Something to ware while you watch.



Doctor Who bathrobe - Boing Boing

I'll look out for the rest of the series next year. Meanwhile, if anyone's looking for a replacement for their Autumn Spooks fix, I recommend Hunted, which started this week. I thought it was going to be rubbish, but gave it ten minutes. Looks like it's going to be a great series.

We have the xmas special with the introduction of the new companion (her from the Dalek episode) and then another 8 episodes for Series 7, giving us 14 episodes in all.

I would imagine we will finish series 7 on the fields of Trenzaloe, at the fall of the eleventh, when no living creature can speak falsely or fail to answer, a Question will be asked, a question that must never, ever be answered!!

Series 7 will finish with the Silence.

No the rest are after the christmas special. I'm not sure what the exact reason for the date changes are but they did relocate the cardiff TV studios last year,

Cheers for that.

I have a feeling I'm going to regret asking this question, but is that it for this series of Doctor Who? Five lousy episodes? The excuses for running out of material to make a full series are getting pretty thin. Last year it was apparently because it was impossible to shoot a Summer scene in the Spring. This year not only did they delay broadcast by six months, but they've only shown half a series. Does anybody know what the excuse was this time around?

The German speaking Daleks a few series ago were pretty funny. "Exterminieren". They couldn't invade Switzerland though - as soon as they tried to articulate Swiss German, their voice boxes exploded.

I'm not sure about this series overall - it's too short for one thing - but I think that was a decent episode. And I think the Angels are a brilliant idea, a true classic DH monster that is scary without actually doing anything.

There wasn't much story arc but it could set up a really interesting next story if he goes a bit mad and scary.

This current season has had its moments, but it isn't up to the previous ones - more like the last days of Davies. Hopefully it'll pick up with the new assistant. It's still a laugh and not meant to be taken too seriously - at least Moffat has managed that.

I disagree. This was a fantastic episode. The last episode with the boxes set this one up perfectly. The Doctor has a special place for Amy, you can see it building more and more. As the Ageless God he has to be kept in check of his madness, his psychotic behaviour, his anger by others. What this series has set up, is to show the Doctors anger, his loneliness. The present Doctor is on the border of genius & madness. When he read the chapters in the book you could see him lose control, unable to cope with his loss & subsequent anger. He was not bothered about Rory, but Amy mean't something, it meant a reminder of his own immortality.

When Rory was to sacrifice himself he was not bothered, but again for Amy he was distraught. The suicide scene was a fantastic piece of drama, of course you knew that they would come back, but a moment later, Rory was dead & then Amy decided to join him. Of course in the story they lived a full life, but you get that mix of loss. I admit I shed a tear (then again it was 2am in the morning & I'd drunk a bottle of wine).

I've watched Doctor Who since as long as I can remember. It was a thing I did with my dad when I was a really young before he died. My 6 year old daughter has really got into Dr Who. She loves Amy and it's now a special moment for us to get together, just the two of us, curtains closed, popcorn and watch it(I watch them first to make sure they're not to scary though). I've watched her get scared, hide her face, watch her laugh, even watch her cry when someone has died (only to come alive again). I'm not sure if I will let her watch this episode to be honest, I'm not sure if she is old enough. Even though no-one actually 'dies', there is a great sense of loss & the fact that the characters are gone, coupled with the Doctor & Rivers reactions I'm not 100% sure I want her to see this episode.

So he has a time machine that can take him anywhere, any when. Where are his companions from, modern day London.

Wouldnt it be nice to actually have companions out of time from somewhere interesting, you know someone that actually had to act rather than two people who live in modern day London.

You don't think they're good at acting as gormless middle-class people?


And you miss the point. This all happened in 1850.

Good twist I thought.

The Christmas episode is going to be interesting...
