Doctor Who

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

The hybrid idea sounds interesting but not sure how they'd make it work if it was actually to appear in the series - as a humanoid with a particular flair for ruthlessness (and possibly an eyepatch) or maybe a Dalek shell with more of a Charles Rennie Mackintosh feel than is usual? The Daleks/Davros already seem to know almost as much about time travel etc as the Time Lords so just not entirely sure how it would develop. Could be interesting though. I still keep hoping for a series big bad to be Omega though

We've already had a human-timelord hybrid - Doctor Donna.[/QUOTE]

Isn't River Song some sort of hybrid between Amy Pond and the Matt Smith Doctor?

No, she's the daughter of Amy Pond and her bloke, and she's the wife of The Doctor.

River Song has regeneration powers because she was conceived in the TARDIS/Amy Pond had been exposed to the time stream via the TARDIS.

Damn strong start to the series I thought. The Doctor/Davros conversations and when Clara was inside the Dalek (nice little call back to Ian there) were beautifully written scenes. You can see why this was given two episodes, allows Moffat to breathe a little and give some space to the dialogue rather than zipping along at 100mph.

The 'only other chair on Galifrey'...oh Davros you witty, magnificent b*stard

Capaldi leaving? Or another lost episode found?

She's back?

Capaldi leaving? Or another lost episode found?

According to the official BBC Dr Who Twitter account, its positive news and HUGE (their capitalisation, not mine).

 

[Papa Lazarou]

A film?

 

[Norman Potting]

She's back?

Most definitely - see

A spin-off set in Coal Hill School - yawn

Is that so? Yawn indeed. Was hoping it would be torchwood related, had the potential to be great tv then died on its arse somewhat.

Seeing John Barrowan as Malcolm Merlyn in Arrow makes me realise what a good character Jack Harkness is (in an odd way)

In fact, HUGE yawn.

, anything else since has been garbage,

if you're british you should say rubbish. It's what sets us apart. And if you're not you should say rubbish regardless.

 

[Frutos]

Quite.

Very disappointing.

And now we have Davrosgate.

A bit of a fuss about Davros being able-bodied in the children in need mini-episode.

All well and good because it was set before Davros' accident in the timeline.

But Davies has done an interview about it no longer being acceptable that the villain is the guy in the wheelchair. It's a negative trope it seems.

So I suspect it looks like the legs will be back for Davros from now on in.

Good job he got a dose of timelord regeneration energy in his last appearance. Very lucky for the future scripts.

All a bit of a storm in a tardis souvenir cup to me but some are a bit hot under the collar about it. Oh for simpler times when no one felt the need to broadcast their rage to the world.

A Disney product now, so it will be sanitised, as they have done to Marvel and spoilt it.

I have been watching the old Dr Whos from the 60s on the iPlayer. I am beginning to warm to the animated ones with the original sound track. I was watching yesterday and though, hello, what's this? Calling @Papa Lazarou

I rewound and took a snap. This is from a Peter Troughton episode, with Jamie, and was the last episode with Victoria. It was about killer seaweed (terror of the deep or somesuch). The bit that caught my attention had nothing to do with the story. Spooky or what? So presuming this was in the original, the writers were sowing gingerbread trails (to mix metaphors) way back in the 60s. No wonder I couldn't follow the plot of the most recent but one televised episode
