, respectively) are dead as well. Baww 🙁

wow, i just guessed. Thats sad.

yeah Hartnell would have been 100 this year if he hadn’t died.

An interesting fact though
William Hartnell was 67
Patrick Troughton was 67, he died in 1987 at a Doctor Who convention in Georgia.
Jon Pertwee was 76, he died in 1996
Tom Baker is 74 right now
Peter Davison is 57 now
Colin Baker is 65 now but I doubt he’d come back he looks very different.
Sylvester McCoy is 64 and looks great I can see him coming back as the Doctor
Paul McGann is 48 and since he was only in the TV Film he could come in at anytime it wouldn’t matter how much he’s aged, which isn’t all that much.
then of course we have Christopher Eccleston and the current Doctor David Tennant.

So really only maybe 3 other Doctors could show up again, 4 if Peter came back for another one.

I’d love to see McCoy back; an episode with Five, Seven, Nine and Ten would be a dream come true 🙂

i havent seen any eps with 1 through 8.

if only the docotrs lived for ever so they could have a massive reunion.

i just watched the poison sky and its was good. The valiant reminded me of utopia/sound of drums/last of the time lords. yay.

SONTAR-HA

I’ve been watching the classics on DVD, I’m up to the 3rd Doctor about to go into the 4th.

nice. i dont know where to rent them.

in the US I get then via Netflix, a rental service that ships DVD’s to you with no late fees. You watch them when you want and mail them back when finished.

ok. we dont have stuff like that in aus i dont think.

That would be kind of surprising, I know most countries have the mail rental service

You can also catch some episodes on youtube it just takes some wording, typing in Doctor who along with the name of an episode should get most of the ones that are out. Sadly most of the 1st and 2nd Doctor’s episodes are lost, either destroyed or misplaced. The BBC destroyed most of the master tapes to clear up space in the 70’s

actually, we do i found.

HOW DARE THEY DESTROY DOCTOR WHO!!!!!!

thet doctors daughter was on abc last night. it was good, but the fishy hath were retarded. Jenny’s regeneration looked like vomiting. i hope they bring her back next series or sumthin.

..anyone here read Blogtor Who? Your thoughts on the latest rumours?

I hope it’s true, all of it. Seriously, I squealed out loud when I read about the possible cast, it’s that awesome 😀

I haven’t yet, I’ll go and check it out

HOW DARE THEY DESTROY DOCTOR WHO!!!!!!.

They didn’t have a choice as the BBC Television Studios had a fire decades ago, and roughly half of their master copies were lost in it. Wasn’t just Doctor Who, but other programmes such as Red Dwarf were also lost in the fires.

ok.

last night i watched the unicorn and the wasp on abc. i didnt really enjoy it. it was like the equivalent of blink from s3.

i give it 4/10. From now on im going to rate the episodes according to my thoughts

your coming up on what I thought was the best episodes of the season.

the fire did play a large role, but they also erased a good deal of the masters since they had no concept that they could release them first as VHS Tapes and then DVD’s

Yeah, quite a few of the older serials of the 1st to I believe the 4th Doctor are incomplete due to whole episodes being lost. They are doing what they can to restore them. actually one of the more interesting ways they are doing this is with the audio dramas. You see while VHS wasn’t even a thought back then and thus there was hardly any copies of the master film, Records were around and with the audio Dramas being popular, that actually saved the audio recordings of the actor and actresses from the actual recorded episodes.

So what one group is doing is taking the audio recordings and then adding animation to it. It’s an interesting idea and I would like to see the results. BTW some old who trivia for you: my name is actually based off of one of The Master’s many guises. Name the episode if you can.

The Daemons? Where Delgado!Master is posing as the vicar, Mr. Magister?

Yep. Allways glad to see the old school Who fans up and about. Also, the Daemons happens to be one of my favorites.

I’ve been watching the classics on Netflix and Youtube.

I got the audio recording of the 10th planet

i haven’t seen anything below series 2 (TENNANT)

series one, two and three have come in at my local library, so im gonna watch them.
i’m also going to try get hold of some of the classic series.

hope you find a way to see them

so do i.

oh yeah, James-Luc Picard made me an awesome new sig

do all of you guys use ms windows? Personally i hate it. i use Ubuntu Linux.

looks good

sooo… update. i’ve watched series one up to ‘Dalek’ and theyre pretty good. David T is still about a million times better than eccleston.

OWW! my head hurts… so much Doctor Who. I am just about to watch bad wolf in series one.

one thing i have realized is that eccleston is a bit darker than tennant because, for example, in ‘Dalek’ he really went off at that dalek and really wanted to kill it, while david t’s doc didnt really want to kill anything (except for that bit at the end of the doctors daughter, but nevertheless he said he never would).

Finished series one.

found these if anyone wants them.

i got full series 4 and about to copy 1 and 2.

watched Christmas invasion and children in need special.

Neat pictures there Sigma. Quite a find. Hmm, I wonder if I should watch the 5 doctors again?

i havent seen that 1 yet.

Neither have I, well the entire thing, only caught the last 20 minutes. about 4 years ago or something when I actually watched TV.

BARCELONA!

I saw The 5 doctors online a few months ago nice episode, not a fan of the idea of replacing the 1st Doctor with another actor. Might be why we haven’t had another one.

Nice sigs, If I had Photoshop I might be able to whip something up like that, but I use a free Paint.NET works good and I have some nice looking sigs.

I’ll have to pull up the ones I did for Doctor Who some time

nice

up to ‘the army of ghosts’ in s2

ah getting into the last episodes of season 2.

finished season 2. still waiting to get s3.

good, I just re watched The Runaway Bride yesterday

ive nearly finished watching "Forest Of The Dead" in s4.

love that episode along with its companion episode

so do i.

"ice cream. ice cream. ice cream" sez miss evangalista or whatever the hell she is called.

pretty close

what do you mean by that?

her name, that was pretty close to what her name is

ok

i finished series 4!

i love the german daleks, and when donna made the daleks spin around.

yeah those were interesting Freema had a tough time doing the German too.

rofl

I saw some clips from the read through online, the Voice of the Dalaks got cheers and laughs and Feema and to follow that

Well I am big Dr Who fan so I will help to keep the thread alive. Tom Baker may not have been the best of the doctors but I think the shows they made during his time where. I am not sure I like the newest of them, he has become to human. Go back and watch a few of the first doctor’s shows, you will see what I mean.

hey guys, for some abnormally strange reason, i cant create new threads!

Nice to see Doctor Who getting some love round here. I dunno how I missed out on this thread for so long, what with this show being my all time favorite (since 1994).

Can’t wait for the Christmas special, and am looking forward to the four specials in 2009.

From here (http://community.livejournal.com/doctorwho/3962289.html).

They’ve got that from the official email that subscribers were sent a few days back, which did confirm a Torchwood eske pre-release download. So no need to worry, 320kbps downloads will be available in the next few weeks.

I’ve pre-ordered the CD personally, got the last 2 so gonna add to the collection haha. Also pre-ordered the Merlin soundtrack as I think that’s just as good.

The doctor has a daughter? Was this revelation made before?

The doctor has a daughter? Was this revelation made before?

Yes, in the first episode of series one of the Original Doctor Who, where we are introduced to Susan, The Doctor’s grand-daughter. This means he had to have a daughter in order to have a grand-daughter.

The Episode "The Doctor’s daughter" on the other hand, is about a female clone that is made from some of the Doctor’s DNA and other genetic material [made without his permission of course.]

Also, as a interesting tidbit, I decided to dress as the Tenth Doctor this Halloween. I think I was the only one in Hawaii that had a Doctor Who themed costume.

I LOVE the Doctor <3

All votes on who the new doctor will be?

PS I voted for Tom Baker as the best Doc, but Tennant comes a close second

People I know online are rooting for

Stephen Fry
Bill Bailey
and David Mitchell

I’ve got the whole collection of Davros audio dramas, should I rip them as MP4 or MP3?

I had to change my vote after watching a lot of his Episodes you can now download on the 360.

Nope this was truly the best doctor !!

Jon Pertwee played the Third Doctor Who from 1970 to 1974. He was 50 years old when he begun playing the role. He was born July 7th, 1919 and died in his sleep May 20th 1996 at the age of 76 in his New York hotel room while attending a Doctor Who convention. His Doctor Who episodes were the first to be produced in color, and the only Doctor from that era to have the least number of episodes missing. The majority of his adventures were Earth-bound, as the TimeLords were punishing him for stealing the TARDIS in an earlier incarnation. His turn at the Series gave us major villians still used today, such as "The Master" and "The Sontarans", and one of the fan’s most favorite companions, Sarah Jane Smith, and also took U.N.I.T. well beyond two guest-appearances from the Patrick Troughton days.

I’ve got the whole collection of Davros audio dramas, should I rip them as MP4 or MP3?

MP3 would probably be more compatible with most computers software… not everyone likes using iTunes for some reason. I’d be fine with both, but MP3 would be better for everyone if you’re willing to do so please. 🙂

Personally, I was hoping Simon Pegg would get the consideration myself!

..I hadn’t even thought of Simon Pegg. Man, that’d be interesting to see.

But yeah, Dylan Moran is my number one choice (preferably with Bill Bailey as his companion. Black Books ftw!). We need an Irish Doctor~

The actor succeeding David Tennant has just been revealed;

Eleven = MATT SMITH! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Smith_(British_actor))

Only 26 years old, he’s the youngest Doctor so far. Man, I was hoping for a crusty old man 🙁

I really like the look of the new Doctor… reminds me of an eccentric character, somewhat Paul McGann like.

And the photoshoot he’s done with the TARDIS proves that it’s going to be a much darker and scarier product, which I was hoping for really!

Kinda got sick of David constantly going "I’m sorry… I’m so so sorry" every time someone pulled their bottom lip out haha!

No overall I’m looking forward to Spring 2010, time for a revamp anyway!

Wow, he’s the 11th? That ought to be intresting indeed.

Sylvester McCoy ftw :/

Also, after watching the recent Christmas Special I’m taking it upon myself to start downloading every episode of the recent reboot soon. I’ll work my way through them so I’ll be fit to geek out here soon with you all.

Also, anyone know where I can download some of the classic series?

FANKS

Does anyone else mind .MP4 except for littlesmegger?

Do not know if its only in USA but all the old Dr Who’s are no on the Netflix that is part the 360′ menu. Works great and for 9 bucks a month you can just watch them a lot easier then downloads.

Btw I was surprised to find out there is a large portion of the episodes totally missing from the series. I have seen a few that they reconstructed from TV shows that people had taped recorded with animation done over the top. Totally amazed me to hear that they might be gone forever.

In 2001 there was a fire in the BBC Television Centre that managed to destroy several archives of television programmes. Some of which obviously being Doctor Who.

The Beeb have since asked fans of programmes to send in copes they may have taped on VHS to help back up a list of lost series, but the Doctor Who lost episodes were before this type of VHS backup were possible. And so animators have since made it an effort to use still exsisting audio tapes to create animated replicas of the episodes.

Here being an example of this: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=qMAhFZ2blYA

Also the BBC are starting to digitally restore a lot of the B&W classic series, and bring them to their full colour glory. But there’ll be some time before that kind of content became public I’d think.

The lost episode had nothing to do with the fire but seems copies where just sent out and no originals kept. A lot of the series has been redone on DVD and I have seen many of them. They are not btw amateurs doing the restored animated episodes, but have been working with BBC using the some actually soundtracks and some home tape recordings. (http://www.restoration-team.co.uk) There is a great mini show on the 2nd DVD of the Invasion explaining the process with some the people who even turned in the cassettes they made with a mic pressed up to the TV.

Released:
6th November 2006

The release of The Invasion onto DVD heralded the first time an incomplete story had been released on its own. When the story was originally released onto VHS, Nicholas Courtney was drafted in to briefly fill in the blanks left by the two missing episodes, but this time around something far more ambitious was in order, with Cosgrove Hall, who had earlier collaborated with the BBC on the webcast Scream of the Shalka, being called in to produce animated versions of Episodes One and Four, using their still surviving soundtracks.

Next time quote someone when you have your facts right.

http://rgonots-sylph.net/forums/images/smilies/thedoctor.gif

Well my facts are still accurate, episodes were destroyed in the fire, regardless of what you’ve seen. I was fully aware of who has done the restoration on the episodes and didn’t actually say they were amateurs, you have added that in yourself.

And secondly, there’s no need really for the small fonted remark at the end, telling me what I can and can’t do, as if I took your quote out of context or something. I merely used it as a reference as to why I was posting.

But fair enough, if you wanna sound cocky on here then do so. Wont win you any prizes or brownie points either way…

far enough you was first and dont need anything from you brownies or other wise 😛

And so animators have since made it an effort to use still exsisting audio tapes to create animated replicas of the episodes.

Your "facts" are wrong misleading … go watch the documentaries on the dvd’s from the guys who did all the shows, i have… you have not obviously…

unsubscribed to this thread cause of you calling me "cocky" dont need that noise

I AM OFFICIALLY BACK

sorry guys. i ve been on www.wiihacks.com for ages and i havnt come back here. I have succeeded in entering my thread safely after infiltrating the shrine…

btw, i have seen every episode after 2005 now.

holy shit!!!!i still cant create threads!!!

Mwuahahaha

Yes, I’m feeding the trolls. SUE ME.

what?

I’m currently still watching the first season but I’m just about to watch "The Empty Child". So far I’m really loving it though. It’s a great mix of slapstick, cheesy and fun sci-fi but you also get some genuinely moving and disturbing episodes, much like "Fathers Day" and "The Unquiet Dead".

So yeah, I’m loving it so far.

are you my mummy?

Sylvester McCoy must be my all time favorite, since it’s when I started watching the show when it would air on pbs when I was a kid. David Tennant is also really amazing. The new episodes have a charm thanks to new technology the old seasons could only dream of. I would love it if a new set of dvds could be put together of the whole run. *sigh*

OMFG NEG IS BANNED

The eastern special is finally comming this month!!!!! Cant wait!!!

LOL, hi Mooglemage~

LOL, hi Mooglemage~

LOL, im definitely not LOLing.

Well too fucking bad we LOL’d 10 days ago. We can’t LOL that much.

Also when I posted that I forgot to put it in yellow text.

LOL IM SO BORED MY OTHER WEBSITE (WHICH IM STAFF OF) ISNT ACTIVE @ THE MOMENT

I have been fan since i was a kid in the sixties, i got depressed when it was off the screens, yes i really am that sad. I think the series has always been hit and miss but all the better when the producers got it right, scuse me while i plot to build a Dalek

I’d be interesting if Matt Smith was added to the poll, but David Tennant is the Tom Baker of this new generation. Plus of course, he’s fan friendly and loves the show! Pertwee is still my fave, but DT ‘is’ The Doctor for the 21st century!

Why can’t the BBC put on some of the old Doctor Who , how can you vote for your favorite Doctor when you don’t know al his incarnations. I have a TV rip of Patrick Troughton in ‘The Dominators’ this came from a show called Breakfast With The Baldies from Australia, respect due! As a footnote it is a fact that the missing episodes were taped over because of financial reasons by the BBC, i do not know what damage the fire caused so i can’t comment, i have all the Loose Canon reconstructions and all the early BBC dvd’s, even remember some from first time round Galifrean greetings to you all!

@Cap: Because much of the ‘Classic’ Doctor Who has been destroyed or only mediocre version remain and what-not.

If you want a thread where you can download all of them, let me know.

If you are going to quote, please cite your references.

The Doctor Who missing episodes are the installments of the long-running British science-fiction television programme Doctor Who that have no known film or videotape copies. They were wiped (or "junked") by the BBC during the 1960s and 1970s for economic and space-saving reasons. ~ Doctor Who missing episodes – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who_missing_episodes)
Other classics were also lost. See: The British TV Missing Episodes Index (http://www.btinternet.com/~m.brown1/eplist.htm)

The BBC is not the only one that destroyed, or is destroying, archives. It was a common practice in the days of expensive storage, no archiving preservatives, when films & tapes were bulky. Disney recently made some acquisitions stipulated with the condition Disney not be responsible for archive preservation. Leaving the fate of back catalogs in doubt. ~cite?

Even with only the soundtrack, The Massacre of St Bartholomew’s Eve (William Hartnell, 1966) was voted one of The Best Doctor Who Stories. The 10 greatest episodes of Doctor Who ever – Telegraph (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/3674193/The-10-greatest-episodes-of-Doctor-Who-ever.html)

Right now, I’m liking Sylvester McCoy. But, there is a Doctor Who for every mood!

My favourite Doctor is always the one I’m watching at the time!

I used to be a firm PD fan but then his soon to be son-in-law and totally made me into a 5 AND 10 fangirl. I still love PD. He cannot be replaced at all, but DT is just too awesome and as far as I am concerned it’s a dead on tie, those two! I like other Doctors too, but those two are "my" Doctors.

Fourth Doctor – Tom Baker: (8 June 1974 ??? 21 March 1981)

M…O…G:

You cant define time the closest i can come up with is its a wibblywobbly timeywimmy sort of thing….

Is anyone keeping up with Doctor Who? I was really liking the new episodes, but lately it seems that the writers of the show are taking idea right off tumblr and fandom blogs. Is anyone else getting this vibe? I’m not sure I like it. It was already cheesy to begin with, but I fear it’s getting a bit fan-servicey now.

I’ve been re-watching all my DVDs in alphabetical order and I’m just finishing up the "C"s and I have to admit the huge expanse of Doctor Who that lies ahead is fairly daunting (has anyone ever added up the total number of hours?) It will be interesting to see how the old ones hold up compared to my memory of them. I am looking forward to re-watching Tom Baker though. It’s been ages.

Looking forward to the Cybermen returning in April, hopefully not in the same manner as the toy Daleks from Series 6.

It has always, to some extent pandered to its fans and their wants and needs, I dont think it is a bad thing providing it doesn’t become mired in its own history, indeed many of the new series production crew and writers are long term dedicated fans of the original series.

Agreed. All shows have to some extend serve their fanbase, otherwise how would they continue?

Though I have liked some of them, I would like to see a alien non-female companion.

Depends…are we talking audio dramas and comics?

Because I think the 8th and 10 Doctor both had alien, female, companions.

Yes Eight travelled with Charley and C’rizz for a while in the audios. The first one was human (and female), the second was a Eutermisan (?) and male. I’m sure he had other non-female alien companions.
Ten travelled with a green looking lady whose name now escapes me in the DWM comics.

But the other Doctors had non-female alien companions too, on television. Turlough wasn’t from Earth if I remember correctly, and neither was Adric. And if alien counts for robots then Kamelion and K-9 fit the description too 😛

I agree though that it would be a nice thing to repeat!

Got some sad news for you Burnie… the admins over at Bolt have deleted both Doctor Who clubs, and all the threads/postings…. quoting lack of postings…strangely they still kept sending "give us money" PM’s

If this is to be the new site, should we send some PM’s about, and invite, the others we want here?, or do we want a new thread all together?

That’s good then. do you think we should invite those trusted ones then?

Here works for me, if nobody objects,
and no-one else wants the thread – it can be the new ‘Discussion thread, and we can decide 1 or 2 sites for d/l, with RWQ….
Those not invited don’t get into d/l sites…..
If we spread the word around, the last 4 pages of ffs audio drama can be forgotten….

What we have to do is help each other. And stop with the flaming critiques. Everybody has a bad day. Ignore those posts from people sharing a bad day. Move on and help spread the Doctor Who goodness. Give a hand to the polite, but needy.

RE: bad day/week/month…(time travelers may experience longer down time). Shucks, Doctor Who had some bad regenerations, too. (ie: the War Doctor, ect.).

<hr size=6 color=green>Maybe what we need to start is a new site for flaming Doctor Who. A place where you don’t need to be polite. A place where the grumpy can vent, hammer, slam, critique and generally just kiss kick some random butt! ie; dalekshatedoctorwho.com (http://www.dalekshatedoctorwho.com/)

That’s good then. do you think we should invite those trusted ones then?

How would an invite work? If here is freely available but the d/l thread is closed except to invites then what happens when you don’t invite someone? Here becomes a war zone again. In particular I’m thinking that the so far unjustified "clique" allegation becomes more relevant.

For myself, a discussion thread is needed first, the d/l thread is a secondary, most of us have a way of receiving d/l at this time… invite only??, who would we want out?

I leave it to Ex Me, for his reply and to others, who drop in with different views, to the group as a whole to determine the end result…. or we can keep the status quo, which is in effect at the moment.

Engaging discussion with the kiddos about the ontological paradox of the FEZ in Day of the Doctor.

The Fez’s life goes something like this:
1. Wait around in the vault to be discovered by 11*;
2. Get thrown back to the middle ages to meet 10*;
3. Get tossed, dropped, buried, and recovered centuries later, and placed in the vault;
4. Go back to #1.

The Fez has no beginning.

At every iteration, the fez gets handled and worn a little bit more. Although the doctor goes through a regeneration in-between, the fez has no renewal and just keeps getting more worn.

After a gazillion iterations, the 11th * might not care to pick up the worn out fez anymore, letting it escape the loop…?

———- Post added at 09:43 AM ———- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ———-

* Nubering system follows pre-2013 conventions.

a gazillion iterations,

Surely the point is that there’s only one continuous loop not a gazillion iterations of the same events? Everyone experiences their part in the sequence once only, the fez is removed from the display once, the fez travels back in time, the fez is recovered and placed on display. Each event happens one time and forms a continuous loop of cause and effect. A paradox sure but the fez won’t wear out because it didn’t.

I want to agree, but that’s the paradox. If MS so much as frays the hem in putting on the fez (does a fez even have a hem?), there is no point in its subsequent history when that hem gets unfrayed. Being continuous, the cycle has no identifiable reset point at which such a [worn -> new] jump might occur.

Are you suggesting that because the fez is caught in a repeating time loop, it is impervious to physical change?

BTW – Do not mistake my timey wimey confusion for any kind of authoritative argumentation. I only understand this well enough to keep the kiddos thinking. 🙂

– "Kill the Fez!"

– "Sorry, mate, it’s a fixed point in time."

Are you suggesting that because the fez is caught in a repeating time loop, it is impervious to physical change?

It’s an interesting point. From everyone’s perspective each event occurs once but I suppose, were the fez sentient, from it’s point of view it goes repeatedly through the loop. However within that viewpoint each action occurs in exactly the same fashion each time ie the fez never gets frayed and never ages since it wasn’t frayed and aged the one time that everybody but the fez experienced the event. From this we must conclude that, within the temporal loop, time does not progress endlessly but must reset each time through.

If it’s impervious to physical change how come River blew the crap out of it? Or did she just seemingly destroy it but in reality throw it forward (or backwards) in time for the Doc to find it again (or for the first time).

Maybe OCD was the problem in the first place.

We know who, and what the problems were…..we just couldn’t ‘push them away’

(does a fez even have a hem?) Maybe. A felt fez has no hem, it is not sewn. A fabric fez does need hems. Both date back to the Ottoman Empire with roots in classic Greece. The Doctor’s fez appears to be made in the felt style.

Go on then. What have you got against blondes?

Has this become a pointless thread again now?
It pitches and weaves, but it is always pointless. So has the Valeyard been discounted as a regeneration? Or might it still be an unseen, not talked about, event?

Point #2 (haha, fooled you point/pointless counters)
Sometimes I think the poster should have to declare his/her quality and quantity of inebriation state.

When I see a post that I don’t like, I blame Nobber and his free virtual pints.

You remember all that fuss people were making about the day of the doctor poster showing hurt with a red light on his screwdriver? Then the episode played and it meant nothing? I watched my brand spanking new blu ray of the ep just after Christmas and figured it out. Matt has green, David has blue, and therefore Hurt needed something else. I guess yellow in a war zone would have been the wrong signal.

Peter Capaldi was on set today for his first full day of filming on #DoctorWho… Full story at BBC – Blogs – Doctor Who – Peter Capaldi begins filming on Doctor Who (http://bbc.in/1acinYR) pic.twitter.com/LeLCGYxx3w

Obviously still in Matt’s outfit…was hoping to catch a glimpse of his new outfit. I do like, btw, the way in which Steven Moffat has ever so gradually undone what RTD did and now the Doctor is back in Edwardian frock coats travelling round with a teacher from Coal Hill School.

Day of the Doctor Question:

So when the 13 Doctors stashed their home planet away in some temporal fjord within a painting, thereby letting the Daleks exterminate each other, did that also stash away crazy Timothy Dalton with his I’m-gonna-give-everybody-their-ultimate-comeuppance-with-my Gauntlet-of-Rassilon (c.f. End of Time)?

And Who wants to spring that lethal jack-in-the-box?

This is definitely a brain twister of sorts. I wonder if Moffat will bring it up somehow!

They may have used a throwaway line in the special to shove that in a box. Something along the lines of "the high council’s plans have failed". Of course, Hurt would still on about it but then I guess they didn’t want to waste time on stuff we already knew was sorted.

yay peter capaldi!

Would the failure of their diabolical plans make them revert to their earlier non-aggressive personalities? Or is it now a "Home" populated by evil (albeit thwarted) maniacs hell-bent on universal destruction that the doc is longing to find his way back to?

Talk about your awkward family dinners.

A Time War gives you 2 headaches…
1, you have to keep going further back into you history to gain an advantage, until you come to a point where it never started and thus can’t finish, a perpetual war for all time
2, Your leaders become your creators, and vica versa….. Davros from Genesis and Rassilon from ‘The Old Time’…. The Dalek Army are single minded and the Time Lords are easily led, in their desire for Status Quo…..

[yes I can see the rock/pop/Country band names]

If you ignore the frequent garbage of nuWho, and concentrate on the characteristics of the 2 groups, as put forward in 40 years, of the 50 years, of the show….you will see what I mean 🙂

The Time Lords are never refered to ‘peace loving’ – just not interested in others apart from themselves… and
daleks outside of the group structure, self-destruct,- not self control or self determine…

Jenna Colman in a ‘Columbia’ outfit :), Peter Calpadi in the fishnets and panties….not so much, but that’s just me…..

Jenna Colman in a Riff Raff outfit could do me!

Should do me!

Sorry……WOOD do me!

How would an invite work? If here is freely available but the d/l thread is closed except to invites then what happens when you don’t invite someone? Here becomes a war zone again. In particular I’m thinking that the so far unjustified "clique" allegation becomes more relevant.

I think I am being misunderstood. I mean by letting those know to come here (and not having those who just want to make trouble for troubles’ sake).

I do like the new outfit. It seems nice.

If by everyone who mean the six people who keep and eye on this thread…

Yes, that’ll be us…. keeping the bolthole active, waiting for the next shite-fight to shut down DW Audio Thread… but no-one comes to talk to us 🙁 we must have cooties….

Yeah, boy cooties!

Hank Hill: Does she have cooties?
Bobby Hill: What are cooties?
Hank Hill: You know, the germs girls have.
Bobby Hill: You mean gonorrhea?

Has there been any news as to when the new series will start? I can’t find anything apart from a vague "third part of the year" comment.

It’s gonna be weird not having Doctor Who in the spring this year. I know it doesn’t happen every year, but it’s happened often enough for it to be set in my head as a time Who is shown…

Every year I think there should be an Easter Special COMING SOON……Ho..hummm.

I know, I feel the same.

And Who wants to spring that lethal jack-in-the-box?

It was stated by the Commander of the Gallifrean forces during the Daleks seige of Gallifrey that the High Council had implemented their own plans abandoning Gallifrey and the commoners to the Daleks. Which I assumed was the whole mess with the Master reincarnated/resurrected and their coming thru that 10 foiled. So, I sorta figured that they were no longer on Gallifrey when 11 & the War Doctor stashed it. Now ‘where’ they boomeranged back to when 10 cut the link…Rassilon only knows! 😀

Not much happening here…

I like the new season. 12th doc is cool. Can’t wait for the Daleks.

Good episode – Into the Kaled…

Really liked all the episodes that I’ve seen for the 8th series so far (completed and workprint versions) – Capaldi is rocking it. I hope he does more than one series.

I like how those ‘skittle’ D. ain’t showing up anymore.

Though, that last episode, I don’t know.
I dug it, but it did feel kind of weak towards the end.

I Liked the Dalek Episode. Different Approach to The Doctor/Dalek Relationship. Capaldi Is An Excellent Doctor! Dark And A Bit Of A Mysterious Side.

@Witchdoctor?
Love The Avatar & Sig (Gif) 🙂

[Bursts through the door:]
"W(H)OO!! Fashionably late, but "time is relati…"

*cobwebs and dark, dusty corners are all there is*

"I uh… well, ok then."

[Slowly backs out door.]

[BURSTS BACK IN!]
"Well, since no one is here to disagree; SECOND D0CT0R is BEST! And I voted!"

[Backs out door again, closes them with a final-sounding ‘click’.]

Ain’t nobody here 🙁

Anyone? After all these years?

I’m just getting into it. And loving it!

They are out visiting the fifth dimension

It took forever to find actual 25fps stuff.

The rest were all converted and sped up for North America.
You can really hear it.

it’s the most addictive thing right now since Stargate SG1.
there’s a lot of neat scifi shows out there, and other series, but this one I can definitely see myself trying to collect.
Even if I have to import it for the proper editions.

Dw is a real classic some of the first 8 doctors have some good stories as well

I so so so want to like this show … but I just can’t get into it. I am a huge nerd and this should be right up my alley. But when I watch them it is like watching paint dry.
