Dr. Who movie- still not happy...

I don't know if I have any fellow Dr. Who fans here, but...

Hugh Grant as the Doc... he wasn't THAT popular on Comic Relief... and Richard E. Grant was MUCH better, anyway... bloody cuteness factor.

And Tom Baker... he is thw sweetest, greatest man... but he;s also absolutely barking. Quite what a piece based on work of his would be like I don't want to know... I'm lying. I DO want to know.

In the end... nearly all Doc Who fans have been very, very nervous about a big screen movie. Is there ever going to be ANY news that will make us feel better?

Personnaly I liked Sylvester McCoy who came with Ace. Then again I was 13 at the time...

I thought the tv movie was quite good, I think it had scope as a series of 2 hours specials but it newver happened. 🙁

It was designed to please the American audience as well as the British and it seemed to irritate both sides in different ways. A shame though as it wasn't all that bad and it did have a different feel...

CLIFFHANGERS! It just didn't work without them... and what was that ending all about? And what the **** were those Dalek voices?

The sets were bloody marvellous, though, and Paul McGann would have been a great Doctor... but he doesn't seem to want the job.

So, you liked Ace, eh, Zereil? Could have guessed as much from you...

What do you mean? Actually intrigued Extrapolate? And as to the set design you are perfectky right, marvelous, isnt the Doctor going to have lost almost too many incarnations sooner or later, doesn't he have 5 at best left?...

Ace seems your type...

TECHNICALLY speaking there is a get out clause for the Doctor to get his lives back... it IS possible for a Time Lord to begin a new regeneration cycle.

In what regard is Ace my type apart from the obvious of female and how does Doctors start a new regeneration? and wouldn't that actually be a shame in a s much that it would give him this infinite lives potential that would lose his frailty and the therefore ability to connect on certain levels...

1. Oh COME on...

2. Yes, on the face of it, thouigh we do not think it is easy. The High COuncil offered it as an incentive to the burnt-out Master in the Five Doctors. How it would be done was not said. However, in The Ultimate Foe (subset of Trial of a Time Lord), it was indicated that it was possible by taking the 'lives' of another Time Lord... uh-oh...

BEFORE death. It happens when you are dying. If you are actually dead, it is too late. Time Lords are hardy, but if one got vaporised that would be it.

Technically a Time Lord can regenerate at any time s/he likes, but normally, of course, they try to make use of a body until the last possible moment...

Is that so. 😂

Makes sense to me, you'd want to get full use out of the thing. No point hopping on before you're fully comfortable with it...

And, in a funny way, the personality always changes. Guess that's something they might want to put off to the last minute.

Or, like Jon Pertwee, you may end up with a tattoo on your body, weirdly.

Pat Troughton even managed a change of clothes when he did it... what if he liked the old ones, eh?

This is certainly a big career move.

There is only one Doctor of course...

...and that's invariably the one you grew up with...

Yeah, but I grew up with Pertwee, Baker , Davidson and Baker

Ok, it's normally the first one that came to your attention as a child then...

Well, Pertwee was the first one I saw, but Baker was the first I realy noticed.

Though I do remember Pertwee and the giant robot....

Which one? The story 'Robot' was Baker's first, but I'm sure Pertwee met one somewhere along the line...
