Doctor Who 50th (part 2)

[LetZygonsbeZygons]

Yessss! we reached 10000 posts! I was in the middle of one when it came up it was not rreceiving any more!.

okay, can we carry on?

Sontaran that SJA episode was brilliant wasn't it? most SJA episodes were better than DW ! aaargh! mostly written by Russel TD.

I do like the Moff, hes written some gooduns- the gas mask episodes, Blink, but lately........

"It's bollocks, basically "

Mavis what you on about?

Ha! Sorry, I just thought PaulMcGannsMistress's summing up, further up the thread, about the attempts to reconcile the narrative continuity issues over the last few seasons was funny.

It wasn't a general comment or owt!

now that the tardis emoticons gone was wondering what the available ones we could use as WHO stuff.

weve got the one for Matt Smiths jammie dodgers (ooh that sounds rude!)

we could use the one for William Hartnell as he said 'hmm' a lot!

for David Tennant as he needed a nice hot cuppa to recover from regenerating (my own theory is that this was a nod to HHTTTG, as was him fighting in his pj's, Douglas Adams having been a Dr Who script editor).

reminds me of Tom Baker, somehow!

*HHGTTG

Surely some would say that the all-eyes-and-teeth-school-of-acting-DT could be

You wouldn't catch me saying that though..

Sontaran, you're probably right about the tea thing. Didn't Douglas Adams write some Doctor Who episodes at some stage?

God I'm thick, if I'd read your post properly I'd have seen that you had already mentioned that

He is best know for more or less rewriting what became City of Death, which I also saw on its first transmission(s). This includes a cameo by John Cleese and Eleonor Bron, who admire the Tardis disappearing from an art gallery as a fine piece of modern art, IIRC.

has anyone seen the images that have been released for the Christmas special? I have seen no spoilers for the ep itself but the picture was interesting...

also - all this stuff about 9/10/11/12/13 - Moffat had it in the script for TDOTD that the Time Lords say "All 13 of them" when we see Capaldi, so I'm not sure how Moff can simultaneously say that actually 11 is 13 instead. I know he lies, but it would be contradicting the script he's just written ffs....

I think he's saying 11 is 12. There have been twelve regenerations including DT's regenerationette, but they've only resulted in twelve Doctors . Maybe?

All 13 would still allow for 'retiring' in an old face as the curator?

How about JH actually regenerated into PC who regenerated into CE and we're going to go back in time (!) for the new series? That would really screw with the numbers! :o

People would be scraping bits of their own brain off their TVs.

:)

It would explain why they didn't show JH regenerate into CE though... just sayin'...

Can you imagine?

They'd have to somehow get Clara back to be his companion though.

HHTTTG. erm whats that?

Yay we're still here!
I'm not quite ready to let go yet and have re watched a few times now picking up things I missed first time round at the cinema (turns out I missed a few fab one liners when ds spilt his drink, gurr!)
I have watched the 5ish doctors now and that was amazing fun.
I have am very looking forward to the Christmas special ;) (miss the TARDIS, want it back!)

Hitch-hiker's Guide To The Galaxy.

I missed the 5ish doctors, cant find it anywhere .
Niece were all going cold turkey aren't we?

we can still keep this thread going though as weve got the xmas one coming up and stuff.

thanks Adventure never watch hitch hikers (wasn't that the one with ex-mrs Davison)? or am I mixing it with red dwarf (another one ive never seen)

The TV version had the ex-Mrs Davison as Trillian, plus a guest appearance from Mr Davison as the Dish of the Day. But the original radio version (available on CD...) is where it's at for the true afficionado.

Douglas Adams wrote the whole of "City of Death" over a weekend when a contracted scriptwriter failed to deliver and production of the episodes had to start the next week . And it was recently voted third or fourth best DW story of all time, IIRC.
