Does an Ancient Battle refer to the Time War?

Does an Ancient Battle refer to the Time War?
That's what I was suspecting because in the add it said it's the day he'd been running from, but I'm not sure. :shrug:

[Tregard]

I got tickets to see this in the cinema! <3

[Glenn.]

Does an Ancient Battle refer to the Time War?

The Comic Con trailer featured events of the Time War. Rose says something about 'The Moment' too

[Samm]

Hope it's true official trailer on Saturday :amazed:

[Samm]

But rose :love: returning

[Glenn.]

I'm a bit meh with Rose returning tbh. I'd rather have Donna back :love:

[Jamesy]

The synopsis seems to point towards.

2013 > Eleven and Clara
1562 > Ten and Rose
Ancient battle > Time War > John Hurt's Doctor

Three stories that all collide into one. That's my guess anyway. Fits in with what has been seen with filming too.

I hope the trailer is out this Saturday, feels like it's been forever since series seven concluded!

At first I suspected john hurt was the one who killed everyone in the time war because the doctor said something about that being the part of him the broke some rule about being the doctor.

[armand.kay]

Yesterday I noticed they have Genesis of the Daleks on netflix , I think that's my favourite serial from the classic run >___>

[Samm]

Rose>Donna>Martha I love all of them know

Clara>amy

[armand.kay]

I've felt bad for Martha she was like a rebound companion :(
I loved rose, dona was alright too I guess.
I liked any at first but she ended up becoming really annoying, Clara hasn't done much.
I hope they introduce a new companion next series, I always liked it with 3 in the tardis.

[Glenn.]

All of them :love:

[Samm]

One the day when it is aired are we going to discuss in this thread

[armand.kay]

Why does rose look like a fortune teller?

[BBfanUSA]

I think it's because of Her Bad Wolf persona or something

[armand.kay]

I think it's because of Her Bad Wolf persona or something

oh yes maybe, that's probably why her eyes were glowing again

[Braden]

I love how Rose looks like Misty Day from the recent American Horror Story. :love:

I can't help but feel that this special episode NEEDS Christopher Eccleston. :(

[Samm]

Some more pics released my the BBC :amazed:

[Samm]

Clara and Rose Together my two Best companions :love:

[Marsh.]

I'm guessing Billie Piper's not playing Rose.

But Bad Wolf using Rose's image?

Everything about her, dress sense, voice etc is so un-Rose like that I don't think she's Rose from her travels with 10.

Especially since it seems 10 will be with Elizabeth I, which is from a time between The Waters of Mars and The End of Time.

[Samm]

She is Playing rose she said in the interview and it has been confirmed that she will be playing rose

[Marsh.]

She's not very in-character then.

There'll be a twist somewhere for sure. Maybe she's present day Rose from the alternate universe.

[Samm]

That would be good

[Jamesy]

I like the idea of her being the 'Bad Wolf' although does that seem too easy? It just seems a bit too simple for someone like Moffat who relishes in complex plots and characters. I would think he's got a surprise up his sleeve.

[Tregard]

That Mini Episode should of been the start of The day of the doctor :amazed:

Apparently it was originally going to be that way, but they changed it as they thought beginning with McGann might confuse some viewers :/

McGann needs a full series.

[Scarlett.]

An Adventure in Space & Time was fantastic, the only real complaint is the actor who played Patrick Troughton sounded/looked nothing like him. David Bradley was brilliant.

[Samm]

An Adventure in Space and Time was amazing. I really enjoyed it. Matts cameo at the end was perfect :lovedup:

I'm a bit confused, is the episode on BBC tonight the same as the one that's supposed to be in the cinema?

[Glenn.]

Yes it's being simulcast worldwide when it airs on BBC1 tonight.

[Braden]

Oh, okay. Thanks for letting me know. :)

I know it's unlikely but I hope Ecclestone makes a surprise appearance.

[armand.kay]

I've been re watching every new who series since the end of October I'm currently on the rise of the cybermen

You have an extremely long line of episode ahead then. Rise Of The Cybermen was Series 2! I watched it last night actually. I've been watching Series 7 all day. I'm onto Nightmare in Silver at the moment.

[Marsh.]

Just watched Angels Take Manhattan.

Not much of a fan of Amy and Rory or series 7 but I love this episode.

[Samm]

I started watching doctor who in series 1 in 2005 and I have nether re watched any episode so I decide to watch 1-7. I liked Age of steel but rise of the cyber men was meh

[Verbal]

I've never watched Dr Who other than the odd episode, after all of the talk about the anniversary I decided to give the reboot a go and started watching series 1 this morning. Suffice to say I love it and I have my viewing sorted for probably the next 6 months. :joker:

[james130]

Right, so I wathced Waters of Mars and End Of Time today.
Is that gonna be good enough to be set up for tonight?

Leaving at 8:50 so watching it on TV app on the way.

[Samm]

Aaaaaaa bye going to watch now

[Braden]

I wasn't expecting it to be that good, such a brilliant mark to the 50th anniversary.

What a brilliant show :love:

[Samm]

That was amazing :amazed: The Christmas special looks amazing to

[Samm]

I was so shocked at Peter being in it

[Samm]

Can't wait for Christmas now

[Marsh.]

I suspected Capaldi might be thrown in somewhere. Also that Billie Piper wouldn't be playing Rose.

It was great to see Tom Baker given a part to do at the end. Still a great actor.

A lot of it felt like meandering unfortunately for me, it didn't all flow. The Zygon/Elizabeth stuff felt like padding and something RTD might have been able to make a bit more fun to watch.

But the opening 10 minutes and the last 10 minutes were excellent.

I liked the 12 of them all stood together, dodgy CGI and all. :D

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

I know absolutely nada about doctor who. I have never ever watched one single episode.

[Samm]

Billie did amazing know :love: John hurt was amazing know

[Marsh.]

I know absolutely nada about doctor who. I have never ever watched one single episode.

Thank you for enlightening us. :D

[armand.kay]

Then get yourself on dailymotion/ netflix and catch up you are missing out...A LOT!!

[armand.kay]

This should of been 2hrs long it didn't feel long enough.

[Scarlett.]

That ending is brilliant! It's set up the future of the show perfectly!

[Scarlett.]

I was just thinking...The Master will now be free again, and Rassilion (if The Master didn't toast him) and all the other time lords too, I really can't wait to see what happens next!

[GypsyGoth]

Just finished watching, I thought it was really good, slightly confusing at times. The only doctor I've watched is Matt Smith, so I didn't get some of the stuff.

i watch it as it seen like a big deal it was ok but bill and ted is better #telephonebox

[Marsh.]

I'm a bit torn about the moment not actually happening.

Although 9, 10 and 11 still go on and have their dark brooding about what they think they did. We now know they didn't actually do it. Takes something out of it I suppose.

I dunno, in 'Night of the Doctor' the Doctor was still a young man, where as he's old by the end of the time war, he's still been doing a lot of killing. I'm glad Gallifrey is saved, it was always going to come back, and this is the best way they could have done it, it's like a whole new chapter for the show, the Doctor is no longer this dark angsty 'Last of the Timelords' he finally knows where he's going.

[james130]

I really enjoyed it, but echoing what's already been said. It did feel a little short.
2 hours would have been more appropriate.
Like The End of Time which was a perfect length.

From the trailer I pretty much figured that Billie wouldn't play Rose, but god I hoped she would appear even for a second.
However, if the only negative thing I can take away from it is that their was no Rose Tyler, then they've not done too bad.

At least they got Billie back and sort of in a way that would please the die-hards in terms of integrity instead of just putting her in for the sake of it.
However, with good writing, it could have been managed. :idc:

[Glenn.]

I don't quite understand a few things in the episode.

Although I went on DS straight after to see if they made any sense of it, with time lines and already established events. The End of Time for instance, someone mentioned that the Time Lords in tonight's episode spoke of the High Council sealing themselves away to find a way of ending the war while the Time Lords in the War Room carried on. Which means the events of The End of Time still happened, alongside the events of tonight's.

Thought it was a good episode. So glad the Timelords are finally back. Well alive at any rate. I was hoping for a bit more Time War action and felt some parts of the story wasn't really needed. The Zygon plot was left gaping open with no resolution.

[james130]

... plus this was misleading because she looks her normal self here and this kept me holding on to the hope that this Rose would appear. :(

I saw it on another show as well and this was actual BBC so you'd think they would have been provided with an official image.

'The End of Time' plot took place in between the first war room meeting and the Doctor's returning to Gallifrey to use the moment, I think. The Zygon plot was okay, it was more of a way of showing the War Doctor what 10/11 are like, than a full on serious plot. It's kinda like The Power of Three being more about the Doctor/Amy/Rory than the cube things, except I think Day of the Doctor did a bit better with the subplot, lol.

[james130]

Plus, I kinda hoped; even though we knew Chris Eccleston wasn't coming back, that it was all to confuse us and we would get one shot of The War Doctor regenerating into him.

[armand.kay]

What I don't get is isn't timelords can only regenerate 12 times. They need to write in an explanation why that was changed, it wouldn't bother me so much if this rule wasn't the main part of a couple of the old doctor who episodes and the movie.

[Samm]

I think the weeping angels need to take break from the show.
The new cybermen annoy me we need a new design asap.

I think that will form as the series 8 story arc.

If we're to believe Peter Capaldi will infact play the 13th Doctor then he has reached his limit of regenerations. With Gallifrey now 'lost' series eight's story could be the 13th Doctor on a long search of finding it and when reaching Gallifrey, somehow extending his amount of regenerations.

The Timelords can give new cycles of regenerations out, they did so with The Master. I think the Doctor has more than earned a new cycle.

I just want John Hurt to get one series as the Doctor.

Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat announced today that next year's series will air as a continuous run.

Speaking at the BFI's Eleventh Doctor celebration event in London this afternoon, attended by CultBox, Moffat confirmed explicitly: "There'll be no split."

Series 6 was split between the spring and autumn of 2011, while Series 7 was split between 2012 and 2013.

Series 8 begins filming later this month and is expected to start airing on BBC One in August 2014.

[Samm]

Matt goes today :bawling:

[Samm]

One off the best Xmas specials ever beats all of matts other ones, the episode was just brilliant at the end omg bit disappointed we didn't get a teaser all something like that but oh well

[Natalie.]

I'll watch this on iplayer, when are the new eps?

[Jarrod]

I'm not ashamed to say that I burst out crying at the part with Karen. I'm so happy they brought her back even if it was only extremely short. She was perfect to say goodbye.

[Samm]

I know Jarrod it would of been wrong if she did not get a part in the episode

[Sticks]

My parents did not think much of it, but then they have not liked the Matt Smith episodes.

Could this be because while Tennant was there, the writer was Russell T Davis and Matt was under Steven Moffat?


Did anyone here the musical reference to Rings of Akaten near the end? Also part of it did seem like an attempt to deal with a plot hole left behind by the writers of the old series, pre-Ecclestone"

[Tregard]

Even from that snippet I can tell Capaldi will be spectacular

[Glenn.]

Thought it was a pretty amazing episode :love:

Need to watch it again but I've been up since the crack of dawn and I'm ready to collapse.

[Samm]

Capaldi did look amazing only by that first clip I don't know what his relationship will be like with Clara know I think the doctor and his companion love story thing is over now after rose it got boring.

But I loved the cyber head sad to see it die I though it would be the next K-9

[Samm]

The runaway bride > End of Time > time of the doctor

[Scarlett.]

I loved the episode, though I am wondering what actually ended up happening to Trenzalore after they left? I'm guessing Gallifrey have gone back into hiding though. The regeneration was so sad :(

[Samm]

I have a feeling it will come back in S8

[Scarlett.]

Hopefully, I like how cleverly all the plot threads were tied up.

[Roy Mars III]

It was okay, nowhere near as good as Day of the Doctor

Clara continues to be the best aspect of the show since 2005

Capaldi will be an amazing Doctor. Smith was the best since the 05, but even he was not that good

and thank god for that, it was always terrible.

The Doctor is, and should be, asexual

It'd have to have been amazing to beat Day of the Doctor, lol. One of the best Christmas specials though.

I hear a rumour that there's gonna be an easter special.

[Samm]

I hope so, I will not be able to wait for august

HyS8oD64L-s

[Scarlett.]

Yeah, normally, it'd not be such a big deal, having to wait, but its a long time to wait for a new Doctor.

[Jamesy]

It would be nice if they did a short Easter special (maybe just a 30-40 minute thing?) just to break up the gap now until series 8.

Last nights special I thought was pretty weak if I'm honest. I usually adore Moffat's writing style although he seemed to had lost it with this script. The pacing was terrible too. Although I'll have to give it a few more viewings to see if it's better watching it again. The last 10 minutes were amazing though. The rest of the episode felt like it was missing something.

[armand.kay]

NOO how can they not have even a teaser :bawling:

[Roy Mars III]

because they don't start shooting till next month

[Pete.]

It was amazing - the best Christmas Special yet

But no River?? The ****?
Loved the Amy inclusion though - very fitting

In My Opinion:
1) Time of the Doctor
2) Christmas Invasion
3) Runaway Bride
4) Voyage of the Damned
5) The Snowmen
6) End of Time


7) The Doctor, The Witch and the Wardrobe
8) A Christmas Carol


9) The Next Doctor (just awful)

[Scarlett.]

It would have been silly for River to return two episodes after she said goodbye.

[GypsyGoth]

I looked at it and really enjoyed it but I missed some.

Why did he choose to stay in Christmas?

Also how did the vapors from the crack (that sounds so wrong :laugh:) give him the ability to regenerate when it went into his mouth?

I do plan to watch it again.

[Pete.]

Also how did the vapors from the crack (that sounds so wrong :laugh:) give him the ability to regenerate when it went into his mouth?

that was the time lords sending him a new regeneration(s) after Clara's plea

[GypsyGoth]

Thanks Peter :love:

[Scarlett.]

that was the time lords sending him a new regeneration(s) after Clara's plea

They sent him a whole new cycle of regenerations, they've done it before when The Master reached his final life. So The Doctor now has 12...or 11? regenerations left.

1. A Christmas Carol
2. Time of the Doctor
3. The Snowmen

I don't give a **** about the others though.

[Pete.]

it never will be :bawling:

[Pete.]

I agree half of them were pure ****

[GypsyGoth]

They sent him a whole new cycle of regenerations, they've done it before when The Master reached his final life. So The Doctor now has 12...or 11? regenerations left.

And why did he choose to stay in that town, grow old there and be their guardian? Like he could have had a lifetime of adventures instead of protecting them.

[Scarlett.]

And why did he choose to stay in that town, grow old there and be their guardian? Like he could have had a lifetime of adventures instead of protecting them.

Because he'd rather die protecting the town, plus, the time lords were involved, so he felt somewhat responsible. On the topic of the time lords, I reckon they've reopened another crack in the universe, but its been hidden this time.

[GypsyGoth]

Thanks Chewy :love:

[Scarlett.]

You just know that in a few years, there will be some controversy over wether or not the Doctor regenerated on the clock tower or not, then regenerated again in the TARDIS :D

[armand.kay]

1) Voyage of the Damned
2) Christmas Invasion
3) Runaway Bride
imo.

[Pete.]

You just know that in a few years, there will be some controversy over wether or not the Doctor regenerated on the clock tower or not, then regenerated again in the TARDIS :D

He didn't regenerate in the TARDIS though as he was already regenerating when he saw Amy then he titled his head back then Mr Capaldi appeared

[Scarlett.]

He didn't regenerate in the TARDIS though as he was already regenerating when he saw Amy then he titled his head back then Mr Capaldi appeared

I know that :p I'm just saying, in a few years, I can imagine fans argueing over wether or not he regenerated twice, lol. (Even though he was just regenerating slowly due to the new cycle) :joker:

[armand.kay]

I thought he did regenerate in the TARDIS and the scene at the clock tower was just his body resetting.

[BBfanUSA]

Missed the Xmas Special and thought I had it recorded on BBC America, I didn't LOL. I recorded A Day Of The Doctor with the Night Of The Doctor attached to the beginning so it could fill two hours.

Couldn't have the patience to wait until Tuesday to catch it again so I watched Matt's Regeneration. His Last Line was so fitting. Although I was waiting for an epic golden explosion to happen instead of Matt just leaning back for five seconds and then Peter's in his place.

[Sticks]

Capaldi did look amazing only by that first clip I don't know what his relationship will be like with Clara know I think the doctor and his companion love story thing is over now after rose it got boring.



Why is a love story boring? What about the River Song - Doctor love story

I thought it added a dynamic to the whole thing, the regeneration scene made one feel sorry for Clara as she was loosing the one she loved.

He pleas through the crack seemed more like her continuing her role as the girl born to save the Doctor.

[Scarlett.]

I wonder if Capaldi will get a new logo? Since Eccleston, Tennant and Smith all did.

I also realised, Smith's Doctor is one of the longest living in the show, since he was alive for about 1000 years. Compare that to the 9th Doctor's one year, or the 10th Doctor's 5/6 years.

I'm interested to see what happens with Clara and the Doctor, people have been wanting to see this for years "Imagine if a companion is in love with the Doctor, and he suddenly regenerates as a much older guy" lol.

[BBfanUSA]

Yeah, I think they've teased adding another guy to join the doctor and become Clara's Boyfriend.

Heavy speculation that it could be the guy that told Clara that her Doctor called in the first few minutes of the 50th

[Scarlett.]

I like the new Dalek Fighters, they look a lot better than Bronze Dalek's just flying around, lol
http://i.imgur.com/jWhWYvX.gif

[Glenn.]

Me too. I'm glad they've featured again after the 50th.

I'm glad they've managed to build up an empire again. Hopefully Capaldi will face them this series. One thing that pissed me off in "Time" was the fact the Daleks now remember the Doctor again. Would of been great for 12 to face them without them knowing who he was.

Definately, I think you might be right. I hope it is Davros, lol.

It's probably not although it would be nice to see him back.

[Marsh.]

Where did you hear that? I was hoping this would be his last? D:

Somebody posted an interview on DS where Moffat mentions that he only plots the show one series at a time and only towards the end does he start to think of the next series. He mentioned he's come up with a "massive cliffhanger you won't see coming" for the penultimate episode of series 9.

[Jarrod]

The first five scripts of Doctor Who Series 8 were leaked online today after a mishap by the BBC.

[Marsh.]

I read about that. I spent half an hour trying to find them. :laugh:

No such luck. :sad:

[Marsh.]

So, the series 8 premiere is 79 minutes. Isn't that longer than the anniversary special? :laugh:

[armand.kay]

Omg :worry:

[armand.kay]

Peter capaldi is gonna be great his voice in that trailer sounds so good. I hope Moffat doesn't **** this season up to much http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ed2305b7.png

[Marsh.]

Capaldi could be the best ever.

It's a shame he has to have Moffat oversee his stories. Hopefully Moffat goes back to Blink/Silence in the Library standard and forgets the timey wimpy sh*te.

[armand.kay]

Omg I'm so here for davros coming back, I need him to make the daleks scary again I'm not here for how they've been represented lately. Also I hope the doctor goes to skaro again, twice even before and after the time war.

[Marsh.]

I've never seen Skaro. :amazed:

I'm only a NuWho watcher. :laugh:

you haven't missed much it's basically the same messy quarry they used for every single planet in the classic who :laugh:
That's why I want to see what it would be like in NuWho.

[Scarlett.]

I've never seen Skaro. :amazed:

I'm only a NuWho watcher. :laugh:

But it was the first thing shown at the start of S7 (by that I mean, two years ago of course) :laugh:

The BBC has apologised after five scripts from the upcoming eighth series of Doctor Who were leaked online.

The corporation's commercial arm BBC Worldwide pleaded with anyone who has seen the leaked scripts not to share any information.

Doctor Who Steven Moffat: 'New series is biggest change since 2005'

"BBC Worldwide is currently investigating a security issue around Doctor Who series eight where unfinished material has inadvertently been made public," the company told Radio Times in a statement.

"We deeply regret this and apologise to all the show's fans, the BBC and the cast and crew who have worked tirelessly making the series.

"We would like to make a plea to anyone who might have any of this material and spoilers associated with it not to share it with a wider audience so that everyone can enjoy the show as it should be seen when it launches.

Doctor Who: Peter Capaldi's first episode thrilling, says Mark Gatiss

"We know only too well that Doctor Who fans are the best in the world and we thank them for their help with this and their continued loyalty."

The scripts are thought to have leaked after being sent to BBC Worldwide's Latin America headquarters in Miami for translation.

Steven Moffat's opening episode 'Deep Breath' is included in the leaked material, as well as four other episodes.

Peter Capaldi's debut in the feature-length premiere of the eighth series will air on Saturday, August 23 on BBC One in the UK and BBC America in the US.

I loved The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon but the story arc that came of it was utter rubbish. The finale of S6 is probably the worst episode the show ever did.
