Also, I love the fact the infamous Hat Rack is still kicking around the TARDIS.

EDIT: Notice that both the creator of the Daleks AND the Cybermen are both wheelchair bound?

Anybody watching Children in Need 5 minutes ago?

I've seen the new Doctor (or have I?)

[Reply #722 on:]

Someone get it up on to youtube for the poor americans who can't see it.

[Reply #723 on:]

Try this

I watched it. 2min though. Give David Morrissey the next role!

[Reply #724 on:]

Yayness!! I can;t wait to see it but I've gotta figure out how I will do that since Brivinex go caught on youtube and she was how I was watching the new series

[Reply #725 on:]

Interesting...his jacket sort of reminds me of the Sixth without the horrible eye clashing colours..

[Reply #726 on:]

His look and persona (what we've seen of it) reminded me of Colin Baker. He's got that air of superiority that the sixth had with just a bit more bravado. He also seems to be a bit camp, which is all good.

A better copy is up now

Also when we get to page 20 I vote for Xanfor's unPEEL thread name.

So people who have seen the Xmas special... how was it? And where can i find it online to watch?

[Reply #728 on:]

Wow. It was clever. Didn't expect that to happen at all, damn your teasing skills BBC!

I thought this year's Christmas outing was pretty good, I liked the twist concerning the other Doctor

[Reply #730 on:]

It was a very interesting storyline and was well better than last year's Christmas episode. Makes me wonder if David Morrissey is going to be the next Doctor

[Reply #731 on:]

I was reminded of Ken Branagh's performance in the second Harry Potter film. It occurred to me that a Gilderoy Lockhart-esque Doctor would be worth watching.

[Reply #732 on:]

I thought it was quite good. Nowhere near as good, dialogue-wise, as "The Christmas Invasion" but miles ahead of last year's dross. It's better when they work within the confines of a 60-minute episode instead of extending it to 75 minutes for no real reason. David Morrissey and Velile Tshabalalalalala were good, as was Dervla Kirwan. The whole mystery of who the next doctor was was engaging and interesting but I expect the Daily Mail will be running Angry Readers'/Loners' Letters about how The BBC Misled Everyone And Should Be Shot. The Cyberking was a bit OTT (and how would the parallel-earth Cybermen know what a "dreadnought class" our-universe Cyberman ship looks like?) and amounted to another suspiciously Futurama-esque climax (giant rampaging Bender in AOI1 anyone?). The ending was nice but it would have been better if the greasy orphan brats had burst into a rendition of "Food, Glorious Food".

[Reply #733 on:]

I love how the Cyberman ship is a giant frigging robot. Piloted by robots. Made by slave labour robots!

[Reply #734 on:]

They showed the christmas episode of season two tonight, we're a few seasons behind but still. It was very good, and nice to see Anita Briem in a small role.

[Reply #735 on:]

the Next Doctor was good. I liked the twist concerning the 2nd Doctor. I hope the rest of the specials are as good as this... Now on to a Doctor Who Xmas Special Marathon

[Reply #736 on:]

I missed it at Christmas but since watched it on youtube. It was ok, not great.

But there's a nice repeat tomorrow, I wont miss it for real this time. I like reruns 

[Reply #737 on:]

The new Doctor is going to be announced tomorrow according to BBC News. My money's on it being Johnson.

[Reply #738 on:]

Somebody must e mail me who is it going to be because I will be at work all day.

[Reply #739 on:]

The Next Doctor, Matt Smith. 26 years old (youngest ever Doctor) with quite a big nose I think.

[Reply #740 on:]

He going to be the new Doctor?

BAD CHOICE

[Reply #741 on:]

If your going for sex appeal for the Doctor horrible choice but I don' care all that much about the looks of the Doctor as long as he is still a memorable one.

Though I do know someone with  a nose that could quite possibly beat the size of his snoz...

The looks of the Doctor's (hardly) ever did it for me.. it's more about the accent, and complete awesomeness of the Doctor.

I'm too lazy to read that, but what else has this guy been in?

[Reply #746 on:]

I think he a bit of a goth

Agreed.....

I think he a bit of a goth

That doesn't bug me.... a little bit of gothiness in The Doctor bother me I'll be interesting to see how Matt Smith portays him if he is a bit goth....

He's not the Doctor yet, so we don't have to appreciate him yet.

Johnson from Peep Show would have been an awesome choice.

[Reply #750 on:]

I was just wondering, how many PEELers have ever seen the very first episode of Doctor Who?

[Reply #751 on:]

Not I as you well know. If I wasn't about to pass out I'd find it and watch it

[Reply #752 on:]

OK. Planet of the Dead is the next one. This clearly reminds me of the name of the episode of the first Dalek story - The Dead Planet.

The other theory in my head would be the vain hope that it might be set on Gallifrey - That's a dead planet isn't it? Eh? Eh? Eh?

Chances are I'm completely wrong but I for one would welcome a return to the old renegade Time Lord of years passed. This "last of the Time Lords" line is getting tired. And let's not forget that Dalek Caan managed to save Davros from the Time War....

[Reply #753 on:]

It would be nice to have a return to the old seralised format of 5 or 6 episodes to a storyline, instead of 1 or 2 in order to allow them to flesh out the storylines and characters a bit more.

[Reply #754 on:]

I agree, the reason the old series were scarier than the new the new ones is that most episodes would end on a cliff hanger that was guaranteed to give children nightmares

'Skins' star for 'Doctor Who' companion?

**********
Skins star Hannah Murray has been tipped to become Matt Smith's companion in the fifth series of Doctor Who.

Murray, who played Cassie in the first two series of the Channel 4 teen drama, is supposedly in secret talks with producers about the role, News Of The World reports.

A BBC insider said: "Hannah did some challenging stuff in Skins and they see her as an up-and-comer."

Other stars reportedly being considered for the role include Georgia Moffett, Lily Allen and Kelly Brook.

Russell T. Davies has confirmed that he does not want to "ruin anyone's chances" of being cast as the fifth series companion by using them in this year's specials.

Oh I hope she get it. Will make me watch it then.

[Reply #756 on:]

[Reply #757 on:]

I completely forgot I was watching this show. It was really good too.

[Reply #759 on:]

Planet of the Dead wasn't bad but it wasn't a great episode either, the flying bus at the end was just silly
