Doctor Who News, Articles, Cast and Crew Interviews

You do realise that after the Beijing Games, 'London 2012' is going to be rammed down our throats at every opportunity (Like it's not already) and by 2010 you are going to wish that the Daleks would take out the London Olympics

Endless repeats of Fear Her!

[Reefgirl]

I would gladly surrender to the Daleks rather than go through that agin

[BruTak]

Ok then, which Classic Who monster/creature/villain would you guys like to see making a comeback?

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing the Draconians again.

[Pitry]

You know what, I actually like Fear Her. No, it's not one of their greatest episodes, hardly, but it's a really sweet small episode with some lovely moments in it (well, and a lot of cheese, but once you igore the cheese it got some really lovely, humorous, sweet moments). Also, as opposed to a lot of episodes in the second half of the second series, Rose is actually portrayed well there.
And it has some really nice incidental music.

As for repeating badguys... having some POM Egyptian Gods would be soooooo Stargate now, I'm actually tempted!

"Pyramids of Mars", 1975.

Sutekh was the "last of the Osirans".

And the Doctor was the last of the Time Lords.

Fenric, I loved the Curse of Fenric and Lady Peniforte from Silver Nemesis, The Mara and The Destroyer

[Pitry]

How many Time Lords do you need to change a light bulb?

-None, there's only one and he's too busy angsting over the lightbulb being the last of its kind.

Erm, sorry. *returns thread to its regular programming*

[Naonak]

Good Lord...

Fenric, I loved the Curse of Fenric and Lady Peniforte from Silver Nemesis, The Mara and The Destroyer

But Fenric was destroyed, Lady Peinforte was killed (I think; the video player went wonky and I was in a school play - a rabbit in The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, I think - that night). The Destroyer was definitely the destroyee and you can't take that one away from the Brig.

On t'other hand, Morgaine was only arrested, and that Battle Queen of the S'rax might give her an in on the new series.

Right and the Daleks were destroyed, 3 times, and the Cybermen were sucked into an alternative reality and your were there and you were there and there's no place like home

Anything is possible in Who

Interview with the Grand Moff at IGN.

When asked if he thought taking the reigns of a cultural icon was a burden, he answered quickly. "No. It is part of British life. That's not an exaggeration, Doctor Who is part of British life. But it's just exciting. I went around for a week saying, 'Oh I'm very frightened' – but I'm not. I'm not. It's exciting. What's the point of wasting time being worried about it? It's exciting and I can't wait to get started."

Doctor Who Christmas Special Intros New Cyberman

The Doctor just kicked the Dalekanium encrusted backside of Davros, but he doesn't get a day off for Christmas.
The trailer for the Doctor Who Christmas special (right) has been making the rounds, and it features the return of the Cybermen in what appears to be Victorian England.
But, the fan forums are reporting that Santa will deliver a new breed of Cyber-creature as 2008 draws to a close. For a look at the new Cybershade, skip to the jump. Otherwise, little is known of the robotic wraith.

S4 Boxset Art:




Not impressed.

After the triumph of both S3's boxset art, why must they return to the crappy style they had for S2?

[BruTak]

You never know, there might be something cool on the back.
