Who likes Doctor Who!?

Lord Vulcher · #1 06-26-2006, 06:43 AM

Yes, I am admiting that I love Doctor Who. Does anyone else like it?

Lord Vulcher · #2 06-26-2006, 06:46 AM

Oh, by the way, here is my favourite villain. The Daleks.

Annouka-BadCat · #3 06-26-2006, 06:47 AM

*stands up. coughs*
um... My name's Nouka and I'm a Dr Who addict.

Yes, I do believe I do XD

Lord Vulcher · #4 06-26-2006, 06:50 AM

Hi Anouka, yes I like Doctor who as well. My favourite episode so far is The Satan Pit.

Annouka-BadCat · #5 06-26-2006, 07:19 AM

Yeah, It was a really good one so far... *nods* the Absorbaloff one (whatever it was called) was a bit... er... strange, don't you think?

I really hated that episode. 3/10 for me. I can't wait till Army of Ghosts and Doomsday.

Cybermen. Second one. I love how David Tennant as the Doctor struggles to deal with it when people die. The way he sounds when he tells them 'I'm sorry', tis fantastic actor. ALways hard playing an alien and making it seem convincing me thinks.

When they shut down the first cybermen, and she whispered that, as a human, she would be getting married the next day. Intensely sad. Amazing script.
Can't wait for the end either, hope they have a decent reason for Rose to leave (Of all the Doctor's companions since the 60s, many have left after falling in love with someone they've only just met, and a grand total of 3 have died. Will Rose become the fourth?)

I think Rose will PERISH UNDER MAXIMUM DELETION! DELETE! DELETE!

*jumps up and down* I like Doctor Who, I really like Doctor Who! Best show on the planet, and anyone who disgrees is a complete idiot. FACT.

Oh, and I thought 'Love & Monsters' was a wonderful episode. Unusual but wonderful.

What a glorious thread.

Splat · #10 06-26-2006, 08:22 AM

Yeah, the sad bits seem to really enpower the show more than anything else. Love and Monsters, with what happened to his girlfriend, was intensely sad. Also gave us a great veiw of Jackie. Great episode.

Tennant-Doctor seems to care a lot more about his promise to Jackie about keeping Rose safe than Eccleson-Doctor, so I don't think Rose will be killed.

Also in the past, the Doctor has only EVER gone a very short time (no more than 6 episodes I think) without a companion, so someone should be replacing Rse very soon. If she died I doubt the replacement would be so soon. So unless the makers plan for a bit of a change of format, I don't think she'll be deleted.

Lord Vulcher · #11 06-26-2006, 08:25 AM

Maybe she'll turn into a Cyberman?

Rex Tirano · #12 06-26-2006, 09:59 AM

I love love love love love love LOVE Doctor Who~!! XD

David Eccleston is yummy <3 But the writers said something about Rose could always come back.

I have nothing of interest to say, I just wanted to whore out the doctor.

I must disagree, its the biggest pile of shite on tv. It was revived because the BBC knew that it'd get people watching just because of being retro/cool and having some famous faces involved. The actual show is just cheesy and dire.

OANST · #14 06-26-2006, 11:39 AM

This one time, I deficated. Afterwards I decided to give my feces a name. I decided to call it Dr. Who. I knew I had a hit on my hands (literally, since I had no toilet paper). So I called up some producers and VOILA! A star is born.

I dislike Dr. Who.

Jacob · #15 06-26-2006, 11:42 AM

David Tennant was best in 'Casanova', but in 'Doctor Who', the writing is so abhorrent that his acting skills rarely shine.

Russell T. Davies should not be allowed to write any kind of programme again...ever. Nor should he be 'Head Writer'. He only got that job 'cos he's a Fag.

Stupid Equal Rights.

I don't think a show would retain it's audience of millions week in and week out simply because it has the allure of being retro/cool. In fact, before the show came back, Doctor Who was little more than a joke in the public's eyes, albeit with a bit of a nostalgic glow. Making this show was a MASSIVE gamble on the BBC's part, and it's great that Britain is now making it's own slice of 'genre' TV. Brave executive choices, for once.

Firstly, you do know RTD wrote Casanova, right?

Anyway, I can't believe I'm replying to yet another piece of Jacob-sized idiocy. You seriously think he has got where he is today on the basis of being gay? Grow up.

Deary me, even YOU know that's a load of bullshit, unless you truly are that ignorant. The man has had to work hard to get where he is today, after writing for kid's TV for years to now a series of brilliant drama serials. Queer as Folk, The Second Coming, Mine All Mine: fantastic. Along with Paul Abbott, he's the best writer Britain currently has working in television.

Suddenly this thread ain't so rosy.

Rich · #20 06-26-2006, 02:23 PM

The shows main gimmick/selling feature is that it's so awfully crap, it still is a joke in many peoples eyes and rightly so.

Many people watch it just because its on during a time when they are eating and are too busy to change the channel.

The facts say differently. It receives VERY good press, on the whole. The viewing figures are fantastic. And the Audience Appreciation Index (an average percentage taken from a group of the audience to gauge how a show was taken) very rarely straying from the 80s.

But that's exactly the thing, and part of the reason why it was brought back - Saturday night schedules were shocking, the ratings were pretty dire. Nobody was watching those slots. Doctor Who has fundamentally changed that view.

Rich · #22 06-26-2006, 02:46 PM

Many cheesy and awful shows do well, Doctor Who is a very polished, well produced load of tosh with some well chosen stars thrown in. Deal or no deal does execeptionally well for channel 4 and whilst I'll admit its just a pointless gameshow, I'll watch it.

Same goes for neighbours, thats pure shite, but sometimes people just want to watch shite, I watch it and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

Well, if an audience chose to watch it I'd say they'd likely vote in its favor.

You've just given two conflicting points there, haven't you?

Rich · #24 06-26-2006, 03:19 PM

Probably, but I stand by my orginal point, Doctor Who is a cheese-fest and I don't like it. Other people may like it and fair play to them, but when it comes to bad guys being made of plastic and rubbish bins eating people I think I'll avoid the television.

Besides, the guy never even asked us for reasons.

I dislike it and thats that.

"Firstly, you do know RTD wrote Casanova, right?"

No, actually. T'was quite good for him.

"Queer as Folk"

Where you quoting QAF as something he wrote, or as something that's good that he wrote. 'cos QAF was crap beyond comprehension, with appalling dialogue (made worse by the appalling acting). The American version was sooper-dooper though.

"I can't believe I'm replying to yet another piece of Jacob-sized idiocy"

Says the chap who believes only the "bad" Soldiers would get the backlash of angry Iraqi's/Insurgents.

Seriously, MF, this sadistic-flirting you're currently inflicting upon me is most dry-inducing.
