This is for me the least anticipated series of Who since the final Rusty one. Last one was kind of a mess, despite some great episodes. Moffat is so much better as a guest writer than show runner IMO. I do really like Matt Smith, though.

1. I'm burning season 5 for someone and trying to get it all on one 4.7GB DVD and trying to include "Blink" -- I'm not going to screw up any canonicity by leaving out the Silurian two-parter, right?
2. Just watched Hartnell's "The Daleks." Wow, do I hate Ian Chesterton. Also, strangely not bothered by the hokey lack of sophistication that bugs me with a lot of classic Who.

The Silurian lesbian crime fighter from Victorian London in S6 will make less sense.
Ian Chesterfield will always be good. I love The Daleks/The Mutants/Serial B etc and would (and have in the past) suggest it's top 10 of all time.

Yeah, you need to tell them to watch the last 10mins of Siluria on D4ilyM0tion or something.
Wow, do I hate Ian Chesterton.
Went back in time to SB you for this.
Daleks/Mutants is monster but waayy too padded at seven eps, when you're not watching week-by-week and not knowing anything about what comes next. Let's go back and forth between the Dalek city and the Thals camp AGAIN!

Grrr, he's totally a Season 1 Will Riker, being the "charismatic" young dude who keeps upstaging the older/ranking main character. His chauvanism is also nagl, imho.

I'd say he gets his comeuppance enough so that his character isn't actually a problem on the show -- doesn't mean I have to like that character even if its OG as it gets.

Disappointed that yet again they went with pretty 20something female. I'd welcome anything else, even if it meant James Corden.

Bum. Only 6 episodes this year.
After the six episodes broadcast in the Autumn/Christmas this year, the remaining eight will be shown next year, with Moffat adding: "Oh, there'll be more episodes than just those eight, but these are the ones we're making right now." No other details of when and what else will occur during the 50th Anniversary have been revealed as yet.
I'm hoping the new companion isn't from present-day Earth. Always more fun when they're aliens or from the past/future

Just realised they're probably doing the split season thing so Matt Smith can be the doctor into the 50th year, and then regenerate into #12, which would explain his contradictory "I'm just doing 1 more season" / "I want to be part of the 50th anniversary" statements

So, given the photos of who's in the Christmas special... what does anybody think? I am quite hopeful since I actually quite like the characters.
Also secretly hopeful the biopic of Sydney and Verity that Gatiss has announced could be kind of great.

Had to go hunting to see who you meant--I'm very much looking forward to seeing more of them. Love Strax's butler outfit.
Also, I really hope this means the new companion is from the Victorian era--it's been a long time since there has been a non-contemporary or non-Earthling companion.
