I have it on good authority that they are filming an episode of Dr Who at Cardiff prison key words 'The Master's wife'!!

(And how are they going to cover the River Song storyline, or will that just be stuff that happened while we weren't watching?)

PortAndLemon · 23/06/2009 12:11

DS is still firmly of the opinion that it's not possible to have enough Dr Who pencils, rubbers, rulers and masks. And stickers. Particularly stickers.

RustyBear · 23/06/2009 12:20

I think River Song may be left to Kay and her fellow purveyors of fanfic, along with whatever it was the doctor did to Elizabeth I, and the Four Things and a Lizard.

edam · 23/06/2009 12:25

oops, sorry Rusty! If it helps, my mother would have been much more than twice your age when it started...

My dad was never really bothered but suddenly started putting down his newspaper and paying real attention when Leila joined Tom Baker.

oggsfrog · 23/06/2009 12:26

OOh, Rusty, I'd be interested in a couple of vids.

Dd (9) has not seen any Doctor Who yet and they would be a good introduction.

I'll email you.

RustyBear · 23/06/2009 12:50

I'll get DD to make a list - she may as well have something to do in between looking for holiday jobs!

KayHarkerIsKayHarker · 23/06/2009 21:33

A lesser-spotted UQD, how surprising.

I caught the Mark Gatiss thing by pure serendipity, and it was an oasis in a desert of complete dullness today.

I discovered the other week that I went to the same uni as Mark Gatiss, you know.

cornsilk · 23/06/2009 21:36

Do you lot know who the new assistant is then?

KayHarkerIsKayHarker · 23/06/2009 21:38

Well, I've seen her, which is about right.

I'm still melancholy about Tennant having finished filming now. It's all done

UnquietDad · 23/06/2009 22:24

KayH - I'm poking my beak round the corner of the forest!... But yes, I was watching my Logopolis and Castrovalva DVDs the other day, and I'm sure we'll be feeling like I do when I watch THAT BIT, you know... "It's the end, but the moment has been prepared for..." Gets me every time, that. Everything about it - the camera angle, the music, the howling wind.... RTD will have to go a long way to beat that.

UnquietDad · 24/06/2009 10:25

cornsilk - her name is Karen Gillan but we don't yet know the name of her character. There may be a good reason for this.

here she is

ReallyReally · 06/07/2009 13:25

we are going to be watching Torchwood yes?

I know it doesn't have a Doctor in but we are watching it yes? In desperation because it's all we have?

I have been listening to the prequel radio plays

KayHarkerIsKayHarker · 06/07/2009 14:02

Oh, I suppose so.

KayHarkerIsKayHarker · 06/07/2009 14:02

Oh, I suppose so.

mygirllollipop · 06/07/2009 14:05

I'm gutted there's only 5 episodes of Torchwood!

ReallyReally · 06/07/2009 14:17

there only can be five episodes let's face it

since the whole programme centres around who has and hasn't shagged Jack Harkness

have been listening to the radio plays like I said - two out of three of the main 'guest' characters in them are people who have shagged him in a different decade

I think his cock is the biggest protagonist in the whole series; we wouldn't want to wear it out

KayHarkerIsKayHarker · 06/07/2009 19:28

I'm hoping for a big Blake's 7 ending...

edam · 08/07/2009 21:00

just watched the very last Donna episode on Beeb3. Am all choked up. So tragic.

Made the mistake of letting ds watch it too - he cried almost as much as I did the first time. Oops.

But I made up some train stories for a (very late) bedtime so I think he's gone to sleep happy...

ShowOfHands · 10/07/2009 11:08

Kay, do I remember rightly that you write fic?

Have been writing SPN stuff on lj recently but bitten by plot bunny that came left of field with Ten/Rose. Tried searching lj and there are a squillion comms celebrating the beauty of the pairing. Can you rec one of them? Or some decent writers? Self-recs fine btw. I can't read another 'Ooh dr is that a sonic screwdriver in your trousers or are you just pleased to see me' based farce. I know the good fic is out there.

Have you watched SPN yet btw??

KayHarkerIsKayHarker · 10/07/2009 12:16

I do write fic, yes, but currently I'm having computer problems again. haven't seen SPN (is that supernatural?) yet, I've been quite ill and away from telly and computer access.

You could try looking on teaspoon, it's a bit more user-friendly than lj. But Time and Chips comm on lj is the place for all your Doctor/Rose needs. Other than that ff.net is fairly straightfoward. When I have a bit better access, I'll look through my own favourites and give you some links.

ShowOfHands · 10/07/2009 15:12

I'm sorry to hear you've been poorly.

Yes SPN is supernatural and very good it is too.

Thank you for the links, no rush on others, there's plenty for starters.

I appreciate you taking the time.

lj's taken me a long time to get used to, still struggle but once somebody had explained the flist to me it got much easier!

RustyBear · 10/07/2009 22:24

So what are the events in Torchwood going to mean for the DW Tennant finale - given that John Barrowman has been seen filming with DT?

Will it be a timeslip thing? Maybe one of those visits to the Powell Estate in the 90s he mentioned in Utopia?

PortAndLemon · 12/07/2009 23:05

Please don't spoiler Torchwood on here just yet -- have it on Sky+ to watch with DH when he gets back from Delhi at the end of the week and have been carefully avoiding the Torchwood threads.

RustyBear · 14/07/2009 21:16

OOh, sorry

oggsfrog · 28/07/2009 19:40

Aargh!
My Mum taped Torchwood for me.
Wouldn't you just know it... she missed about half an hour of one episode... the pivotal episode that explained it all... Gah!
