Dr Who Geeks - we just can't stop ourselves

[Cappuccino]

howdi

Oh, I remember him from when DH & I were members of the DWAS - there was great excitement in the newsletters when he got the script accepted.

smilies are fabulous!

anyone see Bains from FoBlood in the devils whore last night - and Mr Simm of course

I have it on pretty dicey authority (bloke on the market) that Sean Pertwee will be next in the Tardis...

That was just Baines in a wig, wasnt it! Harry Lloyd obviously has two characters he plays, as he was completely different as Will Scarlett in Robin Hood.

Sci-Fi Fan:

Moffat does have two potential established companions to make use of. He created River Song (Alex Kingston) in the Library episodes who is clearly a future companion of the Doctor. Also, Sally Sparrow from Blink would make a fantastic companion as she seemed to understand the complexities of the wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff.

I fully expect RTD and SM to work together during the 2009 specials so that the new series kicks off to a flying start.

Of course, there's always David Morrissey who seems to be very Doctor-like in this year's Christmas special.

Today is the Doctor's 45th birthday!

23rd November 1963!

Happy Birthday Doctor!

Hey Raalix - it would be nice to see some kind of resolution re the River Song thread before he regenerates as she obviously knows him as the 10th Doctor.

I agree that Sally Sparrow would be a good companion for SM's first season...we'll just have to wait and see..I'm sure he'll do good.

Got the Season 4 box set today, so I cn celebrate the doctor's birthday in style!

The other thing that hasn't been resolved is Queen Elizabeth recognising him in The Shakespeare Code - River Song might have recognised him telepathically if they had ben married/closely connected, and the 'looking younger' comment might refer to a different regeneration, but surely QE couldn't recognise him unless she had met Ten? (Unless she's actually another lost Time Lord.....)

Not sure about River song as a companion but certainly to pop up every so often

Rusty - Ten could have met her in an adventure between the televised episodes, it might be something they resolve with the audio ones.

We're watching S3 on BBC3 atm, and I'm feeling all sad and nostalgic already

Oh, I know it could have been what DH calls a 'parsley' adventure (after Sherlock Holmes' reference to 'the depth the parsley had sunk into the butter' in 'a story for which the world is not yet prepared')

I'd just have liked to have seen it....

Only 31 days to the Christmas special though!

Rusty - Giant Rat of Sumatra!

Hmmm- could Magnus Greel have been doing some experiments in Sumatra before he came to London?

tick tock tick tock...

Nah, 'tis PJ. Methinks. But they will keep it all under wraps until after Christmas Day, because RTD is being all subterfuge-y about David Morrisey.

ICan, are you referring to the fob watch that David Morrisey is holding in the latest Radio times pics?

Yeah, plus a lot of other little misdirection in the text. I weren't born yesterday, Rusty, m'boy.

Still, I have everything crossed for it being PJ. I don't actually fancy him at the moment, so it's all good...

xmas special countdown ladies?

plus theres a rumour that dioctor 11 will be named tomorrow (the sun says it's not Bob Carlisle, but that the BBC will let itout tomroow!! squeeeeeeeeeee ee ee e!)

I like the idea that DM is william Hartnell in xmas special, but think it more likely he has been addled by cybermen for a training programme, as he has DT mannerisms etc.

DS (almost 5) and I were in the supermarket the other day, and he patted something and said 'What's this? Is it an Ood head?'. It was a large gammon joint, wrapped in plastic. .

I love some of the theories about the Xmas special. My favourite is DM being the Doctor that would have been if DT had regenerated properly instead of creating 10.2.

Not long now...

who is PJ?

Patterson (Paterson?) Joseph, I think.

Yep, Paterson Joseph. Who, depressingly enough, I do fancy now. [ffickle]

thanks I'm off to Google
