The Doctor Who Thread

As an aside, I think for the 50th Anniversary series they should bring back the original opening and closing theme tune - awesome!




The new series version is appalling.

Those new series pics on Den of Geek make my heart sink.

Sorry i can't post the link, my right button click doesn't work in the posts for some reason.

I think it's safe to say that the Sontarans have joined the ranks of the Daleks and Silurians and have officially been ruined. I bet anyone who watched The Time Warrior when it was first broadcast would have never imagined that in 40 years time, there would be such a thing as a lactating, suit wearing Sontaran.



I actually hope that all the rumors about the return of the Ice Warriors are not true, no doubt they'll have massive breasts and be wearing dresses.

Oh god that's embarrassing.

I didn't really like RTD's approach to the series, but there's no question his reinvention of the old monsters were terrific. Moffatt just seems to be taking the piss.

Already agreed are the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant), the Eighth (Paul McGann), Fifth (Peter Davison), and the Seventh (Sylvester McCoy). It is presumed that the Sixth Doctor (Colin Baker) will be more than willing to give it a go. Even the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) has stated ""I think if they ask me nicely or I can see what they want me to do, I'd consider it. I think the fans have been so good to me, they'd expect me to at least make an appearance.""

However, the Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) has already made it clear that he will not be returning

There seems to be a bit of confusion about this now

Colin has said that he will not be appearing, and that he doesn't think a reunion story will happen

Meanwhile, Paul has said that he knows nothing about a reunion story, and hasn't been invited

More hype from the production team to build up interest, or a genuine fact? Only time will tell, I suppose!
