See? Told you.

Absolutely perfect for the role.


His face is already the right kind of "triangular" shape. Whiten his face, greenify his hair, add on a small prosthetic to make his nose more pointy, pin back his jug ears and then a very slight elongation of his chin into that exaggerated comic book "pointy chin" with CGI or make-up.


Before:

After:

Genuinely, 90% of that "after" image is just changing the colours and the very slightest touch of stretching his chin and nose into a point.

If I can do that with a shit paint program in five minutes then Hollywood could make him look identical to the comic book Joker. No problems.


Chris Eccleston is the Joker.

No, really, he is.

Or, at least, he really, really should be. :lol: :D


p.s. the more I look at the two, the more I'm convinced he actually looks more evil in the "before" than the "after" picture. :wink:

"Destroyed"? One of Mickey's main reasons for staying was that there are still thousands of Cybermen on the planet. And do you think a fall of a few dozen feet into a bit of fire would be enough to kill an ordinary Cyberman, let alone the Controller? And did nobody notice that streak of light in the sky? ;)
I didn't notice the streak of light in the sky.So i watched the end of the episode again.But then it does appear right at the end,sensing the end of the episode was near,i must of been distracted by hitting the stop button before the spoilers.I thought maybe the streak was supposed to be the tardis travelling away and a reference back to Mickey's tearfull goodbye to Rose.When he says "who would of thought me and you........flying through the stars".But then maybe Lumic did survive and he is in some superadvanced spaceship,pursuing the tardis and/or just escaping through the crack in space, so leaving a trail in the sky.Or ?????

So wet he needed new trousers.

Still, was probably the best thing on at Xmas all the same.

I suspect that these questions will be answered in a month or so ;)

Utter cack.

It was Original Series Star Trek with christmas trees and a rather weak anti war message tacked on.

Actually the Christmas special was very good, more so on second viewing. It was certainly 82,000 times better than the Cybermen episodes.

Oh yeah, certainly a very long way from being the worst episode. Still didn't do a lot though, at least for me.

Rise of the Cybermen final ratings (From Outpost Gallifrey)
The official audience ratings for Rise of the Cybermen today show a consolidated figure of 9.22 million viwers (including timeshifted viewings), up 0.6 million from the unofficial overnight figure of 8.6 million. The episode was BBC One's second most-watched programme of the week, behind only one edition of EastEnders, and is at number 6 in the chart of the week's highest-rating programmes, the series highest placing since its return last year. It is also Doctor Who's highest chart position since an episode of The Ark in Space reached number 5 in 1975.
It should be interesting to see the final ratings for Age of Steel especially considering how they fucked with the time for Eurovision.

Looks like the Doctor is trying to fit in to 50s England in the next episode. His hair is anyway
