Review Doctor Who (2005)

[ant-mac]

Same here my friend! I recently saw that picture of the new TARDIS console and it's mighty ugly! My kids don't like crabs so I'm sure they won't be watching this show anymore! Even if it is on Sunday nights at 8pm!

PS.By the way what does the new exterior of the TARDIS look like? I've heard people don't like it!

Haven't seen it.

BBC CONTROLLER ON 13: “GONE IS THE DAFFINESS AND IDIOSYNCRASY OF HER PREDECESSORS”





Former Doctor Who Executive Producer and current BBC Drama Controller Piers Wenger has shared his views on what he believes Jodie Whittaker brings to the role of the Doctor.

Jodie Whittaker placed 15th in The Radio Times TV 100, a list of the, according to the publication, ‘hottest TV stars of the past 12 months’.

Celebrating Whittaker’s placement, Wenger states: “It’s a testament to the energy and focus that Jodie has brought to Doctor Who that it’s hard to distinguish where one ends and the other begins. She said from the start that she could only do it her way and so it has become.

He continues: “Gone is the daffiness and idiosyncrasy of her predecessors in favour of a Doctor with energy, spark and relatability.”

Meanwhile, BBC Content director Charlotte Moore congratulated new showrunner Chris Chibnall who places higher in the number two spot.

She said: “Chris is a wonderfully talented multi-award-winning writer whose catalogue of work speaks for itself. I can’t wait to see his passion and vision for Doctor Who come to life on BBC1 this autumn. As a lifelong fan himself, I know he will bring something very special to the hit series to captivate old and new fans across the globe.”

Umm.... Sorry.... WHAT?!?!?

“Gone is the daffiness and idiosyncrasy of her predecessors

Ermmm....

Isn't that basically saying "GONE IS THE DOCTOR!"

in favour of a Doctor with energy, spark

None of the others ever had energy or spark, of course.

and relatability

Do we need to relate to The Doctor?

I thought that was the function of the companion....

She said from the start that she could only do it her way and so it has become

In one way I find this commendable, in another way I find it somewhat worrying.

Did Jodie research the history of the character? Watch old stories?

Did she need to?

Even Matt Smith watched THE TOMB OF THE CYBERMEN and loved what Troughton did in it.

Which is the right way to do things?

A truly fresh start?

Or do at least some research into what has gone before?

Meanwhile.... also in 2018.... another Doctor has his hands full!

That Wenger is something else! He was useless in his role as a producer on Matt Smith's early shows and now we're meant to be listening to this failure's opinion on a show that most of us will ignore? Get a life!

It seems the BBC have been getting heavy handed again.

A release date was accidentally announced on i-tunes for when the next series starts...

This twitter account reported it, then got a cease and desist letter from the Beeb....

The date was also removed from i-tunes.

This guy clearly hasn't received a letter yet.....

What about all those people who need to know what date not to be home?

Seriously though, getting threatening over people knowing a date of broadcast? What's the point?

It seems Katie Manning has taken umbrage at the above statement and agreed with somebody's outrage.....

What a fucking insult to 12 amazing actors.

Katie replied....

I can't help but agree ! A change should not dismiss the wonderful history of this incredible show xxxx

But, when New Who started getting slagged off, added....

Hello don't add me to this ! I love modern who I never miss an episode & certainly don't judge anything before I see it ! Was just saying it has a history that led to now not to be dismissed xxx

Everything should be given an opportunity to shine ! I didn't like olives till I tasted them !!!

 

[Doctor Omega]

Now, it's official....

 

[Doctor Omega]

A new full trailer for the series is expected in the next week or so.

 

[johnnybear]

Sunday night in about a month! Gives me a little time to arrange to go out or have some people come by!

NEWS: Chris Chibnall has confirmed in ‘The Times’ that we will not be seeing River Song, Missy, The Paternoster Gang or the Weeping Angels again. He also promised that there will be no Daleks or Cybermen for a while! What are your thoughts? Who will you miss the most?

I'm okay with not seeing the Daleks or Cybermen in any capacity for a while, and I'm definitely okay with not seeing the Weeping Angels. I will miss The Paternoster Gang, but I would rather see them get their own series, like The Sarah Jane Adventures. Missy died, so I'm good there (I figure The Master should regenerate pretty frequently). Honestly, and I'm sure someone here will explain why I'm an idiot for it, I would love to see at least one moment of River and the new Doctor together.
