Sea Devils And Die: GeroniMoffat's Doctor Who In The 2010s

This makes me terribly sad, but his "comeback" in Battlefield was pretty awesome. RIP, Brigadier.

Aw man, r.i.p.

"You were supposed to die in bed!"

RIP

Godspeed, Greyhound 1.

Seeing posts near the beginning of thread about Mat smith as ugly-hot. I can't get over facial similarity to Frankie Stein (from Whoopee British comic) though mixed with something a lot better looking.

Sad to hear there's still another 2 months before Dr Who returns. Is it split into 2 6 week series this year?

Did I miss anything in only getting one of the Guardian Dr Who audio discs? Will I ever listen to the one I got?

Apparently it's unfinished - the commercial release, when it comes, will be smith and gillan. But gillan's not recorded her bits yet, so the freebie version just has some stand-in actress reading her parts. Which, to be fair, might make it better anyway.

BOOM

:( rip brigadier

The Brigadier was always my favourite foil for the Doctor.

me too

I can't read any more about Nick, it's too upsetting.

Genuinely a chap with wings now.

this is making me tear up a little

RIP Brigadier

Love that pic aldo.

I will bring out the old S/N in his honour one more time

AROOO, this is great

POTUS seemed to slip into Reagan caricature there momentarily. Also, the "monster in the White House" bit is a good lol.

Looked like good old president Bill "Ike" Nixclinton.

if it's set in present-times, there's another timeline crunch for aldo to annotate (though last series' reset button gives them a bunch of leeway)

OR DOES IT, HMM?

I am only going to lurk this year btw. Until I explode in a fit of pique.

Moffatt did do a bunch of in-story handwaving to waft away the remaining aroma of Rusty's continuity excesses, with which he'd been lumbered. (Though he doesn't seem overly arsed about sticking firmly to a new chronology in the wake of that.)

Maybe you and AA can have an irrationally angry about Dr Who thread to vent in?

From the side, I thought it was President Logan from 24 at first.

Would very much like a separate Doctor Who IA thread, tbh (not to participate in, just to read)

xp not watching it this year, staying out of thread &c.

Reel to reel tape recorder suggests nixon era, as does voice (kinda), nose.

I've forgotten everything I suppose I'm supposed to remember from the last series.

yeah, am sure it's meant to be Nixon if any real or real-world-analogue PUSA

I've forgotten everything I suppose I'm supposed to remember from the last series.

Hooray, the rewriting of time and the cracks have worked!

I figured Logan in 24 was based on Nixon as well, so I wasn't far off.

I think we need a new thread for the new series...

VETO

(Spoiler alert/warning)Oh snap.

He's denied it already btw.

it's actually "The Doctor's Sister-Wife"

It's "The Doctor's Wilf", about the fan theory regarding Bernard Cribbins' character, whose name was an anagram of TIMELORD WTF.

Also, this title has form. JNT used it more than once to try and pin leaks down to a specific individual.

please let's not spoiler here

First story set in 1969, so Nixon

Would like to see Ice Warriors again, since a baddies race that actually aren't baddies is more interesting, and they kind of muffed the Silurians comeback by giving it to a dud writer

though it was really obvious it was Nixon from the clip tbh!

Any Ice Warriors story on a TV budget is going to fall short against The Dying Days.

If they do the Ice Warriors, they should totally try to get Emma Thompson to show up as an older version of Benny

so when are they bringing bonnie langford back then

most interesting wtf glimpse occurs at 37 seconds

also what might be a MINOTAUR

the return of NIMON

The season trailers never fail to get me super stoked.

I am super stoked to see ǝןoɔ ʎןıן and Karen Gillan lez up

lily cole has a face like a sullen pudding, so not so much interested in that, thanks

but also super stoked by trailer in general

I didn't see the lezzing up in the trailer. I too am super stoked by that (as much as non-porn lezzing up can ever be super-stoking) but yeh, the whole trailer looks fun. Sad clown sitting on the bed was a bit Shining, I'[ve got high hopes for this series.

most interesting wtf glimpse occurs at 37 seconds

The bloke from Outcasts? BBC SF mashup!

Also, was that a glimpse of the clown from the painting in the hall in the Corden episode?

A bit too stoked for this as well...
