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

nah, keep this one going until the first special actually airs

xpost - you can usually find DVDs of vintage who on eBay for a reasonable price, if you can view UK format discs.

probably not too many 7-year-olds are going to go to this trouble though, assuming they've got credit cards.

They show them on UK Gold from time to time, but I'm not sure if this will still continue now it's been rebranded.

(UK Gold, not Who)

uktv drama took over the classic dr who but none have been on in a while. They had pertwee and tom baker full seasons so I was happy with that.

Until you've seen the gaydar threads on gallifreyone you've not lived.

lololol

links/examples plz

Basically it's just 486532836673848531648665975 pages of 50yo blokes posting a link to their gaydar pages feat. photos with their nobs out followed by a dozen other 50yos making comments like 'oooh I'd suck/lick/sit on that anytime' etc etc

i'd never even heard of gaydar...sounds great though!

There's also a thread for the ladies to get their jugs out (I can't remember if they were clothed)

Hi,

My name is Will Payne and I am a reporter with the Daily Mirror newspaper. Sorry to contact you out of the blue, but I was wondering if you went to NSB? If you did, did you know Matt Smith? He has just been named as the new Doctor Who and I am trying to write a biographical piece on him for this Saturday's paper, I have been up in Northampton for the last couple of days and am struggling to find anyone who knew him.
If you think you can help me in any way then please get in contact. Either message me back, or give me a call on 07825 044007.
Thanks so much for your help, I look forward to speaking to you.

^ ha, my husband's family had all this pish when Tennant got the gig.

I have been up in Northampton for the last couple of days and am struggling to find anyone who knew him.

Don't admit you work for the Mirror then, prat face.

HE DOESN'T REALLY EXIST!

He is cgi. It would explain the hair.

D, did you report/block for using FB to spam? BTW I call bullshit on 'struggle' to find people, common 'Obi-Wan, you're my only hope' tactic is Tabloids 101.

50% torn toreporting him, 50% torn to feeding him lots of bogus information.

Is it true that in local parlance, NSB translates as 'Northampton School for Benders?'

It's usually Northampton School for Bumboys, actually.

Perhaps my informant was a relic of a more innocent age.

D, why not do both? Bear in mind if you want to send the man snipe hunting, you need a cabal of fellow misinformants to corroborate any planned bullshitting. Also the helpful post of the moby number is like a 77 task waiting to happen amirite?

50% torn toreporting him, 50% torn to feeding him lots of bogus information.

Tabloid people are too vengeful. Just report him.

Bumboys!!!!

Where is this Pet Shop Boys 12" I've never heard?

deleted scene of matt smith being kinda awes (playing the younger version of ralph fiennes' character i think) from In Bruges:

Dom I hope you made some money off the hack feeding him false information

Dubai? fuckin hell

The upcoming Easter special of Doctor Who has been rewritten at the last minute after a double-decker bus was damaged during production.

Writers had to alter the script after the top deck was "badly damaged" as the show was being filmed in Dubai, the BBC reports.

Executive producer Russell T. Davies and co-writer Gareth Roberts were forced to change parts of the script as there was not enough time to fly out a replacement bus.

Show producers would not comment on future storylines, but a spokesperson confirmed that shooting is "continuing as normal".

It was recently revealed that former EastEnders star Michelle Ryan and comedian Lee Evans will star alongside David Tennant in the special, which will be called 'Planet of the Dead'.

A double deck bus crashes into us?

posting these here, we'll no doubt find good uses for them on other threads:

Having an episode called "Planet of the Dead" after a season with both "Planet of the Ood" and "Forest of the Dead" is really annoying me for some reason.

new thread anyone?

nah, keep this one going until the first special actually airs

Is this the first time Who's been shot outside of the UK?

Aside from the McGann one I suppose.

There are some bits in Paris in one old-school episode, I'm sure.

Oh yeah, City of Death.

Two Doctors entirely in Spain. Was supposed to be New Orleans.

(sorry, was supposed to have been filmed in New Orleans, that should read.)

Doctor Who 2009: Vacant Tennant, see?

Did anyone watch the cop show with Matt Smith last night?

Is this the first time Who's been shot outside of the UK?

Part of the Fires of Pompeii was filmed in Rome.

And I think part of Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks was filmed in New York but not much.

Oh, just hearing those episodes brought up makes me cringe.

1.21 jigawatts!

No, they weren't. I remember commenting at the time that the BBC sent the entire Confidential team to NYC to do a puff piece on the story, but wouldn't even send the director on factfinding (it was all in DWM).

Pretty sure I remember that they shot exteriors on Liberty Island and greenscreened everyone into them back in the UK. Although I'm not sure why I care.

I watched a Davison story recently which had bits shot in Amsterdam. Arc of Infinity, maybe?

Yes, there's that one too.

Did anyone watch the cop show with Matt Smith last night?

Yeah. Not much to say - his character was pretty unremarkable.
