TheFlyingGerbil Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 The Beeb has found some lost Doctor Who episodes. There's a total of 106 missing episodes which is more than I realised I wonder if they are all out there somewhere, and whether they'll be found or not. Has anyone watched any of the very old episodes (e.g. the William Hartnell ones?) It's scary to think of all the socially and culturally important programming the BBC destroyed over the years. I assume that everything is kept nowadays, but I wonder when they started wit that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 That's good! It's crazy to think after all the money and hard work that went into each episode, they'd just wipe it and the episode would be gone forever but I guess storage space could be an issue..? Hopefully if there's anymore episodes out there, they'll get found and digitized soon, who knows how long those old tapes will survive if they're not kept in ideal conditions (and even then they'll start disintegrating at some point). I watched the first episode last year, there was very little resembling the resurrected show. Still, the idea the Doctor not only has children but grandchildren is interesting, hopefully that's touched upon in the 50th, since it seems like the 50th is going to deal with The Time War and the Doctor basically wiping his people (including his family) from existence.

deanb Posted October 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 All the money? Part of point of Doctor Who was to be quite cheap what with it just reusing period piece sets from other BBC shows. I don't think they ever foresaw celebrating it's half centenary at all in the future. And yeah storage was somewhat an issue, they now have large chunks of disused London Underground for storage, and plenty of film was wiped and re-used (film wasn't cheap back in the day).

TCP Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Is that a sonic screwdriver poking out of John Hurt's pocket? Or is he just happy to see me?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Movie poster for "An Adventure in Space and Time". They obviously quite enjoy doing this whole "movie poster" kind of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 http://www.doctorwho.tv/watch-the-day-of-the-doctor Should you wish to watch at a cinema. Though our local cinema it's £10 for adults which is like ...yeah my TV is good enough thankyou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Synopsis was released today: The Doctors embark on their greatest adventure in this 50th Anniversary Special: in 2013, something terrible is awakening in London's National Gallery; in 1562, a murderous plot is afoot in Elizabethan England; and somewhere in space an ancient battle reaches its devastating conclusion. All of reality is at stake as the Doctor's own dangerous past comes back to haunt him. Still no idea where the 10th + Rose and John Hurt's Doctors are coming from. ....UNLESS.... could the alternate dimension that Rose and clone 10th live in have it's own Doctor? Was this ever stated one way or another? Maybe that Doctor never regenerated past John Hurt. Or um.. I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Unless I'm missing something in some of the media released so far pretty sure John Hurt is The Time War reincarnation. So between McGann as 8th Doctor, and Eccleston as the 9th Doctor. In fact it would be implied almost immediately before the first episode of the new run; Rose. He is, as the 11th Doctor has implied, not a "The Doctor". Where Tennant will come into this all is unknown, same with if it's Meta-crisis or older out-of-time version.

TCP Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Yes, yes I know that, we've talked about that in this thread, what I'm wondering is how is he interacting with the 11th Doctor, unless he's just crossing his own time stream. I guess that's the easy way about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Oh right. Yeah crossing the time stream. Been done tons of times before. Even in the newer runs the 5th n 10th have had a bit of a chat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyGriever Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I can't stop watching these trailers! Man this wait is unbearable... Btw, is it me or Rose is having some Bad Wolf eyes in those trailers?!?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Yeah she's pretty Badwolf in the trailer. Given the nature of Bad Wolf she was/is "always" Bad Wolf. From our perspective she was only Bad Wolf for a shortwhile, but as shown already with Turn Left, she did way more than just pop the Tardis into the future and re-extinct the Daleks. It would make sense that she was around for the Time War too. I'd guess the red diamond device is "The Moment". And it has the marking for infinity on the side. It's going to be a fun watch. John Hurt man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted November 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 So the math was done and Moffat has written for 10 Doctors. A potential record 8th - Night of the Doctor War Doctor - Day of the Doctor 9th - The Doctor Dances & co 10th - Blink & co 11th - Most of the stuff 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th - Curse of Fatal Death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
