I'm pretty sure I can ban him. Shall we take a vote on it?

I've just noticed what you're talking about!
I never got the whole Doctor Who thing----even as a kid. I was a Fireball XL5 man.

Doctor Who's good... it's the last one tomorrow night. I don't know what that Fireball thing is Roger, sorry!

Well, considering he started to last week, it looks very likely. But, the planets were hidden half a second into the future (which they made a big point of) so, there could be some kind of temporal paradox in the works. Especially with Rose being in a different dimension and all. And, Rose's Mum and Mickey were in the Doctor Who confidential read-through so I think they may make an appearance too!

I could be wrong.

There are several unconfirmed theories. Do you want to know what they are?

Steve Zodiac, Venus, Robbie the Robot...and some kinda monkey thing. I remember it like it was yesterday, Roger. Dr Who was yesterday(ish), and I've forgotten it already.

Might give it a look in if Robert Carlyle gets the gig though.

One theory says the seventh doctor makes an appearance.

Another theory involves the fact that "Mr Copper Foundation" (which Harriet Jones used to make the subwave) is an anagram of "profound importance".

That was the other one. This one was actually called Robert - but we were close.

No, really - I didn't. I once had fish and chips at the table next to Sylvestor McCoy at Harry Ramsden's in Leith, but he looked like he was using a knife and a fork to me.

He had his hand severed while he was still regenerating, and Captain Jack found it.

Great point, Vulch.
I'm bored with Doctor Who now and his regenerating bits. Anyway, since the current Doctor is Scottish, shouldn't it be Doctor Wha?

At least New Tricks is back for a new series.

Okay, I watched it (Dr Who) tonight with the other kids in this house, and I have to say that even though I didn't really have a clue about what was going on, I really rather enjoyed it. It's come a long way since William Hartnell's day.

No sign of Robert Carlyle though.

It's about characters now... the sci-fi is just background.

Donna's departure has to be the most unfairest of all time; brilliant writing though.
Title: Re: I might change it back . . .
Post by: Tarquin Thunderthighs lll on July 06, 2008, 09:34:21 AM
Oh, come on, Tom - it's never been about the science (it's sci-fantasy, not sci-fi), and it's always been about the characters (particularly the Doctor's) and the monsters. There certainly seems to be more characters than ever before (although I'm told this one was a 'special' which brought together loads of past characters), but what with the attempted destruction of the Universe, countered by the actual destruction of the entire Dalek race, I didn't notice a lack of action or special effects.

Donna was surprisingly good though, I agree.

Catherine Tate was stunningly brilliant.

We all think the ring she is wearing is the Master's, and that she might make a return when he does.

Excellently sad ending.

Okay, thanks for spoiling things, Mince and others.  I have to wait about five weeks for the last episode to be shown here, and I've missed three other episodes that aren't going to be shown again for a while. Donna got on my nerves in the first episode I ever saw her in. I think she's improved a little but I can't say I'm sorry to hear she's leaving.

I can just picture it - you're all posting your ideas, hoping against hope that the Dr Who scriptwriters are looking in and will perhaps pinch your synopsis, which of course you'd be happy for them to do, to the point of deluging them with gushing flattery in a pathetic attempt to sway them. Gosh, it does begin to sound like this forum when you put it like that.

Truly sorry about that, Calypso. I just made up the bit about destroying the entire Dalek race, honest - I'm sure they'll be back...er...one of them was wearing Donna's ring...um....who knows?

Perhaps you can get your own back by telling us what happens in the latest Everybody Loves Raymond...or something?

Calypso, it may be a couple of episodes too far in advance for you, but I've just discovered you can watch the final three Dr Who's in this series here (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00c7ytx), in full in the web. Unfortunately, I can't find any of the earlier episodes so that you can catch up on the ones you missed, but at least you can partially get up to where the rest of us are...er...those of us who actually watch it, that is.

The order to watch them in is 'Turn Left' (on the link given), followed by The Stolen Earth, then Journey's End.

I've just read on the news that 2,500 Dr Who fans are 'irate' because they tried phoning Dr Who's phone number and it wasn't real. What can I say?

It does beg the question: where do they think Dr Who is? Surely, if he's somewhere 'out there' saving worlds, then earth's mobile signals wouldn't reach him anyway.   ???

I would think after all this time that a prudent Doctor Who would have Caller ID on his phone and would have eventually set up Call Block for Mince's phone number.

Or at least a tetchy receptionist to answer the phone and grant him an appointment several light years hence.
