good episode, and Chris Noth as that jack robertson

i know him from many movies, he's a good actor

It's kinda funny how quickly /r/gallifrey went from hating Moffat to hating Chibnall and wanting Moffat back...

Rumours circulating that the Christmas special has been axed in favour of a New Years special.

Urgh. Mediocre scripts, mediocre Doctor, possibly no season next year, and now no Christmas special? I miss the reliability of RTD...

I'm enjoying this series so far and I think Jodie is a great Doctor. The no special rumour was squashed and it's happening - there's 100% a special but they might be bumping it to NYE/NYD instead of having it too close to the end of S10. I think it's a good idea, I always miss the Christmas episode on the day because of how much is going on so I think moving it to NYD is a good idea - you'll get a greater viewer figure etc.

As for having no series, It won't be down to Chibnall if there's no series next year, that'll be a decision from above him at the BBC in terms of production costs. However I'm pretty sure that also got squashed by some online CV's etc of producers who are already starting work on S11 for 2018-2019.

Plus, if they start filming in January, it usually takes 8 or 9 months from start to finish to film and edit the series which means it would be ready for an October release, like this year. The only reason it felt like they were filming for so long this time around was because of the regeneration scene, Children In Need got added and they had a large break between filming.

I've done so much reminiscing on Doctor Who this week, and it's a shame I never feel the same excitement I used to. I remember the anticipation leading up to Journeys End was unbeatable, knowing all of the Doctor Who Universe would unite and I'd give anything to live that excitement again.

Also lots of hypothetical things, like how much more incredible the 50th Anniversary would've been if Elisabeth Sladen was still around, and what would've come of SJA (I know at least one more series was planned) and her interactions with Peter and possibly Jodie.

I'm glad Jodie resparked my interest though, I feel a new kind of excitement before each Saturday.

To each their own I guess - I really like Capaldi, but that seemed to be a bit of a minority view.

JW is fine, but she's just kind of ... There. She hasn't had an awesome "THERE'S the Doctor!" type moment, she just meanders through the stories.

Liam- · 02-11-2018, 01:31 PM

The recent episode ****ed me up, it was so good.

I’m loving Jodie so far, the whole show feels completely fresh, the vibe of it is amazing, I’m missing the more comedy driven scripts at times, but it’s a great mixture right now.

I remember how upset I was when I found out about that Liz had passed away.

In terms of SJA, they had to abandon the second half of Series 5 and they'd planned series 6. Interestingly, they also planned a week of live Halloween episodes which sounded really interesting. I'll put them in the spoiler thing below. There were loads of interesting abandoned storylines for SJA

Spoiler:

Just remembered that they actually commissioned a Rose Tyler spin-off but cancelled it after

It is the Mirror reporting, and they're not the best for getting Doctor Who stuff right

i am excited for tonight's episode

Scarlett. · 04-11-2018, 12:11 PM

To be honest I don't mind them switching to a New Years Day episode, Christmas Who always kinda gets lost in the schedules, plus The End of Time had a NYD episode.

true, you got a good point here

Ashley. · 05-11-2018, 12:12 AM

Well that was creative I suppose

MB. · 05-11-2018, 12:13 AM

Man, I sure do wish that episode had more impenetrable sci-fi jargon in it! And even less of a plot!

Marsh. · 05-11-2018, 12:50 AM

Honest to god, how many more are scripted by Chibnall?

The series is actually ****ing boring me the more it goes on.

Exposition, boring dialogue, attempt at backstory, exposition, boring dialogue, more exposition.

Ryan is terrible. Had enough of his awful bloody accent and his sh*tty acting.

Just Yaz and Graham next year please.

Marsh. · 05-11-2018, 12:51 AM

Also, Jodie said how she had to be told several times to soften her accent by directors and it actually shows. She's constantly over-enunciating, which makes her sound like a really bad actress.

I'm sick of that thing she does where she's trying to explain something with loads of weird words in it and she moves her hands in the air and looks down at them.

I like her but she needs to mix it up a bit.

He was bloody awful in Hollyoaks and got killed off after doing literally nothing in a mass cull so idk how he's managed to land a prominent role in this tbh.

Marsh. · 05-11-2018, 12:52 AM

This series needs to improve loads and fast. I've had it now.

Marsh. · 05-11-2018, 12:53 AM

Jodie seems more like the Doctor in real life tbh. In interviews she's so funny and vibrant but in this it's all very pedestrian and rehearsed and bland.

Is it Chibnall?
