The Dr Who thread

If anyone would like to know where the basic idea (Although not the entire plot) for the next episode of Doctor Who came from you might like to track down a copy of the 2006 Doctor Who annual and read "What I did on my holidays by Sally Sparrow" written by one Steven Moffat

I think it's going to be a cracker.

Who, sir? You, sir? No, sir!

Well I guess they had the best insurance of any Doctor Who episode. If you consider what happened to Brandon Lee and John Candy the idea of schoolkids being harmed by blank machine gun shots must have been frightening.

John Candy? He died in his sleep.

Anyone watched this ?

Totally Doctor Who

Accidentally caught it today, and it as expected a cross between BBC Saturday morning TV and Confidential. But it did have a different trailer for tomorrow's show at the end of it: no Doctor, lots of statues. Looks promising, would even say potentially the best in the season, except the last two episodes set the bar so high it would take a miracle to better them.

Best episode of the series - by far. One of the scariest, saddest, cleverest and most uplifting episodes ever. Equal to season 2's Dalek, and last seasons ep with Liz Sladon. 11/10.

OMG this was wonderful. Totally original as well.

And very spooky!

PS: that girl was gorgeous.

Steven Moffat should write every episode.

Also Sally Sparrow. Would and then Would again.

Not bad at all. They're definitely getting better. That's three in three weeks I've really enjoyed.

Still, Captain Jack is back next week..so all that might change if he wipes Torchwood all over the Tardis..

That was an excelent eppisode.

Balanced, intense, and even all the psydo-science made sense.

Of course, nit picks are always possible;
(Many of the statues shown at the end wernt stone :p)

But still, best epp of the season , and probably including last season too.

I hope they put the doctors talk as a easter egg on the real dvds

Hehe.

That was ace. Really, and I mean *really* freaked Tina out too. Utter genius idea never letting you see them actually move.

I wonder what happens if someone destroys one of those statues e.g. by blowing them up. I guess it wouldn't kill the beings.

I thought that the statues are like their "shadow" when light is on them. And didn't the Doctor say that they cause a lot of damage when they explode?

That was bloody marvellous that was. Stonking. A rip-snorting romp.

What Bog said.

Very intense!

And not a single use of the Sonic Screwdriver!
