NEW Doctor Who Geeks thread

[MrsWho]

old one

RTL -- PMSL at

"Q. What are Harold Saxon's plans for the National Health Service?

A. The present shortage of doctors and medical students is certainly high on Harold Saxon's agenda."

Unless he is going to defend the Dr?

when he said ''its like when you fancy someone and they don't notice you exist' and Jack said 'you too?' to Martha

Anyone else LOl at the tellytubbies? 'evolution' says Saxon

I'd assumed that was one of the bits I'd missed. Maybe it's that Jack's immortal and MArtha isn't, so getting her out of the Master's way is a higher priority? (But on an objective level having your sole earthbound freedom fighter being immortal would have been handy)

going to watch again now

In the middle of watching again now (bizarrely, was on "you too?" scene as you posted that [Twilight Zone doo-doo-doo-doo noise]) (sod waiting for tomorrow).

Oh Mrs Who can I join you??? DP is cheesing me off, by reading the posts on OG in his Simpons' Comic Shop Guy voice.

However it is mildly amuaing , but don't tell him

also Saxon knew jack was immortal too

he said 'this regeneration is a bit cheeky '

Come to think of it, given that all the other alien encounters are explicitly referenced in the Saxon broadcast, why is this one being trailed on TV as "First Contact"?

Oh wow Lemonaid good point!!!

because all the others they went straight for the guns

The Teletubbies thing was a cheeky reference back too. In one of the Jon Peertwee episodes the Master is watching "The Clangers" and refers to them as an "intelligent extra-terrestrial species".

It's clear from his expression that he is taking the piss (as he Simm Master is here) and yet some fans persist to thi day in believing that the Master genuinely thought the Clangers were real!

Yeah JS was a bit sarky over it.

Haven't seen the Clangers one though!

MrsWho - it's The Sea Devils (one everyone who was a child in 1972 remembers!) where the Master is in prison.

They showed the Clangers clip on DW Confide ntial

Anthropologically speaking (and presumably xenoanthropologically speaking too) first contact is the first meeting of two cultures previously unaware of one another, though. Guns are an entirely acceptable aspect.

( that I am giving so much thought to how fictional subeditors on fictional news programs in a fictional universe dealing with fictional events headline their stories)

UQD- I was born in 1978

Atilla -was that tonights? haven't wattched it yet

and lemonaid takes Geeks to a whole new level

quick hijack on behalf of my son. does the master have two hearts?

Who was that bloke with Martha in the trailer for next week...? We could be wiped away by a veritable tsunami of oestrogen on this thread next week (UD, better lash yourself to a mast or something).

Yes

yes

(Yes, two hearts, and yes, unacceptable levels of geekery, sorry )

The master is a timelord so yes I would say so (haven't seen any tests though to prove it!)

Lemonaid -I thought that too , really shouldn't go out next week should I ?
