I thought it would be high time to get the TARDIS party going, now we're on a countdown. Has anyone else seen the clip from the first episode yet? Looking like good fun. I might even be persuaded to squee.

WHEN? WHEN? WHEN?

KayHarker · 22/03/2010 12:42

It'll be Easter Saturday, surely. The day after Ashes to Ashes returns. Bumper weekend of telly for me, and then I get to say 'yay for Jesus' on Sunday. Can't see the bad side

I am like UQD on this one - I'm optimistic. He looks suitably outlandish and manic. And of course the new screwdriver is about marketing - as is the logo change. Embrace it, it's the way forward...

Tennant will be back eventually, I'm convinced. Even if it's just for a ten minute special on Children Have Sporty Red Needy Noses or something.

I miss DT! I hope they do bring him back even if it's only for ten minutes.

Bumnoise · 22/03/2010 17:12

I'm with UQD too. He reminds me of Sylvester McCoy's Doc. Matt Smith I mean not UQD

UnquietDad · 22/03/2010 17:50

The bit on the trailer where he says "bit green" sounds very Sylvester!

noeyedear · 22/03/2010 18:49

I hope they don't bring DT back for a good while, anyway ( Put on hard hat to shield myself from stones) My maternal side really hopes MS does really well- poor boy-having to fill the shoes of the best doctor ever! He's just got the job of his life, he's only a young thing, and people are already wanting the other bloke back! It would really undermine him to actually bring him back! I think he's going to be great and an equal to the gorgeous DT!

TigerFeet · 23/03/2010 11:10

Oh goodness not a Sylvesteralike... I went off DW a bit then.

I do rather like a bow tie though I have to say

I never thought DT could be as good as CE and he obviously was, so I am confident that the casting people know what they're doing and that by the second episode MS will be the Best Doctor Ever

UQD I am relying on you to give us an objective, non lust fuelled view of MS

How long before they get CE, DT and MS together to do a Five Doctorsy sort of thing??? Christmas special 2011 p'raps?

UnquietDad · 23/03/2010 13:32

Unlikely Eccleston will ever come back for a cameo - he has moved on...

jeee · 23/03/2010 13:33

Surely someone had an invite to the premiere, and can fill us in with some spoilers? Please.

lumpsdumps · 23/03/2010 19:50

I'm here, am dead excited can't wait til the 3rd April!

Nymphadora · 24/03/2010 23:22

If anyone knows when the first episode is repeated I would be VVVVV grateful. I can't find it anywhere and have resorted to emailing the BBC. I need an episode later than Saturday so I can download it on Iplayer. We should be back about 4pm Sat so may just cathc it but I need a backup for when if the M6 is blocked. (ditto for Ashes to Ashes if you see that too!)

Idontknowhowtohelpher · 24/03/2010 23:52

They are just teasing us - look at what's on on Saturday! www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw/news/bulletin_100319_01/First_Minute_of_The_Eleventh_Hour

Hermya321 · 25/03/2010 09:23

Nymph They normally repeat that weeks episode of Doc who on the Sunday night on BBC 3, I could be wrong though. You going anywhere nice?

Nymphadora · 25/03/2010 09:27

NEW YORK!!!!!!!!!!

There is a clip on the website of the 11th hour.

Hermya I can't see them not repeating it but its not saying it anywhere and we should be back in time to beat the 7 day thing on Iplayer anyway but we are flying BA

Hermya321 · 25/03/2010 09:55

Nymph I shall be offering supplications to the big man upstairs on your behalf for a smooth stress free journey. I would offer to record it for you, but none of our recording stuff works unfortunatley. Sorry.

Nymphadora · 25/03/2010 10:42

I hate digital tv , recording has got all complicated!

Hermya321 · 26/03/2010 12:35

If I'm feeling a tad thick, I tend to ring my more knowledgable BIL who tends to have the answer to those kinds of queries.

Nymphadora · 26/03/2010 14:44

Our tv loses. channels regularly and old my plc stuff didn't go digital . We tend to rely on iplayer to watch current stuff & eBay for older stuff

Hermya321 · 26/03/2010 23:46

I've just seen Matt Smith on Jonathan Ross, he's very fidgitty. But on the plus side apparently we're going to get levels on the Tardis and it'll be a different shade of blue on the outside.

They also seem to be bringing the darleks back as well. Tbh I'd like some newer villans for a change. Oh well, we'll see how it pans out.

noeyedear · 26/03/2010 23:55

I think that was his first TV interview, and James Corden said a couple of weeks ago that he was really nervous about it, so maybe thats why he was fidgety. He kept getting distracted from his chain of thought!

ThatVikRinA22 · 27/03/2010 00:03

just watched same....am looking forward to new DW...love the new writers. am expecting great things!

Idontknowhowtohelpher · 27/03/2010 09:54

ooh I just watched Matt Smith with Jonathan Ross on iPlayer. The clip from Episode 6 looks great! I can't wait......

Nymphadora · 27/03/2010 14:13

The whole series trailor looks dark!!!
Steven Moffat at the helm it was likely to be though wasnt it

pinkteddy · 27/03/2010 15:04

Did anyone think Matt Smith looked incredibly camp as DW in that clip from Ep 6?

ThatVikRinA22 · 27/03/2010 16:15

he is a bit foppish, but i still think he will be good.
