Accounting Troll Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Well, the Anne-Droid wasn't quite as nasty as the real thing The depressing thing is that after that Dr Who script was written, some television executive came up with an idea called 'Celebrity Shark Bait'. And ITVs summer 'highlight' is Celebrity Love Island. Oh, and Big Brother is back. Don't worry, I'm a keen astronomer and I'll spot any Dalek invasion fleets massing on the edge of our solar system.

Stun Grenade Posted June 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Are the Darleks in the new series? And apparently the New Dr.Who has left .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dezerin Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Yea ive heard that Chris Ecclescake is leaving he was worried about being type cast and the new guy is going to be David Tennant I think, who played the Lead role in Cassanova that was on a few months back. I liked him in it so ive got hope in him doing a decent job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 I'd prefer to be a type-cast actor. That means people have actually bothered to watch whatever it was that you were in. Take Hugo Weaving, for example. You expect him to spit out a 'Mr Anderson' at any given point, but do you consider that a bad thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 I'm convinced that he doesn't mind either way As for Chris Ecclescake... err... home many more times is it that Dr Who can regenerate with a new body before he finally dies for good? Perhaps the Tardis will regress him back into an egg form (or soemthing.. it did that to the nasty woman last week) and he'll get all his lives back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accounting Troll Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 The number of regenerations a Time Lord gets is directly proportional to the number of people who think they can make pots of mony out of Doctor Who. As it was one of the few ratings sucesses the BBC has had in recent years, the Doctor will get a few more regenerations yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 They can't keep doing it though! He's got a set limit or something... I could have sworin it was nine, though I may be out by a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accounting Troll Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 They can get round that by saying that the other Time Lords gave the Doctor a couple of extra regenerations in return for services rendered. I've got an idea that the scriptwriters once did that with the Master because they didn't like to permanantly kill him off and he was getting fed up with hijacking other people's bodies.

Dezerin Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Ive been reliably informed by my anorak wearing Dr Who super fan friend that he can regenerate officially 13 times. That he's almost given away his real name but not quite but did give away his nickname at university which was sigma alpha. If anyone can think of a good question I can stump him with let me know. Oh and I think he said that David Tennant will be in a Xmas special as the new Dr and he will be the tenth doctor, but due to my new daughter I only got 2 hours sleep last night so im not sure if i got that last bit right.

Stun Grenade Posted June 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 My neighbour said around 11-13, can't remember the exact number. But did you notice the Dr. say,"oh, i like how they've done my ears this time.." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Kyth Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 I wonder if they'll bring back Tom Baker as the doctor. He was in the early series and is still live, kicking, and less than mentally stable, Doctor Who style. (He's perfectly sane, but he's really good at being eccentric) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accounting Troll Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 I like the way they reshot the ending to introduce the new Doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 It originally was supposed to be 13 regenerations. But, there were occasional hints that extreme need or special dispensation or some such could reset the cycle for another 13. I think it was in Trial of a Timelord, the Valeyard, an evil version of the doctor was supposed to be on his twenty-sixth regeneration or some such. Maybe the evil doctor Valeyard was in such a crappy mood because he was at the last of his second round of thirteen and not likely to be given another dispensation? Rules change as the needs and the money dictate. You were also getting the feeling from the seventh doctor, that he was a contemporary of Raselon and Omega and all of the founders of the Time Lord Society, which kind of makes you think that he had a former life as a full Time Lord, before he became half human and half Time Lord which he is supposed to be during the current set of 13 lives. So, he probably had 13 lives to get from the dawn of Time Lord society to current times, and had another 13 lives after the current 13 in order to become the Valeyard in Trial of a Time Lord, and then Who knows what comes after that?
