Doctor Who

[MarkWaldorf]

Not sure if there was a thread on this, but the new series starts very soon. Is anyone else looking forward to it? :laugh:

EDIT: Just read that it's back 31st March :thumbs:

[Lauren]

I don't watch it. I don't like it :bigsmile: LOL. I'm one of the few people that don't.

Thanks for the info though. :laugh:

[MarkWaldorf]

Lmao, I've never met a Brit who doesn't like Doctor Who. Why don't you like it?

[Lauren]

It's all about Aliens and weird things and time travelly things. Not my thing :hugesmile:

[MarkWaldorf]

:laugh: That didn't stop you watching Primeval, and saying you liked it.

[*M*a*TT*H*ew*]

I forgot to mention this. During Comic Relief last night, when viewers had to swicth from BBC One to BBC Two at 10.00pm, I saw a Doctor Who Advert! :hugesmile:
The screen was first split in half, with the Doctor on the left and the new assistant on the right. Then, the screen turned black, the Tardis music went on, and words appeared:

Two Worlds Will Collide

It was awesome. I just can't wait!!! :cheer2:

its rubbish and i dont see why people like it

[Tom4784]

I Can't wait for it to start, i'm looking foward to seeing how Freema does as an asistant!

[MarkWaldorf]

Me too, I hope she's really liked and wins loads of acting awards.

[Chrizzle]

I dont really like it. I stopped watching after series 1, when the original went. Now I got used to David Tennant and Billie then they changed it again.

It got boring.
But Ill watch the first one.

[Tom4784]

Who has read the Sun today? Apparently they are making ANOTHER Dr Who spin off, this one involves the Doctor and Martha as cartoons apparently.

[Sophii3x]

Yeyyy can't wait! I do actually loves Dr Who, shame Rose isn't in it anymore.
It's soo cool and I recognise loads of the places where they film it!

[MarkWaldorf]

LOL Sophie! It's great I know. I can't wait for next week.

[BigSister]

hehe sophie im looking forward to next saturday should be good

[MarkWaldorf]

I hope Freema (sp?) does really well.

[andybigbro]

i dont like dr Who But Kathryn Drysdale has Been a guest Star before lol Just to let you all know :whistle:

[Sophii3x]

Ohh just found out that one of the episodes was filmed in Singelton Hospital in Swansea!

Most of Dr Who is filmed in Cardiff but they film bits in Swansea (even though it's meant to be set in London)

[MarkWaldorf]

Have you ever been to see them film?

2 DAYSSS. :cheer2:

[Sophii3x]

No :sad: I don't think you can.

Iv'e been to some Dr Who thing though. Where you get to see props, characters and things and learn more about the Dr Who series. Kwesi wanted me to go, so we ended up going up to Cardiff to see it. Never thought i'd be that interested but it was really good!

I can't wait until Saturday!

[MarkWaldorf]

:hugesmile: How lucky! Were there any Dalek props?

I can't wait either!! I hope Freema does great!

[Sophii3x]

We saw the actuall Darleks that they use!:bigsmile:

I have pictures. I'll look for them and post them!

[MarkWaldorf]

Thanks. :wink:

[Sophii3x]

I loved series 1

[BigSister]

[Chrizzle]

It was actually good.
I like the new girl. Shes very pretty and a good actress.

[MarkWaldorf]

I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Great opener! Bring on next week.

[BigSister]

yeah i agree with chris and mark looking fowrad to next weeks ^_^

[Sophii3x]

It was brilliant! BTW I told you about Singelton Hospital!! :hugesmile:

Freema is really good, but it was really odd not having Billie there. Discusting when that woman was sucking blood out of his neck.

Next weeks looks soo scary!

[MarkWaldorf]

I've downloaded it so I shall be watching it again. :thumbs2:

Was that hospital from Wales? I thought it was in London.

[Sophii3x]

Yea! It's like a 10 minutes drive away from my house! I had to go there yesterday to drop my sister off for her scan. It's really wierd seeing it on telly. Looked tiny on the moon!

I think it's repeated at 7:00pm tonight on BBC2.. not sure though.

[Sophii3x]

My mum just told me that she was at Singelton Hospital when it was being filmed!! Somehow she forgot to tell us, but she said it wasn't exciting or anything.

Nice avatar Mark!:thumbs:

[MarkWaldorf]

OMG! Was she on the moon too? :shocked:

EDIT: Omg. how stupid. :blush2:

[Sophii3x]

No, she wasn't on the moon!!
BTW best part of that show was Martha saying.. "I'm on the bloody moon"!!

She saw them filming by the doorways. At the time my mother was a bit pissed off because the closed the whole car park!

[BigSister]

LOL Mark of course they wasnt on the moon hehe:tongue:
And thats cool soph

Dr Who series is ratings hit
The new series of Doctor Who has proved a ratings hit after 8.2 million people tuned in to watch the first episode, according to early BBC figures.

The BBC show, which stars David Tennant as the doctor, was also the debut of Freema Agyeman as his new assistant, trainee doctor Martha Jones.

It saw off competition from ITV 1's Harry Potter film, which attracted an average of 4.7 million viewers.

The series will see the doctor meeting Shakespeare and the Daleks

TELETEXT

[Tom4784]

I loved it, Freema was excellent and i can't wait to see more of her. David Tennant was excellent as always. It looks good next week with those witch things!

[Sophii3x]

Did anyone watch it yesterday? (me thinks Becca did!)

It was fantastic. The witches scared me though!:sad:

[MarkWaldorf]

I did, I missed the first 8 minutes so it was a bit confusing, but it was a really good episode.

[Sophii3x]

It was brilliant. The effects in the end was amazing!
Shakespeare was funny.
Iv'e been teasing my mother all day today, saying that I'm going to steal her hair, put it on a voodoo doll and 'drown' her!!

[Ruth*Star]

i loved yesterdays episode. the witches faces freaked me out.

[Sophii3x]

OMG I know! And in the end when they were cackling.. Arghhh stuff like that just scare the hell out of me!

[BigSister]

yep i watched it sophie and i really enjoyed it. i didnt like the witches though. I like the rose mentions though

[Corkie]

Tonight is the 3rd episode of the new series and looks to continue it great series so far. Cat people return... and traffic jams have got to big for there boots as you stay there for years on end.

Note: This episode might be delayed for next week if the football goes on for extended time (lets hope not)

[MarkWaldorf]

Yeah, let's hope it doesn't run into extra time. As if it doesn't cause as much trouble to the TV guide as it is. :rolleyes:

[James]

I liked the witches and Shakespeare episode - it was good fun. When I was young I thought the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz was really frightening and witches still creep me out a bit. :pat: :hugesmile:

Lol, I'm reading a book about the wicked witch. Titled "Wicked"

But I used to afraid of dummy's (like dummy's in shop that you put clothes on) My theory was that they came alive at night... so the first episode of the new docter who first series has exactly that so it was bit creepy for me... :laugh::pat:

[BigSister]

im glad that it didnt get extended ive taped it though so im going to watch it soon

[Ruth*Star]

Those kittens on today were so cute and the cat people were awesome. but that huge face was a little werid.

:elephant::elephant::elephant::elephant::elephant:

Human Dalek (http://www.gallifreyone.com/picview.php?ret=news&sub=news&id=RT-2007-04.jpg)

[MarkWaldorf]

It was really good, can't wait for next weeks!

[~Kizwiz~]

I am really enjoying this series of DW. I thought that because Rose wasnt going to be in it it wouldnt have the same spark but Freema Agyeman is doing a stirling job as Martha.

[BigSister]

OMG human daleks
I missed it tonight but looking forward to next weeks now

[Ruth*Star]

i missed it aswell. i was busy so i forgot it was on.

[BigSister]

I saw it tonight though i really really enjoyed it although the human daleks*shudders* and the pig things as well creeped me out

[James]

I thought that Dalek episode was the worst of the series so far... nothing much happened I didn't think. But it was a two-parter.

Good series so far though.

[nodisharmony]

Be afraid everyone :puzzled::puzzled::puzzled:

Dr Who is about to face the ( Human Dalek )

[Sam]

Yawn i find this two parter really boring but i am loving the rest of this seires

I have just watched it and I have to tell you some terrible news.

All the Daleks have been exterminated except one.

That Dalek escaped, so I imagine that this Dalek will come back and the superior intelect of this Dalek will be able to make more Dalek's.

Dr Who has failed, even though he saved the day.

It's great stuff, even though it can be over the top an too unbelievable at times.

Doctor Who won 8 awards at the Bafta Cymru Awards.. YEY!

Dr Who sweeps Bafta Cymru board
The Doctor Who show has cleaned up at the Bafta Cymru Awards for the second year running, managing to win in eight of 13 nominations.
Actor David Tennant, who plays the Time Lord, won best actor, with lead writer Russell T Davies best screenwriter.

Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood won four gongs including best drama series and best actress for Eve Myles.

Both programmes are made by BBC Wales. Controller Menna Richards said she was "very proud indeed".

Doctor Who's success was even better than last year, when it won five awards.

Its accolades this year included: best lighting director - not camera; best editor; best original music soundtrack; best make-up; best costume, and best director: drama.

Sci-fi thriller Torchwood also picked up best director of photography: drama, and best design.

The programme's success rounded off a night which saw BBC Wales pick up 24 Bafta Cymru Awards - more than any other broadcaster - at the Cardiff International Arena on Saturday.

Documentary series Tribe won two prizes, with Iolo's Welsh Safari awarded two, including best on-screen presenter for Iolo Williams. Coast picked up the award for the best factual programme.

Other BBC Wales winners included Taro Naw in the best current affairs category, and the OB team for its live coverage of the Royal Opening of the Senedd.

Menna Richards added: "Congratulations to all of the winners.

"I'm very proud indeed of the success of all those who've made such wonderful programmes for BBC Wales.

"It's great to see BAFTA Cymru recognising the talents of all those who make programmes of the highest possible standards."

Thats wicked. thanks for posting that sophie

[Clom]

The BBC has announced that Series Three will take a one-week break on Saturday 12th May, meaning transmission of episode seven, 42, will now be on the 19th May.

The episode is being delayed because the BBC is committed to broadcasting the Eurovision Song Contest at 8pm that evening.

To fit Doctor Who into the schedule, it would require an earlier than usual start. Past evidence shows that the earlier the start time of the programme the lower the ratings, and it is thought the BBC wish to keep Doctor Who at 7pm in future to maximise the number watching.

[Clom]

Figures show that episode six of Series Three, The Lazarus Experiment, was watched by 6.8 million viewers,
a 37.1% share of the UK television audience.

The programme was top of the UK ratings chart for the night, beating Casualty, which got 6.3 million.
On ITV1, Vernon Kay's Gameshow Marathon got 4 million viewers and Grease is the Word got 3.8 million.

The programme was again top of the Under 16's chart for the week with 1.5 million viewers, which was a massive 60.7% audience share. It's nearest rivals were EastEnders with 0.7m viewers and Ugly Betty with 0.6m.

[Clom]

[Corkie]

Yeah it was very good.

And I always look forward to the end bit of doctor who christmas special as it gets me all excited for the year ahead lol
