Doctor Who 2008: Sontarans cometh, RTD Ood 'ave 'im etc.

It has a white question mark on a blue field? (sorry but could be homage to prev dr)

Seems to be wearing Tennant's clothes in the pics with the new companion as well, so presumably the Moffatt/Smith era begins straight after the regeneration?

that would make sense. it's unlikely you'd see more of Matt Smith in RTD's final episode than you saw of Tennant in The Parting Of The Ways.

Can I make my "RTD is furiously scribbbling with his crayons" joke now?

I've probably posted this guy before, but there are new clips up:

was a DT and K9 cameo in Sarah Jane Adventures this afternoon (2nd part tomorrow)

xpost: Great stuff - the dandified early 70's look of Jon Pertwee and Roger Delgado makes an amazingly perfect fit with the Japanese concept of "Elegant Gothic" style.

Moffat is writing six of the 13 episodes.

Also "I always liked the Tardis from the Peter Cushing [Dr Who] movies, and wanted to make it more like that".

Sounds like they might be doing the RTD finale part 1 on Xmas Day and part 2 on New Year's Day.

did we see the thing yesterday when he revealed (on gmtv?) that the special will be mid-november?

Moffat is writing six of the 13 episodes.

Good thing in my book.

Yeah, it's not like he's a first draft writer.

Watched those two SJA eps this morning. Tennant at his worst, he just seems to be trapped in a loop of the same five or six mannerisms over and over agan. Really can't wait for this regeneration.

I wish I could suggest ban Matt Smith.

i assumed we all thought this a good thing!

i don't think he is doing the Dalek episode(s) i've heard about tho

Fuuuuuuuuuck Dalek episodes.

They'd better not fly about this time. Hate it when they fly.

but if they didn't there would be the shit stairs escape every time

I don't mind them levitating! Just all the flying through the fucking air in foramtion shit. What a cheat that is.

(lol im drunk)

First time (nuWho first time, at least), when Lynda-with-a-Y was trapped and they all showed up out the window in front of her, that was cool, millions of them, being scary as fuck and flying and shit. Now, they are really really tedious.

I'll be honest, only the first Ecclescake dalek ep did anything for me (and that can't ever have happened now under Rusty continuity). Never been that huge a fan of the daleks, my favourite stories with them in (The Mutants excepted) are the ones with other plots in them, like 'Day of...' with the time travel predestination stuff. Oh, and technically daleks have always been able to fly for almost as long as we have known them (in the 'date shown on screen context) - they have "anti-gravitation disks" as far back as 'Dalek Invasion Of Earth'.

On Tennant in SJA, I thought the opposite, that he worked far better in that precisely because he's reduced to a couple of crap gurns and if his Doctor is always going to be played that way rather than do it on something more obviously targeted at younger children than the main show. Still would rather have him on neither, mind. And this series of SJA hasn't been that great, although YAY for K9 being back.

Do I need to seek out these SJA eps to be adequately prepared for the November special?

I don't think there's anything you need to know (except a hint that the Doctor will "go through a gateway", which may be a reference to the upcoming animated thingy).

UH

I am lolling at the 'actor' names at the bottom of these DVD covers.

Having investigated the website I am not sure exactly how RONG these are but I need to continue to investigate to find out.

I am watching K9 & Company. IT IS GRATE AND YOU ARE ALL RONG. (Haha, the swinger subtext line has just been uttered.)

Notice they haven't tried to make Sylvester McCoy into a cute manga chick.

Manga Brigadier is perhaps the wrongest thing.

intrigued by those shots of new TARDIS interior. looks nicely jules vernish.

rewatched numerous DT episodes a few weeks back and i really like The Impossible Planet a lot now - Rose hurling her phone to the ground after receiving the "he is awake" message is a fantastic moment

But if I have understood the sick world of manga that is Colin Baker.

you're quite right, but this is Mccoy I think

Even in manga he is a troll.

lol @ the Doctor as manga schoolmarm

also lol @ Colin Baker as fiesty

sick sad world

Hot McCoy here:

Is that sposed to be Ecclestone in the front?

looks like Ace in the front?

Wish I could have watched that with some young kids.

Ah, it was okay. Proof will be whether I've got them climbing into our bed tonite cos they can't sleep. Roll on the Moffat era.

Trailer for Christmas was more exciting than the episode. Like the idea of doctor off the rails though. Will he crush coal to make diamonds next

Or whether they'll have a bath??

Pretty good I thought. A hell of a lot better than the last one anyway. Bit confused about what the Ood have to do with anything, but I guess it'll be cleared up.

No eating carrots ever, either.

loved this mostly - getting awesomely dark now

Bit confused about what the Ood have to do with anything

goes back to when it said his song was ending, telepathic link etc.
