The Third Doctor Who Thread

[Mr Peter Harrow, Esq]

Mr. Harrow's point was well taken in the moderation forum.  It was requested we investigate and we did.

Verdict:  Dr. Who thread remains where it is.  No action taken.  Back to the who'ing.

I thank you Sir, this forum is, if anywhere the home of rationale argument and cogent discourse on the Internet.

A pity then I ruin it with ribald limericks and terrible puns

The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe

Some more hints on this year’s Doctor Who Christmas special have been revealed in the latest Doctor Who Magazine.

• Matt Smith is madder than ever and Claire Skinner will break your heart
• Bill Bailey, Arabella Weir and Alexander Armstrong are very funny (surprise!)
• Contains the words ‘looms’, ‘panthers’, and ‘wish’
• Contains the line, “Watch and learn, kid,” followed by a loud crash
• It’s a lovely, heartwarming, touching tale and literally magical
• “It’s full of the usual concoction of things that spew out of Steven Moffat’s imagination”
• It’s more of an ensemble piece than last year’s special – “more family”
• The last ten minutes are really emotional
• No Amy and Rory brings out a different side in the Doctor (hmm?)
• A pic of the Doctor running in what looks like a fiery factory of some sort

Unless I'm very mistaken, Alexander Armstrong appears to be playing the pilot...'random'..'Isn't it!'

Isn't it though?

The Dalek That Chases You Behind The Sofa!

[Herr Döktor]

We used to have a sentient sofa that tried to hide behind itself whenever it saw a Dalek, which, in this household, was quite often.

Meanwhile, apparent confirmation that the next series of Doctor Who will air in the autumn:

[Mr Peter Harrow, Esq]

Inevtable it means that the 50 th anniversay can air in the correct week.

Also I understand in Herr Doktors House you are never more than 3 feet away from the Dalek. The little buggers keep blasting holes in the skirting boards and making their nests.

Try baiting a BIG mousetrap with an action figure of The Doctor.

Actually Daleks able to use a compression field would be a good move, Fantastic Voyage with Daleks! it would improve their manouevrabilty inside and think of the marketing opportunities!

Hello, massive whovian here, though if my avatar being me in an Ice Lord costume wasn't a clue, I'm not certain what is!

Hello, massive whovian here, though if my avatar being me in an Ice Lord costume wasn't a clue, I'm not certain what is!

As the Ice Warriors themselves were massive, I'm not surprised!

(As we have an abiding interest in the Carry On films, I feel I have to point out the Carry On/Doctor Who crossover, Jon Pertwee notwithstanding*, Bernard Bresslaw as Varga, an Ice warrior)

*thinking about it, Roy Castle and Bernard Cribbins  from the two Peter Cushing Films- Though Cribbins also on TV, and Joan Simms in the 'Mysterious Planet', Peter Butterworth as the Meddling Monk, Victor Maddern in 'Fury from the Deep',  Ray Brooks in the second Dalek movie, Suzanne Danielle in 'Destiny of the Daleks', Maureen Lipman in 'The Idiots lantern', Daniel Peacock in 'The Greatest Show in the Galaxy', Alexei Sayle in 'Revelation of the Daleks', Wanda Ventham in 'The Faceless Ones', 'Image of the Fendahl', and 'Time and the Rani', and, of course William Hartnell was the sergeant in Carry on Sergeant!

How about for the new Doctor Who film, calling it Carry On Doctor?

To clarify: any Doctor Who movie would be made by the BBC team, star the current TV Doctor and certainly NOT be a Hollywood reboot.

[Augustus Longeye]

YES!

[Mr Peter Harrow, Esq]

Christmas has come early!

Although I would prefer a series of McGann/ Eccleston Timewar movies with the current team, it would be a problem for fans if a great chunk of continuity was ripped from the current seriesfree to air to be paid for in the cinema. Time War would be standalone.Would like Tom Baker as a narrator for exposition, fitting as he was The Doctor in Genesis of the Daleks, the first shot in the Time War

Possibly good news for any Teutonic Timelords out there:

Is it called 'Doktor Wer' in Germany?

[elShoggotho]

Won't start to subscribe to Fox as long as TPB and similar are around, and give me the episode at the date of UK airing.

Also, no, it isn't.

What's all the fuss? I've got all the missing episodes in this bin liner waiting to go on the bonfire. Surely there's no one THAT interested.

[Mr Peter Harrow, Esq]

Forget the Higgs Bosun, this is definitive proof of the existence of time travel!

The search for missing episodes has been high profile for at least the last 20 years. Any collector would know this. It is therefore suspicious that it would come forward now, rather than earlier on.

Any time-traveller will have been inspired to create a time machine through watching Doctor Who. The second use of any time machine (after punching out Hitler) will be to rescue the missing episodes and 'salt' throughout time/space these 'missing' episodes to be 'found' and brought forward for public viewing.

This theory is right up there with the one showing the 'Hitler' Diaries were indeed fakes as the real ones record Hitler thoughts on being constantly being beaten up and humilated by time-travellers.
