NEW Doctor Who Geeks thread

[MrsWho]

old one

Yes it was tonights - it's shown again tomorrow but I think that's an edited edition, so it might not be on it.

lemonaid, just thought the bloke was Jack, did look properly!! Will have a look on youtube, see i f they've got trailer yet.

i have just been introduced to the joy of dr who by my ds. i love david tennant. i haven't got a clue what is going on, but it's brill.

Have confidential taped

The bloke looks a bit Jackish but seems to be on Earyh with Martha and another bloke.And Jack is fighting on the Valiant (wasn't that fantastic BTW and aircraft carrier in the sky!!!!)

I 'm obviously not "who'd-up" enough for this thread

Well Allie if you've any questions ask away! shame you've only got one episode left!

I think i will be watching a lot of on demand. I never liked christopher eccleston so was put off, but loved david tennant

this is worrying my son (5) (the heart thing) is he going to be a dr who geek, he likes to regenerate daily

(he watches the paul mcgann film all the time)

Come back! Come back! We're all going round in circles obsessing over details at the moment so getting back to basics would be good.

that phrase "back to basics" has conjured up all sorts of unsuitable mental images involving members of the DW cast. I blame the wine.

my dd1 is a geek.dd2 didn't like this one as much as there was too much talking

Ah, you are back, good

Wish I could watch on demand!! I'd be demanding next weeks episode.

SEA - what's worrying your son, the 2 hearts?

There could have been a question over whether Anthony Ainley or Eric Roberts had two hearts, as they nicked other bodies (although in the case of AA there was a Master-thing that merged with Nyssa's father, so a second heart could have been imported I suppose).

But I think this Master definitely has a second heart, because he regenerated properly so ought to be a proper Time Lord with the requisite two hearts.

The Master does have two hearts - I have a very vague memory of it being mentioned, but not sure when - possibly when he was in prison.

rtl yes the two heart thing is really playing on his mind.

he is only 5 but has tons of old dr who videos that he loves. i sort of worry that he's so worried about dr who iykwim!

I feel ds1 has missed something of his childhood as there was no Dr Who when he was growing up. He's 22!! Where as ds2 loves it.

Mine is 2 although isn't really into it yet (he did like "funny monster come out of Dalek", though)

Lemonaid, how old are you. I'm overwhelmed by your dr Who knowledge, and maybe even a bit scared.....

RTL- my dds have been watching since it restarted and they are 7 and 5 now.dd2 hasn't been scared yet (I have) and dd1 was only scared of the angels

I am now on 7 Dr Who threads out of 24 threads I am on

I was very, very young in 1972, if that helps...

Actually, my pre-late-Tom Baker-era knowledge was pretty much non-existent (my parents didn't approve of children watching Doctor Who until they'd produced enough of us and we'd grown to a point where we could band together and protest) until I met DH, who has embarked on an extensive re-education programme of weekend morning UK Gold (Jon Pertwee and earlier Baker, plus some Peter Davidson where I can say "ooh, I saw this one"). I think at some point he expects me to sit an exam...

Aaargh. Davison, obviously. Definitely down to the wine and the fact that I work with a Davidson. Who would not make a good Doctor Who.

The television is trying to make me watch Barbarella. Should go to bed...

As lemonaid says, interesting question about the hearts. The Master's last two bodies were non-Gallifreyan, so he may not always have had.
The Simm Master says he was "resurrected" by the Timelords, though, so he probably does have.
