and they had that pit next to his cell where they used to push people down and leave them to die so he could hear them

old doctor who = camp and silly. ill admit that the new doctor who has had some baaaad moments of over acting and childishness, but this was a very clever episode

Doctor Who was so scary last night, and then afterwards i was walking out of the bathroom, open the door and my mum was standing outside with her hands over her eyes!! Made me scream

I feel bad for the kids who watched cos i'm an adult and scared me, they'll be sleeping with their lights on - cos you know they can get you when the lights are out brr.

Sorry Candydoll but that made me laugh out loud, you have a cool mum!

old doctor who wasn't camp and silly, i distinctly remember hiding behind the sofa from the cybermen! being five can't possibly have been the reason can it? Tom Baker rocked!

Truly Tom Baker was the chosen one. Jelly baby anybody?

I'm torn between Tom Baker and Jon Pertwee having met them both as well as Patrick troughton, Peter Davidson, Colin Baker and most of their assistants as well as K9 and a dalek and cyberman. Yes I have all their autographs as well as William Hartnell's wife ( she signed as 1st Mrs Doctor Who.

Jon Pertwee wins on being charming and friendly to his fans , one of the others was damn right rude and horrible. These things leave an impression when you're 10.

Anyway David Tennent is way more camp and jokey (ducks flying veg etc) the doctor was rude and sarcastic and the premise from the first episode was that he had NO control on his Tardis it would be nice if he could leave earth thesedays.

Honestly you probably have less idea of where you'll end up on a train in this country than in the tardis

At least the tardis is going slightly further afield these days – there was a brief time when it didn't seem to be able to make it out of modern-day London [or is that Cardif?]. Now it can get as far as just out side London and a few decades in the past.


I mainly remember Jon Pertwee as Wurzel Gummage rather than Dr Who and Patrick Troughton always seemed a little scary. Out of curiosity, which one was rude and horrible?

William Hartnal was a lot scarier than Patrick Troughton althoufgh I know what you mean. The rude one came between Jon Pertwee and Peter Davidson without naming names. He wouldn't sign things and obviously didn't want to be there. In total contrast the others esp. Jon Pertwee were wonderful. He was very much like Julian has been at Landscapes very charming and friendly treating us more like long lost friends and asking what we thought of things.

This could explain why I watch anything with sean Pertwee in these days.

In all honesty though public transport can get you a few miles out of London and a few decades back, you kind of expect more from a time lord!!

Living in Cardiff you see evidence of them filming quite a lot. We should be due some fake snow soon for the christmas episode.
It makes watching the episodes more fun when you can recognise all the landmarks and sometimes friends houses, same with Torchwood.

in Plymouth we're a few decades behind everyone else anyway so I just thought it was a current affairs programme and all the wierd stuff was just you strange london folk

Heheh! I've yet to get her back for that

Oh my bloody god - did ANYONE watch DW on sat???? HOW GOOD WAS THAT!!!!!

Thanks to the appearence of John Simms I will now be sticking with Doctor Who although I will be supporting the master.

Although of course now my dreams of John Simm as the Doctor will never happen now but thinking about it I'd rather see him evil

Stuff John Simm, Captain Jack is back yeah!
They managed to stay off Earth for one week anyway but back to London/Cardiff next week.

John Simm, John Barrowman and David Tennant – now if only Julian Rhind Tutt could put in an appearance…

I know what a veritable bonanza of top male totty. I think John Simm is going to make a superb master. He's certainly mastered (gedit) the slightly manical look. It's just a shame there are only 2 episodes left.

Do we have any idea when/if Torchwood is coming back?

Oh yeah its coming back and I think they have done with filming

Queen Sue I like your thinking maybe you should become a casting director

ooh, good idea, i've been contemplating a change of career


just think of all the work JRT would find himself getting then!

ok so i'm bored and stuck at work doing nothing but knowing when I get home i've got to pull an all nighter to get a dress and 2 hats finished befor e I come and sit here getting bored again tomorrow

So what would be the perfect role to have cast Julian in. Would love to see him in Jekyll or something like that any other ideas.

now if this concept seems too grown up I'm also sitting here thinking of

Thighs and a certain ducati

i was just about to come up with a sensible answer and then you distracted me and now i can't think of anything but thighs and ducatis. you also made me laugh out loud so now people think i'm nuts, but I don't think that is a new revelation.

don't worry you are not alone I quite often laugh out loud at work but i'm still the most normal one here. Going to take the what would be your operfect jrt role over to his temple

I just did

john simm the best thing to happen to doctor who in decades someone who can act without over acting
