US Sci-Fi Channel to air new Doctor Who

[dontasciime]

Torchwood is far better than I expected it to be.

 

I'm hooked.

 

Not for kids though.

Bit disapointed with the cyberwoman episode, it didnt seem to go anywhere apart from up and down stairs.

 

John Barrowman was on Jonathon Ross last night and he was very funny, maybe they should inject a little of his humour into Torchwood.

 

Here you go db:

The only dissapointing thing about that episode was the lack of pole dancing.

[jack]

Nice, a pole dancing cyberbabe is on my christmas list!

You meant that happened in something other than a Dalek story?

[dbminter]

I remember catching the music video for that song once, and only once, on late night Sunday MTV on some show about either independents or British music. Or both.

If I'm correct, the next episode to air is The Impossible Planet, the first of a two-parter. I don't think db has seem these, and the two together make a very good story. Genuinely creepy in parts, with a great CGI monster.

 

Enjoy this one, and the second part, The Satan Pit, as after those comes Love & Monsters...

[dbminter]

The Idiot's Lantern is the one that most recently aired.

Love and Monsters is a very poor episode IMHO

 

Thanks for the YouTube link Jack - I haven't heard/seen that in years !!

[dbminter]

Dr. Demento even said it was most likely the return of the new series to Sci-Fi Channel that garnered so many requests for the show.

[dbminter]

Oh, can the Doctor survive?

Normally, I'm not a fan of Flash type animation in any format, but, even disregarding the "It's better no video at all argument," I must say, I like what I've seen so far. I HOPE this gets an R1 release!

[dbminter]

SAY NO MORE!

I have the Invasion in my rental que, I didnt want to buy until I have seen wether the end result is any good or not.

[dbminter]

So... does this image depict the first Idiot's Lantern in Doctor Who?

 

 

 

 

There's just something about the "look" on that Cyberman's face, coupled with a lantern on top of his head...

Ok going back a few posts now - I managed to watch the first 2 episodes of Torchwood at the weekend which have been sitting on the Sky+ box for a while. I thought they were really good - once I got over the fact that DC Gwen Cooper is the maid from The Unquiet Dead - Charles Dickens episode of Dr Who I really enjoyed it.

 

Have the rest of the series so far on Sky+ and will make an effort to see them this week, the nympho alien episode reminded me a little of Species as well.

I went to the Doctor Who charity concert last night. The BBC Wales Orchestra were excellent. There was a short Q&A session with David Tennent, Russell T Davies, and Murray Gold (the composer). Nothing too interesting really, but it was cut short by a Dalek voice booming out of nowhere saying "Attention! This building is now under Dalek control!" A full-size Dalek then appeared on stage and moved about while the orchestra played music from the series.

 

The was a huge screen above the stage, which was mostly showing clips from the last two series. But we were shown a clip from the upcoming christmas episode. It was a motorway chase scene involving a taxi (with the bride in) and the TARDIS dodging other cars, flying over them, trying to rescue the bride from the taxi. It was very impressive, and looked really well done.

Are you enjoying Torchwood tho digi ?

[digidragon]

I liked the first one, the cyberfemale one, and the evil fairies one. I haven't been impressed with the rest.

[lfcrule1972]

I have only seen the first two so far so will let you know how I get on with the rest.....

[jack]

Last nights episode started off really well, and was quite scary in places when you realise where I live!!!! I do think Torchwood suffers from the same problem Dr Who occasionally has, they run out of time and the end doesnt live up to the start. Still a pretty good episode last night, anybody want to come round to mine for dinner??

 

Mind you next weeks story looks good, Tosh gets a shag!!!!

[dbminter]

Christopher Eccleston appears to have signed on to appear in the series Heroes. He may end up playing the serial killer. Another reason to like Heroes... even if it shameless rips off J. Michael Straczynski's Rising Stars comic book.

Bugger! The Spearhead from Space was on tonight and missed most of it! Theres a British sci-fi season on BBC 4 and Spearhead was part of it, one of my favourite stories. You have got to love it when the Nestene starts to strangle the Dr at the end and Pertwee pulls his Navy Lark face, very funny!

I thought all fairies were considered evil in Britain. Well, up until 1966, wasn't it?

Navy Lark? That was just Pertwee's negative reactions from reversing the polarity of the neutron flow of the Mind Probe.

No, he really needs a lateral molecular rectifier in this episode! Sounds kind of painfull to be honest
