This isn't just an attempt to test Babbzilla's Dr Who web alert - The trailers have started. Dr Who is coming in the next couple of weeks to the BBC (and possibly bit torrent sites)!
I've seen Martha Jones (covered in Slime) - Yay!
Catherine Tate as Donna (Boo!)
Rose Tyler (Eh?)
And something that looks like a Sontarian from the Fourth Doctor's time.
I can't wait!

The Sontarians are confirmed - the Beeb and Youtube have trailers... but I don't know if they are UK only. The Sontarians look really short.
Who said David is going anywhere? Oh yeah, Catherine Tate did - still what does she know? David has already rebuffed that.. but there again, Ecclescake did the same during his first/last season.
I really want them to do a Five Doctors special like they did in the past. It would be so cool. Actually, if they got all the doctors who are still alive, it would be six - Seven if you include Paul McGann.
Ironically, Capt Jack is currently involved in a TV program called "I'd Do Anything." How true.
Dr Who
OMG!!! YES YES YES! I just managed to see the trailer!! I looove David Tennant! Him and Catherine Tate will be a pretty good team! Donna cracked me up in Runaway Bride.
But my favorite will always be Billie Piper. Martha was okay but I was kinda mad when she left. I screamed out "YOU TRAITOR! SCREW YOUR FAMMILY THIS IS THE DOCTOR!" Now she covered in slime... hahaha! That's what ya get! I don't know why I'm talking like this, I liked Martha, still do, she was cool!
I liked Time Clash where it had like the 5th Doctor and David Tennant. That was genius. And funny!
Donna's got some biiiig shoes to fill but I think she can do it. When does it coem back on!?!?! I thought it was to premire on easter!
...I want my Doctor.
Dr Who
You'da thunk it would be Easter, but it wasn't. It was today.
It was.....interesting. It made me chuckle a few times.
The show rightly doesn't take itself too seriously, but I hope Donna isn't Chris Tucker to the Doctor's Jackie Chan. I will (try to) hold back judgement on Donna for the time being, tho.
Dr Who
Three episodes in and I am starting to warm to Catherine Tate's character. She was a lot less shouty this time round and the writers (and Catherine) seem to be developing Donna from a comedy caricature into a human. That said, she still slips into her sketch show characters, but I think that's unavoidable given how varied and recognizable they are.
Dr Who
I've been watching it too and I'm lovin Catherine's character. I'm loving this season!!!!!
Omg I creid sooo bad in episode two Fires of Pompeii. Poor Doctor.
Dr Who
.... This season is sooo gonna rock! But I have a feeling in the pit of me tummy..... that my David Tennant isn't gonna come back for a 5th season.
"Every song must end." I'm sooo gonna cry if that happens! I think I'm gonna cry a lot this season. AND when they show Billie Piper again! Oh my gawd!
They're gonna show her, she's gonna have to leave again, I'm gonna cry, The Doctor is finally gonna say what he was suppose to say at the end of season 2(Which is "Rose Tyler, I love you"), I'm gonna bawl, it'll be soo much fun.
Dr Who
Ssshhhh! It's about to start.
Dr Who
As the seasons of the new Dr Who progress, I can't help but think what a gloomy outlook/opinion Russell T Davies and his writers have of mankind. Mankind has been shown to exist from this point on until the end of the universe - something wonderful, extraordinary and quite unlikely. Yet, it doesn't come across that way.
If we start at the beginning - the present - mankind seems to be split in to people with closed minds and people with open minds. Open minds are the Donna Nobles, the Martha Joneses and the Rose Tylers, who are open to and accepting of the existence of a world that is bigger than their immediate vicinity. The open minds are hugely out numbered though. The closed minds do not accept anything outside their common perception of reality and appear to make up the vast majority of the population. The closed minds treat anything alien (literally) with fear and aggression. This is demonstrated time and time again in Dr Who and the spin-off Torchwood. Mankind apparently isn't ready. What is also slightly bizarre is that the open-minded react in star stuck awe when the blinkers are removed to such an extent that you wonder what they aren't showing the viewers.
In some ways, it seems we haven't progressed from the old black and white Sci-Fi films, where aliens were routinely greeted by Earth's military, women screamed at anything and everything and a slow walking man in a rubber suit was faster than an unencumbered running man.
So anyway, that's our starting point - a race of fragile beings with fragile minds. Powerless, easily controlled and on the edge of nervous breakdown and hysteria.
Mankind progresses. We take to the stars. We "dance" with alien life. We form empires of man. But still, we are not masters of our own destiny. "The Long Game" provides a good example of this, where the whole human empire is in actuality controlled by the Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe (who is really a Dalek puppet) in the 2001st century. Once again, the Doctor steps in a saves the day, which is what he does and frankly, it wouldn't be much of a program if he didn't. I appreciate that civilizations wax and wane, but in 1 million, nine hundred and ninety eight thousand and nine hundred and ninety three years, do you really think we will be eating burgers, and watching tv? Especially when you consider that Captain Jack is a time agent from the 51st Century. Once a species is powerful and has the ability to time travel, wouldn't you protect your own timeline - even to the point of avoiding those peaks a troughs that civilisations suffer?
And then we get to the end of time, the end of space and the end of the universe. Mankind is still going - unbelievable really, that the humans we see there are just like the humans we see here and now. But that is besides the point. Mankind is brought down to hiding in the dark, trying to find away to Eden - a special human project to escape the end of the universe. Once again, we are incapable of doing this by ourselves and require not just the Doctor's help, but the Master's also, to herd us on our way. So even at the end, we are powerless, easily controlled and probably also on the edge of a nervous breakdown too.
And that is kind of my point - we exist, but we don't really seem to get anywhere. We are cattle or sheep existing by the grace of the Doctor.
But these are only my thoughts....
Dr Who
That's awesome... beautiful... true. Kudos.
I've not seen the new season, but I've noticed that the Doctor seems to hold a sort of reverence for the people of the past. You know like in the Eccleston season he had a hero-worship for Charles Dickens, and later he showed such kindness towards everyone BUT Captain Jack in the Empty Child/Doctor Dances...
I never thought of it until now, but the people of today and tomorrow were such irritations to him in comparison. Especially Adam. :roll: Adam.
Dr Who
AND THAT'S WHY DAVID TENNANT IS THE ONLY MAN I'D QUIT THE AIR FORCE FOR!!!!!!!
And... The tenth (DT) Doctor doesn't really hate Jack, but is more prejudice.... but is still kind to him... The ninth (CE) doctor... seemed kinda angry-ish... to me.
David tennant is hyper and goes a mile a minute.... I love him... <3
Heheheh
Dr Who
Okay stop reading now if you haven;'t seen the episode Doctors Daughter.
But if you have..Wow!!!!
Firstly, Donna didn't annoy me at all for the whole episode, which must be worth some sort of celebration.
Secondly, the whole thing about the doctor being the last timelord was untennable - every fule kno that timelords only have thirteen rejenerations in them and that David Tennant is number 10...
Thirdly, Jennny was born to be a timelord - her real life dad was Dr Who number 5!
The roumour mill isn't so much that David is leaving, but that he is taking a break for a year. Could Jenny run with the show for a year? With that smile and those talents?
Dr Who
I have seen all doctor Who and if you haven't then it sucks to be you because it is awesome.
Doctor Who next season
So glad to see I am not the only Whovian on this board. I'm proud/ashamed to say I have a Dalek, Cyberman and Tennant Doctor action figure on my desk at work, along with the requisite TARDIS.
Anyway, I am a little bummed that the next season is so far off. Also that next season is not a proper season at all, but rather four "specials." To tide me over, I've been slowly, but surely, working back through the classic series, and so far have made it about 2/3 of the way through the William Hartnell era. Fortunately, my wife is as dorky and Anglophilic as I am, so I don't need to watch alone. :)
But back to next season -- any guesses about a new companion? I'm guessing Rose, Martha and Donna are right out, but maybe the Doctor's daughter will make a return?

Dr Who
With Russell T Davies' departure and the installation of Steven "Are you my mummy?" Moffat as head writer, I think all bets are off for the next 5 episodes. Scarier and more grown up stories are distinct possibilities. I reckon we've seen the last of Captain Jack.
Apparently a movie might be on the cards as David is desperate to do more films but Dr Who takes up so much of his time. It could kill two birds, but I'm not sure how that works out for David - could lead to being typecast.
That or they need to figure out how to do more with less time. Maybe do alternating stories between the the doctor and his daughter and a joint episode at the end of the season?
As for the companion... We had Billie (well known over here at the time), then Agyma (then unknown), then Catherine Tate (well known again), so I reckon a relatively obscure actor/ress this time.
There is something to be said for the very old episodes of Dr Who - Like the first time you see the cybermen, they are basically wearing every metallic implement from the kitchen. As a kid that is a very do-able costume. Depending on your mum, maybe more than once!
Dr Who
Ah yes, I forgot that Moffat was taking the helm. Welcome news, IMHO, as I have found his stories to be the best of the new series so far (The Empty Child, The Girl in the Fireplace and Blink, especially).
No offense to Mr. Davies, but I do feel like his contributions have tended a bit too much toward camp at times. Also, no tears shed if Captain Jack goes AWOL -- I do like Torchwood, but feel that his character is a major distraction on Doctor Who.
I can see why David Tennant might want to be cautious about being typecast, but I really do feel like has become the finest Doctor we've had since Tom Baker -- so why not just embrace it?
Dr Who
Blink is by far my favourite episode.
You may not kno, but Davies sprung to fame as the creator of the TV series Queer as Folk, which is a pun on the Yorkshire phrase about how odd people can be and the leanings of the male cast. So, I don't think the campness was accidental.
David has been starring in Hamlet with Patrick Stewart and the RSC. The theatre banned Whovians seeking autographs. Then they had to ban Trekkies so there was no status issues between Patrick and David!
Dr Who
Aw crap, it's official -- David Tennant is leaving Doctor Who after the 2009 season (and it's not even a proper season).
http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/s4/news/081029_news_04
So, I wonder who the next Doctor will be?
Dr Who
Be strong Babbzilla!
The BBC and bookies are already taking bets on the next Dr. Personally, I don't think much of the options so far - although I've always enjoyed Sean Pertwee's performances.
Next month another random set of actors will be drawn from the hat.
Dr Who
Wow, Paterson Joseph from Peep Show as the new Doctor? That would be something else (although I would have to fight the urge to refer to him as Johnson)! Of course, David Mitchell would make a pretty hilarious Time Lord himself.
I've heard Steven Moffat wants an older, more experienced actor for the role, so we may see a major change in direction regardless.
Dr Who
SPOILER ALERT

Dr Who
Wow. Just...wow.
Christmas can't come soon enough. :)
Dr Who
There's a new series come out on Sunday, called Survivors based on a book by Terry Nation (of Dalek creation and Dr Who writing fame). The first episode was pretty good, it's kinda Lost meets 28 Days Later.
Our stuff never looks quite as good as American TV production wise, but the episode was all substance and no padding (i.e. the de riggueur music video where Clark/Dawson/House/et al look forlornly out the window at the rain to what sounds like a Coldplay song). They managed some amazing empty street scenes too.
The Dr Who connections don't stop with Terry - Agyma Freeman has a credit too. The next episode is tomorrow - I might have an update then!
Dr Who
Smashing! I sure hope we here in the States don't have to wait too long for BBC America or SciFi Network to pick this show up.
