*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.

My God! It's got Beansprout!!!!!

DD fell asleep - she got back from a week away with school

She was so cross

I saw it!! I'm a huge Dr Who fan!! Was another great episode and what about Rose on the tv screen!!!!

Brilliantly cheap episode to produce! And I understood it all (unlike last week )

very good beansprout.. now, do we have a whole thread of you doing it?

Actually, I'm so warped, I was doing it to my eldest [evil].

Well, I loved it. I knew about Rose on the screen - it's the same bit they used in the earlier episode with Donna. Guess that shows Rose is definitely saying 'Doctor'.

Dh hated it, though. I suppose it's going to be the 'Love and Monsters' of this series. Marmite. Oh well, I like Marmite too.

Oh and arf at 'Why Doctor, you're so handsome, why yes I am, thankyou very much'

I thought it was great. It really spooked dd though. She sat with her hands over her eyes for most of it.

He should have hung onto those handcuffs you know. Would have come in handy for when they were trying to chuck him off (and if he ever meets me ).

Oooh! Hope she didn't sit too still and that she didn't start repeating everything....!

Has anybody else seen that David is in Hamlet at Stratford in July?? I've got a ticket to go with a friend. We are soooo excited!

Yes, I'm going in August. I have a portable seatbelt to tie myself into the seat in case I get the urge to do a swan-dive onto him from the balcony.

Not sure how I'm going to stop myself from making a loud squeaking noise at his first entrance, though.

I thought it was great,I liked the Doctor being vulnerable, that everything he said was being repeated kind of undermined his authority so he couldn't persuade people as he usually does - the way he did before the repetition started.

If anyone wants to go to Hamlet, there's a pair of tickets on ebay currently at £255 - last pair I saw went for £330....

Kay - I'm with you there - definitely going to need restraint!!

blimey Rusty, that's a bit hefty.

Mind you, I don't know why I'm getting excited about it - I have him round every Friday when Dh goes out to football. He never recites Hamlet, though, maybe it's the Shakespeare getting me all aglow...

btw did you know this episode had another child of a previous doctor in it- did you spot them?

Really? No I didn't! Who? When?

Ooh ooh, I know, this one!

That's the one SaintGeorge - now for the bonus question - he's been in it before - when & who did he play?

I wondered whether he was, and what about Alice Troughton?

Early 70's at a guess. No idea who he played though, memory no good for character names.

Was my Doctor though, Jon Pertwee.

He was King Peladon in "The Curse of Peladon" with Jon Pertwee.

Director Alice is no relation!

OK, now I know 'cos I have googled but I shall leave for someone else to guess.

I could just remember my dad pointing out Patrick Troughton's son once.

Thanks UD, I've been wondering that for aaages!

Hi all,

I don't actually like it when the Doctor becomes too vulnerable. Cue loads of overacting by DT - wide dark eyes and pained expression.

Although some of you ladies like that .

Actually think this series is the weakest yet - too much daughter / future wife / pained expressions for me.

Love Donna though.

I like my doctor uncomplicated and fighting baddies with a twinkle. I worry that it's going to do an 'X Files' and turn in on itself turning in on itself.

Just my thoughts FWIW - DH, DMum and DDad disagree.
