Dr Who's 50th.

[Techno]

Watched the first 20 minutes...boring!!! 

Thought the same thing Gareth..Which is why I found it that tiny bit disappointing ..But it did get better. 

Went to the flicks on Saturday night and found a queue stretching out the door to see the Dr Who thing. Went and saw Gravity instead. Brilliant - but don't watch it if you're prone to motion sickness. 

....I heard the same thing Ray....Allegedly some folk have had to leave the 3D showing due to feeling 'seasick'.

Cheers - Phil.

Agree totally:  Matt Smith is to David Tennant   as Sylvester McCoy was to Tom Baker (I do realise they were some time apart but you get the point).

I really liked McCoy - he was written as a clown, but he tried hard to be the Trickster. There was a dangerous wild edge showing here & there, but the stories didn't let him use it.

Of all the Doctors I think my favourite so far is Christopher Ecclestone's "I'm Northern, me. I'm 'ard. You don't want to mess with me I'm The f'king Doctor, me" Dr Who but I've a lot of time for Matt Smith's alternately brooding yet zany version.

I like the 11th, he wears a fez. Fezzes are cool!

So what happened to all that ' A Timelord has 12 incarnations stuff'  they used to talk about?

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Twelve re generations equals thirteen incarnations.

I thought it was a clever plot and ok.

Dis anyone see the drama/documentary about how doctor "An adventure in Space and Time".  I thought that was better then the 50th episode

So this is going to be the last ever Doctor

Maybe someone will slip him an Asprin by accident and he'll die

Well I enjoyed it.  I've enjoyed all the reboot.

Agree with Ithorieal - Eccleston was a breath of fresh air and Matt Smith's approach has been fun too. Tennant was just loud and wide eyed.

Of the 50th, I have to say it's 1 hour 20 minutes of my life I am never getting back, the only highlight of which was the rather cute scientist. If she became a new 2nd companion alongside the very lovely Jenna then I'd become a new viewer...

Do you mean the one with asthma and the Tom Baker scarf? That's Ingrid Oliver, one half of the comedy duo Watson and Oliver.

Thats the one although in this pic she's not quite so cute.

However, should she have an asthmatic emergency I'd quite happily pop round to her's and let her have a puff on my neb mask and O2 cylinder..... and if she were really well behaved she could even have a trip in my amby up to A&E and we could talk about anatomy and stuff...
