Doctor Who!

I completely agree with this. Actually, Matt needs a really good villain.

I vote for Benedict Cumberbatch.

Re: Doctor Who!

This! It was an amazing performance, pretty sinister undertone to it. I'd like to see Matt Smith's Doctor face off against a villain like Jek.

I also loved the Jek character. If he'd survived, he would have been a great recurring villan. Gable's performance was amazing.

Re: Doctor Who!

Peri was annoying. The faux American accent and pervs going on about her cleavage....I didn't like the way the costume dept dressed her to accentuate things for the pervs...

Sharaz Jek was such an interesting character. In the book it describes his face as just lumpen flesh with scar tissue and just one eye left and a mouth hole. In the show it was so disappointing when they reveal his face finally and its a blink and you miss it moment...dead naff but the story was very dark. Every male character dies...very dark story too.

I loathed Peri too, but as I understand it, the accent was real. She has duel nationallity and was brought up in the US. But yes to the "lets dress her provocatively" thing. Bit sad.

Re: Doctor Who!

Aw, I liked both Nyssa and Adric, ... not Tegan so much. I quite liked Davidson (Davison?) but why did he deliver all his lines out of breath? It's something that's been brought up by fans for years.

It's Davison.

Well, actually it's Peter Moffet, but but he calls himself Davison...

Re: Doctor Who!

Nyssa was at least decorative. Tegan was just a nightmare.

Rabbits!

It's very true - if only the Cybermen had been a bit more trigger happy in Earthshock!

Re: Doctor Who!

The Caves of Androzani is amazing.

I always liked Peter Davidson, he had a really great quality about him - his run was also consistently pretty good quality. I think he was also the unluckiest Doctor when it came to companions - the android, whiny Nyssa and the less said about Adric the better!

Re: Doctor Who is 48 Today!

I love Doctor Who and always have since I was about 5! I used to get DW videos for my birthday when I was a kid, had a pretty great collection.

I like Matt Smith a lot, he's definitely got something of 'the Doctor' about him Series 5 kicked ***, series 6..not so much. But it'll be interesting to see where they go with the next series.

Loved Chris Eccleston too, but wasn't too keen on David Tennant (or a lot of RTD's writing).

They are good, but I prefer the Colin Baker audios. He has been allowed to do stuff he never got to do on-screen. Some of his audios are completely amazing. And Colin is a consumate audio actor!

Yeah, CB's audios really let him shine and Paul McGann has had some great ones, too! Loved Chimes of Midnight.

Re: Doctor Who!

I've not heard that before, but a TV archive in Cyprus was destroyed when the Turks occupied the north of the island in 1974.

It is thought that some episodes Dr Who were stored there.

Some others have been recovered from Cyprus, along with a lot of early Z Cars that was thought to have been lost forever.

Re: Doctor Who!

It's now emerged that until 1999 a TV station in Sierra Leone probably had all but one stories from the first three years of Doctor Who, which they bought back in the sixties. That includes close to thirty episodes still missing from the BBC archives. Then, they had a war and the entire archive was destroyed, as indeed was the television station. Bye bye missing sixties Doctor Who.

War. What is it good for? Absolutely nothin'.
