Brainwave.

Going to art up the front door of my classroom to make it look like the TARDIS doors. Then I'll decorate the inside of the classroom with odds and sods to make it look like the console room. My computer/interactive whiteboard will be the console. Children will be safe inside the TARDIS and this will explain how the video can be played.

First week:

Year 2, The Doctor and the Daleks.

Second Week:

Year 2, The Doctor and The Cybermen.

I'll take pictures and film as much as possible come September to show you all.
 
The Diana Rigg episode also includes appearances
by Dan Starkey as Sontaran Commander Strax, Neve McIntosh as Silurain Madame Vastra and Catrin Stewart as Jenny

Now begins the difficult task of putting together an accurate costume to wear.

As the term begins in September, I'm assuming he'll be wearing his Series 6 attire and not his new 'post-ponds' series 7 attire. Total budget <£200, but ideally as low as possible.

Any recommendations. The jacket will probably be the hardest thing to source for a decent price.

Definitely going to get the Series 7 attire too at some point. Any hints for that jacket would be welcomed too.

Why not mix in a few touches from older Doctors if finding series 5 or 6 is too expensive/difficult. 2.5 meter scarf for instance.

Good idea. :)

I actually love the post-ponds costume. Classy as hell. I reckon I could make the rest of it as long as I got a decent version of the jacket. Anyone an expert on these sorts of things, know of someone who is, or have seen a jacket that is similar to it?
 
Ebay and charity shops, you can pick up a fairly decent tweed jacket. The official replica is a ridiculous £300 or so, but I got a pretty good one for 30 quid.

I know a good Doctor Who costume blog, I'll try and find it.
Edit: Here we go. http://eleventhdoctorcostume.blogspot.co.uk/
Warning, this is about getting it 100% dead on a lot of the time, but it'll give you an idea of what to look for. You can pretty mix between series 5 and 6 shirt/jacket combos and no-one'll really notice. A lot of the really fine detail can be aproximated around and no-one'd know.

I went as Doc 11 to a con once, and got fairly mobbed thanks to the resemblance. And picked up and stolen by some teenage girls.

holy shit the doctor's wife was so good. omg THIS SHOW.

"There's a sign on my front door. You have been walking past it for seven hundred years. What does it say?"

"That's not instructions."

"There's an instruction at the bottom. What does it say?"

"Pull to open."

"Yes, and what do you do?"

"I push!"

"Every single time. Seven hundred years, police box doors open out the way."

"You know, since we're talking with mouths, not really an opportunity that comes along very often, I just want to say, you know, you have never been very reliable!"

"And you have?"

"You didn't always take me where I wanted to go."

"No, but I always took you where you needed to go."

---​

"Fear me, I've killed hundreds of timelords."

"Fear me, I've killed all of them."

---​

"I just wanted to say... hello. Hello, Doctor."

So good.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh. That dialogue doesn't really do anything for me, all of those exchanges feel slightly forced to give fans lines to quote. I've never really been a Gaiman fan though, I feel like especially in dialogue he often comes off as the British equivalent of Joss Whedon (or...you know, visa versa since Gaiman is older)
 
Depending on how I feel on any given day, the final goodbye/hello scene with the Doctor and Idris might be my favourite NuWho scene.

Other candidates are the last scene of The End of the World, the PoTW Hologram scene, the conversation in the Satan Pit, pretty much all of The Family of Blood, all of Midnight, the flying Earth scene from Journey's End, 4 knocks, Fish Fingers and Custard, the last 15 minutes of Vincent and the Doctor, the scene by Amelia's bed in The Big Bang, the battle scene in A Good Man Goes to War, and Old Amy's last scene in The Girl Who Waited.

I like a lot of NuWho's scenes. :p

The regeneration scene from Parting of Ways, still one of my favourites.
 
I hope this is a backdoor way of bringing Strax back from the grave after A Good Man Goes to War. I wanted to see more of him and his magnificent lactations.

Is this the one with Madame Vastra and Jenny in it?

Having just re-watched The Sontaran Experiment out of boredom, that was a great set photo to see immediately afterward. :lol

My grandmother just told me that she saw a ticker on MSNBC say Matt Smith had a nervous breakdown on set or something. Couldn't find anything about it though.

Nope! She's seeing things. It said Doctor: Pilot who (something something). Thanks grandma!
