Doctor Who

Well Tateslapper wasn't a romantic interest at all.

No excuses for this, it made me chuckle.

Having never gone out of my way to watch any of the 'modern' Dr Who episodes I ended up watching this one all the way through. Thought I'd see how the new Dr was and was hooked! Thought it was pretty entertaining. New Dr seems good, new sidekick was stunning and they had a good rapport early on.

There were some funny parts - especially the scene where he takes that other guys laptop and makes a comment about getting a girlfriend.:p

Dare I say; I'm quite looking forward to watching this now and might have to check out the older episodes with Tennent and Eccleston.
 
The main problem I have with the new series is the fact that it's just one 45-minute story a week. With the classic series you had proper serials that lasted anywhere from two episodes right up to about twelve episodes, you had properly fleshed out characters, story, lore etc. over the course of the serial and everything felt really well developed and you could immerse yourself in the serial.

But these 45-minute episodes are kinda like a flash in the pan, go out to another planet, save the day and back in time for tea.

Thats my main gripe with modern Who, and I'm guessing it's done that way because the world is impatient nowadays and people don't want strung out serials, apparently.

It's my main gripe as well, plot arcs are just needed. Russell Davies annoying habit of making the final two episodes attempt to explain how the whole season has been connected really and then throw together the most rushed season end with several Deus Ex Machina's thrown in to boot was really irritating.
 
So we sat down to watch the new series and then the intro kicks in with its music. The music was already changed slightly in season 4 so why change it so much again? For some reason I sense they are going for the american market more this time around... rather dissapointed they changed the vortex and logos aswell.

As for the new companion! Dam if she was a massive pasty and I was starving of hunger I would destroy that pasty in so many ways its impossible to write them all down lol. She is one hot lass and no she does not need sitting in a tan booth! I hate overdone tans, she is perfect the way she is. My eyes kept getting drawn to her legs and I felt like a pervert lmao, missus didnt click tho which is good lol.

See now, these guys were believable. Well, I grew up with them so I'm probably biased anyway.

There's no timelord 'mystique' about him. I could see him presenting the sooty and sweep show tbh.

Old school Who for the win. This is what an alien attack was like:

Quoted for pure awesomeness.
 
Doctor - Didn't like him when i first saw him, but after the episode, yes, i think he could do well.



Assistant - hot and very watchable



Tardis - wtf have they done to the interior? :(



Episode - Cracking! Scary, fun and interesting! Classic Dr Who!
 
Those classic screen grabs have reminded me...whatever happened to The Brigadier.

Was one of my absolute favourite characters. They should bring back The Brigadier !!
 
I think most of you miss the point with Doctor Who.
He regenerates and therefore he becomes different which takes me about 2 nano seconds to get used to the new character.
I can't ever think of a time when I thought 'What have they done?' and I was there from the start (of course my Daddy explained it to me when I was lad).
And where can I get the new theme from - it's brilliant?
I want my band to come on to it.

With regards to the older Doctor Who shows are there any recommendations as to which ones to pick up?

It's such a shame that they're never repeated :(

Which Doctor's stories do you want to start out with? Ideally you start from the beginning but it doesn't really matter to be honest whether you want to watch the first Doctor serials or the seventh Doctor serials.

The Brigadier has appeared recently in the Sarah Jane adventures, so it's certianly possible that he could be back, especially as Moffat is much more in tune with classic who than Davies (as already seen by comments about the other rooms in the Tardis and so on).

Classic who is on all day on Sci-Fi today again :)
