Charles Dance appearing at all would be brilliant, but especially as the Master. After the Tennant/Simm combo of young-looking timelords, it'd be great to bring back the old-enemies feel.

I'm not a big fan of the Master character, and I don't know this guy, but I'm confident Moffat could make it work.

I would have Tywin Lannister himself star as The Master.

I am a big fan of both the classic and the current series. The second doctor is my favorite, its a shame so many of his stories are incomplete or missing.

masterthes · « **Reply #3120 on:** January 28, 2014, 02:06:50 PM »

I highly agree ozzy. Saw The Three Doctors not too long ago and thought he was so good

Also, here's an image from filming earlier today of Capaldi in costume for the first time. Looking good!

In classic Who watch, just got done with season 10, and I for one will not be missing Jo from the series. I think she was a bit of a ditz and I'm eagerly awaiting to get acquainted with Sarah Jane

Ooh, someone else is also watching the Third Doctor's run!

I'm still at Season 7 though, so it'll be awhile before I get to Jo or Sarah Jane.

Yeah Jo was quite a ditz. She was quite cute though.

masterthes · « **Reply #3126 on:** January 30, 2014, 04:37:35 AM »

I'll agree there

El JoNNo · « **Reply #3127 on:** January 30, 2014, 08:33:05 AM »

Lets face it most of the companions in the old series were ditzy.

I'm not a big fan of the Russel t Davies version of the master. The original master played by roger delgado was awesome. Ainley was alright but at times a bit cartooney.

El JoNNo · « **Reply #3129 on:** January 30, 2014, 09:09:59 AM »

i used to not like the lastest version of The Master as well but in light of what the Timelords did to him, it makes sense.

I've seen very little of the pre-2005 series, so I'm a bit of a half-assed fan there. The only thing I've seen of the master aside from the RTD era is most of The Five Doctors, which I preferred.
I have no problem with the concept of the character, or bringing him back, but I didn't think the latest actor was charismatic enough to pull off the persona, and I thought his episodes were pretty silly, between Tweety Bird Jesus Doctor, and 6 billion copies of the master.

I've read that they're going to mix things up a lot more this season, and that Capaldi's Doctor is going to be different, so this is going to be an interesting one.

I don't agree at all, absolutely loads of them weren't at all ditzy:
Barbara Wright
Ian Chesterton
Stephen Taylor
Jamie McCrimmon
Zoe Heriot
Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart
Liz Shaw
Sarah Jane Smith
Harry Sullivan
Leela (she was simple as she was from a savage tribe, but she was sharp)
K-9
Romana (the first incarnation anyway)
Adric
Nyssa
Turlough
Ace

masterthes · « **Reply #3132 on:** January 30, 2014, 02:06:57 PM »

Shame they got rid of Liz. I know now that the actress was pregnant, but they said they felt her and the Doctor didn't have good chemistry. I thought they worked well together, or maybe the showrunners thought they needed somebody a bit dafter to show the Doctor's brilliance more

Started watching Doctor Who a while back and just finished series 2. I never thought of Billie Piper as a very great actor, I mean she pulled of the role of Rose fine, but nothing special. But in those last scenes at the closed portal and at that beach she was absolutely amazing. The level of emotion she was able to convey was very impressive.

I honestly think The Day Of The Doctor was her best performance.

I don't know if it was the character, or the actress, but I never really cared for her.

chknptpie · « **Reply #3136 on:** February 02, 2014, 09:05:00 AM »

I'd say most guys might prefer to watch her in Secret Diary of a Call Girl... Although her mouth/teeth have always bothered me a bit.

When she came back for an episode (Turn Left I think?) that was really pissing me off. It was like she was wearing fake teeth or something, and mumbling, and I couldn't understand her all that well. Too much tooth.

ariich · « **Reply #3138 on:** February 02, 2014, 10:10:54 AM »

She'd very recently undergone a dental procedure of some kind, can't remember what.

For some reason, you can already pre-order the series 8 DVD box set. As you would expect, the comedy troll reviews on Amazon are numerous and excellent: https://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B00I3JR9SG/ref=cm_cr_dp_see_all_btm?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending

Oh good. I was worried I'd just forgotten how British she was.

El JoNNo · « **Reply #3142 on:** February 02, 2014, 09:26:22 PM »

If I remember correctly it was a jaw reconstruction and they made her where fake teeth to look like Rose as she changed slightly.

Interesting! No idea how this all fits together, but it seems good whatever it is. I actually watched the whole thing before realizing there were captions, so I didn't realize anyone could make out the audio.

Super Dude · « **Reply #3146 on:** February 04, 2014, 06:33:20 AM »

To sum up (spoilers):
- Clara gets a call on her cell from the Doctor
- That Doctor is apparently on Trenzalore
- He's "scared"
- The Capaldi Doctor comes out and assures Clara that he is the Doctor
- They go for chips

Doctor Who is now my favorite show. I have the Vincent and the Doctor poster hanging in my classroom, and a sonic screwdriver.

DP_Gumby · « **Reply #3148 on:** February 17, 2014, 02:46:50 PM »

I started watching Doctor Who in September last year, and now I'm addicted to the series.

I have only seen the modern era episodes so far, with Eccelstone, Tennant and Smith, so I feel it's to early for me to decide who's my favorite doctor. But of those I have seen, I'm most attached to the 10th Doctor.

But could I get any advice on where to find a really great replica of the sonic screwdriver? Preferably some with sound.
I have checked out the universal remote version that ThinkGeek sells.

And on a little off-topic note, this is my 200th post as well!

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #3149 on:** February 17, 2014, 02:49:24 PM »

I have 11's sonic, it plays sounds and has the green light which turns on.

I forget where I got it from, but it was like $20 online. Google is your friend.
