Same. They were a useful plot device for series 2, but after that they just became pointless.

They looked more like the Cybus ones to me.
Then again, John Smith was such a bad drawer that we may never know for sure...

The Doctors new assistant is rather tasty :D:yep:

Which one? The one from the past, the one from the present, or the one from the future? Not that there's any difference...:D

Clara Oswald

Yes, but which Clara Oswald?

:har::rotfl2::har::rotfl2::har:

Christmas day episode The Snowman :hmmm: doesnt she take over as his assistant full time for the up and coming new series?

SPOILER!

READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!





She dies. Sorry.
Don't worry, turns out that there are at least 3 Clara Oswin Oswalds scattered throughout time and space.

Shes married to that nutter Dawkins! :o

My wife would leave me in a heartbeat if Tennant showed up on my doorstep.

After she said that, I told her that I'd do the same if Karen Gillan (or Catherine Tate - hey, I've a thing for redheads) did the same.

Gotta find a gas-mask so the boy can dress up like the "are you my mummy," kid from the Eccleston, "The Empty Child," episode.

I need to get me a few sheets of these when they become available, my daughter is a big Dr. Who fan.

Well, that was fun! I just rewatched the 10th Doctor episode 'The Fires of Pompeii'. One of my favorite scenes comes right at the beginning, while the Doctor still thinks they're in Rome. He says "Oh, and before you ask, I had nothing to do with that fire...well, just a bit." This refers to the 1st Doctor, Season 2, when they vacation in Rome in A.D. 64. The Doctor at one point is having a private laugh on Nero, while the sun focusing through his glasses held behind his back set Nero's map for his new Rome on fire. This gives Nero the idea to burn down part of the old city so he can convince the Senate to let him build the new one.

Fun bit 2: When the householder who has purchased the TARDIS asks his name, The Doctor says "I'm...Spartacus." Quickly his companion Donna says "So am I." Of course younger viewers might relate this to Monty Python's Life Of Brian, but that movie stole the idea from the original Spartacus. When the Romans want to crucify the ringleader of the failed rebellion, they ask for him by name. Kirk Douglas says "I'm Spartacus!" Tony Curtis quickly says the same, followed by pretty much all the rebels. Of course the Romans then proceeded to crucify six thousand of them.

Fun bit 3: Lots of in-jokes from both history and the series itself. It wasn't until season 14 of the original series that they even tackled the question of how they could talk to all sorts of Romans and Chinese and be understood. When it happens in this episode Donna wonders what would happen if she spoke real Latin. When a street salesman asks what she would like to see, she says "Veni, Vedi, Vici!" The man loudly and slowly replies "Sorry. Me no speak Celtic!"

Fun bit 4: There is a sisterhood of prophetesses involved. At the beginning one of them sees the TARDIS and runs back to tell the High Priestess that she has seen the prophesied Blue Box. At the end of the episode she dies with her sisters as Vesuvius erupts. When the closing credits rolled it turns out the actress was Karen Gillan - the Doctor's next companion, Amy Pond!

Too much fun! :D

I've seen that episode! I wasn't too impressed when the Doctor realises that he's started the fire of Rome...and starts laughing. :doh:

Actually...I saw Spartacus before The Life of Brian. :)

Both awesome movies.

Good. I have a friend who thought Monty Python invented the idea, along with a lot of others. Good spoof comedy requires a good source to spoof.

Firstly, completely and utterly off-topic, saw this the other day and thought of you Cybermat:

Secondly, a little bit more on-topic, it was in the news the other day that David Bradley will play the part of William Hartnell in a docudrama about the creation of Doctor Who.

http://www-deadline-com.vimg.net/wp-...03-200x221.jpg vs http://www.britmovie.co.uk/wp-conten...m-Hartnell.jpg

I think it's a good casting choice. :yep:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-21251726

He dose not look grumpy enough. :O:

Hartnell got the BBC mad while making Dr Who, when he fluffed his lines and back then there was no retake Hartnell would say out loud F(bleep)K which forced them to take2. :har:

Woah! That's pretty awesome! Thanks for pointing it out!


They definitely look alike. I'm looking forward to this docudrama! :rock:

On another note, it looks like one story this year is going to be set on a Russian submarine. I figured that from seeing a Russian naval officer in a flooding room in the next time trailer :rock:

The Third Doctor

I just finished watching the end of season 3. Tomorrow I start 'The Smugglers'. :sunny:

Some sad news folks, I was reading over the weekend the actor Bernard Horsfall has passed away. Bernard Horsfall guest starred in four Dr Who stories, first in The Mind Robber as Gulliver then as a Time Lord in The War Games both in Patrick Troughton ere as the Doctor. He would next appear in Jon Pertwee ere in the Planet of the Daleks as Taron then finally in Tom Bakers ere once again as a Time Lord in The Deadly Assassin.

He played the part of Goth who tried to kill the Doctor in the Matrix taking his orders from The Master. The cliff hanger fight scene seeing Goth trying to drown the Doctor suffered a backlash from Mary Whitehouse's clean up TV campaign for at the time was looked upon as a very violent scene.
