1 series to go in 1 week. I think I can make it...

I need to get through 3 it is stressful.

I just got through the first half of Series 5, it's good and I like Smith as the Doctor enough, but does it pick up?

 

[Slowdive]

I think I liked Clara more in that last scene of The Ultimate Guide than the whole series, apart from AOTD and The Snowmen. Hopefully I'll like her even more now that the whole mystery is over with.

Ah, 50 years. What can one say about 50 years of Doctor Who? Well, first of all, one can be pedantic. Doctor Who hasn’t been on for 50 years – owing to the outright stupidity and unforgiveable blindness of the BBC (sorry guys, it needs to be said), there was a 16-year gap.”

Is it true he's the only BBC Controller not to receive a knighthood?

No idea. Doubt he'll ever get one though, he's bloody dreadful and everyone knows it.

I did some Google-fu on Grade, and I got this quote from Wiki:

In an appearance on Room 101 in 2002, he said, "I thought [Doctor Who] was rubbish, I thought it was pathetic, I'd seen Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T., and then I had to watch these cardboard things clonking across the floor trying to scare kids!" Grade admitted in the same programme that he had little interest in, or sympathy for, science fiction.

Goddamn. Though he has said recently that he "respects it" since the return.

 

[zorlaczerohero]

Just watched Night of the Doctor! Even more excited for next week now!

And that bit

"Anyone for Chess? Bring me knitting!"

, classic!

Here's all you need to know: if you're a fan of Doctor Who, Michael Grade is public enemy number one.

The best episode of the show ever would involve the Doctor travelling back in time to kick him in the dick. And bringing a Cyberman along to do the same.

Looking forward to seeing what Hurt does with the War Doctor. It's gonna be tough to top McGann.

I think so. I really like the Fez.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Based upon his youthful appearance in NotD it seems like the War Doctor was a very, very long incarnation for him.

God bless Chris Morris (one episode of Brass Eye had "Grade is a cunt' flash up briefly on screen).

Anyone else think it's weird that they all look like they were shot during their respective tenures, with the exception of Tom's which looks like it was taken on the set of Dimensions in Time?

edit: Actually, Colin's and Sylvester's were later pics too. Perhaps also circa '93.

 

[Bluth54]

I never even though of that before I watched that video. I wonder if that's where Moffat got his inspiration from.

Nicola Bryant and Paul McGann have aged so fucking well, it's insane.

McGann is only a year and a half younger than Capaldi! Pretty remarkable.

 

[GillianSeed79]

Anyone in the states going to one of the theater showings? I'm tempted to go since I'll be on vacation, but I'd feel weird going alone. Anyone considering doing Dr. Who fan meet ups? Nah, that'd be too weird. I probably just watch in on BBCA, but I'd love to go to a theater showing. Knowing my luck, I'd probably be the only one there.

I approve of this

I'm fairly certain that Colin, Sylvester and Peter's pictures are all from Dimensions in Time. Tom's is somewhere around that time too I think.

I'm fairly certain that Colin, Sylvester and Peter's pictures are all from Dimensions in Time. Tom's is somewhere around that time too I think.

As I examined them, I pretty much came to the conclusion that 1-3 are all from The Three Doctors, 4-7 all from Dimensions in Time, and the rest a grab bag of press pics.

 

[Jintor]

teens react is the least entertaining of all the 'reacts' series. Kids react is funny cos kids haven't developed filters yet, Elders react is funny because most of them have discarded them.

Still... I was entertained

As has been said up page, it looks like a shot for 1993's disasterpiece, Dimensions in Time.

This is great. Not watched Teens React in a while, nice to see so many Who fans on here

Would love to see both a Kids React and Elders React to Doctor Who but Teens React one was good indeed.

I miss his video diary stupidity! Also, the suit looks good open; I never really understood why he never once wore it open on the show!
