@cedarbranchtardis – Daleks are much more than that; they’ve just not been used that brilliantly in the series for quite a while (okay, Asylum of the Daleks had some pretty scary moments). What the next season needs to do (as I have heard rumors there will be a Dalek episode) is try and make them less expendable… once you have lots of Daleks…[Read more]

@Barnable @CedarBranchTardis

Re Daleks – we’ve seen them developing throughout the 50 year run of the show. They are driven by hate and obsessed with being the only force in the universe. The Time Lords are what stands in their way. The Doctor has stopped them on several occasions; particularly in the T Baker story Genesis, when he was sent back…[Read more]

@fiveroundsrapid – Nice article. I can understand how pricey certain collections can get as I am a Disney Pin Trader (trust me, this has a huge following) and some single pins can get up to prices over $1000. Not that I’d ever be able to afford something like that. Add the fact I’m also trying to collect the Doctor Who Classic DVDs and I can find…[Read more]

@FiveRoundsRapid @monochromedimension

Thanks for the additional suggestions. I hope @monochromedimension was being mischievous with Trial of a TimeLord. Over 3 months of THE Colin Baker week-by-week would possibly be considered an endurance test by some, including me. 😉

If anyone wants to add to the sum of human knowledge on favourite Doctors,…[Read more]

@fiveroundsrapid – I have not come across those before… at all. Hmmm, hope you find them anyhow!

@confusedpolarity – Yes indeed! And Tom Baker was also my favourite for quite a while (though even before him I guess it would of been Pertwee as he is my (considered) first Doctor), but gradually Hartnell became my favourite, and Troughton second…[Read more]

@FiveRoundsRapid

It’s something due to start again, really. Anyone can suggest a story for each Doctor on the Sofa, and I take a note of when people mention specific stories or “it would be great to see x” from around the Forums. We hope to start it next weekend (18th with Time Meddler).

We ran the first batch between the end of Name of the D…[Read more]

@Bluesqueakpip

Good point about how much the actors age/grow doing DW.   Not necessarily all bad, but it certainly shows in their faces.

Re the schedule – I believe the series 8 filming goes on till August

@FiveRoundsRapid The first few years of BG* Doctor Who had 48 (25mins) episodes/year, filmed every week. 4 weeks off in the summer (was v…[Read more]

@fiveroundsrapid – Yes I had heard something about the animation being halted, perhaps they have found the other episodes? But we know it will be released on DVD now… so either its going to be a long while before its actually released… or they truly have found the episodes. But there have been so many missing episode rumors about…[Read more]

@FiveRoundsRapid Curse of Fenric has some supernatural elements too.

@FiveRoundsRapid Ghost Light possibly

Hello, one and all.

Happy New Year!

And Happy Birthday, dear wonderful forum!

And jelly babies, celery, and Jammie Dodgers all around for reaching, nay, *exceeding* the 1000 member mark.

@fiveroundsrapid– re Capaldi Who- given the re-set nature of the new generations, and I suppose the age of the new incumbent, it might be nice to have something of a return to the start- suppose the male Teacher who gives Clara the Doctors message in TDOTD follows her to the Tardis- he looks like he might like too- and encounters the Doctor, w…[Read more]

Afternoon all. Tis’ the weekend! Welcome to all the new signups.

@FiveRoundsRapid

Liked the link and idea on collections. I remember those Typhoo cards, along with the Weetabix ones that @Whisht mentioned on the Memories thread. I still have a few of each, but not complete sets.

@FiveRoundsRapid: Indeed! Though currently mine are stacked as I am trying to figure out the best place to store them. At least they’re not VHS… that would take up a lot more space… I think I need a TARDIS…

@Whisht: BTW I posted in one of the threads… not too sure what to post in the other at the moment.

I was thinking about getting the…[Read more]

@FiveRoundsRapid – Thanks. I checked out the blog post; its definitely an interesting and less space consuming method of collecting the Classic series. I’ll probably stay with collecting all the DVDs simply because I like the way they look all together though.

@Whisht – Oh I was planning on posting something in those threads eventually, I’ll get…[Read more]

@FiveRoundsRapid

Hi, I meant to reply to you about the post you linked to regarding improving/changing Doctor Who (thanks for the link). I was going to suggest something along those lines for after the new year. Start with a blank slate and do a thread about speculation/hopes for the next series. How it may differ from Matt Smith’s tenure, what…[Read more]

@FiveRoundsRapid

I completely agree with you I’m sick of people branding moffats writing as lazy and not having any specific reason other than they didn’t like the episodes. If you didn’t like them then just say and don’t blame it on him.

also @d12345 tell me if Moffat hadn’t addressed all of the unanswered questions and tied all the loose…[Read more]

@JanetteB

Hope you enjoyed it and have a fabulous holiday

😀

@FiveRoundsRapid

Good question re what would you change. Will have a ponder. (It can’t help but change with the arrival of Capaldi 😉  )
