Doctor Who 2023

[PTK]

When Dr Who is bad it's bad because of the writing not the family friendly bit.

Time and the Rani wouldn't be better if it had full frontal nudity and a gory death scene.



Ok it would be slightly better but still bad.

It could have "full frontal nudity and a gory death scene" and still be childish.

Like Torchwood

A lot of great adult shows are childish. But also not children's shows.


Also I think naked doctor who could be wonderlly childish. The 7th doctor could gave a curved knob and a single testicle to keep the question mark motif going.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Like Torchwood

I would class that as more stupid than childish.

I think I didn’t welcome Donna at first at the time, though. I wasn’t a fan of Catherine Tate’s comedy, and I was mourning Martha (I had a bit of a crush on Freema Agyeman). But her performance remains captivating and the writing is the best of New Who.

What I didn’t appreciate at the time was that Tate’s training was actually as Srs Actr. If memory serves, the comedy thing developed out of characters she worked on as part of her performing arts degree. Something like that.

I didn’t know that.

This is serious thread for serious people on serious day. No banter. <looks daggers at A380 and dares others to step out of line and see what happens>

So say we all .

That’s almost every Tom and Jerry episode TBF…

 

[kabbes]

I didn’t know that.

Yeah, she did, like, a decade of stage acting before she started doing stand-up. Royal National, RSC, you name it. She’s an actor who branched into comedy, not vice versa.

Predictions:

It's great fun, if a bit average

It's shit because I'm not a teen anymore

It doesn't match with the Dave Gibbons/Pat Mills version from 40 years ago... so, why bother

It's Disney

 

[Santino]

I just hope the Ninth Doctor says my favourite catchphrase: 'Make it so, Number One.'

 

[belboid]

I just hope the Ninth Doctor says my favourite catchphrase: 'Make it so, Number One.'

when I saw Hamlet I few years ago, with DT & PS, my favourite bit was in the interval, overhearing someone saying 'so Doctor Who wants to kill Jean Luc Picard...'

 

[krtek a houby]

I just hope the Ninth Doctor says my favourite catchphrase: 'Make it so, Number One.'

It's all new, though.

Nobody has ever mashed the show with another sci-fi classic.

Make it timey wimey etc

In the middle of the last Ghost Busters film and the better half is passed out

Going to have to wait a bit

Still excited

 

[cupid_stunt]

The first Dalek story, now colourised and edited, airs at 7:30 on BBC4 this evening! Followed by An Adventure in Space and Time.

Happy Doctor Who Day to all who celebrate!

​

All set-up and ready to record on my freesat box.

 

[PursuedByBears]

I find I like the idea of Doctor Who much more than the reality of it these days. I might watch this at some point but in no hurry to see it any time soon.

 

[kabbes]

I think an injection of loads of money and a requirement to appeal to the widest possible demographic can only enhance any media franchise.

I’ve been watching Loki this week on Disney+. It’s exactly Dr. Disney Who. It’s also very good — that’s not an insult to the makers of Loki. But it’s very much an American conglomerate’s version of a quirky British space magician having timey-wimey adventures.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

When is it on?
Oh now.
Can I watch it on iplayer now (or in 30 minutes) or do I have to wait for it to end?

OK we will do that. Dinner time and all. Thanks,

 

[danny la rouge]

Loved it.

But I'm not sure if you can cast it.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Well that was terrific fun. It made me cheer, it made me cry. Great entertainment.

 

[Epona]

Loved furry Dobby
The deus ex machina get out of jail free bit with Donna and her daughter at the end was the only weak point.
Otherwise excellent, and great fun.

 

[A380]

I liked it.

Och, it was always going to be like that. I’m just glad she got to remember the Doctor and live.

 

[Plumdaff]

That was tremendous fun.
