The Doctor Who Thread

[Susan Foreman]

Doctor Who will return for Season 9 in 2015, following a Christmas special in December 2014.

Jenna Coleman: “They start filming [Season 9] in January.”

Peter Capaldi: “…we’re starting to have conversations about next year and I’m like ‘There are some amazing things coming along there!’ – Steven is telling me and I’m like, ‘Wow! Yeah!’ We’ve got some great ideas coming for 2015.”

Mark Gatiss: “…I do have a preference for historical stories. But I would love to do one set in the future. ”

Steven Moffat: “[The return of River Song will] now be story-driven. If we’ve got an idea that she fits perfectly then there’s no reason why we can’t do it, but I quite liked where we got to at the end of ‘The Name of the Doctor’, with him saying goodbye to her. So we’ll see.”

Neil Gaiman: “…I haven’t done an episode set on Earth yet, and I haven’t created a new monster. So there are boxes left to tick. And there’s part of me that feels… I haven’t scared anybody yet. I’d love to do something that sends adults behind the sofa too and makes them wee. Pools of wee.”

Great to see Nick Frost has been confirmed for the Christmas special...and Michael Troughton.

These two complete my Doctor Who classic dvd range.

I don't intend to get Shalka and Shada (Which i still have on vhs with the script book). But i suppose one day i'll have to buy The Aztecs again to get the episode of Galaxy Four that was added as an extra.

Welcome to an exclusive club

I joined it in Sept 2013, when I got the Zygon DVD on the release date

I have the three Revisitations box sets, so I have the original releases and also the special editions

In addition to those, I also have the Shalka and Shada things (along with The Infinite Quest and Dreamland to complete the animated releases

Oh, and I have the four seasons of Torchwood in my collection as well

Not forgetting the five seasons of Sarah-Jane Adventures, which look nice in the bookcase

Peter Cushing movies? Got them both!

Nu-Who? Yep. The complete collection, from Rose to The Time Of The Doctor!

Sometimes I wish I wasn't such a girly geek!!!!

Tsk!

Of course I have them, but I didn't think it was worth mentioning until the proper 'special editions' are released - with lots of extra features, commentaries and the true missing episodes instead of the animated ones!!!*

But before you ask, no - I haven't got the 'Deep Breath' release. However, I do have the complete season 8 set on pre-order!

*No - I do not have insider information. I am just hoping

Next weeks episode (Sat 27th Sept) is a very late one

It has a start time of 8:30pm!

Well I guess I'm also in the club as I have the very same things you have listed Suzi, as well as complete series of many other classics such as Blakes 7, Tripods, Saphire & Steel etc... only problem now is finding time to watch them all

Enjoyed Time Heist, despite a really good creature the story wasn't especially gripping, enjoyable whilst on screen but i'm not sure about it's rewatch value.

I was expecting the TARDIS to be in the private vault, and was hoping the architect was the Great Architect from Paradise Towers and he'd designed another building.

Steve Thompson's best story to date but that wouldn't be hard seeing as his other two were the fun but lightweight Curse of the Black Spot and the truly awful Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS.

God! Wasn't that the bloody awful one with Bertie Basset as the bad guy? Couldn't stand Sylvester McCoy to begin with but after that episode I stopped watching altogether!
