Doctor Who! MUST WATCH

[mimazali]

Tonight's is said to be the best ever!

[Carole]

OH has just arrived home, so just time to sort out his dinner and sit down to watch - I can't believe the series is nearly over :eeeek:

[mimazali]

Got to wait a WHOLE week to find out what happens!

The return of the pepper-pots!!!
Ooooh - d'you think there's the slightest chance of getting a new 'Doctor' in exchange for the ol' gurning eye-popper?

[Susie]

I reckon he will come back as a woman next:catmischevious:

[Leah]

Oooh , just caught up.... that was a cracker of an episode!!!

I don't want him to go though, I like him :(

[Mochali]

I reckon he will come back as a woman next:catmischevious:
Funnily enough, my OH was only saying last night that there hadnt been a woman! :)

[Carole]

The return of the pepper-pots!!!
Ooooh - d'you think there's the slightest chance of getting a new 'Doctor' in exchange for the ol' gurning eye-popper?
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love David - he's the perfect Doctor!

I can't say it was my favourite episode - I don't like the "eveything including the kitchen sink ones" I like the spooky supense filled ones best - and I also still prefer Doctor Who Confidential which follows it on BBC3 more than the actual thing - Mr Tennant is just funny, smart and gorgeous in that and doesn't do any gurneying! One thing that really stuck in my brain from yesterday's episode is that Christopher Ecclestone had never heard "EXTERMINATE!" until a read through (was he raised in a tent in Ulan Bator? :eeeek: )which I guess is why he was a rubish Doctor - David is a fan.

I saw the original Daleks at the Chatham Town Hall when I was little - they are not nearly so frightening trudling around on a a wooden floor when you can hear all those feet shuffling around :lol:

[TinaB]

am with you Carole, I don't want a new doctor either, it was traumatic enough for me when CE changed to DT, now we have had DT for so long, I couldn't bear to accept another Doctor this soon :lol:

[Chrissi]

I have this on my sky+, i'm going to sit down after dinner and watch it but when i spoke to my friend this morning she said it upset her and i have to ring and let her know what i think when i've watched it :lol:

I Love David Tennant :wub:

[mimazali]

Don't want a new DR
:(

[Carole]

Don't want a new DR
:(

Shan't watch it if there is one :(

[Chrissi]

Haven't watched it yet but i thought after this series he was taking a break and Dr Who wouldn't be returning until 2010 with him as The Doctor again??

[Mochali]

What is it about DT that makes him so special...I cant see it? Please tell!

[Leah]

I think [for me] it's his energy and his wholehearted 'suspension of disbelief' and energy and emotion and all the running, I do like the running. He is a bit pop eyed at times, but I loved Sat's and the one in the library where River sacrificed herself had me weeping! :lol: The other Drs seem infuriatingly tongue in cheek, and that really grates on me, why should I believe it when they can't be bothered?

[Leah]

Oh, and he plays it for the romantic hero and I love a bit of that!

[Lucia]

What is it about DT that makes him so special...I cant see it? Please tell!

Me neither - and I can't see the 'romantic hero' aspect at all - all I see is a skinny, pop-eyed, chinless wonder overacting like mad - I could feel the attraction for Ecclestone (?sp) when he was The Doctor - he was truly what the French would call 'a magnificent ugly man'! :D

And speaking of playing a role 'tongue in cheek', I thought wotshisname from Life on Mars as The Master was utterly cr@p and almost made a mockery of the role - I once saw the proper 'Master' - Roger Delgado - partaking of the All-day Breakfast at the Wetherby Little Chef - and even just slicing into a fried egg, he sent shivers down my spine! :catwink:

[mimazali]

Well I like him!

[Banana]

Shan't watch it if there is one :(

:lol: You said that last time!!

[Mochali]

I love him as DR Who, but thats as far as it goes :)

[Carole]

I just love David Tennant - he's believably smart enough to be a Time Lord, and know all a Time Lord would know. OK some of the face pulling is a bit OTT but he has a wonderfully emotive face - just watch his eyes when playing grief is called for, he can say so much without opening his mouth, but when he does - wow! I've read the writers like to give him as long and as complicated speeches as possible to challenge him and try and catch him out, but he always learns them perfectly.

Russell T Grant is leaving Doctor Who, so that's the Mastermind gone, which makes me worry that David will leave. I know he was going to take a year off and play Hamlet ( he'd be brilliant) and then return, so I do hope so.

I've got to agree that in the last series John Sim as the Master was rubbish and the episodes with him in were the weakest ones - mind you he wasn't much in Life On Mars either - not quite as good an actor as that Trumpton plasticine version of him!

[DizzyJenni]

I think [for me] and all the running, I do like the running.

:hysterical:

[Carole]

He ran VERY fast on Saturday and then fell over really well (when he was shot) How can anyone not be impressed by that? :clapper:

[DizzyJenni]

Sounds like an episode of Jackass :lol:

[Leah]

He ran VERY fast on Saturday and then fell over really well (when he was shot) How can anyone not be impressed by that? :clapper:

I was impressed Carole .... I do snigger occasionally at Catherine Tate attempting to keep up.... :catcheshire:

The bloke replacing Russel wrote the library doubler, I did like that one too :)

[cardy]

Me too !

Can't wait for the finale next Saturday !

[mimazali]

I remember the 1st ever DR, and remember him becoming the 2nd.. Jon Pertwee I think it was! SO scared

[Lucia]

I never realised before today that 'running' was such an integral part of what passes for good acting nowadays! ;)

[Leah]

I never said the running was good acting, I just said I liked it! :catcheshire:


Run David, Run like the wind!!! :clapper::clapper::clapper:

[Lucia]

I never said the running was good acting, I just said I liked it! :catcheshire:


Run David, Run like the wind!!! :clapper::clapper::clapper:

Yes, run as fast as you can - see if you can entice that fool Piper to run after you - and don't stop when you get to the edge of the cliff! :catevilish:

[Leah]

Actually I wouldn't object at all to her taking the short cut to the bottom.... ;)

[Banana]

Yes, run as fast as you can - see if you can entice that fool Piper to run after you - and don't stop when you get to the edge of the cliff! :catevilish:

:lol: LMAO You are going to get lynched in a minute!! :lol:

[Lucia]

I don't care - I is in a frisky mood this morning! :D

[Banana]

:shock:

:lol:

[Carole]

Doesn't Billie Piper look different without all that makeup? Like a posh schoolgirl with a red nose.

I remember the first Doctor as well - William Hartnell - he looke very much like my granddad!

[Leah]

He was great! Loved him and John Pertwee, :)

On a slight tangent, didn't Elizabeth Sladen/MaryJane look incredible?

[Banana]

I overhead a conversation earlier that said David Tennant does regenerate and Robert CArlisle is taking over?????????????????????

Please tell me this isnt true?????

:holysheep:

[Leah]

:holysheep:
If it is, I'm off!

The geeky spoiler site I looked on says they really have no clue what is to happen, and are wondering if it 's another parallel dimension and that DT will be carrying on....

Too complicated :catdoh:

[Carole]

Robert Carlyle is the bookies favourite ..... well, I'll have free Saturday evenings again I suppose :(

[TinaB]

:( Nnnnnnnnoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Leah]

Paper says he's going off to play Hamlet... doesn't want to get typecast .

[Lucia]

Paper says he's going off to play Hamlet... doesn't want to get typecast .

Oh, God, you're kidding, aren't you? :shock:
If it's true, it must be a sort of comedy version - there isn't much scope for him to display his two acting skills - gurning and running - in the traditional interpretation of the play!

Gaarrrggghh! :blush

[Leah]

Probably not many levers to pull either ;)

[DizzyJenni]

i hate robert carlisle !

[TinaB]

he kept the leaving bit quiet!!!!!!!!

when CE left it was all over the place.... not watching Dr Who ever again... hate the way the Dr keeps changing :( (in a mump now)

[Carole]

Oh, God, you're kidding, aren't you? :shock:

Gaarrrggghh! :blush

I KNOW he'd be a brilliant Hamlet - his finest moments in Doctor Who have been in the quiet roles - he was never better than when he was John Smith the teacher from WW1 - he can be very subtle, I just don't think you've spotted it yet :lol:

[Lucia]

i hate robert carlisle !

Oh, I like him - at least he can act - I don't know what his runnings like, though!:angelic

[Leah]

Oh, I like him - at least he can act - I don't know what his runnings like, though!:angelic

I'm sure it would be very 'gritty', realistic running.... *yawn* :catcheshire:

[Carole]

I'm sure it would be very 'gritty', realistic running.... *yawn* :catcheshire:

but it will take longer because he's only got very short legs .....

[mimazali]

someone please confirm how many DR's we have had.. he can only regenerate 10 times

[mimazali]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/s4/characters/doctor10

[mimazali]

He is 10th DR. The ruling is that the DR can regenerate 10 times, which would mean 11 DRs?

[Leah]

That would mean stuck with Robert Carlyle forever!

[Lucia]

Here's a little quiz for all you Dr Who experts to have a go at! :D

http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Television/The-Tenth-Doctor-290366.html

[Carole]

I'm not saying how many I scored - but is wasn't many :lol:

My excuse is I only watch it for Mr Tennant .... and your mind starts to go when you get to my age!

[Kalikareem]

I have just sat down and watched last saturdays episode of Dr Who on catch up tv....

I CANNOT believe it...what a con.I didn't know DT was leaving.

I cant believe that I started to snivel when the Prime Minister was 'Exterminated'...Soooooo Brave *sniff*

So now I have to wait to find out who the Dr has regenerated into!!!

I liked Tom Baker the best as the Dr...Dont mind RC playing the part actually,dont watch the episodes that often anyway...

[Mochali]

I dont think he will change :iconbigg:

[mimazali]

They could wind back time!

[mimazali]

Oops
got two!

[Chrissi]

i thought DR Who was taking a break while David went off with the Royal Shakespeare Co then he was returning for at least another series??? I don't want another Dr either, DT is great - he does a lot more than just running Mrs Lucia! :bancan:

[Carole]

This is my hunch as well, especially as there isn't a series planned for next year, just a couple of specials - and I also agree with the second part :lol:

[capricciosababs]

we are watching tonight!
the daleks didnt scare me when was small but those cybermen sure did!
shame if david isnt doing dr who after this hes so good but shakespeares something special as well - so shall watch tonights episode on the edge of the seats together - or maybe behind the sofa?
onder whether the next who will be a woman - wouldnt be the same for us gals would it though?!

[Lucia]

Sighing - I know he does, dahling - he does eye-rolling and gurning as well - I imagine he'll be the worst 'Hamlet' in living memory!:muahaha1:

[Banana]

:lol: Lucia!!

Im going to change your avatar to DT :holysheep:

[mimazali]

Here we go...........

[TinaB]

:woho: no new Doctor :woho:

lucky rose tyler!!!!!!!!!!!!! :tongueroll:

roll on Xmas :lol:

[mimazali]

Cybermen! Aghhhhhhhh

Relief at the DR staying !!!

[Debi]

not what I was expecting, sobbed my heart out at the end. anyone else think Martha and Mick are joining Torchwood?

[DizzyJenni]

He did a funny run coming out of the phone box :hysterical: - i thought of you Chris!

I thought that too Debi!

[Carole]

:stars::stars::stars::stars::stars::stars::stars:


Can I have a David Tennant Doctor Who as well, pretty please????

I'm not sure we've seen the back of Donna either - she's still got a ring with all her Time Lord gubbins in it - and in the meantime Mr Tennant will make the greatest Hamlet since Sam West :nenner:

[Leah]

Hehehe, Chris's worst nightmare, TWO popeyed gurners!!! :hysterical: Lots of running! :yay:

Debi, yes I do!

[mimazali]

Saturday evenings just won't be the same

[Leah]

Saturday evenings just won't be the same

Nope :(

[mimazali]

Might be the time to start watching the entire two series of Torchwood that we have not as yet seen

[Leah]

Might be the time to start watching the entire two series of Torchwood that we have not as yet seen

Seen some, a few very very good, Captain Jack even bigger Drama Queen than the Dr!

[mimazali]

Yes but how tasty?

[Lucia]

:lol: Lucia!!

Im going to change your avatar to DT :holysheep:

Okay - but if you do that dastardly deed, I might just 'lose' your ATC!:bubble:

What a nightmare it was - two of the blighters!:eeeek:

Plus points:-
1. With any luck that's the last we'll see of the fell Rose - wouldn't y'all think she'd have had her roots done and her moustache waxed before appearing on telly?

2. In the absence of maniacally grinning Rose, Tennant seems less inclined to be childishly flirtatious and gurn which can only be a good thing.

3. I liked Mickey, Wilfred, Sarah Jane and K9 - and thought the mad Dalek put in a sterling performance, even though it just had to rely on waving its tentacles and laughing a lot.

Minus Points:-
1. I can't believe that anyone in their right mind would give the wooden Freema Wotsit another bite at the cherry - mind you, even she'll find it difficult to stink up 'Torchwood' more than those already in residence.

2. I might be alone in this, but I liked Catherine Tate and actually hoped for a moment or so that the Twin Tennants would implode and she might go on alone as the first female Doctor.

That's all really - I'm not saying I didn't like it, in fact I found it very enjoyable nonsense, especially the running - at one point I had visions of DT racing, wide-eyed, up and down the battlements chasing the ghost of Hamlet pere prior to delivering a somewhat breathless soliloquy.
I think to make the forthcoming 'Hamlet' a real scream, the producers might consider casting Bumbling Billie as Ophelia and Bernard Cribbins as Polonius! :angelic

[DizzyJenni]

:hysterical: - the only thing i don't agree with, catherine bloody tate STILL drove me mad - she's great in it, until she starts talking like that chav character she used to do... :gah:

[TinaB]

I loved Catherine Tate in it, which suprised me, but she was a hoot!!!

wonder which bimbo will be the next lucky lucky assistant

[Carole]

I thought Catherine Tate was excellent as well - I definately wouldn't exclude a return because as I said, she's still got her ring with all the Time Lord stuff in it - like the watch the Doctor had when his memory was wiped when he was John Smith. It seems there are continual clues in each episode as to what happens in the future. so I think that might be one!

Freema is utterly beautiful, but sadly just being beautiful doesn't mean you can act - although of course, in David Tennants case the two go hand in hand :worthy:

And SARAH JANE should come back as his assistant - she's still brilliant!

[Leah]

Sarah Jane obviously has a portrait up in her attic....
She can't come back cos she has here own show on cbbc where she is defending the earth with help from her 'son' and his schoolfriends.

[Carole]

I've never watched it but you could spend half your life watching Dr Who and it's spin offs!

She is still Sarah Jane isn't she? What has the actress been doing in all those years since she was his assistant and now? (apart from having that portait painted) The blessed David, who is obviously a big Dr Who fan, said that acting with Sarah Jane was a real thrill for him.

[Carole]

Sam Troughton (he's in the Robin Hood thing) - what about him as the new assistant? His dad is David Troughton and his grandad was Patrick Troughton. They love keeping thing in the family on Dr Who. David was in that episode a couple of weeks back when the Doctor minus Donna was stuck in the shuttle.

I'd suggest getting Sean Pertwee in there somewhere but I read that he won't even talk about his dad and Dr Who.

[Chrissi]

Just watched the final too episodes. What i wouldn't give for two DT's!!! :wub:

Very sad ending, is Dervla Kerwin the new assistant? I didn't think i would like Catherine Tate but i thought she was excellent, much better than Freema.

I hope Mickey does go to Torchwood, he brough ta lot of laughs to Dr who (mainly as the butt of jokes) and they'll need that now Owen has gone.
