Brilliant episode tonight. Loved it.

I haven’t watched Dr Who in years but caught the last twenty minutes tonight -

 

David Tennant?!!

Yes!!

Was in the pub the other night with a really friendly Dalek, said he was from Devon, I asked whereabouts, he said Exeter mate, Exeter mate

The BBC have released all surviving episodes of the classic series (aside from the very first story due to contractual issues) onto iPlayer.

Tremendous.

And yes, I've started the binge watch of all binge watches and am currently watching The Dead Planet from 1963.

Does Mrs Langers want me to come over and paint something so she can watch that dry rather than endure a Doctor Who marathon ?

Fortunately we have more than 1 room in our house

Not long now, David Tennant is my favourite Doctor - very much looking forward to this, even when I'd rather not have Catherine Tate

Doctor Who: The TARDIS is set to return to Saturday nights, landing at the heart(s) of the BBC One Schedule

Get set for three epic adventures, starting with The Star Beast on 25 November

Tom Baker remains my favourite, and by some way too.

Matt Smith has been the best 'modern' Doctor - though it's good to have Tennant back, and hopefully with Russell T Davies back in charge of the show, it can be revitalised as the Chris Chibnall era was incredibly disappointing.

Also cannot wait to see Ncuti Gatwa in the lead role - I think he's going to be amazing

 

[Langers]

My current order - from favourite to least favourite

Baker T
Smith
Ecclestone
Pertwee
Troughton
Tennant
Capaldi
Davison
McCoy
McGann
Whittaker
Hartnell
Baker C

Feel sorry for Jodie Whittaker in the same way I feel sorry for Colin Baker - decent actors let down by duff scripts and poor showrunners. Would have loved to have seen more of Paul McGann onscreen - another massive shame.

Nope.

Been a while since I really properly watched Dr Who but this series is brilliant, Ncuti Gatwa is a great Doctor.

…..and possibly coming to an end for a while. Dr Who fans think it’s fabulous but it’s not as popular amongst the wider TV audience.
I may be wrong but it used to be the case you could watch an individual episode and enjoy it for what it was but now there seems to be so many plot lines across the whole series that it’s hard to dip in and out.

Gatwa is a fantastic Doctor. The latest episode was tremendous, really enjoyed it.

I haven’t watched dr who in ages (I watched the ones when Tennant came back basically).

Is that real or a bit of a joke that I don’t get?

 

[The Saturday Boy]

Unexpected...

Apart from all the rumours this week. She won’t be the Doctor, David Tennant is my bet.
