Re: Doctor Who
 

Why do they put it offset against the hour? Why not '7pm every sunday'?

Re: Doctor Who
 

tbh she looks like a children's TV presenter, not the Dr. ...
Have a feeling it might well be ok/good but won't be or have the feel of Dr Who any longer. More the Sarah Jane adventures. However, we'll see...

Re: Doctor Who
 

Guess you don't remember just how young Matt Smith looked when he was announced as the Doctor:

Re: Doctor Who
 

Not really age that's the problem. Peter Davison was young and that worked. Matt Smith never did quite work for me, good actor that he is. Got to be convinced that it's the same person , which for this Dr is going to be extra difficult. Will she convince us she's an older version of Hartnell? Will she be threatening to give her companion a 'smacked bottom' like he did once ? (although tbf the old duffer probably went off script ;) )

I tell ya Paul,I really miss the original Dr. Who!!!

First reviews are positive: http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/doctor-...iews-round-up/

Re: Doctor Who
 

What does The Doctor look like?

Every Doctor has looked different. The second Doctor looked a lot different to Hartnell and am sure at the time people thought, who is this guy. He is a bit of a clown and doesn't seem like the same person.

It is a lighthearted family show after all. Its not a grown up adult SciFi show. It was created for families and children. Originally I am sure the premise was it was to be a historical show so people could learn stuff.

She looks to me like she could be David tennants sister around the face.

A brief spoiler-free review in Empire suggests that they have indeed shot and will broadcast Who in 2.39:1, or something close to it.

Re: Doctor Who
 

Personally, I'm waiting until I've seen it before I decide if it has the feel of Dr Who . It could be anywhere from absolutely awful to absolutely excellent. I won't know what I think of it until I've seen it. Even if it does turn out to be awful, I like to give new or rebooted shows a while to settle down, so I'll watch a few episodes, possibly the entire series.

It has an excellent writer for a showrunner though, who also did an excellent job with running Broadchurch, both of which give me high hopes. Jodie Whitaker is also, IMO, an excellent actress, although I've yet to see how she handles comedy (which is actually harder than drama to get right).

Re: Doctor Who
 

Well so far amost of the early previews have been very positive.

I am looking forward to it.

Rumour is that the new theme.credits won't be shown until the second episode and will be missing from the first one.

Re: Doctor Who
 

Is it common for the BBC to give Who previews this far in advancing of airing? If it's anything like movies and computer games the earlier the embargo for the reviews the more confident the studios are....

Re: Doctor Who
 

The launch seems to be about the same distance as Peter Capaldi's debut:
