re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Since they are all Dr Who, the BBC decision is a bit nonsense, how can a programme have two Series 1, 2, 3 etc.

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

In the same way that Star Trek: The Next Generation is numbered seasons 1-7 rather than 4-10 I suppose.

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Thats a different programme name though, Doctor Who is still just Doctor Who, not Doctor Who : TNG :)

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

What's in a name? What we have now is Doctor Who, the next REgeneration. :D The fact they don't put it in the opening credits is neither here nor there.

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Wilfred Mott, Donna's Grandad is returning and will he the docs companion in David Tennant's last two episodes :)

Bloody Sky+ box threw a Tiz and didn't start recording the Easter Special, til after a reboot as my Dad was round that wasn't until 5 minutes in :(

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

it's on tomorrow night 7:00 on bbc3, and the making which is on later on tonight on bbc3 is on straight after it tomorrow night.

According to http://www.radiotimes.com it's repeated Monday and a few more times over the next week!

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Ms Ryan sound like she will be a new assistant.

I hope so she's a real babe

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Anyone think that Michelle Ryan's character, while sexy, is a blatent ripoff of Lara Croft?

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Very very good! And Lee Evans was brilliant, even though I don't know anyone who sounds like that :D

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

very good :) much better than that rubbish next doctor episode at any rate

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Them creatures in the crashed craft were like a cross between The Fly and Devo.:erm:

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Mmmmmmmmmmmm Michelle Ryan :blush:

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

I quite enjoyed it. Not sure the bus looked all that real while flying, it seemed to be too obvious it was cgi.

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Michelle Ryan :angel: :luv: :romance: :naughty: :drool:

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

My ex looked like a gothic version of her :D

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Enjoyable.

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

I'm off for a shower in liquid nitorgen ;)

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Missus and I both really enjoyed it, we like the silly ones, 'cos they're good pantomime fun, where as more often than not when it tries too be too serious it just ends up being bad.

At one point, I looked at the missus and asked "Is she auditioning for a new Tomb Raider movie?" ;)

She could get the job :)

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Agh, I forgot all about this! :(

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Now you think of it, she does seem like Lara Croft. I didn't think of her at first. The Confidential episode was very interesting at some parts. And yeah, it was a good episode.

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

MMichelle Ryan is on ITV2 shortly.... With that guy that thinks he's russell brand

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Just been watching the making of (Dr Who Confidential) that was on BBC3, It's repeated a few times over next week or so like the actual episode.

I don't normally watch Dr Who Confidential, but for those that enjoyed the episode it's worth watching, the logistics of transporting the bus, ppl who did their own stunts etc.

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Just watched the Special and thought it was a truly excellent production. I liked the Lee Evans character too. I like Lee Evans, he has a lot of the "Norman Wisdom's" about him.

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Ah, yes. When she said he, there was only one person I could think of...

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Doctor Who were filming in Swansea yesterday for the Xmas special. David Tennant, Catherine Tate and Bernard Cribbins were there. Evening Post Photo's:

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Is that just off the Kingsway, by HSBC?

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Yes, they were filming in and outside the Kardoma Cafe.

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Yes very masterful statement ;)

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Well, I quite enjoyed it. Not the best episode, not the worst either.

Interesting to hear Michelle Ryan speak in what is apparently her natural accent.

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8068435.stm

Squee, as they say on a certain other forum. :D

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Even better, I thought there were only two specials left. :)

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Nope, there are three because the forthcoming Christmas special is a two-parter. AFAIK the second Christmas episode should be shown around new year and will end on a regeneration cliffhanger.

It's nice that the Who production team have found a way to increase the Doctor's presence on our screens via SJA though. I only wish they'd give the series a 7pm BBC Three repeat, instead of endlessly showing Doctor Who in that slot. At the moment, if you don't want to watch the CBBC channel, or children's programmes on BBC1, the only way to see SJA is to download it.

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

or the lovely BBC iPlayer :)

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Great if you have Virgin, or like watching TV on your computer. Not so versatile otherwise. ;)

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

According to an article in the Sun today, all the old companions will return in DTs last episode (Special), and most (all ?) of them will be married off (Rose, Martha, Donna).

DT is also going to appear in The Sarah Jane Adventures, apparently for Sarah's wedding.

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

why do thay keep bring rose back !

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Because she's the hottest Who assistant ever :D

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

i'd much ratehr have Donna :)

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Why not ?

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

I don't think ill watch it once DT has gone he has made the part his and i won't have any interest in anyone else taking over it.

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Is this new series companions (I prefer Martha) or the old series (Definitely Peri - especially then, but even now :) )?

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

That's the beauty of Dr Who. Each regeneration shares traits with the others, but has their own distinct character. Something that was brilliantly demonstrated by Peter Davison at the beginning of Castrovalva (where, having just regenerated, his character changes rapidly between those of the first four doctors).

---------- Post added at 23:30 ---------- Previous post was at 23:28 ----------

MMM... Martha..


Having said that Peri was (and is, judging by the photos I have seen) sexy. Especially as the crew seemed to like to get her to show off her (ample) cleavage. Usually with a combination of the right camera angle and a low cut top.

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Hello, Priory? Is there a spare bed on the Susan Boyle ward? I think we may have a patient for you...

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

the master will be in DT last doctor who story

I must say ive liked Karen Gillan in The Kevin Bishop Show and she is easy on the eyes so I am ok with her lol

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

The Dr Who Team have announced that Waters of Mars will be shown on Sunday 15th November 2009.

The final two specials (End of Time) are due Christmas Day, and probably New Years Day.

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

I just don't understand why this is on a sunday if thay are looking to sink
x factor Surely this is the one show that can be relied upon to beat it
in the ratings. so why relegate it to sunday tea time i just don't under stand it

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Well Merlin is on BBC1 on Sat night and then Strictly, so Sunday was the only available time slot.

As its Doctor Who I don't think the beeb will have to worry about viewing figures

I have set my V+ for Sunday at 7pm on BBC HD and then Confidential after it.

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

I dont think anyone will miss marlin for a week

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

I'd miss Merlin.

Or, to be more accurate, Morgana.

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

I would, and my family.

can't wait in soup's house, got a 40inch 100hz 1080p samsung last week - already blowing my mind with the hd channels - Dr Who will probably make me have a little sex wee!!

When is this programme on about Marlins

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...0px-Marlin.png

Five minutes, people!

Don't forget, it's on BBC HD too :)

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

The time is near :)

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Here we go :) BBC HD :)

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

OMG I loved the ending

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Ohhhhhh yes!!! :D

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Awsome.

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Amazing :) Doctor got a bit power crazy at the end, before realising what he had done.

Christmas trailer looked fab too!!

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

CTs back, I wonder how she helps?

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

I'm still trying to get my breath back. I loved the fast moving action and the way the plot moved toward regeneration. The Christmas special can't come soon enough. :)

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Ms LSainsbury talked nearly all the way through it so I'll have to watch it again in the week....

She better hope I'm not in the room next time Midsummer Murders or Spooks is on!!

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

www.divorce-online.co.uk

Anyway, I loved the way they teased a 'heel turn' for the Doctor at the end - anyone else think that sort of scenario will lead in to his next regeneration?

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

That was bleedin' awesome!

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

best Episose since journy's end ! loved every minute from beginning to end

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Did anyone notice the distinct similarity between the way the Ood appeared at the end and the way the Watcher appeared in some of the classic series eps (thinking particulary of how he appeared a few times in "Logopolis" around the time of the regeneration.

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Also the way the cloister bell chimed signalling impending doom :D

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

AFAIK The Watcher only ever appeared in Logopolis. But they may have been referencing that with the Ood. They were certainly referencing Logopolis with the cloister bell sounding at the end of the episode, as that was a feature of Logopolis too.

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Oh yeah, was that a reference to Journey's End in the flashback?

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Yep! I thought that too.

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Overnight ratings for this were 9.1 million, which is very good.

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

I was not at all impressed with it. Still the christmas one did look good from the brief trailer. Probably just 'cos fancy Donna though ;)

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Interesting ... what didn't you like about it?

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Lots of little things to be honest, but I'm going to put it up on m projector later and try watching it again, I was only watching it on a small TV last night so that didn't help at all.

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

That's exactly what I thought, it was also a 'stick on' that the master was going to be in the next episode, I said that to the wife when he kept on banging on about how he was the last timelord. It didn't look like that Sim bloke, was it him?

Is the Christmas one the last one? I mean is that the regeneration one?

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

There are two over the Christmas period.

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Oh, dear. It seems the Doctor has finally gone off the deep end. He's on the slippery slope the Time Lords were once on (referring back to the Dark Time mentioned in The Five Doctors), before Rassilon sorted them out. And there is literally no-one to stop him...except perhaps the Master.

Imagine that, if the Master ended up saving the Universe from the Doctor! :shocked:

Perhaps we'll find out who retrieved the Master's ring from his funeral pyre - though I strongly suspect it was his wife, Lucy. A while back I had an idea for a story in which the Master planned for his own death, anticipating that the Doctor would take him prisoner, and hatching a plan to escape him by hiding a copy of his memories (greatly compressed, of course, bearing in mind what happened to poor Donna) in Lucy's mind, without her knowledge, and compelling her to kill him at the right time, then retrieve the ring (which contains a copy of the Master's bio-print, so he could be cloned). Remember the look on her face? She looked lost, distracted, as if she didn't know what she was doing. At that point, I thought "Hmmm..." and started scribbling. Not that I've got anywhere with it since; life keeps getting in the way. :rolleyes:

So if that's what the writers do to bring him back in The End of Time, remember: you heard it here first! :D

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Its one story in two parts, and yes, they are DT's last, so regeneration.

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Yup as I said two over the christmas period :)

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

He is coming back, it was said in the teaser.

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Son of A!!

I missed it! Iplayer?

If not anyone got a good link :(

Found it http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...aters_of_Mars/

for anyone who wants to see again :D

Edit: Brilliant Episode. Maybe one of the best Dr Who episodes in History

Also think I worked the End out.. He thought he could change the laws but the End where she shot herself Proved he couldnt

I believe its stupid how they advertised The New Doctor so early.. I mean in these Teasers and Trailers (Tennant) the doctor says he's going to die.. Obviously he does'nt because we know the next actor but it would have been more fun not knowing and thinking there was a possibility he could actually die.

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

It is repeated tonight on BBC-3

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

If i may ask does anyone have a site where i can watch past Dr Who Episodes Like Most of the Tennant and Eccleston Era :)

Thanks

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

The only place you can see any of it legally is on BBC iPlayer. Discussion of the alternatives is not allowed. ;)

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

there is always www.buyitondvdfromtescosorplayoramazon.com

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

I'm sorry I had not realised watching something we are forced to pay for on tv even if we dont watch it is illegal to watch online :P

Of course im talking about a TV licence :D

But Forums rules are forum rules... Im cursing the BBC not the forum lol

If the Iplayer had a Library of Dr who Ep's im sure it would get a lot more attention than it does.

I mean BBC Iplayer is just.. stupid to be honest.. All the programs on BBC are rubbish unless your a woman and like soaps..

Iplayer..Fail...Skyplayer! Win

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

What are you talking about? Most of the BBC content ends up on iplayer from the last 7 days. iplayer is great. Sometimes there are season catch ups. Iplayer gets a lot of attention so many people use the service either on the site or through the VM on demand service.

However if you watch to see Doctor Who they are usually on Watch Ch124 all the time.

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Yah seen most of them on watch but i hate how watch constantly repeat the episodes

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

So what is your problem then? Why do you need to watch them again? If you keep seeing repeated episodes, why do you need to find somewhere, where they show more repeated episodes?

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

because they keep repeating the same episodes every week.. Like the same 2 often

I wanted to see the series not the same 2 lol Understand now :P

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Then buy the DVD's.. :rolleyes:

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Just an example of what is left of this week:

Three different episodes in two days.

Then it starts again, with different episodes on Monday, on BBC Three and Watch. So, hardly the same two episodes every day for a week.

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Watch
Doctor Who 3.00pm - 4.00pm The Doctor and Rose travel to an alien world where mankind has settled after the destruction of Earth, and encounter an old enemy plotting revenge. David Tennant stars.

Watched that a few weeks ago on watch..

And the haunted house has been on watch about 6 times now..

What I meant is.. they dont keep up with any series at all.. Just random 2 Ep's every week if not the same Episode they showed the week before

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

That's because there have only been fifty-two episodes and a few specials. They can't just produce more because you have seen them all.

BBC Three recently ran the entire New Doctor Who series from, "Rose" to "Journey's End." I believe they are doing the same now, playing an episode a day.
