Doctor Who... Page 309

I believe that's a marmoset trying to frame him for a crime he didn't commit.

Nah, he's been caught on CCTV with his head through windows.

Sorry, back on topic. He also wears a long, striped scarf.

But anyway, I read somewhere the Weeping Angels are coming back and that's brilliant, as long as Moffatt writes it and not some tosspot drafted in from Emmerdale.

Who?

Anyway I've already predicted what will happen. The only romantic combination left is for the Doctor to fancy his companion and her not fancy him.

I very much doubt that will happen, hopefully Moffat would realise that that would weaken the character of the Doctor if he's lusting after someone who doesn't fancy him. Plus it would just be rubbish. I think we might just see less of the whole Doctor/companion fancying each other strand,they didn't have it with Tates character and it worked all the better for it.

I hope we have less of the tiresome hugging and snogging that went on under RTD, though I doubt that we will. Tom Baker never did any hugging or snogging.

Until the cameras were off, then he went ahead and married one of his assistants!

And as for all the hugging/kissing, it may be a tad unpallatable to some of us, but I do think this added layer of potential romance is what made the rebooted series appeal more to a lot of girls. And some men, too, I'm sure.

The commentaries on the DVDs are quite amusing. There are whole episodes where Tom doesn't even look Lalla in the face because they've had a row! He just looks over her shoulder or at the floor. And during rehearsals they'd stand at opposite ends of the rehearsal room and shout the lines at each other! How ever did it come about that they got married!

I hate you, I love you, I hate you... let's shag?

It's a sad day...Outpost Gallifrey is closing down.

Crikey.
Why?

Time? Money? There's a big statement right here... http://www.gallifreyone.com/news.php

David Tennant is in talks to take his Time Lord character to the big screen in a film adaptation of iconic TV series Doctor Who.

The actor announced in October he would be stepping down from the role after three years as the time traveller, passing the baton to newcomer Matt Smith.

But Tennant is reportedly hoping to maintain his ties to the cult sci-fi series for a little longer, by starring in a movie version of the longrunning hit.

And the star is said to be considering starring in subsequent sequels if the big screen project proves successful.

A source tells the Daily Express, "The script is still in the early stages but David wants to be in the film. There have already been discussions and David needs to feel the story is right but right now things are looking very positive.

"He understandably wants to go off and do different roles but he still loves Doctor Who. If the film takes off and there's demand for more, he can continue to play the Doctor occasionally without having the pressure of the relentless schedule that the TV series demands."

I've been watching season one NewWho and Season three NewWho on 2 diferent channels.
And I can now unequivocally say Ecclestone isn't just slightly, he is by the far Dr.

Indeed. No good comes from fraternizing with the tenant.

They were both great, as far as I'm concerned. The best two actors to ever inhabit the role.
