The [very cool] doctor who thread

I'll say it.
Paul McGann was a great Doctor. It was wrong to cancel the show after the pilot.

So.. two weeks before the 50th. Can't believe it's coming up so quickly.

Anyone else excited?

Anyone else like me without cable or satellite TV wondering how the hell you're going to watch it? lol

I'm pissed.

that's on opening day.

i won't get to watch it until probably thanksgiving.

They're showing it simultaneously in selected Uk cinemas in 3D.

Guess who's got tickets? :-D

The Hola plug-in for Firefox. You can watch region restricted live TV. It will be on BBC's iplayer live.

Edit: Guys, anyone using Hola, I recommend QI. It's a humorous faux quiz show with Stephen Fry......Gotta love Stephen Fry!

They're also showing the 50th simultaneously in very select theaters in the US, then in more two nights later... Of course, it looks like I'm also going to a football game that weekend, so my time is kind of tapped out to make it down to NYC for the simultaneous showing, but maybe I'll make one of the local showings on Monday night.

I recommend "Kingdom."
To keep this post on topic, I especially recommend episode 3.2.
I saw it on Netflix streaming.

I took the day off from work to watch, wife is planning a whole Dr.Who themed spread of deliciousness with tasty beverages. Cant wait was late to finish this last season and have been itching for my fix.

FYI I am a doctor Who Fan, and have almost every episode made, I believe there were some lost in a fire at bbc.

They just found some lost episodes in Nigeria.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-24467337


SWMBO and I are re-watching Series 7... Episode 5 is still devastatingly heart-wrenching.

I bet they were sent there as partial down payment for a large sum of money to be transferred to their account


FYI - I am having a SS Plate engraved with

T.A.R.D.I.S. - C.E. // for Christopher Eccleston my first doctor

So the official trailer was leaked, so the BBC had no choice but release it early...

Smith and Tennant and Coleman and Piper on the same screen. Yeah, I wanna squee.

Thanks for this! I hadn't heard of Hola, but I just installed it on Chrome and I can watch iPlayer now. Awesome!

Awesome, indeed it is! (get out of my head Yoda)

Anyone wanting to watch the good doctor at it's earliest screenings, thoroughly I recommend it. (Yoda, please, now just **** off)

Edit:- It's on chrome too? Well, who woulda thunk it!!

Awesome! I remember watching the Yeti episodes as a young kid. A lot of BBC episodes of all kinds of series were lost in the 60's simply because tape was expensive, and they would record new stuff over the old......These days, we would call that moronic.

HOLA plugin on chrome..... all I can say is Bloody Brilliant!


Check out a show called Dracula 2013 and Atlantis 2013.... Did not even know they existed watching now.

<3

Another trailer.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01lb74r

Yeah...It really is the little things that are important. True!! :cross:

It looks like the next season doesn't start until August 2014. All we have this year is the 50th Anniversary special and the Christmas special.

I know it sucks bad. This is the show I look forward to all year.

All you BBC iPlayer watchers check out the exclusive mini episode on there called "Night of the Doctor"- 7 minutes of back story linking the last episode and the 50th anniversary episode next Saturday.

Nevermind.. fixed it!

Was really nice to see Paul McGann in action again.. it is a shame he didn't get a good multi-year run.

"I'm a doctor, but probably not the one you were expecting"

Also just watching The Science of Doctor Who with Professor Brian Cox. Fascinating stuff and its also on iPlayer. I love the BBC's educational output.

So my kid is apparently inviting a couple of friends to come over. Plus, the niece and nephew are coming over to watch. I think there may be a couple more coming over.

So I guess I better make a TARDIS CAKE for this party! And I'm betting there will be fish fingers and custard for snacking on...

Talking of cakes, going to try making this one instead of a Christmas cake this year. http://www.lakeland.co.uk/18036/Dalek-Cake-Mould

I saw that and it looks awesome! I was looking for an actual TARDIS cake pan but there doesn't seen to be any. I've seen a 2-piece mold for a veyr small cake (or chocolate or whatehaveyou) but I think a regular rectangular cake painted like the front of the TARDIS will have to suffice.

But it begs the question: Why isn't there a TARDIS cake pan to be had?? Someone needs to go back in time and design one of these so I can order one in time for the party...

Not very large cake but thinkgeek is the ish for your whovian needs.

Anyone else going to see the 50th anniversary episode in 3D next week?

Yep, those are cool, but not big enough. I like that they make a stand up 3D cake, rather than a plain rectangular cake.

But how often am I going to make a TARDIS cake?? In another 50 years my kids could use it...

Another prequel http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=...top_uri=/watch?v=Eem2Ehq_xBI&feature=youtu.be is this the equivalent of Archduke Ferdinand's assassination for The Time War?

Is this live broadcast going well vote yea or no haha. My wife wants to strangle this host.

Do we have any idea when the 50th will be available on the BBC's iPlayer? It says "Available soon after"...

Found a pirate feed... and watched it. And still have goosebumps.

Holy sh*t.

Wow.

So impressed with the story line and tying in all the doctors. Wife and I didn't say a word or move the whole show.

Well I just pop'd a 2 year old 3 gallon batch of lambic for this... and am looking forward to watching.

lambic will be for mixing, but funkky sour goodness

Wow, just back from the 3d screening. Those Tardis are HUGE inside!

So many great lines and references, but I think my favourite has to be the opening scene starting exactly where we first met the Doctor in 1963. Nice touch.
