Thanks for the welcome!

Hmmm...
Favourite doctor = Tenth
Favourite companion = either Donna Noble or Martha Jones
Favourite bad guy = the Master!
Favourite story....there's a difficult one. Possibly 'the End of Time'... not too sure.

Haha my brother is a big fan of D W but I don't count as one because I stopped watching after the last doctor came. But I LOVED the first episode with him (Amy Pond as a young girl etc.) and couldn't work out why I didn't like it any more. Then I saw a Christmas special without Amy and realised it was her. I found her So annoying (controversial!)

Fave doctor still Tom Baker
Totally agree about Donna - I think she's my favourite companion.
Fave episode - possibly the Agatha Christie one.... or the Library double-episode
Also Black Orchid

I have my favourite episodes of the 'new' Dr Who (i.e. the regenerated series !) on DVD and also The 5 Doctors but no others....I like reading my brother's Dr Who magazine when I visit him but that's it so I feel I'm gate crashing this party

On the other hand it's the only forum thread I've felt like contributing to today so thank you !!

Hi Sarah l welcome to the dw forum where after discussing the question to life the universe and everything we talk about all things whovian the silence in the library is one of my favourite episodes too.

 

[A New Dawn]

The Black Orchid episode was the last of the historical episodes in the original series. But the new series actually does quite a few. There was Churchill, Charles Dickens, Agatha Christie, Shakespeare, Queen Victoria, Vincent VanGogh. There were also quite a few that took place in historical settings that did not involve any famous personalities.

Welcome to the Club! No need to feel you are gate-crashing. We agree on a lot of things! Donna is my favorite companion, and The Five Doctors is my favorite show! I am hoping that that the 50th Anniversary special, which is set to include all the Doctors, is as good as that one.

Late to the game, but A New Dawn!! I've just started watching the Walking Dead and I read about "the would-be Doctor" being a major role...and now I'm bummed too! LOL I think we have the same perspective. Once you're in a Dr Who role, to me, you'll ALWAYS be that Dr Who character.



In other news, my husband has recently obtained every single Dr Who episode that is available anywhere...so, we have a lot of viewing to catch up on!

Is there a list somewhere of all the historical episodes? I'd like to see it.

 

[The-Doctor]

It would be a long list....you have a lot of viewing if we are talking old and new ..I collect all the Tom baker stories and I haven't watched them all yet.

 

[The-Doctor]

Spoiler alert do not read if you don't want to know!!!!

The new episodes will see the Doctor and companion have an adventure in modern London. Madame vestry, Jenny and strax will also make a return as will riversong. An upgraded version of the cyber men will appear and an episode set in the TARDIS. After an absence of 39 years the ice warriors return as well as a new enemies the spoon heads. David Warner and dougray Scott appear as does the legendary celia Imrie, Diana rigg and Warwick Davis.
All this and an episode featuring a nuclear submarine...can you stand the wait?

 

[A New Dawn]

I am chomping at the bit!

 

[The-Doctor]

"I'm an alien, i have two hearts, I' m a thousand years old and I can't fly a plane...can you?" (Whilst sitting in the cockpit of a crashing plane)

A few hours to go

 

[jaapottery]

Woooo!!! Let's Go!

 

[A New Dawn]

I guess there's a couple of things I missed, but I was all flustered that it was on an hour earlier than it has been for the last several years, and had to do a bit of backtracking. I'll have to re-watch it.

What were some of the subtle things others noticed?
