Dr Who

[Mr Mystery]

This was me, watching Night of the Doctor

Genius!

Oh, and then this was me following 'The Science of Dr Who' with Brian Cox...

I really enjoyed that Science of Doctor Who. Granted a fair bit of it went over my head, but the bits I did get were very interesting and the whole thing was entertaining. The experiment with the guy moving the light up and down while he was being moved side to side was excellent.

The only bit I didn't get is why this was on at 9pm. It should have been on at 7pm so that more kids could see it as this sort of thing is exactly what inspires our next generation of scientists. Good thing there is the iPlayer for catch up.

It was a properly good little sneaky show.

The sneaky view in Children in Need last night was interesting...

[Mr Mystery]

Missed the Children In Need one....

Now, time for a suitably Nerdtastic Whovian question.....

Is 'The War Doctor' a proper regeneration? Because if so, that makes Matt Smith the 13th (unlucky for some) Doctor, also meaning someone is out of regenerations....

If this is correct, then who exactly is Peter Capaldi going to be playing? Moffat has said '12 regens, and that's it'.

I suspect Moffat has being telling further porkie pies (the good kind. Like a Melton Mowbray Porkie Pie, as compared to say, Daily Mail 'Happy Shopper Own Brand' Porkie Pies), and some method of gaining extra regens is brought into play.

Anything but 'nah only kidding, he can do it forever and ever lols' because I expect better than that from Mr Moffat.

He already has extra regens doesn't he? He absorbed all River Song's, however many that is, thus fiddling the system.

Also, if Mcgann goes into Hurt, Hurt assumedly goes into Ecclestone. Hopefully we get to see that one in Day of the Doctor and thus get more Ecclestone!

I was under the impression that the amount of regens was managed by the Time Lord Council. With no council, he can do what he wants!

Also I thought all fighters in the Time War were given full sets of regens as a gift.

Besides they're not going to go....whoops all out of regens, better cancel the show for an arbritary reason

I'm just hoping we get a decent story out of that one.

Hell, I'd like Jenny to turn up, find her Dad is dying, then visit the Sisterhood to continue his work.
