calling Dr Who fans

[The-Doctor]

I recently bought that episode (I'm trying to buy all the Tom Baker stories...only 6 short!) though havem't watched it yet.

700 posts and counting here's to the next 100!

Thanks everyone for all your posts.

So here is a question for you

What was the first episode of Dr Who you ever saw and what was your first impression (if you were old enough to remember)?

 

[The-Doctor]

For me my first episode was pyramids of mars I remember watching it with my uncle and though I don't remember this my uncle told me I wouldn't stop asking questions. I guess it was the long scarf that struck me (years later I got the pattern off the internet and got my mother to knit me a copy)

 

[A New Dawn]

I started watching during the 5th Doctor, with Tegan and Turlough, I'm thinking it was Mawdryn Undead.

My first exposure to Dr. Who, though, was in college. A friend had a few books, and we spent a weekend sitting (or lying) around in a dorm room trading books till we had read them all.

The Power of Kroll

Mmm, it was definitely black and white, people were getting turned into starfish-like creatures, I remember trying to draw them! Anyone have a clue? It would have probably been the mid to late sixties, I have just the vaguest memory.

(The most recent series did well at the National TV awards: most popular actor, most poplar actress and most popular drama. There are more of us out there than we think!)

 

[A New Dawn]

Did anyone catch the oblique reference to the tomb of Rassilon in the show last night? (the second of the Cyberman shows.)

 

[MN John]

No, what was it?

 

[A New Dawn]

One would have to have a good memory (I happen to have The 5 Doctors just about memorized) but in The 5 Doctors, as they are approaching the Tomb of Rassilon, they are telling the story of the death zone, and the 2nd Doctor is singing a childs song he learned (as a child ) that tells how to get into the tomb. It was the same language he used when talking to the group he was with telling them how to attack the Cybermen production plant.

(It was pretty oblique. :o )

 

[MN John]

Oh, yes, I did notice that. I guessit just kind of washed over me though.

Hmm sounds like the underwater menace but I can't be sure.

I missed that I'll have to watch that one again. I wasn't really impressed with the new Cybermen I prefer the ones that appeared in 5 doctors/Silver nemesis much more terrifying.

I agree...there was just something wrong about the voices...they didn't sound right...

now for the question on everyone's minds:

who would win?...the new cybermen or the new cylons?...

 

[Lastie]

Daleks trump both, so who cares?

 

[The-Doctor]

Cylons would beat the new Cybermen hands down.

 

[A New Dawn]

Who are the Cylons?

 

[The-Doctor]

bad guys from the sci fi series battlestar galactica. The original ones looked like walking toasters the new versions are a bit like a nastier version of the Cybermen.

 

[The-Doctor]

So what did you think of Impossible Planet...if you have had that episode yet?

 

[MN John]

Reminds me a lot of Robots of Death.
