Dr Who
 

CBC will be showing the new Dr Who series starting on April 5th at 8pm (don't know what time zone that is)

Anyone care to explain why they dressed the Doctor as a trendy geography teacher?

Re: Dr Who
 

The first episode has leaked onto the net and had some VERY POOR reviews but I DON'T CARE, I'm going too watch it anyway.

Re: Dr Who
 

I've heard a CBC affiliate leaked the first episode ... don't know why, since almost nobody here has heard of it.

Whatever they do, the new Doctor can't be as bad as Sylvester McCoy.

My personal faves: Jon Pertwee or Peter Davison ...

It's Dr Who ... I haven't come to expect gripping story lines or great special effects ... it's a Brit thing ... I'm compelled to watch ... I must obey.

Do they show Doctor Who in Canada, my favourite was late Jon Pertwee show seemed to go down after him made the character to comic. Have just had to sell my Doctor Who Pinball table in preparation for emigrating. There were clips on the BBC this morning and it looked great everybody at the advance showing seemed to love it

Oh hallelujah!!! I have a thing for John Barrowman ( http://www.barrowmanonline.com/ for those who haven't heard of him ) and his character doesn't appear until episodes 11 and 12, by which time we'll be in Canada. I'm not going to miss them now, yahoo!!!!! :D :D :D

Padrew OUT COME ON YOU RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSS

Re: Dr Who
 

Yeah, McCoy was the worst although to my mind the rot set in with Davison.

Pertwee and Baker the best for me although I do like a bit of Troughton once in a while.

I actually liked Paul McGann as the Doctor, the movie sucked but he was good.

If you have digital cable or a satellite dish, you can watch Dr. Who every evening on BBC Kids. The only reason I subscribe to it is for Dr. Who, Black Adder, Red Dwarf, and My Hero which all come on late in the evening when the kids should be asleep.

Re: Dr Who
 

For a kids channel, they certainly show some good stuff late in the evening ....

Re: Dr Who
 

Not bad at all! I could think of worste reasons to watch it!!! ;)

Re: Dr Who
 

Huh? Who is Dr. Who? Never heard of it... :confused: Must be a UK show??

Re: Dr Who
 

Imagine a time travelling Brit eccentric who is constantly fighting monsters made out of bubble wrap, chicken wire and assorted kitchen utensils stuck onto a shopping cart ... the special effects usually looked like they were the result of a hard mornings work for a Kindergarden class.

Dr Who had cyborgs who wanted to assimilate all of humanity decades before the Borg had even been thought of.

The coolest TV baddie ever ad to be the Master as played by the late Richard Delgado ... the Doctor's nemesis ... he had the snear to beat all snears ... I remember one storyline where he masqueraded as a Vicar (an Anglican pastor) and conducted Satanic rituals in a church basement ... now that's what I call kid's TV.

Classic Brit TV ... if you have BBC kids it's on some time after midnight.

Otherwise go to the BBC website ... you'll find clips in the cult TV section.

Christopher Eccleston has quit the role of Doctor Who after filming one series, saying he fears being typecast, leaving the show's title role vacant.
As the BBC confirmed it would film another series of the popular show, a number of actors have been suggested to play television's 10th Doctor.

Here are some of the actors tipped by TV pundits, fans and bookmakers to take the role.

David Tennant
Alan Davies
Bill Nighy
Richard E Grant
David Thewlis

----

Any of the last three would be OK with me.

I can understand why Eccelston quit but it's really annoyed me.
Doctor Who is something special and you carry a certain responsibility when you take the job, there's history there and if you can't see that and treat it with the respect it deserves, you shouldn't apply for the job.

Actually, I'm really p_ssed off by this.
