The Doctor Who Thread

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

I don't particularly like the design of the new Dalek however i won't judge until i've seen it on screen.

I didn't like the Paradigm Daleks at all until i saw them in the arena show and then i loved them.

The junkyard Dalek from Resolution was good but this new design seems like a variation on that made up scrap Dalek which really doesn't make sense.

"It has been confirmed by Chris Chibnall that Bradley Walsh and Tosin Cole will be leaving Doctor Who in this year’s festive special, ‘Revolution of the Daleks’."

It won’t just be Captain Jack making a return, Chris Noth will also reprise his role as villainous businessman Jack Robertson from Series 11 episode “Arachnids in the UK”.

The other piece of major casting is confirmation that Dame Harriet Walter will be guest starring.

Finally, “Revolution of the Daleks” is a 70-minute special.

Pity Whitaker and Gill aren't leaving as well.

I thought they just confirmed Walsh for the next season a fortnight ago?
Talk about wishy-washy.

Daleks! Episode 3.

Reminding us of things we remember as a strategy can backfire if incorrectly handled (like that teaser ahem). It feels like pandering, though the choice is unique ... I'll give them that.
Am kind of hooked on this now, it's an odd situation for the pepperpots to be in, so am genuinely interested in what's coming next, as long as it's not, you know, HIM in the wheelchair cough. Ahem.

I have never seen Dr. Who before. Saw some clips on Youtube, looks good. Which series is the best one to watch?
