[Liz]

Havent been keeping tabs on Dr Who due to my lack of interest in the 2 main parties. :shrug:

Hear there is a new companian -

is this right, and what about the doctor???

More details on the new companion. Looks as though we'll have Matt Smith for at least for the new series.

Been good to watch the previous series with David Tennant on ABC2 these last few weeks. :thumbsup:

[Liz]

Yes, have been doing the same. :)

[Liz]

What a fabulous episode of Dr Who .... :sadeyes: .... The Dr, the Master, gallifrey ... death ...... and nearly no Donna. :sad::sad::sad:

[Liz]

:sad::sad::sad:fabulous, good bye David, one of the best episodes ever!!! ..... his last words was that he doesnt want to go!!!

[Paddy]

John Simm was just fantastic as the Master. New companion looks pretty much like Amy without the red hair. David Tennant was such a good doctor.

[Rob P]

Sounds as though something interesting is planned for the anniversary.

Hmmm ...a big year ahead ... missed quite a few of the new episodes when they were on, but with things heating up, and some main character .... ah ... dying .... I will them a go again. :rolleyes:

I'm so out of touch with the Doctor. I don't have telly so miss out and just plain forget to watch out for new eps.

[Rob P]

JJJ - you are redeemed by the power of the computer and ABC's iview player! Episodes are posted for up to 14 days after airing on the TV. Enjoy :thumbsup:

Where is it up to for you guys in Oz?
Are you guys all caught up?

I'm loving the change that Moffat has had with the writing, Russell T Davies nearly ruined the show for me, finally we don't have a wet Doctor. Don't get me wrong Tennant was a great Doctor but the writing was abismally non Doctoresque, way too much emotion for me.

Still just seen the teaser for the new season, looks good but it's a shame we have to wait so long.
Hopefully the easter special will be better than the christmas one.

Hi Guys,

looks like I am not the only Dr Who Fan. So here is the Question...

In relation to the last five series of Dr Who which do you consider to be the best episode?

For me it has to be "Blink" with David Tenant and the weeping angels.

:)

Regards PAul.

[Liz]

No idea as missed so many, when didnt bond to the new Doctor. :shrug:
David Tennat withdrawals. ;)


Ooh, not sure Paul, so many, Weeping Angels was certainly great. Recently watched the episode where David Tennat died, and thought was wonderful (not that he died :sadeyes:) but with The Master, and members from Gallifrey.

[TheDecepticon]

Thanks for that, looks cool! :thumbsup:

Hanging for the new episodes! :sadeyes:

I really don't see why Matt Smith is so bad. I think he fits in quite well and I did get sick of the touchy-feely David Tennant episodes. :rolleyes:

Any Doctor is better than no Doctor! :D

[Rob P]

Paul,

Liked the weeping angels; but have to watch it when the youngest has gone to bed - it frightened the living daylights out of him. It was fun the following day at the Anglican school trying to explain to the Chaplain why he was frightened of angels. Took a serious amount of effort not to giggle - the Chaplain was very sincere but not a Dr. Who fan!!!

Personally - any episode with John Simm/Master. Thought he was good in Life on Mars as well

[JB80]

Paul, I tend to agree that Weeping Angels is close to my favourite but The Impossible Astronaut or The Rebel Flesh are up there and possibly the best moment comes at the end of The Eleventh Hour.
It's kind of hard to pin-point one epîsode with so many of the story lines crossing over.

I think The Silence were brillant as an enemy.

[omegacrux]

Everybody seems to forget Christopher Eccelstone not sure of the spelling , but I thought he was pretty good , and guess my ring tone da da de dum repeat ,cool !

[hotspur]

Yes,he was very good,enjoyed him as much as David Tennat.Really think David is my pick,enjoyed watching the repeats lately.Cannot quite take to the new doctor or his companion or the new darleks:shrug:.Have given the new lot a miss.

[mbyrr]

Tom Baker is still my favourite Dr Who. :D

[gel]

last 5 seconds oh Fu i mean fruit

[Gem]

Like both David Tennent and Matt Smith. Both good in different ways. Some older Doctor Who fans seem to take some things a little too seriously. ;) Doctor Who is at its best when it is fun splashed with a little fearful tension. Chris Eccelston didnt have his heart in the role, and it showed for me.
Amy and Rory have run their course... time for new companions.

[Erg]

Tom Baker is awesome as Dr Who.

Best Doctor ever.

Any Doctor is good, as long as there is one! Series 7 will be here soon, I hope?

[Rob P]

A little bit of info. Hopefully not too long now....
