Well, it'll give us non-Who fans some eye candy as we're flipping through the channels :)

(Billie) "Pass me K9 Dr, I'm going to blow up the Klingons"

(Dr Who) "Why are you going to do that?"

(Billie) "Because we want to, because we want to....."

It's a travesty :(

Re: Dr Who's New assistant
 

nooooooooooooo !!! you have got to be kidding me :td: :rolleyes: :no: :no:

Re: Dr Who's New assistant
 

It's nice that she's finally got some work. :)

Re: Dr Who's New assistant
 

yes it is but dose she have to work on this most important of Projects :no:

Re: Dr Who's New assistant
 

Why do people assume she will be bad? She got good reviews for her acting in that drama she was in earlier in the year.

Anyway, she'd have to be going some to be as bad as Sophie Aldred or Bonnie Langford.

Re: Dr Who's New assistant
 

I was just coming back to say that - she did get good reviews for her part in The Canterbury Tales.

Re: Dr Who's New assistant
 

Don't mention Bonnie Langford, but Sophie Aldred was one of the best assistants ever! She wasn't simply there to scream at the monsters or be captured and require rescuing and (mostly because Sylvester McCoy hated giving long explanatory speeches) got to speak all those lines and the Doctor could just reply "Well done, Ace, you're learning!" :)

I'm more worried about Christopher Eccleston and the Doctor. "So you're a Dalek are you mate? Well have some of this...!" <Bash, Thump, Crash!!> :disturbd:

Re: Dr Who's New assistant
 

I agree on Bonnie Langford - but you must be kidding about Sophie Aldred - Ace was one of the best assistants ever, her and Sylvester made one of my favourite combinations (Jon Pertwee & Katie Manning are probably my fav duo.).

Re: Dr Who's New assistant
 

Noooo. Sophie Aldred was (and still is judging by the last interview I heard) irritating. To me anyway.

Tom Baker/Lalla Ward are (IMO) the best combo.

Re: Dr Who's New assistant
 

TB was my second favorite Doctor after McCoy, but Lalla Ward still ended up playing the helpless female too many times, even though she was supposed to be this capable barbarian fighter type. Oh, and he was saddled with bloody K9 too much of the time.

Re: Dr Who's New assistant
 

True, K9 was irritating... Much more pompous and irritating than any of the Doctor's humanoid assistants.

I always wondered how much use a hyper intelligent talking dog would be if it couldn't climb stairs.

Oh, when I said Lalla Ward, I was referring to Romana (fellow timelord who did occasionally get to play the helpless female). I think you are thinking of Leela (Louise Jameson).

Re: Dr Who's New assistant
 

Ooops :dunce: :blush: you're right...!

Re: Dr Who's New assistant
 

I don't care who it is as long as they don't fecking scream all the time.In fact the rule should be no screaming. :mad:

The only one I like was the blood thirsty Leila,she was too busy trying to kill things to scream. :D

Didn't Louis Jameson appear on Eastenders?

Incog.

Re: Dr Who's New assistant
 

Ace didn't scream - she liked to blow things up - especially Daleks ;)

Re: Dr Who's New assistant
 

or bash them with her enhanced baseball bat

Re: Dr Who's New assistant
 

Doctor: "Hmm, we're in trouble, what should we do?"

Ace: "I've got some Nitro-9 in my bag, Professor..."

Doctor: "NO, Ace!!!"

:D

Re: Dr Who's New assistant
 

billie as the new assistant - how pathetic. putting one of the country's best actors with billie is a travesty.

Re: Dr Who's New assistant
 

Ah well I never watched Sylvestor McCoy as Dr Who.THAT was the travesty choosing that p*llock.He turned the DR into a joke.:(

Re: Dr Who's New assistant
 

Actually, Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred were both terrible.. I have to admit, I did watch it every week, but only in the vain hope it got better..

Re: Dr Who's New assistant
 

I guess they'll be fitting a bar inside the Tardis then? I hope they keep it well stocked or she will not be happy! ;) :D

Re: Dr Who's New assistant
 

Whenever I see her name or picture in the papers I always feel sick. Her and Chris Evens :erm:
