Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

Looks good, the statues from blink are back!

And Karen Gillan. :drool:

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

Yep - let's all have a moment's silence for Karen Gillan :)

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

Never heard of her :erm:

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

The new companion.

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

I love a tasty Ginger lady.

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

Blink statues, River Song, Daleks (or at least *a* Dalek), sexy vampire chicks, & a hot assistant. Good stuff :)

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

Squee. ;)

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

Will she be a more confident assistant or a more naive, damsel type assistant? I don't like the latter.

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

Can't wait for S5 to get started after watching that trailer just hope matt's given time to grow in to the part and not short down after 1 week

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

the Doctor with a Gun and punching someone. And at least 2 clips of ALex Kingston in the trailer

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

I know its a kids programme however it has all went a bit.......well.....young if you know I mean - I honestly thought that bloke was a red herring and Tennant was going to change into someone else !

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

You know he will be, DT and Eccelston were both ridiculed by some at first

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

There are some so-called 'fans' on a certain members-only Doctor Who forum who are already shooting him down, based on the trailer. :rolleyes:

The BBC won't pull the rug out from under him though. It isn't the 1980s any more, and Michael Grade has nothing to do with what's shown on BBC1 any more. ;)

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

I had my doubts but now after watching the trailer a few times and the regen scene, I really can't wait for the new series!

I think Moffat has got things spot on. There even appears to be silurians in the trailer(well they look a bit like them)

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

I wonder what effect the world cup will have on both the schedule and ratings for this season

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

Doesn't the BBC have most of the matches? But then it all depends on the channel which is usually BBC1?

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

None of the games clash with the show's usual time slot. I don't think there'll be a problem.

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

There are a *lot* of fans that think the show has changed too much from the old show, and they seem to moan about every little thing. There's also the fact that some people seem to moan about every doctor because he's not as good as the last one..

I'm not one of them. I can accept that the old series had it's highs and lows, as does the new series.

Wouldn't be the first time The Doctor has used a gun. At the end of Earthshock, he blasts a cyberman several times with a blaster, not to mention the end of the episode "Dalek" where the Doctor is pointing a Gun at a Dalek, with Rose between them saying "but he's not the one pointing a gun at me".

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

I can't see this titbit having been linked to yet, and I don't know how much credence you can put on this report, but it may whet some members appetite. :D

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

thats just teasing :drool:

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

The Mirror's a bit slow on the uptake - set reports posted at Gallifrey Base months ago included photos of her in a policewoman's uniform that, given the length of the skirt (or lack thereof), was obviously not a real policewoman's uniform ...

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

you mean real police women DON'T really dress like that ?:confused:

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

At least post a story with pics :D

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

Nice :D

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

Loved the last line in the DM report Don't they mean "over half the amount"?

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

200 grand a year easy life or what lol how many weeks a year do they film?

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

I think it's around 5 months.

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

you read the article? ;)

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

Don't you guys follow #dwsr on Twitter, links to those photo's were posted there last July by the photographer. :D

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

A collage of Amy. :D

Re: Doctor Who season 5
 

I think he's going to be good,

I like the Ox-Bridge look they've gone for.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

season 5 now confirmed as starting easter weekend :)

New Trailer

http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/newyear/

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

just hope its not a let down but I am looking forward to it :)

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Well, we have had Chris Ecclestone, I was dubious about him as the doctor at first, but ended up impressed. Then David Tennant, again I was dubious, but he was superb. Catherine Tate as an assistant, I didn't think she would be any good, and I was right. Now we have a prepubescent doctor. I could be wrong, time will tell, but I don't think he will fill the shoes of his predecessors.
I am going to give it a try, and hopefully it won't be a waste of film like the past 2 bond movies were, or the new star trek movie.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

BBC News channel has been showing a clip from S05E01 ("The Eleventh Hour") all evening - doesn't seem to be on the official site yet, but someone on YouTube has posted it:

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Steven Moffat announced on BBC Breakfast that the series will start on April 3rd - which with 13 episodes, will make the finale on June 26th.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

If I didn't mess up there then that means it's an uninterrupted run?

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Steven Moffat has also confirmed that none of the major characters from the Russell T. Davies era of Doctor Who will appear in his first series.

The has previously revealed that the Weeping Angels, Daleks and Silurians will feature in Matt Smith's first year as The Doctor, but ruled out a return of the human characters introduced by his predecessor

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

I could have sworn Alex Kingston was in the trailer though

---------- Post added at 12:01 ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 ----------

apparently River Song is in the 4th and 5th episode of season 5

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

I suspect by 'major characters' he's meaning recurring characters like Rose, Mickey, Martha, Donna, Wilf etc. So far as the likes of River Song (and maybe even Jenny) are concerned, I think it's still game on.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

I think he meant, Martha, Rose, Mickey and others. River was only in a couple of episodes in one series so doesn't count as a main re-occuring character.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Dr Who comes to Swansea: http://www.swansea.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=36001

"The Dr Who road show is in Castle Square 1-3 April, from 11am - 4pm and is a free event"

"Fans of the show can look forward to exclusive footage of the new show on the BBC Big Screen, including the chance to see the Doctor Who trailer in 3D – and giveaways, and fans can also get their photo taken tumbling through the giant vortex.

Visitors will be able to meet some of the scariest monsters that have had viewers watching from behind their sofa for generations as well - but they'll be up close and personal!"

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

took the kids to the pictures yesturday and saw the trailer in 3D! It looked fantastic. well worth the admission price alone. IF you get the chance well worth the look !

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

A few new clips around now, the opening 37 seconds of the first ep are on the official site now

http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw/ep...ideos/p0072jdj

Also on Wossy from Friday night there was a long clip from Ep 6 Vampires of Venice shown.

http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.co...nice-clip.html

Must say the more I see the more I am really liking the 11th Doc already.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

There are photos in the Radio Times of the new TARDIS interior and it looks amazing, lots of levels, stairs and by the looks of it new rooms :) It was built on the location of the Torchwood hub, which is why it is so big.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Nice, very nice :)

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

It really has a clssic Who feel to it and apparently the 70's/80's background TARDIS sound effects are back :)

Even the roundels look a lot like the 80's versions with the way they are styled.

I really can't wait till Saturday :D

I look forward to the new theme tune and opening credits, with all this classic Who stuff I wonder if we will get The Doctors Face in the titles!

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Do I assume from that that Torchwood is Kaput then lol

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

I'm sure I heard rumblings of a USA version (made by FOX) being developed. With John Barrowman in it.

Linkage

edit - and more here....

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

arrr lets hope so :)

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

The hub was destroyed during Children of Earth so even if they do make more Torchwood they don't need the hub set.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

The Hub was destroyed at the end of the last episode but Torchwood can still carry on. Still not sure it has been commisioned though.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

I thought the Hub was destroyed at the end of the 1st or 2nd?

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Well even so it was still in pieces at the end of the last episode :P

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Slightly aside from the main thrust of this topic, did anyone else know that BBC Worldwide has started uploading entire serials of Classic Who to Youtube?

Check it out, there's quite a selection:

http://www.youtube.com/show?p=Ps0e32nFzs0&s=18

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Can I just add it's not season 5

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Nice one :)

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

The ins and outs of production slates is an argument you really ought to be having over on Gallifreybase. Season 5 is a perfectly logical way of referring to it and is what we will be sticking to around here. ;)

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Correct, its Season 31. However, its popularly known as Season 5 (of the revived series) and will remain titled as such here.

---------- Post added at 11:35 ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 ----------

Ace, Planet of the Spiders, I loved that and havent seen it for over 20 years.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Actually I think he was referring to the production team's decision to refer to the new season internally as '1' again. Have a look out for the clappers on Confidential this Saturday and you might spot it. I'm not sure whether they've done it because of the new Doctor or the new production team, but it's a tad confusing either way.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Well.......... there are three ways to look at it

Its Season 31 going by the total time that Who has been running

or its Season 5 since it started back again in 2005

also the new production team called it series 1 when they were filming as its their first series with the new team.

:D

So its is season 5 or 31 or 1 which ever way you look at it. :p:

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

I like the redesign of the daleks this year :D

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Not long to wait now. :)

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Natalie won't dress up as a dalek for me :(

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

The lady has class. :D

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Ten minutes to go and I can't believe how nervous I feel, stupid really.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Don't forget 108 HD

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

ARGH! Missed it :(

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

He's a mad man with a box! Loved it

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

One word: yummy ...

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

I hate the new theme.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

That was great! :D

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

It was a bit frenetic to say the least. Not sure about Mr Smith yet.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Ditto

But Amy (Karen Gillian):drool: , she can place me under arrest anytime :naughty:.

Boy do I love redeads:romance:

FYI

The little girl is Karen Gillians real live cousin.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Like the new steampunk Tardis.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

I have to say the new Dr Who was much better than I'd expected! Great start to the new series.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

I loved the look on Amy's face when the Doctor was changing.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

I was worried that I wasn't going to like it - I loved the way David Tennant portrayed The Doctor.
Saying that though, when Christopher Eccleston left the series I was worried that I wasn't going to like the new Doctor ;-)
But I must say that I'm looking forward to the next episode.
Hasn't Matt Smith got a strange looking head though?

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Dunno ..... Don't think I spent much time looking at Matt Smith ...

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

I really enjoyed tonights episode...Can't wait for the next one.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

By far the best companion yet, Amy is stunning.

Oh and I thought the new series was brilliant.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

I really enjoyed that.

Matt Smith was better than expected, & Karen Gillan was hot.

Already mentions too of what is presumably the arc for the season... ("cracks in the universe", "silence will fall", "Pandorica" (?), etc.).

The trailer at the end...

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

No I didn't - how do you do the spoiler thingy?

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Start your spoiler with a [spoiler] tag, and then finish it with a [/spoiler] tag:

[spoiler]This is My Spoiler[/spoiler]

Gives you:

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

A few screen grabs for you: :D

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Good start to the new season wonder if "silence will fall" is the way of things to come ;)

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

I have to say i loved it, and so did my kids....

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

That was worth waiting for. :)

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

And, yet again, the BBC fail to update all the various iPlayer systems. Not good considering that at a trade conferance I went to, they made a big thing about how it's all automatic.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

The question is what did we miss?

When you look at previous series there where things in the background, barewolf posters etc.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Did anyones else iPlayer download crash 40 odd minutes in? I had to watch the rest of it online.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Spoilers for ep 2

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

Totally agree, for the first time it's lost the Doctor Who signature theme.

The theme was the definition of Doctor who, revamped time and time again since Delia Derbyshire created the definitive sound.
Not sure about the filming style either.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5
 

I loved the episode itself but the theme is rubbish.
I thought I was going to hate the new doc, but he seems to have made the part his own and still has the 'Dont mess with me' attitude.
I was a little confused to why a copper was wearing a mini skirt, then got more confused when the wife hit me for commenting :dozey:
Apart from the concussion, the new DW has all the ingredients for a great series :D
