Doctor Who

[ibanez33]

Doctor Who monsters explained by redditors as if they were Hagrid from Harry Potter. Thought you guys might get a kick out of it.

Maybe this will make it um, tolerable. http://www.rifftrax.com/vod/dr-who-and-daleks

has anyone else besides me watched this? it was great (i'm a huge rifftrax/mst3k fan). there were two or three points where my fiancee and i had to pause it and go back because we were laughing so hard that we were missing jokes.

Edit: nevermind

Those films were utter shite - my little brother went through a phase of watching them all the time, terrible gaudy daleks

Lol I love them! They're so weird, it's like willy wonka and the dalek factory, except it's made by amicus (seedy UK horror studio) and has peter cushing so it has a weird hammer-ish streak running through it

also best looking daleks until 2005 IMO... The dalek voices are amazing as well (so much more depth and reverb than the tv ones)

i saw the hd version of invasion earth at a recent cinema screening, fanboy overload

So this happened.

it looks like there's something in the middle of his bow tie...

Rumour hath it that new Doctor is announced today


My money is on it being Steven Moffat as he completes the cycle of masturbation he's been doing the past few years

[orestes]

Well, the BBC Prom is going on today and so far, I've seen photos of the Fifth Doctor and Susan on twitter.

Daleks confirmed for the 50th anniversary special

There's a trailer being shown at the San Diego Comic-Con, but I read that it won't be uploaded to the web for some time.

[sheepdean]

Wow, Daleks on the 50th, no one expected that :P

[Sutekh]

The tenth planet cybermen in the upcoming drama about 1963 look LUSH (not sure exactly how they fit in seeing as they don't turn up til '66)

50th Anniversary special airing at same time worldwide.

50th Anniversary special airing at same time worldwide.

I'm having a viewing in my little cinema that I've made. Full HD, 3D, 9ft screen, and DTS [though I imagine it won't be broadcast in DTS]. Though I don't have a TV license so I'll be the only Doctor Who fan that has to wait for an hour or so. I'm not expecting the 3D to be great either. They'll probably just throw things at you throughout the whole episode.

That has got to SUCK for west coast US and Australian fans

[Kid Charlemagne]

I watch this show on and off, but I'm in with Peter Capaldi. I hope to God he brings some of the Malcolm Tucker grit to the character. Excellent choice.

Doesn't matter one bit to me - I don't have cable, so I have to get it after the airing anyway. During the regular seasons, I wait until night to watch it anyway, so I just stay off of social media for a few hours. Not the end of the world.

[sheepdean]

Peter Capaldi is one of the best actors out there, this is fantastic

[Sutekh]

Great choice. But please god get rid of murray gold, he has been on doctor who as long as tom baker, how depressing is that

Another Scottish doctor. Awesome.

An older doctor will really playing havoc with the BBC's target-audience-mogriphier machines.

Older? Try OLDEST. He'll be older than Hartnell was when he started by xmas.

I'm west coast Canada and it works perfectly for me.

[jmtd]

I'd have preferred Olivia Coleman but I'm pleased it's a senior person.

[orestes]

Scotland for the win!

[sheepdean]

Scotland for the win!

3rd Scottish Doctor, and still no Irish. Maybe Gallifrey really ISN'T in Ireland?

[jmtd]

It's in Wales half the time.

[Trains]

I'm a bit late to the game, but man am I chuffed that they decided to cast Peter Capaldi as Doctor number 12. I can see him being excellent in the role, and a real change from Matt Smith (even though I do love him and will miss his energy, physicality etc).

Also, are we ever going to see the trailer for the 50th? Those who attended Comic Con this year got a screening of it.

So he's not older now?

Cardiff is to new who what quarries were to the old series

[sheepdean]

That is correct.

[theimage13]

That is correct.

Man. Wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff is confusing.
