Doctor Who

[cassidy]

Well, if they're aiming a two-parter around Easter, surely God or Jesus must be the subject. Satan was the subject around 6/6/6.

Nah I can tell you if you want

Daleks in Manhattan

[toonfool]

You spelt it rong.

I like the idea though.

Just bought my first Who dvd(s). Picked up that new beginings set, can't wait to give it a watch. Are they consecutive stories? I think I'd buy more if the stories were chronologically ordered. What a paradox!

Yeah, they're three consecutive stories. The In the Beginning set works in the same. All the other releases are single stories with not much (as yet) chronological consecutivity.

I wish they'd hurry up and release Robot and Revenge of the Cybermen so that the first Tom Baker season will be complete, as all five stories linked into one another.

That's pants that Tom's 1st season is in incomplete limbo.

Thanks for the answers.

I recall Robot, it scared me as a child, I think it's the only time I actually hid behind the sofa. His first story iirc.

[Harlen Quinn]

Double post.

[sweetdaddyg]

revenge of the cybermen was dire

robot was a nice jaunt tho

They are. A trilogy, as it were.

My first stories, too. Love em.

[Made of Ghosts]

Whaaaat? You're saying that crudely inserting the same foreshadowing word/words into every script no matter whether the reference works or not, is lazy plotting?

Speaking of which... MR SAXON.

If this has already been discussed I'm going to look very silly.

I think its been mentioned, then again I may be wrong. John Simm as Mr Saxon is it?

[cassidy]

Well just a bump to let everyone now the start date has changed again and is now confirmed as 31st March.

So no Easter special episode.

[Garwoofoo]

Whee! That's not too far away.

Much earlier than previous years, isn't it? I'm sure it didn't start till May or something last year.

Season 1 March 23rd 2005. Wont be forgetting that date

Have they changed that 'The Sylvester McCoy Years' image?

[FishyFish]

Robot. Yay! Now we only need Revenge of the Cybermen* for that first Sir Thomas of Baker season.

* Yes, I know it's supposed to be a bit pants, but I haven't seen it in nearly 30 years, plus, as stated, it completes that first season with it's mini-arc.

[Garwoofoo]

Sylvester McCoy looks like he's having a heart attack on that box cover.

[toonfool]

And he's holding Chump's avatar.

[cassidy]

I really like that cover though, especially the fact Ainleys eyes are part of the background.

[Fireproofradiator]

No-one's really having a particularly fun time on that one are they?

Still, I guess I'd struggle to think of one of the DVD covers which do feature anyone whooping it up... Suggestions?

[Fireproofradiator]

Actually, Vaughan's looking pretty happy in this one. And the Cyberman's about to break into a smile.

And the doctor's throwing some moves!

[FishyFish]

Tom Baker always looks very happy in his little boxouts.

Robot in May

Great stuff, i've only got a yarred copy of this from UKNova. Watched it last night funnily enough.

Its amazing how Tom slips into the role.

As for the story, its pretty good. A wobbly robot and some poor effects dont detract from it at all. Toy tank anyone

Hope Tom's doing a Commentary track.

Watching Ark in Space at the moment. I think its one of my fave 'Classic' Who's.

[Moose]

Robot in May

Hooray!

and Timelash in June.

Hum.

[Boyatsea]

What happened to Chameleon Cicuit by the way? I used to get all my covers from there, and it's now dead.

[JBD]

So anyway, I've taken to watching a couple of random episodes on youtube of a evening. Is anyone else doing this? I watched the last episode of Talons of Weng-Chiang (great) and the first episode of The Android invasion (not so great, although it featured Hagbourne, where my aunt and uncle used to live) last night.

There's talk of Michael Sheen taking over from David Tennant as The Doctor:

He's playing Brian Clough in Steven Frears' forthcoming film about Old Big 'Ed too; if he can pull that off then he gets my vote.

EDIT: Plus it's about time we had another curly-haired Doctor.

He's a phenomenal actor. See his performance as Tony Blair, Nero, Kenneth Williams as proof of this.

RTD himself stated he would cast Sheen as the Doctor. Plus he's Welsh so another bonus point from me

[Boyatsea]

I could see that.

I don't want to say goodbye to Tennant just yet, mind.

[JPickford (retired mod)]

I think he's a bit too similar to Tennant. Brian Clough would have been a good Doctor.
