I really enjoyed it too, Kense! :-D

LadyScozz...
I used to have that as my text message warning...dung de dung dung de dung..dung dung dung dung gung.......Woooooo...ooooo
LOL

I thought Jodie Whittaker was very good, brilliant even, as the new Doctor Who.

Peter Capaldi rocks, quite literally!! :-) :-D :-)

I'm like Tabitha except I love Peter Capaldi in anything :-)

(and I never really watched the oldies, just the various new series)

but this series, and the last couple before in fact, has lost its way when it comes to actual stories ... and places, and people ...

all suspense suspense suspense and the same thing happening over and over and nothing happening ...

I've never watched it but I remember in the '70s when my young son started to watch it. It scared him witless but he would not have it turned off. One day he watched it on the telly in the lounge while holding on to the kitchen door so he could see me cooking at the same time. He loved it.

Kids just love to be a bit scared, I think. I can remember the same feeling when I was a child - frightened but fascinated.

OH remembers all you have mentioned Tabitha.

He also liked Peter Cushing as Dr Who but that was in the film.

I have watched nearly all of them - was a bit too young to remember the William Harnell ones & Patrick Troughton ones - but have seen some on repeats

I loved Jon Pertwee & Paul McGann - the shows were really good

David Tennant - I think he is my favourite so far
Peter Davidson & Matt Smith were a lot better

However I liked some of the stories Chris Eccelstone had but not him

I prefer the creepy stories like the Weeping Angels and the ghostly children as well as the girl behind the fireplace - that's haunting i love it my favorite one

At the moment not that keen on Peter Capaldi or the stories in the new series


Also ones like Crack in Time & next doctor and when he had Amy Pond

I think out of the lot its got to be River song who steals the show

I not a great fan of anything on tv....... rather watch grass grow.

DH has been a Dr fan forever......... he's even got the Tardis noise as his mobile 'phone ring.

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Guinevere thought you did :-)

Error! Error!
The link doesn't work.

Wasnt there another site, a sand quarry somewhere?

Not far from Corsham, Wiltshire there is a site which has been an inspiration for a lot of UK SciFi series.

Haven't watched it for yonks - don't really like the 'sexy' Dr Who - to me he was always a geeky sort of twit who was handy to have around, like Tom Baker.

It has recently markedly improved just when it seemed to be destined for a black hole somewhere in Cardiff.

The echos of Philip K. Dick and Ray Bradbury in the story lines are quite noticable. Be fun if they could contract out episodes to independents - I'd start with Ridley Scott and James Cameron.

Back in the 60s I actually sat inside a real BBC Dalek! Exterminate...
:-0

We, as individuals behind the sofa, or as 'maturing' adults have watched virtually every episode since its conception.

It takes a while for new actors to bed in to the title roll. Still not sure about Peter Capaldi nor the dark story lines.

It's fantasy. You either love it or loathe it ;-)

Overhyped crap can't stand it.
