Doctor Who Series 8

[Nine Bob Note]

pertwee would never have worn those shoe/boot crossovers

I imagine he'd roll in his grave at the thought of his action figures' longterm viability revolving around the switching of his jacket/trouser cominations. Repainted cyberman with 'new hat accessory' was one thing, but now the third doctor is happy to wear a tuxedo jacket with riding breeches, even after Labor Day.

Has he laid his first solid egg of timey wimey fuck?

 

[ginger_syn]

So has anyone read any of these leaked scripts then? I dont think I want to really, but am tempted, just to see if it's the writing or direction that lets things down

no, I generally stay spoiler free and I'm looking forward to the new series and Peter Capaldi, who is already one of my favourite doctors because he signed my tardis postcard

The srcipts are supposedly draft versions anyway. And Matt Smith was able to turn all sorts of dreck into watchable telly, I'm sure Capaldi will do the same.

they're not, they're the post-production scripts, so will be almost exactly what we see and hear.

It'll be interesting to read them afterwards, to try to work out where it all went wrong (and where bits that seem daft on the page are lifted into marvellousness)

 

[SpookyFrank]

Are they really that bad?

 

[SpookyFrank]

And if I wanted to find them where might I look

 

[belboid]

Only read a little bit of the first one, seemed fine to me.

 

[belboid]

And if I wanted to find them where might I look

I now see the place I found them has had them pulled, probly on some torrent sites (checks, yes, they're on tpb)

 

[SpookyFrank]

Well I read the first scene of episode one, seems entertaining enough. Think I'll wait til it's actually on telly and not bother with the rest of the scripts.

Dinosaurs in London, Madam Vastra, Daleks, more Daleks, a Dalek in the Tardis, the Borg, and what was the android (?) with the purple T on its face? I'm sure we've seen them before.

Bring it on!

 

[CNT36]

Pretty sure we've seen it all before. Dinosaurs in London? At least twice, Madam Vastra? Yep. Various quantities of Daleks? Aye. A Dalek in the Tardis? Yes.

The first episode (or at least a black and white, unfinished-CGI version thereof) has leaked too.

I blame the new boy. He has form - https://www.facebook.com/TheGooldingInquiry

 

[Pickman's model]

out of curiosity what numbers were the series from 1963 to c.2007?

McCoy ended with season/series 26.

McCoy ended with season/series 26.

so this season 8 is utter nonsense, designed only to beguile the suggestible

The distinction is made, NW or OW

like AD and BC. Before the coming of Mgann.

whats the point, sometimes its the CGI alone that saves a weak episode.

The original run had 'seasons', the 2005 resurrected version has 'series' so this is the first series 8 of Doctor Who.

I suspect they changed it to make selling DVD's of the news stuff less confusing for punters, particularly punters who weren't born when McCoy was the Doctor.

more grand parents of punters, tasked with getting a Xmas pressie

 

[ginger_syn]

is there any need to make a distinction, it's all Doctor Who at the end of the day

 

[Santino]

It's also because of the Time War.

 

[Lazy Llama]

Found out I've got tickets for a preview screening of the first episode at the NFT on 7th Aug, with Peter Capaldi and other cast/crew in attendance. Quite pleased

I'm very jealous.

[Lazy Llama]

Oh yes!

Enjoyed it.

More later, probably.

There's a bit where Madame Vastra throws back her veil while saying a witty bit of dialogue. Again.
