*BRAND NEW Doctor Who Geeks Thread

[KayHarker]

Thought I'd kick it off so we have a new thread for the final leg

Old Thread for the people what likes it all neat 'n' stuff.

Dempsey's in it!

Oh Holy Crap!

Roll on Saturday....

WOW!!!! I've just watched that clip!!! I know what you mean about shivers!!! I can't wait

My God, Aitch, you're right! I was wondering why he looked so familiar.

Bloody hell that man was one of my earliest crushes. And he has aged well....oh yeah oh yeah...

I really hope that i am not disappointed, the trailer looks fab

I was a bit disappointed at last weeks. It wasn't the story i thought it could have been, although Catherine Tate was fab.

I've got such high hopes for these next two episodes that i think that they will inevitably be a bit of a letdown - and i just know that the Doctor and Rose won't ride off into the sunset sob

I am such a sad act

I wonder if Davros will recognise Sarah-Jane, or if all "human females" look the same to him?!

here is what happened the first time they met... in quite possibly the best amateur trailer I've seen for a Who story...

(Starts about 34 seconds in - the rest is the end of the previous episode.)

I get a big girly lump in my throat at Sarah-Jane's reaction.

And that is indeed Dempsey. Stupid story - I had a Dempsey and Makepeace poster on my wall when I was younger, but I got freaked out by the eyes following me everywhere. So, for some unknown reason, I decided to put stickers over their eyes.

Which, obviously just looked silly and didn't really help, because now they had teddy-bear eyes which was even more freaky.

So, I took the stickers off. Which was even worse because now I had a poster on my wall of two people with no eyes at all.

I threw the poster in the bin

no, this has nothing to do with Doctor Who, I'm just trying to make conversation without spoilers

Kay - PMSL at your story and PMSL at making conversation without spoilers!!

I don't know how everyone keeps up with all the links between episodes, series, etc. I know I don't so find this thread really informative (as well as entertaining!)

Can I just throw in the theory that you don't have a 'big name' in a series without their turning out to be a major character, and wonder whether Bernard Cribbins is quite a big enough name these days to qualify?

(I know we've kind of moved on, but hey, it's been bugging me)

bad Wilf? ;)

worth every penny!

JackieNo - that may be true of most series, but it hasn't traditionally been true of Dr Who - many celebrities have been on in minor parts - lots of them are willing to do anything just to be on Dr Who!

Ah yes, good point (don't blame them, either). It's usually a sure-fire winner to find the murderer in most detective series.

Anyone see Dempsey Michael Brandon on Richard and Judy. I can't believe I had to sit through the train-wreck that is Richard Madeley, but what an awesome clip they showed!

I'm stupidly excited now.

Bernard Cribbins is already a fanboy gesture, though, as he was in one of the Peter Cushing Doctor Who movies.

it's todaaaaaaaaay!

(no i didn't sit up especially to type this...)

squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

We're having a BBQ I can't believe we've having a sodding BBQ. D'you think it would be impolite to get everyone to sit down and shut up at 7? Or I could lock them out for the duration, and hope noone notices?

I blame the MIL - if she'd gone away later in the year we could have trashed borrowed her house without it clashing. In fact, I blame the people getting married, whose invitation has caused her to be away now.....

I'm going to have to watch it on Sunday

no, serenity, that's..that's..it's just not right.

I am completely calm. I am serene.

+~##~+

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

As you were, nothing to see here.

I have passed on going out to dinner tonight with DH & his Captain Scarlet friends (which is usually quite fun) because I don't want to wait till Sunday to watch it. Luckily they all understand what it's like to bed slightly weird about a TV programme.

I'm getting in the mood by listening to the music from the series 1 & 2 CD - the first part of the 'Doomsday' music is the epitome of 'haunting' music.

I am slightly disturbed by the fact that I can't stop humming 'Song for Ten' though - it's the kind of song I'd normally hate, but it just reminds me of the scene at the end of the Christmas special where DT was choosing his clothes.

Love it - I'm still reeling from the music in FotD - the mix of orchestral and electronica was so well done.

I for one, welcome our new Dalek overlords

I've got someone coming to pick up a cot this evening, that I put on Freecycle, and I had to specify in the email that they could come any time, as long as it didn't interrupt Doctor Who.

i just watched casanova. i think i may have just a teeny tiny incy wincy, timey wimey thing for DT.

ugh! i am clearly a 13 year old hormonal teen trapped in the saggy body of a 40 year old grown up mother of three.

squuuuuuuuuuueee!

OH yes - Casanova's fab. Unfortunately mostly comedy sex, but some good romantic/yearning moments.

even the comedy sex would do it for me at the moment!

i cried at the end. I'm crap.
