Dr.Who

[zebra]

Has anyone else been watching the series? Im sooo hooked - special FX are great as the storyline and cast, but I love all the quirky things too.

My friend works on the sets and my other friend played one of the daleks in the last series so I get a few snippets of whats happening and whats coming up.

Did anyone notice the drum beats in last nights, it is the same beat used in the intro music? They have been running lots of quests for big fans to spot in this series.......most go over my head til someone points them out to me.

Last time I was hooked was when the fantastic John pertwee was the doctor!!! shows my age now!
Can't wait til next wk's episode.

If anyone missed last nights its well worth a watch tonight as its repeated. Look for the SAXON references!

TORCHWOOD- anagram for Doctor Who!

When was the anorak give to me! ;)

[mjbelkin]

I've been watching it - so far my favourite episodes this year have been Human Nature/Family of Blood and Blink :D

[zebra]

Family of blood gave me the shivers........ very creepy.

[Peter]

Did anyone catch all the Douglas Adams references last night? He wrote a few episodes when Tom Baker was the (best ever, until now) Doctor, but Russell T Davies must be a Hitchiker's Guide fan too! :)

[zebra]

Deffo elements of the Hitchhikers guide in Dr.Who........Tom Baker was ok...but Pertwee my fave.

Loved Toms scraf though ;)

Russell is a genius...........would love to see him do a rehash of THE TOMORROW PEOPLE!

[heavenlygirl]

Ive been watching the doctor who series religiously too, think its great, altough christopher eccleston was my fave. David Tennant has grown on me though.

Was pretty good last night am really looking forward to next weeks episode.

Has anyone been watching Jekyl, is he scary or what!!! That was a brill episode last night too. addictive tv.

[beadsbydesign]

Tom Baker will forever be Dr. Who.

I find nowadays that I can't watch. I find it far to scarey!!!

[heavenlygirl]

Tom Baker was the Doctor who i remember from being a kid, i used to love K9.

[JBJB]

I missed last week's episode thinking I'd be able to catch a re-run on BBC3, but, no, they've been showing Glastonbury all the time.

Last night's episode therefore didn't make much sense to me, but it was still worth it for the scrummy David Tennant and John Simm - yummy!

[zebra]

AFFIRMATIVE - MASTER ;)

Always wanted a k9

Only seen snippets of J n H ....Wished id watched it...how many more episodes to go?
But what I saw was very good - scary stuff

[heavenlygirl]

dont know how many more episodes to go but as long as it stays as good as last night i dont care.

When he killed that lion and threw it on top of the black van was incredibly cool, even cooler was where he stuck the note.

Will watch the rest now for sure. Who was the women that dissapeared in the room?
Hate playing catch up on something.

So the note was in the lions ear?!! ;)

[heavenlygirl]

Thanks for the tip but no go as yet.....will check out for repeats on the tv this wk.

But did find a clip of David tennat I had been looking for! ;) Have a blimp at my other post......worth a look.

I have mentioned him playing a part in Rab.c.nesbit for ages and nobody else could remember....always remember odd things but never were my car keys are :confused::):D

[Annette]

Aw Zebra - someone else who remembers The Tomorrow People. I so wanted to be able to jaunt everywhere!!

I loved Jon Pertwee, he's the one I remember best.

Jekyl - That was 2nd episode last night and there are six altogether. Flipin Scary when Hyde comes out to play!!:mf:

[swirlyarts]

Moved this one too in the non crafts section. I love Dr Who and can't wait for the last episode next week - did you see the trailer?? Looks very good!!

[Tip Top]

He played a barmaid!!

[mjbelkin]

I think John Simm is brilliant as the Master :o

[zebra]

I agree...Thought he was ace in LIFE ON MARS too :D He is really camp in this but creepy too.

Brilliant stuff, can't wait til next wk.

Here come the drums-here come the drums........................

[JBJB]

I only got the fact that they were at the end of the Universe. What other Hitchiker's reference were there?

[mjbelkin]

Have you found yourself tapping out the drums? I keep catching myself doing it :o

God that film was a bit gory - loved it though - sat watching it late at night myself and really frightened the crap outmyself. Never realised Christopher Eccleston was in it though.

Cheers.

[Seahorse]

He seems to pop up in the oddest of films then dissapear for ages.Ive not seen him on tv since DW!

Did you watch the SAW films? now they were creepy but a brilliant storyline.

[Seahorse]

Have you seen 28 Weeks Later? Absolutely brilliant :D

Yep,a fantastic sequel.
Apparently there was footage after the credits ran at the end, did you see it?
Loved the end of the film in Paris!!

[Seahorse]

Am I wrong to say that thingy Simms doesnt do much for me?Didnt watch Life on Mars.

I watched the original SAW, but haven't seen any of the sequels - just a bit too creepy for me :mummy:

You didn't watch Life on Mars?

But that means you missed out on the Camberwick Green sequence (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnRYQwOY0xw)

:o

[Seahorse]

Hehe, amazing how the little figure actually looked like him!These figure making people are so clever.
I saw him in in a Van Gogh thing around Christmas I think, it was good.

[swirlyarts]

Oh you are soooooo wrong!! I tell you, Mr Swirl doesn't get a look in at the moment when Dr Who is on - him and DT - yum yum yum!!
Life on Mars was fantastic!! I loved the sequence of him on the roof with the music playing - weird lyrics but so fitting to the story!

[JBJB]

Mr Simm seems to play men who are slightly troubled in their minds - is it wrong to like that kind of man?? ;)

I think its coz he reminds me of a guy I know that has gotten nto my bad books over the years.
I can see what people see in him tho,just does not much for me.

Nope, give me Wolverine anyday.Il help unscramble his brains..if ya know whada mean.

Roof sequence was Exc I agree.

Sssssh: I will get shot if I say too much but.... the next series is set in the 80,s and will start filming next mth in London along the docklands mostly.
Music will be 80,s of course and Bowie again will be used. Maybe more than in the last!!! hint! ;)

Next series is called ASHES TO ASHES

Inside info is not that I have anything to do with Bowie or his website ;);)

‘Ray, fire up the Quattro!’ ....bring it on

[zebra]

Nope, give me Wolverine anyday.Il help unscramble his brains..if ya know whada mean.

Wolverine....woof woof-bow wow-pant pant :D;)

[JBJB]

I agree Life On Mars had a brilliant climax to a fantastic series and concept.

However, me and my mum are at loggerheads as to whether the ending meant :

a) he died in the current day when he jumped off the roof because the radio in the car in the seventies said "we're losing him......."
b) or did that mean he actually time-travelled to the seventies and they were losing him from the present day.....?

I favour answer (a) that he died. But then I'm a realist, not a romantic!

[Seahorse]

Wolverine....woof woof-bow wow-pant pant :D;)

Youve got a fight on your hands, he's mine allll miiine!!!

Romantic....B ;)

He died - there's an article somewhere where the writers tell us exactly what the ending means, and I've found it. Here you go, some answers (http://blogs.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ianwylie/2007/04/life_on_mars_the_answers.html)

Top article, thanks for posting....Keep an eye out for some interesting cameo's in the next series!

Can't watch Simm now without thinking of Camblewick green :)

[mjbelkin]

I just love the way the announcer so matter of factly asks "Is Gene Hunt beating up another nonce?"

:D

I loved all the little flashes of humour in it - can't remember any of them now obviously .... but most of them were uttered by the irrepresible Gene Hunt!

[swirlyarts]

Just discovered that John Simm is from Nelson which is just down the road from Bunley!! I wonder if he has relatives up here that he visits from time to time - mmmmmmm

[Seahorse]

Was in Londinium yesterday and saw that John Simm is in a play at Trafalgar Studios.

Glad you saw that, forgot to add it to your list I put on your trip thread.

2 things re Doctor Who.

I heard this morning Kylie is going to be in the Christmas special which is fantatstic but its based on the Titanic!Cant picture Kylie in big bloomers.Maybe she will be some kind of alien.

Also, when The Master speeded up the Dr's age by 100 years,the Dr os 925 years old anyway and looks pretty good,so how come he got older?

[mjbelkin]

The Doctor doesn't look as old as his years because of his regenerations, but each 'body' ages normally.

Ahhha, see what you mean.

I read that a new assistant is to be announced as Freema wont be in all of the next series.
I heard it may be that male Doctor in the last episode, he was alos a doctor in Enders, but he died in the last DW!!
We will have to wait and see.

[Sparklez]

[quote=Seahorse;36633]but he died in the last DW!!

Ah! But he only died in the future. One of Freemas last sence was calling him at the hospital, and hanging up.

[zebra]

Thought Dr.Who was brilliant...so tongue in cheek [loved the scissor sisters bit]

When the doctor shrank it reminded me of something out of harry potter.

I here Russell t davis is only doing one more series :(

THE FACE OF BO!! I was gobsmacked.....great writing.

Oh yeah, that was great!!Does this mean Capt Jacks head is going to get extremely large and end up in a jar!!?

[Sparklez]

Me too!! my face literally went :o

[Seahorse]

You can imagine,as DW is mainly for kids, they just go 'yeah, whatever' and us grown ups are going 'oh my goodness, that was amazing' etc.

Reckon we are kids at heart.

[handmadeheaven.biz]

well, dr who got smaller when he was very old, maybe us humans get big heads when we reach very old age?! i mean, look at old man's ears...!

[Seahorse]

Catherine Tates going to be one of his assistants!

[beadsbydesign]

My DH can't wait for the kylie episodes!

[mjbelkin]

Catherine Tates going to be one of his assistants!

For the whole series :eek:

I'm am seriously not a happy bunny about this - I can't stand the woman :mad:

[heavenlygirl]

I like the captain jack character best, dont care if he is gay doesnt lose any of his appeal, loved him in torchwood, thought that was a great spin off, hope they bring it back!!!

[mjbelkin]

Torchwood is definately coming back, and Martha will be seen in a couple of episodes of that, but please please please reveal that Catherine Tate as a companion is a hoax :confused:

Me too as long as he still looks like Spike I'll be happy!! Love James Marsters - never really went for Angel though. I haven't see the first series of Torchwood yet - is it out on DVD yet? Going to persuade hubby to buy it - for the continuity with Dr Who, not the gorgeous John Barrowman obviously!
I'm with you on the Catherine Tate thing too - I think she is an excellent impressionist (I love Nan) but I think she tried too hard as Donna. It'll be interested to see how she plays it.

Didn't really like Torchwood that much - Captain Jack is just so much less fun in it, and the main characters just got too annoying. You have to be able to empathise with them a bit, otherwise you end up not caring if they get fed to a tree shredder.

Don't like Catherine Tate at all, not her comedy, and certainly not her attempts at acting.

We've just downloaded Heroes, and have watched the first 8 episodes of that. It brilliant :D

My favourite is Hiro - he's great :D

[heavenlygirl]

The heros series is fantastic very compulsive viewing, Hiro is definatly fave character.

Cant wait for torchwood to come back on also.

Dont think i likethe idea of catherine tate as dr whos sidekick, she could get very annoying!!

Not going to happen, now that I've read you other posts in this thread.

I heard that 'here come the drums here come the drums' song earlier.
I think it will always remind me of DW!

I wonder if Mr and Mrs Swirl will be talking to each other come Friday?

Not if he carries on like this......

Theres a fanatstic picture of Kylie on the Radio one website.
She plays a waitress on the Titanic and still manages to look fab!!
