NEW Doctor Who Geeks thread

old one

DING! Liljo, you're right!
Pump It Up

Fillyjonk you're right of course, silly me!

In the Radio Times this week (today's copy) there is the chance to win a life size cardboard Dalek. Or the chance to buy for £30 a cardboard, life size Dalek, Cyberman or The Doctor. Imagine having a lifesize cardoboard DT in your living room

Or bedroom!

I did think that but didn't want to lower the tone

[lemon wonders whether her DH would get suspicious if she suddenly developed a pressing interest in the Radio Times]

Have you seen the covers? A rather yummy choice of Simms or Tennant apparently (seen the pictures but online not on the magazine)

I have the Radio Times with DT on the front. They are a bit misleading though, as it says "We join him on the set for the sensational series finale", but inside the interview type thing has been done with the girl who plays Martha

My whole interest in Dr Who has only started since DT arrived on the scene. I didn't watch it before. And I only really like the bits about relationships or romance, not the scary or geeky bits.

[lemon wonders whether her DH would get suspicious if she suddenly developed a pressing interest in buying two copies of the Radio Times]

If you buy two, then you have 2 chances at winning a dalek don't you? Or 2 chances of buying a life size DT cardboard cut out

[lemon wonders whether her DH will buy the idea that she's bought two copies of the RT entirely for his benefit because she would be a Bad Wife if she were to expect him to survive with only one chance of winning a life-sized cardboard Dalek. And whether he's more or less likely to buy this argument if she removes the covers first]

have a look at this

Hmmm, Dh works for the paers and Radio Times is one- maybe I should go and casually visit their warehouse- can you iamgine, thousands of them??/ FAb

Soooo what do we think the toclafane are, given it would break the doctor's hearts if he knew? Like the Time Lords theory (and would explain why they did a flashback to the young master surrounded by Time Lords in trad. 70s costume).

But they sounded a bit like that seed thingy from the Olympics episode to me - the one that was lonely and had taken over the little girl who was trapping people in her drawings. Maybe it would break his heart because he was the one who let them go in the first place?

Liked the use of the music from the Rose/Tennant being separated by the wall scene for the bit where Martha left the doctor, btw.

Wow - lifesize DT for only £27.99 - bargain or what?

I wondered if the Toclafane were the Timelords too. But I also think the idea of them being the people from the end of the universe could work too.

Have to get a radio times today !

Is it sad that my friend and I were the last ones to leave the playground this am as we were discussing Dr Who?

Have wasted far too much time enjoying this thread. I am going to miss my Saturday night entertainment - will have to revert to whatever we did before Dr Who (maybe that's why I also post on the ante-natal thread...!)

DD2 is sadly too young for it (she's 4) - went to Toys R Us the other day and they had a huge DT cut-out (swoon!) - I said to DD2 "look, it's his Sonic Screwdriver", - she gave me a look, and said "it's just a silly blue light!" She needs to learn...

DD1 is 14 and loved the last episode, particularly as it gave her and her mates a way to wind up teachers (imagine the druming fingertips going round the classroom - I bet that went on in loads of schools on Monday). Can't wait for Saturday...

It happened in my school on Monday!

My Dr Who geeks club (I mean Duke of Edinburgh group) had great fun with that one!

or could they be mini-daleks? Wrong voices though...

Groan....

Please not Daleks - again

My only, teeny-tiny, criticism of the new Who, is their Dalekophilia. I think the episodes without them tend to be much stronger. Honourable exception being Doomsday from last season, of course.

Now see Gizmo's theory would explain the child voice of one of the Toclafane, as there was a little child helping out in the first episode of the sequel wasn't there?

hmmmmmm

I like Gizmo's theory.
