Knight26 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 The DW books brought her out of E-Space, whether those are canon or not is up for debate. Also the woman in End of Time was suppossed to be his mother IIRC. Of course bringing back Romana would have an interesting side effect, with the Doctor married to River, and Romana the last female timelord, how would the doctor react, repopulate his race with Romana or stay faithful to River?

Hikuro Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 See that's where I don't feel like that was his mother. I don't think outside of Susan we've ever met another family member so how could that work? This woman just shouted Ramona to me and made ton more sense.

Knight26 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I agree Hikuro, but apparently RTD wrote her as his mother, and the other one kneeling with eyes covered as his father, and that is what they were called in the script, my guess some line was cut explaining who she was.

camk4evr Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I had heard that RTD had said that Romana was the Lord President of Galifrey during the Time War.That was before The End of Time, however, so we can probably assume that that has changed.

F-ZeroOne Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I'm gonna call it - it won't be any of the names all the tabloids here have been speculating about. It will be someone largely unknown to the general public, though possibly someone who has been critically acclaimed for theatre or T.V. work but who - Who? - has so far escaped widespread notice. You know, like the last three Doctors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) Whoever it is, hopefully they're good. I've been able to appreciate each of the three new Doctors since Eccleston and I hope they can keep the streak up.

F-ZeroOne Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 You know one name I'm amazed hasn't come up is Benedict Cumberbatch (who I've long suspected must have been considered during previous rounds). I know his profile is much, much higher now but then the same could be said for Idris Elba. Everyone seems to be hoping for Peter Capaldi, from the satrical comedy "The Thick Of It" - mostly because, rather childishly, we Brits want the Doctor to have, ahem, a way with words like Capaldis character Malcolm Tucker from that series... [1] [1] Tucker swears. A lot. But its not just the words, no-one can string a sweary sentence together like Malcom Tucker... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-ZeroOne Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) Well, what the hell do I know? Its: Peter Capaldi . Initial impression is getting a slight Pertwee/Baker (T) vibe, but then they've only been in the job five minutes...

Noriko Takaya Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I like how you can say that before anything is filmed, etc. Clairvoyant eh? Yep. I said the same thing about Smith's Doctor. I may be disappointed, but it will not stop me watching. Been a Whovian since I saw my first serial in 1977 and will continue to the end. However, I have never seen a jump the shark for Doctor Who image so I made one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vepariga Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I guess this confirms John Hurt as the 9th Doctor or a part of the 9th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I'm looking forward to Capaldi. And the new story arc with John Hurt is intriguing. Since Moffat seems more inclined on connecting the new show with content from classic episodes, I find myself wondering about Hurt's in-between character. Will he be a later regeneration of the Valeyard? The Great Intelligence mentions that aspect of the Doctor in The Name of the Doctor. I guess he could be another dark personality or something brand new. It will be exciting to see what the new show does with this idea.

big F Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Those that saw the BBc presentation on Saturday did anyone notice that the previous Doctors on the show ( Peter Davidson and Colin Baker) both appeared in Who as someone else before getting cast as the Doctor, just like Peter Capaldi, deliberate or just chance ?? I saw this connection before they actually shoved him on stag I'm guessing that part of it was just luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 ^^ I remember Colin Baker in Arc of Infinity. He also made an appearance on Blake's 7. I think both B7 and DW shared a pool of acting talent at the time since Terry Nation was involved with both programs. I missed what Peter Davison did beforehand, but I always thought Arc of Infinity was one of the better Davison episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marzan Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Malcolm Tucker is the new Dr. Who? I cannot imagine Dr. Who saying something like "Why don't you l**k my sw**ty b***s you f*t f**k!" but I guess that times can and do change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

technoblue Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/106-doctor-who-episodes-uncovered-2343474 Is this another silly rumor or a potential holy grail for fans of the classic series? If it is a holy grail, the BBC is being pretty mum about it, because they have kept the Classic Doctor Who DVD release schedule intact.

F-ZeroOne Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 The BBC also announced an improved iPlayer and various upcoming digital TV projects (unrelated to Who) today; I suspect some wires have gotten crossed at the media over what the "big" announcement today would be, but at least it looks like theres at least some truth to the rumours...
