Please do not do that. Spoilers, both real and fake, make me pathologically angry.

'Doctor Who' in particular would be much better if the BBC could control their marketing departments. The big twist in the last two episodes would have been much better had the reappearance of a particular actor not been trailed, for example. Admittedly I didn't work out who he was until the reveal but...

The BBC have put up the New-Who regeneration episodes on Iplayer, including Mcgann and Hurt's. I rewatched the latter yesterday (wasn't in the mood for anything else, and my DVR remains at 73% full) and was impressed that the 50th anniversary romp is just as enjoyable as it was four years ago.

Not the best regen episode ever for me. The first half hour dragged, the secon was however excellent.

Worth it though for my daily mail loving Brexit twat of a mother in law starting off on the “Jodie Whittaker is pc gone mad” line and not having chance to finish it before both me and the wife told her exactly where to fuck Herself.

Can't disagree with any of that.

Did manage to watch it..

Did like the not-so-hudden anti brexit message in it.. even before the end...., and linked how the story was completely as expected.. traditions, traditions...

MaliA · **Posted:** Mon Dec 25, 2017 23:21

Bloody loved it.

Kern · **Posted:** Tue Dec 26, 2017 9:58

I really enjoyed it. Nothing big or grand, but just an excellent epilogue to this year's series and to the Capaldi era.

Very excited about 13!

myp · **Posted:** Fri Jan 05, 2018 16:25

Just finished the Three Doctors 10th anniversary special, so that's the first decade done! Two more seasons of Pertwee and then I'm onto Tom Baker's Fourth Doctor.

Kern · **Posted:** Fri Jan 05, 2018 16:52

The interplay between Troughton and Pertwee in the 3 Doctors is a delight. Been a few years since I watched it; might add it to my list.

It was a shame Hartnell was too unwell to play a proper part in it.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Fri Jan 05, 2018 23:36

Finally got round to watching this.

Loved it!

I actually liked the first half. I really enjoyed Capaldi playing it silly and Bradley playing it completely straight. Loads of excellent lines.

Loved the new introduction in terms of the laugh and ‘brilliant’.

Yay fun!

myp · **Posted:** Sat Feb 10, 2018 12:31

As of now I am now exactly halfway through the classic series, episodes wise. Obviously I haven't seen them all though as quite a few of the early episodes are missing.

Episode 5 of Planet of the Daleks, fact fans. Nothing beats seeing Jon Pertwee outwit the universe's ultimate killing machine by throwing a rug over it and pushing it into two feet of water.

myp · **Posted:** Wed Apr 25, 2018 12:13

Third Doctor finished. Some dross, some excellent, I guess Doctor Who never changes.

I never really warmed all that much to Jon Pertwee though. I'm three episodes into the Tom Baker era and I'm already loving him. Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith is brilliant though. She does not take any bullshit.

Jon Pertwee is probably one of my least favourite doctors. All that earthbound stuff doesn't help of course and the obviously limited budgets, but that fucking car, man... urg!

A very short (52 second) clip of the first episode of season 11 has leaked

If you want to watch it

Hmm, ta Zaphod. Not bad, not bad. Shades of Eccleston's Doctor, who I really liked. But that's probably an accent thing. Really hoping for a lower key approach in the story-telling without any of the many irritating aspects of the Moffat run such as clatteringly cack-handed speechifying, smug arrogance and confusing-yet-shrug-worthy 'mysteries'. (Really disliked the regeneration episode, unfortunately.) So fingers crossed for a new approach, and a thrilling new Doctor.

The Twitch marathon has moved onto the Leela episodes...I'd forgotten how excellently blood thirsty she was. The mocking of the mortally wounded Rutan was gold.

I'm slightly ahead of that watching the DVDs slowly. On the last story of Tom Baker's third season, The Invasion of Time.

So does the Doctor now have teleportation and/or Flash-like speed or something???

NervousPete · **Posted:** Mon Jul 16, 2018 13:15

Funky new transmat beam, maybe?

No...it's lovely and endearing. For the first time in years I'm excited about Dr Who after turning off at the start of the Capaldi era (nothing to do with him, he's great but Moffat's management of the show just annoyed me).

Curiosity · **Posted:** Fri Jul 20, 2018 18:50

That trailer made me excited!

Just rewatched Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead. One of my favourite Tennant episodes. Proper sci-fi, great story and some excellent acting. Top stuff

Kern · **Posted:** Fri Aug 10, 2018 20:57

Been making the most of the episodes on Iplayer, and not just because I'm too cheap to get the Blu-rays of the Capaldi years yet.

Rewatched 'Listen' for the first time since it was aired and was surprised at how good it is. A really clever tele-play that teases potential answers but never giving enough information to satisfy your conclusion completely. It's a tribute to the genius of the show that after the campy over-the-top fun of the Robin Hood episode that precedes i, the mood and genre can change so dramatically without either feeling out of place.

I'm pretty sure that the children's home scene has an abuse reference but that could just be my interpretation of it on this particular viewing.

We went to a Doctor Who show at the National Space Centre in Leicester back in January. I can't remember if I ever posted any photos, so here's some.

An excellent Titan comics bundle on Humble Bundle at the moment. I have some of these already and they're very high quality.

18:45 tonight! Clashes with the Archers, but I'm sure I can forgive them that, so long as they keep to a consistent time this series.

I've never really clicked with Dr Who, but they have a new character called Ryan who has dyspraxia, so I'm interested to see how this is portrayed.

Reading around it seems like you don't have to have seen any of the previous series's to jump in from here. So I might give it a go.
