Doctor Who - new series

[lazarus corporation]

self explanatory question.

[nodubmanshouts]

no "i live in america, so have no chance of seeing it in the near future" button?

[lazarus corporation]

sorry - it's my uk-centric viewpoint. unfortunately I don't seem to be able to edit the poll and add a "I'm not from around these parts" option (that's an admin/mod only privilege - so mods please feel free to amend it). you'll just have to abstain for the time being. Time-Being. geddit?

Or download it from one of the many P2P networks it's found itself on.

[hallucienate]

never even saw the old ones. stupid equity bans.

[nodubmanshouts]

It was good then, ey?

[lazarus corporation]

well I've always harboured a geeky liking for it.

And, yes, it was good.

[Andy TG]

I have yet to have seen it - then again it "repeats" on BBC3 On Sunday night at 7pm - which is nice!

[lazarus corporation]

a nice touch from the BBC:

(NB: website containers 1st episode spoilers - and won't make much sense if you didn't watch it anyway)

Not so sure about Billie Piper but I liked the wheelie bin.

[Padstar]

Really liked it, think it works on a number of levels.

Ecclestone as well as being a great actor just works, quirky, alien, hot and cold emotions... cool.
The hour long individual episodes are more accessable for the Buffy generation.
Billie Piper was actually not too bad.
The icons that needed to be there were... Tardis, theme tune, Daleks etc...

Main thing is the peeps making it are fans and care about the subject.... fellow geeks

Come on D00meh..... we are all waiting for the specialist opinion!!!

I thought Chris Eccleston was great.

Billy Piper didn't commit any major acting crimes, hang around with any ginger-media-type wankers, or attempt to sing.

Clive the conspiracy theorist (played by the "new-customers-only" advert guy) was amusing.

New Tardis interior was a little too giger-esque.

[smiscandlon]

I thought it was fantastic. Christopher Eccleston was excellent - he certainly brought a light 'quirkiness' to the role that I wasn't expecting (I laughed out loud several times).

My only slight concern was whether the 45-minute format allows for as much depth to the storytelling as the old 4-part serials.

[Planet Dave]

Bloomin' ace!

'Alien? Why do you sound like you're from the North?'

'Alien planets have a North.'



Yep, Ecclestone was very good. And Ms Piper will never be much more than eye-candy, which she did a fine job of.

Obviously it was Ethan's first taste of the good Doctor, and he loved it. He's five. And yes, he is aware that he may spend some Saturday evenings hiding behind the sofa. I don't think he'll dismiss the possible menace of the wheelie bin ever again.

[eastmidswhizzkid]

always said that all doctor who had ever needed to silence the hecklers was decent special fx.(the film with wotsit mcgann doesnt count-you cant polish a turd.)

[Debaser]

It'll do fer me...and Number Two Son (who, I'm sure, will change his name by deed poll to something suitably Who-ish) has watched it 4 times already

[Dark]

The first thing I did whilst watchingit? Hunted down that search-engine. Found it to have a disclaimer that basically said "This is not a real search engine, it's for TV and films that need a search engine."

Owned.

[Debaser]

And who else heard the spooky Graham Norton and the Strictly another cheapo-made dancing programme, duriong the first 10 mins of the episode??

I KNOW I haven't made it up...the very nice and totally sane people on the Julian Cope forum said so too...

During the first few minutes? Yes, now you mention it, I heard some mysterious applause and some people talking/cheering/something. o.o

[Debaser]

I KNEW I WASN'T DIPPY!!!!!

Huzzah

[nodubmanshouts]

For anyone else who's been denied, there's plenty of trailers and stuff at

http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/

NoDubMan Towers has become a bit of a Doctor Who center in the last 24 hours

Yes. Possibly a cunning plan to make one buy the DVD's anyway. Instead of recording it

Perhaps some of the Autons were applauding Graham "So Bloody Annoying" Norton's show Is there a difference between an Auton and anyone from Strictly Come Dancing ?

Or you could have downloaded the one that's being doing the rounds the past couple of weeks and have no twit overdubs on it

Just caught up on BBC3 tonight -

I thought they did a great job, nice mix of humour and
scariness, considering it has to appeal to all ages...

Look forward to seeing it develop...and not a wobbly set in sight

[Zuma]

And just to add, new HitchHikers trailer is here...

I so hope they have made a good job of it, but fear the worst...
