Doctor Who Geeks (not so) Anonymous

[3rdTriMossTer]

(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!

I thought the 'battle' was quite disturbing when you think of the training children to fight and that they were going straight to war and the hymn over the top and then the WW vetrans at the end

I thought that they rushed the family of blood thing at the end too

The bit where Tim says about tthe Doctor and is on the trailer -is it the same voice? I didn't think it was?

foxinsocks - thanx - we do the north Sheen Sainsbury's but there are a couple of large Waitrose's too - and of course Tesco Mecca in Osterley I could spend days in there..

...sorry, lowering the tine here aren't I. Lets stick to discussing the finer points of DT, and let's face it, there are many

MrsWho - I found that disturbing too

Just been back to watch the trailer for series 3 here (first time I've done a 'new' link) and there is very little shown from the last 4 episodes
tiny bit from Blink and 2/3 small clips from Utopia and the one of John Simm

and the voice is too grown up to be Tim

New to this thread, so hello!
I just wanted to post to agree with you all about last night's (and last week's) episode. They were amazing. Dr Who has NEVER made me cry before, not even when Rose left. It was exceptionally well done and covered so many elements. Everyone was brilliant, and DT is just a fab actor.

It's the same lines spoken by Tim but the voice does sound a little deeper.
The only two explanations I can think of are that someone else says the exact same lines later in the series, (which is possible, they are quite iconic) or that the editing in the trailer deliberately obscured the 'young' sound of Tim's voice for effect.

I was thinking about it overnight and thought the last bit was so poignant. The Doctor battles monsters and is this powerful and clever man, but the aged Tim, sitting in a wheelchair, he's a real hero.

I still think its Saxons assistant

Still waiting for advise on how to spend my nectar points

If I get 2 of these
Revelation Of The Daleks
Doctor Who: The Mind Robber
Visitation

I can 'afford' to get 4 dvds is that worth it?Quite tempted by the colin Baaker just cos we haven't got any from his era yet.

Doctor Who: The Visitation
Doctor Who: Robot
Doctor Who: Timelash
Doctor Who: The Three Doctors
Doctor Who: The Ark In Space

Whats the 3 doctors like?

will order tonight or tomorrwo !

Just popping in to say Mark Strickson was Turlough, and was blond, but dyed red so as not to be too similar to Peter Davison in ong shiots. Bonnie Langford played Mel Bush (!) from Pease Pottage, computer programmer....

Incoming trivia...

The actor who played Tim was also in Nanny McPhee.

Family of Blood very sad at the end, it's the war reference, all those boys going off to die. Gets me everytime.

I loved it.

I rather love Martha too. I really like the fact that that she's a proper doctor and all. And I think she's beautiful.

An echo of Penelope Farmer's Charlotte Sometimes at the end, too, which is never a bad thing.

Bonnie Langford is definately ginger - I remember when she was a child star with all those ringlets. She lived near us and we used to see her all dressed up like a modern Shirley Temple!

I thought that he was just seeing the future but not actualy there in RL but I haven't watched it again.

He is like fire and ice and rage
He is like the night and the storm at the heart of the sun
He is ancient and forever
He burns at the centre of time and he can see the turn of the universe

and hes wonderful

on the trailers it is in 2 parts

second trailer has the first two lines

here

This latest story was the best ever and i also cried when the doctor seemed so desperate to stay Human and not have the responsibility of a Time Lord anymore.
Best of all, it was great trying to spot where they were filming in St Fagans, can't wait and go for a visit again, just glad they have used it as a location as there are so many fine buildings there.

PMSL yesterday - DD was wtching the bit where Martha says she loves the Dr - DD says "Me too!"

Then: "How old will he be when i am grown up?"

So I said, "He's about 36 now, that means he's 30 years older than you! So when you are grown up he will be an old man"

And she said "Yeeurgh"

"Me too!!!"

We went to St Fagans last week so spotted loads of bits!

Also visted the Who museum in Cardiff, had lunch in Howells? (where they filmed Rose) wandered Cardiff Bay looking for Torchwood locations(me) and Who locations (all of us)We even got a map

I'm thinking of taking DD2 to Cardiff for her sixth birthday in a couple of weeks, where might one find a map of Who locations, for her benefit not mine you understand. Oh and if it happens to have Torchwood locations on the map too then I would just have to visit them anyway and ask the girls to remember the episode wjere Rose goes to the parallel universe, OK who am I kidding - it's for me, me, me!

OOh, Cardiff is starting to sound very attractive!

Doesnt it have good shops too?

Dh was going to take the older two to Cardiff over the weekend, but I threw a strop because I couldn't go with them.

Grown-up, me?
