Doctor Who

Drathir Darthirii · Sat, 27th May '06, 1:27pm

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)?

kuemper · Sat, 27th May '06, 2:06pm

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.

Do the Cybermen have 5 fingers yet?

The Kilted Crusader · Mon, 29th May '06, 1:16pm

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

) on par with Eccleston - not better or worse, though.

Rallymama · Mon, 29th May '06, 1:42pm

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.

Harbourboy · Mon, 29th May '06, 8:06pm

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

Clixby · Tue, 30th May '06, 1:56am

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.

Harbourboy · Fri, 21st Jul '06, 1:45am

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?

kuemper · Fri, 21st Jul '06, 3:21am

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.

Rotku · Sun, 23rd Jul '06, 6:54am

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!

Harbourboy · Sun, 23rd Jul '06, 9:45am

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

Rotku · Sun, 23rd Jul '06, 11:22am

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

Harbourboy · Thu, 3rd Aug '06, 10:46am

Dr Who rocked again this week. Brilliant.

Harbourboy · Fri, 11th Aug '06, 6:28am

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.

Harbourboy · Thu, 5th Oct '06, 8:44pm

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?

zerox · Thu, 5th Oct '06, 9:12pm

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.

Harbourboy · Thu, 5th Oct '06, 9:17pm

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.

Rallymama · Mon, 9th Oct '06, 2:49pm

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?

Harbourboy · Mon, 9th Oct '06, 8:56pm

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

Carcaroth · Thu, 19th Oct '06, 1:26pm

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

Rallymama · Fri, 20th Oct '06, 2:18pm

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

kuemper · Mon, 26th Mar '07, 10:34pm

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

DarkStrider · Mon, 26th Mar '07, 11:54pm

31st March

kuemper · Tue, 27th Mar '07, 12:44am

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

DarkStrider · Tue, 27th Mar '07, 12:49am

It's still Tennant

Harbourboy · Tue, 27th Mar '07, 2:06am

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