Dr Who

[DrLove42]

Couldn't find the old thread.

Trailer for the 50th special is out now...



I am so god damn excited for this

My theory for Hurt's doctor is he'll be the one from the Time War....but its also been rumoured he's a doctor from been 8 and 9

Jaw has dropped. Nerd has Gasmd.

It would make sense for Dr Hurt to be between the rubbish one (McCann) and the just as rubbish one (Northern, name cannot be recalled right now!).

And it's the day after payday to boot. Phone will be off. Door is not to be knocked. I am not to be disturbed at all. On pain of death. And afterwards, likely off up the pub, see if I can't summon a Beer Tardis to get me home to mark the 50th.

I thought this was already confirmed/obvious. Aside from anything else, the trailer has the Hurt Doctor reaching for the Moment, which IIRC was the thing he used to seal the Time War (at least according to the Time Lords who showed up in the Tennant death story where the Master was using the Shin Hadouken like it was on sale).

I am very psyched for this, especially considering 'The Five Doctors' is the best Old Who adventure after 'Genesis of the Daleks'.

Kind of bad that the BBC has snubbed all the other surviving Doctors though. Colin Baker and Paul McGann are totes cranky apparently and I don't blame them.

[Aenir]

well, its possible thye might still be in on it, you know how the folks making the show like to keep their secrets! (im actually hoping for that to be the case as I didn't see much of the old ones)

Seeing as Colin Baker virtually buried the show, to the point where the frankly excellent McCoy couldn't resurrect it properly, he can suck 'em.

And Paul McGann isn't a proper Doctor.

To quote the great Larry Hama, creator of most of GI Joe's modern background - "every character is someone's favourite*."
For me the 5th, 6th and 7th doctors are who I grew up with, and I remember the 8th very fondly, so for such a big anniversary to to acknowledge them seems foolish. And keeping it secret doubly so as it just annoys people who wanted to see them.


*Except Joffrey, nobody likes that guy.

Colin Baker was SCREWED by the producer of the show (in every possible way). There's a lot of history with that to look up but it wasn't his fault. Check out some of his Big Finish Audios for stories that are 1000X better than ever actually aired.

And also since I brought it up, after listening to the Big Finish McGann audios-he MY Doctor. (then again, they all are, aren't they?)

Yes he is and after watching him in that mini episode, I really badly want to see him given some more screen time cos he deserves it. I enjoyed those few minutes with him more than the entire run of the last series with Matt Smith.

I was under the impression that all the surviving doctors were going to be in it. Have we had it confirmed that it's just tenant and hurt?
