Well Series Ten starts in April, and judging by The Christmas Invasion, it should be really good. Why not have a topic about The Doctor? Afterall, he's been around, what, 43 years or something? I've loved every series so far, after being introduced to them when I was six through my mother.

Who is your favourite Doctor?

In order of appearance...
First = William Hartnell, 1963-1966
Second = Patrick Troughton, 1966-1969
Third = Jon Pertwee, 1970-1974
Fourth = Tom Baker, 1974-1981
Fifth = Peter Davison, 1982-1984
Sixth = Colin Baker, 1984-1986
Seventh = Sylvester McCoy, 1986-1989
Eighth = Paul McGann, 1996
Ninth = Christopher Eccleston, 2004-2005
Tenth = David Tennant, 2005/6-?

I liked Tom Baker and Jon Pertwee the most, but I'm looking forward to seeing David in action. He seemed to fit in perfectly in the special.

What do you guys think? Who made the most impressive Doctor? Do you think David Tennant will bring new life to the series? Who would you see back again, or indeed, who else do you think could be nominated for the next Doctor Who?

Theories, opinions, thoughts, disappointments... All things Doctor Who can be discussed here!!

I love Doctor Who! My favourite Doctors would be Tom Baker and Christopher Eccleston because I haven't seen the Christmas Invation yet. Here in Australia they haven't shown the Christmas invation or any of series ten. I can't wait for it to come back onto television. At the same time as my parents watch the news and my brother watches the Simpsons they play the original series and we are up to Colin Baker but I can't watch that because no television to watch it on.

I hope I see The CHristmas Invation soon!

Oh, poor you . Don't worry, it's worth the wait in my opinion. It was just 'fantastic'!!!

Have you been on the BBC website (do you have BBC in Australia?) because there is a small 30 second clip of the next series if you can't wait. It's strange, because I'm sure I heard somewhere that they were airing it worldwide on New Years Day. Bizarre...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/

Sorry if it doesn't work. Like I said, I'm new at this stuff!

Yay, I like Christopher Eccleston too, he's definately in the top three on my top Doc list. He really brought the series back to life. It would have been nice to hear more about this Time War though. That must have happened with Paul McGann, but they never aired it.

We never got it here on New Year's Day that I know. ABC plays it and we watched ABC news everynight but there was no mention of Doctor Who before and after it started. I really hope it comes soon because I have watched the ninth series all day and I want the tenth series. I hope it is worth the wait!

Are there any other Doctor Who fans out there?

Caity

I love doctor who! My family is obsessed (my little sister got the anual book thing for christmas.)

I must admit to not seeing many of the old old episodes but if its on then I always give it a watch as they're always entertaining.


David Tennant sold it to me you know! I thought he was amazing he really made me laugh and I can't wait till the new series starts because I think it will be really exciting. I can't pick an overall favourite because each is different and brings their own kinda character to the role but I think Im going to like David's spin on the character.

Yay, hi and welcome to this humble thread. My mum enjoys Doctor Who, but only the older series' which is kind of annoying. I can't really get her excited enough to watch David Tennant even though he suited perfectly at Christmas. She reckons Eccleston's series was a joke, and I found that highly insulting! My dad and sister think I'm crazy, because I like it so much, but my mum will always back me up, which is nice!

I think you're right. Each Doctor has portrayed a new character, which makes the series live on and continue. Not many shows can say they've lasted fifty years and are still running strong, so I congratulate them all!

I can't wait for David. He was hilarious wasn't he? His personality just fits perfectly here, and I'm so excited to see what he has in store for DW fans world-wide.

Oh I don't have ABC, but the older series and repeats are on UKTV Gold, so I'm guessing that's kind of like ABC for you, Caity. The Christmas Invasion is 100% worth the wait, just to reassure you. I loved it, and I watched the repeat on New Years' because it was so good. I hope you get the chance to see it before the next series starts!!

Misshaunted

I love how the Doctor used that satsuma. It was very clever. I thought the santas were cool. i like the one with the trombone/flamethrower thingy. I can't wait for the return of the cybermen. I hope the Daleks don't come back as the doctor portrayed by Eccleston was sort of obsessed by the time war. Though if my entire species were destroyed i would probably be a tiny bit annoyed. I know the weird blob of skin called cassandra is going to be back and the murderer of eastenders is going to play a villian. My top three doctors are
1David tennant
2Christopher Eccleston (Fantastic!)
3Tom Baker.

Erm, maybe to disappoint or not, but if you check this link, your hopes may be dashed a little....

Scroll down to the bottom, last episode and a rumour about the Daleks is there. Sorry, but they could be back...

http://www.relativedimensions.co.uk/episodes2.html

Say, you know that he was sort of obsessed with the Time War thing, but does anyone actually know anything about it? At the beginning we kind of get the idea that he's just regenerated (Could o' been worse...look at the ears), so maybe it was how the eighth was killed and Eccleston came in, but I don't think it was ever aired. Paul McGann only did the movie, he never did episodes, so do you think the Time War occured between that movie and these episodes? I want to find out more about it in series 2. Maybe the Doctor will talk to Rose about it or something...

Sorry, I keep replying and I bet it's really annoying, but it's my first thread and I like the fact that I'm not the only DW fan around. And I've lots of thoughts I'd like people's opinions on!

Misshaunted

Oh how can the daleks be back. That's so boring. I want something new to be on the show. i'm looking forward to the cybermen but the daleks have already bored me too much. It's all they do "Exterminate, Exterminate and so on and so forth" .At least anything Russel T. Davies writes is good though.

I can definately understand your point. I think the Daleks have been a little overexagerated because of the 'Dalek' episode. If they had just been in the last two, then fine. But because there was that lone Dalek in episode six, it's almost like they were running out of ideas and decided to stick with a creature they knew to save energy.

Isn't he only writing two episodes this time? The first two I think. Hey, even Stephen Fry's writing one. It's all going to be different, there's about six different writers I think. Not that I'm complaining, but I have enjoyed Davies' goes. Anyway, it should all be good. Can't wait actually. Oh, and speaking of waiting...

I've got a release date for series 2 in Britain...
25 March 2006!!
Get that in your calenders!!

I noticed that the last post in here was written about a year ago but i thought i would put a post in anyway. I love David Tennant!!!!!! and i thought Christopher Eccleston was good David Tennant is even better plus he is Scottish(like me) and gorgeous and he is really funny(well so was Christopher) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I love Doctor Who i can't believe i haven't seen this thread...
Doctor Who is the best.. I'm sad that Rose left.
I think David Tennet is beeter than Christopher eccleston...
And is anyone looking forward to this yeas christmas special..

wow... i haven't see this thread before... that freaks me out... lol

well i don't know which of the Time Lords is my favourite... they are both different so how can you chose?

why i love them... not like that!
Christopher Eccleston - that smile! you the grin i am on about! when he grined like that you knew he was up to something! the smile always made me laugh!!

David Tennant - i don't know how to describe it... hey! maybe i like him more lol

i think they were both funny though!

i am looking forward to seeing Catherine Tate in a dress... lol... a wedding dress... now that is scary!!

Seriouslysirius, I'm really sad that Rose left too but Billie Piper says she can still come back because the Doctor might find a way back into the paralel world!!!!!!

K.Lupin_werewolf, you had probably never seen this thread before because it was on something like the 3rd page because no one had put a post in it for so long(a year!!!!!)

lol HPfan#!! your right!! lol so true anyway...

it was sad to see Rose go! and well yes she could come back... but i hated the end of that episode!! when the doctor was about to say i love you and then he got cut of!! soooooo sad!! but then Catherine Tate (runaway bride) had to show up and it was like he had completely forgotten about Rose... "What?" lol and well this new partner that he is going to have... do we all think that he will just fall for her to? he better not! Rose and the Doctor forever lol

I agree with you K.Lupin_werewolf, it was really sad when he had to say goodbye to Rose when she sayed she loved him and he was about to say it back to her but then he disappeared back into the Tardis and the one person he has to find there, Catherine Tate!!!
I hope he doesn't fall in love with his new "assistant" because i prefer him with Rose!!!! With Catherine Tate in the Christmas episode(Runaway Bride) it should be quite funny and we will get to meet his new assistant(i wonder how he finds them all lol).

HPfan#1

i know!! wasn't it just... annoyingly horrible!! i hate those moments... when someone is about to say something that means so much and then they are cut off or something, i hate that!! lol look at me getting all lovy-dovy!


he better not lol then again i guess... well he has got to hearts... one for rose and one for the new "assistant" lol that was meant to be funny but oh well! i hardly EVER do funny... i won't bother in future lol


i agree again... should be fun!

Yeah i hate thosse moments to it's just not fair..

Well i have seen the Emprees Of Rachnos the spider empress in the Runaway Bride.

She is so scary Sarah Parish who plays her is unrecognisable.
She is red and like huge.

Defiently the most scariest monster on Doctor Who yet.

" I will descend upon this earth..."

That is one of her quotes.

My only 2 Doctors I have seen are:

1.Christopher Eccleson (My first Doctor that I saw)
2.David Tennant (So cute. And his accent. Ahhh)


I cried the first time I saw Doomsday where Rose is in Pete's world. *sob, sob* I love Doctor Who. My favourite Christopher eps have to be Bad Wolf and Parting of the ways and my favourite David eps are New Earth, Doomsday, School Reuinion and the Christmas Invasion. I love Doctor Who.

I can't wait until Christmas!!!! Not just because well.... it's Christmas well because the Christmas Doctor Who episode!!!! Just 4 days to go!!!!

Meanies!! Us Aussies don't get The Runaway Bride until, well, May I think!! Unfair. Oh well. I will log on here to see how good it is.

Oh wow, the Runaway Bride looks so good, doesn't it? Every time there's an advert for it I go crazy and start screaming... a little bit too enthusiastic I think. But it does look amazing, I'm really looking forward to it! The monster looks really scary though. Oh, I'm really can't wait! Only 4 days to go! Seriously, I'm lloking forward to that episode more than anythiong else on Christmas day! Crazy, I know.

Yeah i must admit it does look great even without Rose...

I get the chills when i heared the Empress Of Rachnos's voice...
The trailers i've seen are fantastic....

Pilot Fish are back for what for???

I'm looking forward to Christmas Day mostly because of Doctor Who....

Oh theres Torchwood on Christmas Eve.. A Doctor Who Spin off.

mjane95 - Sorry that you can't watch it on Christmas day.. It's not fair..

I'm going on the Doctor Who website now..

yes... the x-mas special looks good!! good question; why are the Pilot Fish back? lol
oh and mjane95 - i feel sorry for you as well.
Empress Of Rachnos - oh so that is what that thing is called! lol ye she looked... freaky...

Oh it's just so cool! First, there's Torchwood on Christmas eve and then Doctor Who on Christmas day and the the Sarah Jane Adventures starts on New Years Eve. This Christmas is going to be so cool. Oh wow, the advert for Doctor Who just came on TV again, it looks amazing!

I haven't seen the trailer yet! but i'm going onto the Doctor Who website right now.

mjane95 - That's really rubbish that you can't see The Runaway Bride until May i wouldn't be able to cope for so long .

Actually do you know that it was my school that actually got me interested in Doctor Who because we were doing World War II as our topic and we had to watch the Doctor Who episode with the gasmasks( Captain Jack also started in this episode) and it was Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper at the time. I didn't really watch the Christopher Eccleston series only two of them(well three) the two parts to the gasmask one and the end of the world(it was repeated on BBC Three). But i watched every episode in the David Tennant and Billie Piper series(except one because i was away out).

To Seriouslysirius, K.Lupin_werewolf and HPfan#1: Thank you for your thoughts. Don't worry. My mum and me are big Who fans and I guess we can wait for something we love.

To Golden Phoenix: Are you getting the Sarah Jane adventures?? Awesome!! Over in Aus I heard that, that show got scrapped. Or was my info wrong??

Anyway The Runaway Bride does sound good even though I won't get to see it until May. You gotta love The Doctor. He is just wonderful. I really like the sonic screwdriver. It is a fantastic little device.

mjane95 - I guess i would be able to survive without Doctor Who for a couple of months but only if i had Torchwood!!!

I haven't even heard of the Sarah Jane adventures, is it going to be shown in the UK? If i'm correct Sarah Jane is the one that was in that evil headmaster episode the old Doctor's assistant?

I still haven't watched the Doctor Who trailer yet !!!!

Yeah it is. Ep titled ''School Reuinion''. Really good. K-9!! I love him! BTW Torchwood hasn't even aired here in Aus. Is it any good??

I went on the Doctor Who website and it wouldn't let me see the trailer because i need RealPlayer !!! But i seen the pictures, played some games and took quizzes. I seen the picture of the Empress of Rachnos and she is scary looking!!!

mjane95 - That is really rubbish you can't see The Runaway Bride and you haven't seen Torchwood at all !!! Well Torchwood is brilliant !!!! It is just as good as Doctor Who, all the pictures in my signature are Torchwood(Gwen, Owen and Ianto but there is also Captain Jack and Tosh).

Sarah Jane adventures looks good yeah..
I think it's on New Years Day.....

I also heard that Sarah will have some Sonic Lipstick with instead of a Sonic Screwdriver..

Still looking forward to the runaway Bride....

Once again sorry you can't see it untill may mjane95.
I would not be able to cope...

I was thinking where is Jack. You gotta love Jack. Below is a quote from ''Bad Wolf'' starring Jack. Aww

Jack: Now hold on, ladies, I don't want to have to shoot either one of you.
Trin-E: But you're unarmed!
Zu-Zana: And you're naked!
[Jack reaches behind him briefly, and returns holding a very small gun.]
Zu-Zana: But.. that's a compact laser delux.
Trin-E: Where were you hiding that!?
Jack: You really don't wanna know.

Oh 1 more day to go for the Runaway Bride!!!!! I'm so excited that i am practically wetting myself !!! Donna(Catherine Tate) is ment be trying to destroy the Earth or something and that she ended up in the Tardis on purpose.... *sigh* oh well it won't be long till we find out!!!

Runaway Bride, Runaway Bride..

Can't wait....

It looks fantastic amazing theres lot's of bad uys in it..

Robots, Pilot Fish, the Empress of Rachnos..

It is going to be great..

By the way Doctor Who confediental is on Christmas Day or should i say tommmorow!!
As well it's on at 1 O'clock....

Can't wait for May. you all must tell me how good it is okay??
Enjoy your Doctor who presents mates
MJ

Wow..... The Runaway Bride was great.... It was actually really good even without Rose..

Donna played an excellent part as the Docotrs companion..

All the monsters were great.... It was a little less chrisrmassy this one..

I'd rate it 9/10...

The Black Dalek is back though in the next seires.....

I had loads of Docotr Who pressies like..

K.9
Black Dalek
Cyberleader
Dalek Clock
Doctor Who bed set..

and much more

mjane95 - The wait will be worth it...

Though i've got some bad news David Tennat is quiting Doctor Who he will leave in the middle of the fourth news so thats kind of sad.....

OMG Runaway Bride was really good i thought it was really funny at the pockets part when the Doctor asked Donna if she had money and a phone and then she said "Wedding dresses don't have pockets!", i know it doesn't sound funny in words but if you have seen it is quite funny how she says it!

The next episode looks really good and we finally get to meet the Doctors new companion..yipee! but i still miss Rose!

Nooooooooo *crys really loud* why does David Tennant need to quit!!....*stops crying* Wait it's ok he has still got a series and a half to go!!! I wonder if he will see Rose before he changes!!

The Sarah Jane Adventures starts tomorrow(New Years Day) at 4.50pm on BBC1!!! I think she does use sonic lipstick because i seen her with it in the trailer on BBC1!!

What did everyone actuallly think about the trailer for next seires...

I thought it looked good...

Ecspically the Black Dalek arghhhhhhhhhhh!

Well anyway i found out yesterday that in my Doctor Who comic... The second episode of the new seires is called.. The Shakespere Code..... And obviously they meet Shakespere.

mmmmm....Black Dalek it should be good, i have never really been fond of Shakespeare though but maybe if it is about him i will begin to like him.

Only one more day to go for Sarah Jane Adventures and then Torchwoods on tonight aswell!!! When is the next episode of Doctor Who on the T.V?

I don't know about the next episode of Docotr Who.. It will probably in the spring sometime..

I watched Sarah Jane Adventures and i thought it was actually okay.. I like the aliens in it..

I want more K.9..

I think Sarah Jane/ Elizabeth Sladen can carry out her performance great..

I watched The Sarah Jane Adventures too, i thought it was really good. I was also hoping to see a little bit more of K9 too but maybe we will get to see him in the next episode for longer .

I think Doctor Who will probably come out in April because i think that is when it came out.... i think!!!!!

April yeah maybe...


It obviously wont happen this year..

But as my birthday was on a saturday July 1st.. I got to see Doctor Who Army Of Ghosts on my birthday..

It is cool having Doctor Who on your birthday...

Right they have an offical release date for doctor Who according to the eye of horus a doctor Who website it is.. Drum role

7th of April 2007..

And these are the episodes that have been realeased.

01 - SMITH AND JONES
02 - THE SHAKESPEARE CODE
03 - FLESH AND BONE or DINOSAURS IN LONDON
04 -
05 -
06 - THE LAZARUS EXPERIMENT
07 -
08 -
09 - THE FAMILY OF BLOOD
10 -
11 - UTOPIA ( This where Captain Jack is rumoured to join.)
12 -
13 -

Oh i think there is one called Daleks in Manhattan as well.

May is just around the corner!!

I have heard that he is staying until the end of S4 but I may be wrong.Anyway The Runaway Bride sounds sooooo good. Can't wait

I think there saying he is staying to the middle of series 4 but then again i could be wrong too.
I can't wait to series 3 ecspicall with Jack back in it. yay!

There all types of different monsters in it.. Even Rhino like things called Judoon.. I think.

I can't wait until April now!!! I just want to see Doctor Who!! How can Captain appear in episode 11 shouldn't he be in episode 2 since in the final episode of Torchwood he went with the Doctor in the Tardis. Anyway I can't wait until the Doctor and Jack are reunited and Jack doesn't know that the Doctor has changed his appearance now(because when Jack was in DW it was Christopher Eccleston and now it is David Tennant).

I think Jack is in episode 11 because while Torchwood was on i thing that the whole Martha + Doctor adventures have been going on while Torchwood was on. Torchwood was a head of us so more things will have happened.
Yeah Jack might not recgonise him, but i don't know he might have caught sightings from the old Torchwood that was destroyed in the Battle of Canary Walf at the end of Doomsday.

Well i suppose that is probably why because they would be shooting Doctor Who when Torchwood was still on T.V. Is Jack going to be in it from the 11th epiode until the final episode of Doctor Who or do none of you know?

I think he is going to be in it to the finale yes. Because i read a doc who comic saying that he was in the finale. So yeah i think so.

And it all depends on what is happening with Torchwood to see if Jack stays with the Doctor..

I hope Martha is going to be a good compaioin.

I am guessing she is quite smart because i'm sure in the trailer at the end of 'The Runaway Bride' that she said to the doctor, "Who are you?", and he said, "I'm the Doctor" and then she said "I'm training to be a doctor". So she must be smart if she is training to be a doctor.

Yes Martha is a medical student yes so she has to be clever. I suppose she might understand some things more than Rose did.
She might be more adapat at the alien worlds.
Though i don't think she can replace Rose but i will give her a try..
