Those Cybermen the last two weeks were freaky, and it was really sad last week when Mickey stayed behind to prove to the Doctor that he wasn't the "tin dog". David Tennant is waaaaaay better than Christopher Eccleston - he's funnier. Does anyone else watch Doctor Who? What's happening on it tonight (if it's on)?

I watched it on PBS in the states for years and the one season when CBC carried it (Eccleston). Unfortunately, CBC didn't pick it up again. :bad:

Do the Cybermen have 5 fingers yet? :lol:

I watch it. It's really good, with some witty script and half decent acting. Tennant is really good as the doctor (considering his first job was a transvestite on Rab C Nesbit :p ) on par with Eccleston - not better or worse, though.

I love Eccleston as the Doctor! I have to say, I really like the new series, especially the script writing - gone is the campiness of the Tom Baker days.

Bring back William Hartnell! The Doctor is supposed to be OLD! :geezer:

I personally preferred Eccleston to Tenant, mostly because Eccleston was so much more interesting, and less shrill. Tenant just seems like a watered-down comedy Eccleston.

Plus, Tenant stole my style.

And to be honest, the writing in this series has had it's shiny parts, but it's mostly been sub-par, with plenty of mushy crap like with that Cyberman: "Where's my husband? I'm cold..." pssh. Please.

Cool, I stumbled upon an episode of the new Doctor Who last night and it was actually quite good. David Tennant was pretty Doctor-ish, although Billie Piper was a bit naff. It was a one-off episode about some werewolf trying to eat Queen Victoria. Brilliant. Do they still do those six part cliff hanger series? I saw a preview of next week’s episode and apparently he meets up with Sarah Jane and K9!! How cool is that?

AFAIK, it's only 2-parters such as a season finale and everything else is wrapped up in one episode.

Is there anywhere in Canada that this is being shown? CBC quit after Chris Eccleston left.

What channal, Harbourboy? Please don't say it's sky or one of those things! Use to be on Prime last year, and loved it!

Yeah, it's still on Prime, Rotku! Watch next week for Sarah Jane and K9!

Don't get Prime here... Will have to get my parents to tape it and watch it during the holidays :)

Dr Who rocked again this week. Brilliant.

Ooh, Cybermen were on last night (well, parallel Earth versions of them anyway). This new Doctor Who rules. So glad it is back and it doesn't suck.

Man, it was the final of Doctor Who last night. It was really sad! Poor old Rose.

I wonder if and when it will be back.

I wonder what a Doctor Who based DnD character would be like. Bard? Thief? Wizard?

I'd say bard, he wins his fight through a combanation of knowing absurd ammounts of infomation, and persuding people to do what he wants them to do.

The sci-fi channel just started showing the second season of the new doctor in the states, they just started the second season last week, and tomarrow night is the werewolf episode.

Yeah, he would have astronomic intelligence and charisma. Maybe high constitution as well. But no strength or melee skills. Bard probably is right, because he mostly influences other people.

We're well behind, having just started watching the third episode of the David Tennant era. Loving it so far!

The actress who plays Cassandra - the skin-with-a-face - seems very familiar? Where do I know her from?

Lady Cassandra, the *****y trampoline, is voiced by Zoe Wanamaker, who has been in loads of things, such as:

- Madam Hooch in the Harry Potter movies
- Tessa in Love Hurts
- Susan in My Family

... and one of the twin sisters in the BBC adaption of Gormenghast.

Madam Hooch! That's where I know her from! Thanks a million, Harbs.

Anyone from the UK know when the new season is airing?

31st March

Are we still watching Dr. #10, or did David do a runner?

It's still Tennant :)

Tennant is a great Doctor Who, in my humble opinion. Who's the new companion then?

Martha Jones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha_Jones) is the newest companion, according to what I've seen on the web.

Sorry to ressurect this old thread, but time passes so quickly when you get to my age, and it's in keeping with the time-travel theme here....

Anyway, just watched the finale of Dr Who on the weekend (The Stolen Earth and Journey's End). What a cool show. I hear they're not making the next series until 2010 or something. How can we wait that long?!

Did anyone else watch this?

I too try to stay up-to-date where the Doc is concerned! Been into the show since Dr. Tom Baker! :D

Tennant does a great job and the writing is cool too! It's jut hard to keep up since the German networks are still somewhere with the first or second season!

Gottta ask my brit. neighbour more!

So you haven't yet seen the end of the latest season then? It was awesome.
