That's a lot of great footage.
Where is that zygon image from the OP from?
Oh shit, I got the thread title wrong. Should've been Splendid fellows, all of you.
wtf, Pertwee straight up smokes that guy at 55s
- BBC have pretty much stated Christopher Eccleston will not be coming back.
I still believe!
Me too.
I still believe!
THE ZYGONS?

Series seven and most of series six made me sour on the franchise.You left?
She looked kinda scary when she appeared in Sarah Jane.

Wasn't Ian slagging off the show not even like a week ago
Would be great if the Doctor-Donna was in this as well!
some people speculate this is cover and he'll actually be playing himself, at his current age, as a framing device
William Russell (Ian) is in An Adventure in Space and Time playing a character named "Harry" (some people speculate this is cover and he'll actually be playing himself, at his current age, as a framing device) so he can hardly slag off modern Who considering they're paying him at the mo. He has slagged modern Who off in the past though, but in a polite/complimentary "I appreciate what they're doing, but TOO SEXY" way.
Fuck RTD, just say Sarah was chatting rubbish. BRING BACK IAN.
I'm excited to see David Tennant and Billie Piper again, but having Davies as a co-writer would make me so much more interested. As it is, my excitement's a bit tapered, as I disliked the bits I've seen of Matt Smith's run as well as Sherlock season two solely because of the writing, and I'm not confident that this'll be any different.
Does Susan seem pretty likely? If she's his hereditary granddaughter I guess you wouldn't have the problem of getting an actor back because... regeneration. But then you have the "Last of the Time Lords" issue.

Is this actually directed at me? I didn't say any of those things, and didn't extrapolate on what I disliked enough for all of your assumptions to be valid in any way whatsoever. I'm not claiming that Moffat's an actively bad writer (I might not like him, but he's clearly effective for everybody else) or that Matt Smith is a poor casting choice, just that I wish the 50th anniversary also brought back RTD.A good way to weasel out Matt Smith era haters;
Step 1) Listen to how David Tennant was the best Doctor ever and was irreplacable for a few minutes or so
Step 2) Ask if they liked Blink/Family of Blood/The Forest of the Dead
Step 3) If yes, tell them Steven Moffatt wrote them
Step 4) Gloat profusely

Got to love it..
"Let's celebrate Dr. Who's 50 year history by not having anyone from anything prior to NuWho in it"
God damn NuWho.
We don't know, but I think it's interesting that Moffat has mainly opted for showrunners on other shows to pad out his writing staff; the exact same people who RTD opted not to rewrite.Nobody's really sure how much of this Moffat does by comparison - I'd be interested to know.
Aside from some Douglas Adams/Hinchcliffe etc, a Moffat/RTD joint-helmed Who, with RTD doing the bigger stuff would be god like.
One's strength is the other's weakness, basically.
Something that confused me is something I read on a comment section (I know, I know, I did it by accident) where someone said that they were worried Moffat was going to "ruin" Ten.
Plus you can't ruin a Doctor that had a little cry before he regenerated.
