Amph Doctor Who Discussion (Russell T. Davies returns)

Ooh, time to make out the misty villains at the end!

I can clearly see a Dalek in the top middle, a Cybus-style Cyberman top left, and an Ice Warrior bottom right. Then what looks to be a new design of Ice Lord at the end.

Possibly Davros beneath the Dalek, and Colony Sarff to his left. The one between the Cyberman and the Dalek could be a ghost from Under the Lake/Before the Flood. That leaves the middle right and bottom left unknown to me.

 

May I ask a question?

Spoiler

I just saw "The LEGO Batman Movie". How come Superman and Batman can each send the Daleks into the Phantom Zone without a second thought, but the Doctor, the Oncoming Storm and the Enemy of the Daleks, frequently has trouble brining himself to drop the hammer on those homicidal trashcans? Are the Man of Steel and the Caped Crusader better Dalek fighters than the Doctor?
Oh, and I was surprised that, if I saw correctly, Terry Nation and the BBC didn't get a "created by" listing in the end credits.

 

Remember the last time that bookies suspended betting?

If that's true, then damn I'm good!

 

The ORIGINAL classic Who Mondian Cybermen are returning!

If that's true, so is Everton. He texted me after it was announced that Kris Marshall was leaving Death In Paradise, suggesting he would be an interesting choice for the new Doctor.

 

Ha, I didn't even hear that! I was just picking people I liked.

 

We've taken to watching Death In Paradise. It's strangely addictive and fun to watch, despite being terribly formulaic. Plus, the juxtaposition of the opening scene which usually involve some horrible murder and the jolly cheerful credits music is just so bizarre and silly.

 

I occasionally catch it when I'm abroad, depending on what's on.

 

Just got an e-mail from Rifftrax. For their live show in August, they'll be riffing on "The Five Doctors". They did a great job with the Peter Cushing movies, so this should be interesting.

 

On March 27th, 2005, this was broadcast over BBC1:

 

If a Doctor Who fan wants to use a pickup line, would they ask the following:

"Are you a Weeping Angel? Because I can't take my eyes off you."

 

Lest we forget...

So we finally get a companion who isn't immediately in love with the Doctor

 

Ahem! Donna wasn't immediately in love with the Doctor.

 

True, but she is the only exception (and also one of the better companions as well)

 

This is good news though I fear they'll drop Bill off when Capaldi goes, I'm thinking Chibnall is going to want a fresh start

 

Major Spoiler...

Spoiler

John Simms is returning as the Master! Could well meet Missy too

 

Spoiler

Maybe we'll get that regeneration scene afterall.

 

For UK folks the first show of the new series is on BBC1 Saturday 15 April from 7:20-8:10 PM according to the Sunday Times Culture magazine TV listings.

 

BBCA is confirming a 9PM time for the same date.

 

I always expect those Cybermen to start playing the accordion

 

The other day I bought a Doctor Who novella, "Touched by an Angel." I read it last night, and I enjoyed it. It involves the Eleventh Doctor, Amy and Rory as they deal with the Weeping Angels. Due to continuity, it obviously takes place between Time of the Angels/Flesh & Stone and The Angels Take Manhattan.
