The Doctor Who thread

He was very good indeed and all were good in it to be fair.

Some good casting with Reece Sheersmith as Patrick troughton.

Also a different Brian Cox (the actor this time and not a physicist)' a Dundonian of great repute and first Hannibal Lecter.

Excellent entertainment .. agree with @WYNIR0 about David Bradley .. maybe Peter Capaldi is just what Doctor Who needs. An older, darker Doctor. I watched episode one but I don't remember too much. However I do recall running round the playground of my primary school shouting 'exterminate' ... :-)

I still want Capaldi to be like he is in "In The Thick Of It" as the doctor.

"Oh great, another f***ing dalek... Didn't I kill you all a dozen f***king times? Shiny metal c***s!"

This is interesting ... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/doctor-who/10468029/Doctor-Who-50-things-you-didnt-know.html

Great quote from Terry Practhett - The Doctor has been transformed into a deus ex machina, fully equipped not with a scientific solution but with speed, fast talking and what appears to be that wonderful element makeitupasyougoalongeum.

An Adventure in Time and Space.    Quite enjoyed that.

Watched that now, very engaging. I only saw about half of the Culture Show Dr Who special last night. Usual fawning stuff but a couple of suprises (or less suprising in the wake of operation Yewtree).

I really enjoyed the short new mini-episode with Paul McGann. He would have made a great dr Who in the new regenerated series.

Excellent episode - I won't ruin it for those who've not watched it. Set up a new story arc .. liked the ending ... ;-)

thumpingrug

That was good.

Very good - although it does seem the dodgy plot bit was put in deliberately seeing as it was totally irrelevant.

Well played by all really.

Great setup for the next story arc, and it looks like they might finally be putting the whole Trenzalore thing to bed.

I don't think this is a spoiler, so....who saw the scarf and thought, "....what if?"

dodgy plot bit ?

I liked it a lot more than I expected to, as I gave up watching the last series.

Lixarto

Dodgy plot bit: the Kate Zygon having the activation code sent to her phone so Clara could use it to rescue the Doctors. Considering the door wasn't locked and they used the stasis cube to escape, wholly unnecessary.

(I knew Tom was in it, but wasn't told how. It was great.)

Paul_C

ah yes, that bit amused me as I was expecting her to pop up and rescue them, then it twisted to them sorting their own escape, then it twisted again. . .

I liked Billie Piper's performance in it too.

Lixarto

I'm pleased with what they did with Billie, as I never really liked Rose. That was a good twist.
