(After our antenatal thread became somewhat hijacked with talk of Doctor Who)

Hello,

My name's (usually) MsMoss and I've been a Doctor Who Geek for over twenty years now. I grew up with McCoy, stood by it through its years in the wilderness and now watch, proud but slightly bemused, as it is no longer shameful to admit you're a fan.

Anyone else with me? You love the new series but don't want the old to be forgotten?

Join me, stand up and be counted!

Oops thought I'd changed it in time
I love the uncyclopaedia!!!!!!!!

Just read a great thread on OG about favourite quotes whats yours? I have to say a good chunk of Girl in the fire place made me LOL!

Also just read that there is going to be a MIckey figure!

boredwithwaitingforminiMOSSY · 20/02/2007 09:26

Oooh now is it based on him sitting on a chair in his undies as in Rise of the Cybermen?

Favourite quotes: John Pertwee, anything along the lines of "reverse the polarity"!

The Doctor's "have I the right?" speech from Genesis of the Daleks, and its counterpart, Davros' "Yes - I would do it. That power would set me up above the gods" speech.

Ooh I'll have to have a think now Nikkie! That'll kill a few moments while I'm counting down the hours until I go on maternity leave! (Currently 65 working hours if you include dinnertime which in this place I pretty much have to!)

nikkie · 20/02/2007 14:35

UNfortuatly not ! He is as in the last episode 'actiontype ' Mickey

boredwithwaitingforminiMOSSY · 20/02/2007 15:59

Oh well never mind!

I see I wasn't the only one who thought, "oh 'ello!" at that bit in Rise of the Cybermen though!

Another favourite quote is, of course, "Lots of planets have a North"

nikkie · 20/02/2007 19:38

I liked that one too!
"whos Arthur"
"the horse"
"oh you're not keeping it"
"Well I let you keep Mickey"

UnquietDad · 20/02/2007 23:51

"What's a horse doing on a spaceship?"

"What's pre-revolutionary France doing on a spaceship, Mickey? Have a little perspective!"

RustyBear · 21/02/2007 00:11

Have you seen this ?

boredwithwaitingforminiMOSSY · 21/02/2007 09:04

Oh I'll have to wait until dinnertime to watch that, not allowed the sound on in work until then!

UnquietDad · 21/02/2007 13:19

You'll enjoy it, mossy, it's very funny!

You know you can watch whole eps. on YouTube these days? DS and DD and I have been watching "Terminus".

boredwithwaitingforminiMOSSY · 21/02/2007 14:11

Well in the end, I went out because everyone in the office was annoying the hell out of me.

Because I'm leaving in a week and half a day they expect me to do all the crappy stuff, so I decided to spend my dinner sat in a café with a cup cake, coffee and a book to get away from their demands.

Actually it was great, like being a student again! I can't remember the last time I took a full hour (actually I can, it was about two years ago)!

Anyway rambling and ranting aside I didn't know that actually UnquietDad, it's another consideration for my impending maternity leave!

Terminus - Peter Davidson?

UnquietDad · 21/02/2007 14:28

Peter Davison! No relation to Jim DaviDson.

boredwithwaitingforminiMOSSY · 21/02/2007 14:34

Omg imagine Jim Davidson as the Doctor! How awful!

UnquietDad · 21/02/2007 14:54

"Gaaw bloimey, I was sayin' ter my friend Chalky, them Daleks ain't half ugly buggers, and that Davros, ow does a farkin cripple loike im ever get abaht up an down them stairs?"

boredwithwaitingforminiMOSSY · 21/02/2007 15:24

Funny... but also just makes me shudder! Ugh he's horrible!

nikkie · 21/02/2007 19:34

I need broadband , awful watching youtube on dialup!
Have been watching the cyberman box set today the PT ones with part cartoon/part real are interesting, confused the kids.

Have also found out dd2 think the Dr is real and why was he in Harry Potter being naughty?

boredwithwaitingforminiMOSSY · 22/02/2007 08:27

Well I got into work before everyone else this morning and thought I'd watch it then.... and for some reason Youtube isn't working!

Oh well this is my last ever Thursday in this godawful place; there'll be plenty of time when I'm off on maternity leave!

(Have I mentioned I'm going off on maternity leave? )

Hello sorry to butt in so smugly with this but.... We saw them filming earlier this week. One of the perks of living in Cardiff. My five year old and his friend stood there staring, absolutely enthralled. Dr Who waved at them. Captain Jack smiled at them. They were soooo chuffed. Proper, wide eyed, mouth open, chuffed. (Made my day too, phwoar.)

Actually what I was really impressed with was how friendly they all were - which I think is a real credit to them. The children were allowed to have their photo taken next to the tardis and there was a woman handing out postcards. They must get stared at all the time, and they hadn't closed the road - they just had to work around the passing traffic. I just thought it was nice that the whole crew were so friendly.

boredwithwaitingforminiMOSSY · 22/02/2007 09:01

Oh that's lovely! Am very too though.

Where in Cardiff do you live btw, dh's brother and his dw life in Llandaff?

Nikkie forgot to ask how old is your dd2?

nikkie · 22/02/2007 18:01

at Peaches, have heard before how nice the crew, DT/JB are to meet.Will have to get dd1 to writ to them!

MOssy-dd2 is 5 1/2.

We are going to Cardiff in May half term any chance anyone is filming then?
DD2 wants to see where the Dr parked the TARDIS!

nikkie · 23/02/2007 18:22

UnquietDad · 25/02/2007 22:38
