My Mum watched the Vincent & The Doctor episode and was in tears. I don't think she'd watch the whole series though, she has neither the free time nor the attention span. Think I might cherry pick some episodes, she watched the show in her childhood (met Patrick Troughton's son at a Doctor Who convention, never fails to tell me this!)

She likes all three new Doctors, so it shouldn't be hard.

Holy shit there are some serious spoilers in there!

I didn't know it was already planned that Eleventh will regenerate at the end of the Christmas special... WTF was Moffat (and the interviewer?) thinking when he decided to disclose this to the world?

He was probably thinking that that was already revealed in the press release that announced Matt's departure.

Trying to keep the date of a regeneration secret is an impossibility, and is counterintuitive anyway.

Why wouldn't he? It's traditional.

I actually don't know. I've started watching Doctor Who a couple of years ago, so I never lived a regeneration in "real time".

But anyway, I can understand that it is a tradition to spoiler it months ahead, but as a 2013 viewer, used to dozens of series where the showrunner would die before spoilering a season finale, it felt a bit awkward.

Still, I knew in advance that in the end of "The End of Time" Tennant was going to regenerate, and cried like a baby anyway... so on second thought, it's not all that annoying after all.

Haha, 100% me.

I just ordered a woot tardis shirt and am plowing through the old series. Started on season 24 just because and I love this doctor already.

I dunno, it's not bad, it isn't easy finding someone that looks similar but is also an actor and isn't going to cost them a lot of money.



Looks like a pretty good choice to me.

Are you doing the Saturday night or the Sunday morning?

I'm taking my little sister on the Sunday morning. I've wanted to do this ever since I heard the first Doctor Who Prom back in 2008. I went to Doctor Who Live, but that wasn't quite the same.

Doctor Who Live was an arena tour with a (loose) plot and actors on stage. It had specially-filmed Matt Smith bits and loads and loads of monsters (the Weeping Angels were masterfully done), but it was largely an excuse to fill an arena and to show off the costumes a bit.

It had bits of Murray Gold's score played by a live ensemble, but nothing to compare to the orchestra at the Proms. It's going to be incredible.

Oh, and Murray Gold's composed an 11-minute long piece specially for the Proms. It's called Song For 50, and it's all about commemorating everything Doctor Who's done in the past. If there are going to be anniversary teases, that'll be where they are.

The other day I watched Curse of the Fatal Death the other day. I've seen it before, but i don't think I've watched since Moffat's tenure started on Doctor Who.

Holy crap if this short parody isn't an embodiment of the whole Moffat era. You've got:

- The Doctor marrying his companion
- A whole lot of timey wimeyness
- lots of innuendo
- "I've put a lot of work into it"
- The "Maybe even the universe can't bear to be without the Doctor." theme.

Pretty much covers it, lol.

Right, I'm just leaving now for the trek down to London, ready for tomorrow's Prom. Going radio silence from this point on to avoid spoilers.

Hope everyone who's going enjoys themselves. I'll have my 3DS on me tomorrow, so anyone else who brings it can probably expect a Streetpass from me. :)

it's still possible this writer simply misunderstood what he was being told.

Most seem to believe they're saving the announcement for Comic-Con next weekend.

An event not in the UK? Madness.

To me that's like keeping the gender and name of Prince William's kid a secret and announcing it solely in the US.

Should be done on British TV as part of a special like they did for the Tennant-->Smith transition.

I most definitely agree. I can't imagine they'd announce the next Doctor at San Diego.

But doing it at a Prom that's only being simulcast on radio is weird, too.

I wish soooooooooo much... that they announce that 8th season will cover adventures of 8th Doctor and Hurt Doctor.

You know what? It's possible something close to that is what's actually happening, and the writer simply misunderstood what was being talked about.

It could be they're announcing the rumored webseries starring McGann, which would lead to a regeneration into Hurt.
