Australian here. I first saw it about 10 years ago. One of my local channels was showing reruns. First episode I watched was the one with the clockwork robots.
Australian immigrant here - I started watching 40 years ago when ABC was playing repeats with Pertwee and Tom Baker, wasn't a fan of Davidson but continued to watch, dropped it during Colin Baker, dropped again for McCoy, my interest was renewed when I discovered the McGann movie at a blockbuster - Watched Nu-Who then dropped again for Smith, returned to hate-watch Smith, dropped again for Capaldi, Hate-watched Whittaker, Hate-watched Tennant return and finally turned off for Gatwa.
American here, I caught some reruns of NuWho on our dedicated SciFi channel. The first episode I saw was the farting Slitheen and their costumes actually scared me so I changed the channel. After that I stumbled on the show again with the "are you my mummy" episode. I really liked the twist so I started following it regularly.
UK fan here. Started watching in 2005 from the first ep of nuwho. Hate dropped during S4, picked up again from start of S6 and realised S5 was actually kino. Dropped again during Jodie and picked up again for RTD2. Show is fricking garbage honestly.
American, started watching in 2012. I kind of picked the worst time to start since I caught up at the tail end of season 6 and the first stuff I watched live was 7a. I'm a mofgay Capaldi guy now but at the time 10 was my favorite.
Dixiegay here, saw nuwho once randomly in 2007 but didn’t get into it til 2013 or so and watched all the way through Matt smith
Recently watched all of old doctor who and thoroughly enjoyed it, it really was all the best of old 50s/60s sci-fi movies in a deeply British form
Frog here. start watching in 2008 at the end of S2 (there was a 1-year delay). since there was very few episodes and I wanted more I started to scrap the entire web to find subbed Classic episodes because I didn't speak English. some people started posting them around 2010 so I started watching Classic almost as a normal series since they posted only one serial a week and in order.
I have never seen a single episode of Doctor Who but I have clapped my clam at least 2-3 thousand times to fan fiction of the characters from this show having anal sex with each other.
this is it, poo Master for Jodie was just a test for black Doctor. whatever obscure minority category the Master will be, the next Doctor will be. that's the cycle now.
Almost everything has been written by RTD so far and I couldnt care less about bong actors so this means nothing to me. Indian lady in boom was hot tho
I've often wondered why we've never seen an Asian companion before in over 60 years. I get that there's a large Indian population in the UK but how come diversity only seems to mean Indian or black and we never see someone from east or southeast Asia as a fulltime companion?
Who? The Asian girl from Flux isn't a fulltime companion. Yaz is Indian. I'm saying we've never had an Asian (Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai, Malaysian etc.) fulltime companion yet, in over 60 years.
Who? The Asian girl from Flux isn't a fulltime companion. Yaz is Indian. I'm saying we've never had an Asian (Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai, Malaysian etc.) fulltime companion yet, in over 60 years.
And in Britain, if you casually call someone "Asian", people will think you're referring to Pakistanis, Indians or Bangladeshi. Chinese, Koreans, Japanese etc. are referred to as "lil' chinkie fellas" in contrast.
Speaking as someone with a Thai girlfriend with dozens of friends from all over Asia, none of them see India(ns) as Asia(ns)
They see it as its own little thing. In fact, they seem to universally despise India and its people. It's the one thing they can all agree on.

There are a lot more these days than there used to be, particularly in university towns, but they're pretty much all quiet bookworms who keep themselves to themselves and hang around mostly with each other. They don't really interact much with the natives like the young blacks / Indians tend to.
The Time Lords used the Timeless Child to become Time Lords. They were built on Tecteun experimenting on the Doctor and unlocking the secrets of regeneration. It's not like the Timeless Child appeared to the Time Lords and bestowed the power of regeneration onto them.
How did the master single handedly kill every time lord without being dropped?
Is this worth listening to? It looks like it might be shit
No it was pure shit. All the masters get separated into pairs so you end up jumping around four stories where nothing happens in most of them
The worst part is that a lot of them sound similar so it's hard to work out which master is actually which
Also spoilers in case you care the ending creates a paradox undoing the whole story so that yes, literally nothing happens and it has no impact on anything
>How did the master single handedly kill every time lord without being dropped?
That's not too much of a leap because of 12 destabilising Gallifrey when they were already weak and hiding.
No, it's still a pretty big leap that he was able to kill an entire planet's worth of regenerating technologically advanced superbeings >B-But The Doctor destabilized them!
The Doctor also defeated The Master and left him trapped in an alien landscape with no hope of escaping. Last we saw The Master was in a way worse situation than Gallifrey was. We all knew it wouldn't last, but why bring up Gallifrey's previous predicament if you're just going to straight up ignore The Master's
The Master is known for being a wienerroach that can bounce back from any situation. It doesn't really matter what situation you'll leave the Master in, he'll survive in some form.
Whereas Gallifrey is a different situation where normal Timelords aren't like the Doctor and the Master. The Time War killed their best and Rassilon was exiled. They were hiding from the rest of the universe even with Rassilon's leadership. Without it, it's no surprise the Master could end up killing the rank and file.
>normal Timelords aren't like the Doctor and the Master
What *are* normal timelords like? Do they just sit around and work in an office or something?

Before the Time War, they were just meant to watch and never interfere. It's why the Daleks posed a threat to them in the first place, Daleks are all about firepower and destruction, whereas the Time Lords hadn't needed to fight in a very long time. They were probably mostly scholars and politicians, with an underclass of Shobogans to handle the dirtier work.
>come up with a cool idea like the Corsair in series 6 >he and who knows how many time lords died outside the universe lol
always thought that was a character who should return
Why bother making these generals? Despite the show being on the air you're lucky if the thread limit is hit in two days. Mostly they just archive long before that. Face it, the show is dead.
>Why bother making these generals?
Because there is literally and unironically nowhere else on the internet you can talk about the show that doesn't ban you for being even slightly not positive about the current direction.
Threads are usually quite active on the day the episode comes out and we burn through multiple. After that though most people check out and we're left with this OP who samegays to himself by making the exact same posts in every thread and makes early threads so he's always OP, and there's not enough people who can ignore him and drown him out so everybody else leaves.
>Mostly they just archive long before that. Face it, the show is dead.
They haven't the last couple of weekends when the episodes actually air, the ones during the week keep getting overrun by schizos though.
>This thread is sick, this thread needs healing, this thread needs medicine - in fact I'd go so far as to say that what this thread really needs, right now, is a Doctor.
Colin was a great Doctor, what "killed" the show during his era was Eric Saward being a petulant twat who purposefully sabotaged his scripts rather than just quitting like a sane person who disagreed with the casting choice would do.
This but Peter Davison
Peter > Tom any day, he could actually act for shit.
Yeah he does nothing as well.
Almost would have liked Dreyfus in it so that at least it has every master possible but Big Finish embrace cancel culture

RTD cut scene of Doctor and Ruby running into a real police box from Devil's Chord
?t=484 >There was an irresistible scene that I put into that Beetles episode where the Doctor and Ruby were running back to the TARDIS and they ran into a real police box by mistake. And we ended up cutting that! just because of logistics. And why did we cut that? Why did we cut that?! That's a great scene! And then they immediately step out and go, "Oh, wrong police box", and they go to find the real TARDIS. Oh my god, why did we ever cut that, I was mad!
>2 Doctor-lite episodes back to back in his first season
On one hand that sounds absolutely moronic but on the other hand 73 Yards & Dot and Bubble were both in the first production block, which Ncuti was mostly absent from as he was still filming Sex Education season 4. The scripts were supposedly finished before he was cast but production-wise it would line up having 2 episodes featuring him less as Millie was mostly alone on set when we were getting leaks last year.
How hopeful are you about 73 Yards?
It's giving me Midnight vibes in that it seems to be doing something entirely new, with an eerie vibe to it.
The only thing making me hesitant is RTD saying this episode is one of the best things he's ever written, and I just don't buy him when he says shit like that anymore these days
>How hopeful are you about 73 Yards?
The spoilers/reviews make it sound like the laziest and stupidest shit imaginable.
Just RTD writing himself into a corner as usual but not even bothering to write himself out of it this time.
I haven't looked into it. But from what I've heard it's meant to be the Welsh one with red hats. If it is another version of Turn Left, it could be good. Especially without having to tie into the main plot. But I don't think it'll pull off the emotional weight.
>new season of Doctor Who >only 8 episodes long >The Doctor doesn't appear in 2 of them >the audiences gets to spend more time Ruby >Ruby's actress is already confirmed to be leaving
This is fine.
>Ncuti contracts spectrox toxaemia and dies on the floor >Ruby boots his corpse out the door and accidentally pilots the TARDIS into a supernova, wiping out the entire universe and existence itself
Comfy
Please watch my latest episode of Doctor Who, "73 Yards" both on iPlayer tonight at midnight, and again tomorrow on broadcast. I can promise you it's one of the best things I've ever written, and quite scary too. Let's save Doctor Who together.
So Moff wrote Boom and the upcoming Christmas episode. He said he hasn't written anything for the next series, but he's seen the scripts for the finale for "reasons that will become clear".
1. Do we think he'll come back to write for 'season 3' and beyond or is this really it for him?
2. Why do we think he's seen the scripts for next series' finale? Maybe they feature a character or monster he created?
look at this interview from a couple months ago (before he was confirmed for anything) >"Look at my ageing face. How can I fit in? And I know, because I've seen the feedback, that people think I'm being evasive on the subject," he explained, before continuing, "The truth is, if I say anything negative about Doctor Who it goes everywhere, like boom, everywhere, right? >"It doesn't exactly bring joy to the world that I just say something negative about Doctor Who. The fact is, it's fine without me."
now look at it a bit closer. >like, BOOM, everywhere >doesn't exactly bring JOY TO THE WORLD
odds are something like 'fine without me' might be a moffat script in either season 2 or season 3
if he did, it'd be for the same reason the others used him: he can turn out just about passable scripts that don't need much editing in a short period of time which is great when you're juggling a billion things at once (as RTD was with SJA/Torchwood/DW and Moffat was with DW and Sherlock)
but current doctor who is written miles in advance so they don't need him
>"Dinosaurs on a spaceship? Pah, That'll be done in half an hour! We need more, I know I'll add Peep Show Robots! Oh hey and Cleopatra, comin' atcha! Or maybe Neffertitty because that's a funnier name. Now to write this episode by flinging shit at a wall and writing down anything that sticks and looks like letters. "
It was just another ordinary day at the Powell Estates for the Doctor and her companions, Yaz, Ryan, and Graham. The TARDIS had landed in the backyard, much to the surprise of the residents of the estate. But the Doctor paid them no mind and led her friends out into the neighborhood.
As they walked down the streets, they noticed something strange. People were disappearing left and right, without a trace. The Doctor immediately knew that something was amiss and set out to investigate.
Their search led them to a nearby park, where they stumbled upon a peculiar looking toilet that seemed to be the source of the disappearances. The Doctor's curiosity was piqued, and she wasted no time in examining the toilet.
As she prodded and probed the toilet, a rift in time and space opened up, sucking the Doctor and her companions into it. They found themselves in a parallel universe, where an alien race known as the Loox were using the toilet as a means to transport unsuspecting humans to their planet.
The Doctor was furious at the Loox for their deceitful ways and quickly devised a plan to save the missing people and put an end to the Loox's scheme. With the help of her trusty sonic screwdriver and her quick thinking, the Doctor was able to reverse the effects of the toilet and free the trapped humans.
In the end, the Doctor bid farewell to the residents of the Powell Estates, ensuring them that they were safe once more. As they stepped back into the TARDIS, the Doctor couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of the situation.
"Who knew a simple toilet could cause so much trouble," the Doctor mused, as she set the coordinates for their next adventure. And with a whoosh and a bang, the TARDIS disappeared into the time vortex, leaving behind a trail of flushed out secrets and newfound allies.)
I'll probably watch it in the morning unless I'm feeling particularly awake in a couple of hours. I'd rather enjoy what I'm watching more than see it earlier.
It was a seemingly quiet day in the TARDIS when the Doctor's companions, Yaz and Ryan, suddenly alerted him to a strange anomaly in the time vortex. As the Doctor navigated the TARDIS towards the disturbance, he was surprised to find himself face to face with none other than Nicholas Briggs, the voice of the Daleks and a key figure at Big Finish Productions.
"What are you doing here, Nicholas?" the Doctor demanded, suspicious of the intruder on his ship.
Briggs smirked and revealed his sinister plan. He explained that he had devised a way to use Big Finish audio dramas as a weapon to take control of the universe. With the power of sound waves, he could manipulate time and space to bend to his will.
The Doctor was horrified at the thought of Briggs using his beloved show, "Doctor Who," for his own nefarious purposes. Determined to stop him, the Doctor reached out to his old friends, Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat, for help.
Working together, the Doctor, Davies, and Moffat devised a plan to counter Briggs' audio manipulation. They knew they needed to create a sound barrier to block Briggs' control over time and space. Using the TARDIS as a beacon, they began broadcasting their own stories, tales of hope and heroism that inspired listeners across the universe.
As the sound waves clashed, a cacophony of echoes filled the air. The Doctor, Davies, and Moffat stood strong, their stories acting as a shield against Briggs' malevolent influence. Slowly but surely, the tide began to turn in their favor.
In a final showdown, the Doctor confronted Briggs, using the power of his sonic screwdriver to amplify the sound barrier and push back the influence of the Big Finish audio dramas. With a deafening roar, the barrier shattered Briggs' control, freeing the universe from his grasp.
Defeated and humiliated, Briggs slunk away, vowing revenge. But the Doctor knew that as long as he had his friends by his side, they could face any challenge that came their way.
And so, with the universe safe once again, the Doctor, Davies, and Moffat set off on new adventures, united in the fight against tyranny and injustice, their bond stronger than ever.
I'll do what I've done the last few weeks. Go to sleep around around 10, set an alarm for 12 to watch it, then go back to sleep around 2 when I've shat on it on here then rewatch it tomorrow and decide I actually kind of like it.
for my family it was probably Rose appearing at the end of Partners in crime or just the whole Turn Left/The Stolen Earth/Journey's End three parter because we were watching Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Sarah Jane Adventures as they aired so seeing everyone together in one episode was insane
I think YANA might have done it but I don't think my parents were that into the show growing up, so it wasn't quite as monumental for us when the Master appeared.
I've got a soft spot for The End of Time Part 1's ending. With the based moronicness of "The Master Race" followed by James Bond announcing that The Time Lords were returning
According to the new issue of Private Eye, Russell T. Davies has been seething about rightwing newspapers being backwards and bigoted against gays, blacks, trans etc but the Daily Mail gave Space Babies and Not-Beatles both 5/5 star reviews
Ncuti Gatwa regenerates into Jonah Hauer-King in 'Empire of Death'. The timelines splinter, and Ruby is left trapped in an alternative version of Earth whilst The Doctor goes on thinking Ruby has died.
Actual spoilers, but you're not going to like them.
They're right about Sutekh, and while he looks like a power rangers villain when he's CGI'd, the practical effects at least look good when he's not, though it's hard to frick up Sutekh.
Unfortunately, there's a very cringe speech he gives where he says he's been laying plans for the doctor for "half your lifetimes past", and intends to drain the doctor of all his regenerations, killing him outright. of course, RTD is a moron who can't help but rub things into people's faces, so Ncuti has this big triumphant speech about the power of being an orphan, how he doesn't have any limits because he's a mystery to the universe, and basically how amazing it is to...be in the foster system..?
Sutekh kills Ruby instead, but Ncuti keeps her alive bound to the tardis, presumably so that Millie can be in the few episodes they filmed before Ncuti demanded she leave the show, before she becomes one with the tardis or whatever and disappears.
It's heavily implied in the show that the indian woman is from the same dimension (which she lets slip is called "The 'NotherPlace"
It's all made out to be some big epic disney thing, but it's a dud, obviously. Reminded me of The End of Time. Lots of threads and bombastic speech that doesn't really go anywhere until the last ten minutes.
She is leaving. She has been very positive in interviews because she's being pasted into a few episodes, but she's not filmed with Ncuti since the debacle at Penarth Pier. He didn't like her much from the beginning, and is a massive diva as you can imagine. I think he's genuinely a racist prick but I also get the impression that RTD thinks he's gonna ride him into hollywood.
Shut the frick up moron we have dozens of set photos of her filming for season 2 with some of the new guest characters as well as Ncuti, at least do some research before you start spewing shit.
I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't spend much time here, especially lately. I don't know anything about John Simm, and haven't seen him, but it's probably bullshit because he's a good actor with standards and principles, so I doubt he'll be in Who again.
Doctor's trying to figure out Ruby's ethnicity and who their mother is, because Ruby's some special person cosmic drag queens are afraid of.
Susan Twist shows up in every episode.
That's about it for the season over-arcing plot.
Seems to be the way currently. Although people are saying wait and see for online viewing figures etc etc. But we'll find our actual answer when the show ends in a month.

i think if rusty and the big black wiener had numbers on hand to refute it they'd be parading them around instead of relying on the Disney tactic of "our shit doesn't suck the audience is just [x]ist"

Nctuni's gonna be the revivals Sixth Doctor. Except for Colin actually came back to redeem his doctor.
Sixie did nothing wrong. S22 ratings were normal. the BBC cancelled the show without any objective reason then gaslighted everybody into believing they were right.
I'm actually okay with this specific use of it because there's specific rules to it with the circle and the rules it follows. The other episodes were just 'lol here's magic and if you complain then too bad doctor who was always camp and silly'
russel is trying to appeal to a new audience that thinks sci-fi is lame and boring

I read those reviews and had high hopes. It was just bland. Boom was probably better. Is Who dead?

weird coincidence that the new writers and actors involved are from Disney licenses
crazy how odd that is.
Almost everything has been written by RTD so far and I couldnt care less about bong actors so this means nothing to me. Indian lady in boom was hot tho
The lack of Indians in doctor who is surprising considering all the black people as there are substantially more Indians than black people in the UK
we just had 3 series of a paki companion
and nobody watched it
And an Indian Master.
I've often wondered why we've never seen an Asian companion before in over 60 years. I get that there's a large Indian population in the UK but how come diversity only seems to mean Indian or black and we never see someone from east or southeast Asia as a fulltime companion?
We have seen one in the Chibnall era.
east asians
Nobody watched that though, to be fair.
The first episode somehow got tons of viewers.
>tons
> <5M
cope me up sis
Who? The Asian girl from Flux isn't a fulltime companion. Yaz is Indian. I'm saying we've never had an Asian (Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai, Malaysian etc.) fulltime companion yet, in over 60 years.
We need a qt bugwaifu that does the Doctor's laundry
>qt bugwaifu
oxymoron
India is in asia.
Asian rape gangs doublespeak
And in Britain, if you casually call someone "Asian", people will think you're referring to Pakistanis, Indians or Bangladeshi. Chinese, Koreans, Japanese etc. are referred to as "lil' chinkie fellas" in contrast.

They see it as its own little thing. In fact, they seem to universally despise India and its people. It's the one thing they can all agree on.
it's simple
>pakistanis, indians, bangladeshis, sri lankans etc = asians
>chineses, japaneses, koreanses etc = orientals
The UK has an incredibly small amount of east asians, and it's a case at least in my experience where it's out of site, out of mind.
>The UK has an incredibly small amount of east asians
they are still more than gay Blacks I presume
There are a lot more these days than there used to be, particularly in university towns, but they're pretty much all quiet bookworms who keep themselves to themselves and hang around mostly with each other. They don't really interact much with the natives like the young blacks / Indians tend to.
not long until pure kino
Why did the Timeless Child stuff make The Master so annoyed that he wiped out all the Time Lords? Seems like lazy writing
The Master discovered that he owes everything to the Doctor, which pissed him off.
Wouldn't that just make him angry at The Doctor now the Time Lords? Seems a bit contrived
The Time Lords used the Timeless Child to become Time Lords. They were built on Tecteun experimenting on the Doctor and unlocking the secrets of regeneration. It's not like the Timeless Child appeared to the Time Lords and bestowed the power of regeneration onto them.

he used magic from Maestro troony goddess

The doctor is really taking us for a ride on the bbc this season dang it's neen so long since I viewed that channel for a show
great somebody let the moron who not only can't format a subject title properly but also is a notorious samegayger make the thread
i'm out
Why bother making these generals? Despite the show being on the air you're lucky if the thread limit is hit in two days. Mostly they just archive long before that. Face it, the show is dead.
>Why bother making these generals?
Because there is literally and unironically nowhere else on the internet you can talk about the show that doesn't ban you for being even slightly not positive about the current direction.

Threads are usually quite active on the day the episode comes out and we burn through multiple. After that though most people check out and we're left with this OP who samegays to himself by making the exact same posts in every thread and makes early threads so he's always OP, and there's not enough people who can ignore him and drown him out so everybody else leaves.

>Mostly they just archive long before that. Face it, the show is dead.
They haven't the last couple of weekends when the episodes actually air, the ones during the week keep getting overrun by schizos though.

That's just the title of the last episode this season. They completely gave up trying to be clever.

Why did they ever hire Colin Baker?
He killed the show.
Hi Eric.
This but Peter Davison
I actually quite like Davison's run.
Colin was a great Doctor, what "killed" the show during his era was Eric Saward being a petulant twat who purposefully sabotaged his scripts rather than just quitting like a sane person who disagreed with the casting choice would do.
Peter > Tom any day, he could actually act for shit.
Will you be watching tonight /who/???
Nah I'm just here to shitpost. I've not watched an episode since The Timeless Children (because I wanted to live post the disaster with /who/)
I come here solely for this image
pics?
Is this worth listening to? It looks like it might be shit
>haha what if we combined all the masters but also give all attention to simm and gomez and have the others just be there not doing anything
love how Gatiss just had to shove his shitty little Unbound Master in there
Yeah he does nothing as well.
Almost would have liked Dreyfus in it so that at least it has every master possible but Big Finish embrace cancel culture
I just realized this shit started airing its new season already, hows it been so far lads?
Shit and gay.
So it's fixed itself?

RTD cut scene of Doctor and Ruby running into a real police box from Devil's Chord
?t=484
>There was an irresistible scene that I put into that Beetles episode where the Doctor and Ruby were running back to the TARDIS and they ran into a real police box by mistake. And we ended up cutting that! just because of logistics. And why did we cut that? Why did we cut that?! That's a great scene! And then they immediately step out and go, "Oh, wrong police box", and they go to find the real TARDIS. Oh my god, why did we ever cut that, I was mad!
Potential spoilers for Dot and Bubble. Sounds too bullshit to be real, but anything is possible with moron these days
There were images from filming where a bunch of extras were playing hypnotised alongside these massive slug props last year
>RTD does two back-to-back Doctor-lite episodes about owning the chuds

He stopped taking drugs.
he was never good, but he had some gimmicks to fool toddlers
You say that like it's a bad thing considering it is a show for kids.

It's a family show.
so why is it full of ugly, gays, trannies and bames?
Not since 2011
Moffat made it more grown up.
Put a spoiler on it
>2 Doctor-lite episodes back to back in his first season
On one hand that sounds absolutely moronic but on the other hand 73 Yards & Dot and Bubble were both in the first production block, which Ncuti was mostly absent from as he was still filming Sex Education season 4. The scripts were supposedly finished before he was cast but production-wise it would line up having 2 episodes featuring him less as Millie was mostly alone on set when we were getting leaks last year.
Amazing. They couldn't even film the season at a right time lmao. one-fourth of this season doesn't star The Doctor -- What an absolute disaster.
She mogs Clara and Amy

Imagine if the Doctor was a cute Japanese girl.

That's racist.
Enjoying one race over others is racist as well.
The next doctor must be human.
What's wrong with him being a Time Lord?
They are racist agains the Daleks.
Daleks are racists against everyone else. Time Lords want to stop racist Daleks.
They have to be above it
Technically humans can be Daleks, so it's not racist to destroy the Daleks.

How hopeful are you about 73 Yards?
It's giving me Midnight vibes in that it seems to be doing something entirely new, with an eerie vibe to it.
The only thing making me hesitant is RTD saying this episode is one of the best things he's ever written, and I just don't buy him when he says shit like that anymore these days
I'm not watching
I'm not gay nor NL
There might not be any black people in the episode.
greasy homobame will be in the intro
It's already been done before with Turn Left.
>How hopeful are you about 73 Yards?
The spoilers/reviews make it sound like the laziest and stupidest shit imaginable.
Just RTD writing himself into a corner as usual but not even bothering to write himself out of it this time.
I haven't looked into it. But from what I've heard it's meant to be the Welsh one with red hats. If it is another version of Turn Left, it could be good. Especially without having to tie into the main plot. But I don't think it'll pull off the emotional weight.
>How hopeful are you about 73 Yards?
I'm hoping the Doctor gets killed
by anal hemorrage
That'll do nicely
It's kino
it looks like it's gonna be a condensed Years & Years. if you've seen that show then you know what to expect.

Please watch my latest episode of Doctor Who, "73 Yards" both on iPlayer tonight at midnight, and again tomorrow on broadcast. I can promise you it's one of the best things I've ever written, and quite scary too. Let's save Doctor Who together.

Is the new Dr Who one of the biggest TV show flops of all time?
So Moff wrote Boom and the upcoming Christmas episode. He said he hasn't written anything for the next series, but he's seen the scripts for the finale for "reasons that will become clear".
1. Do we think he'll come back to write for 'season 3' and beyond or is this really it for him?
2. Why do we think he's seen the scripts for next series' finale? Maybe they feature a character or monster he created?
>Why do we think he's seen the scripts for next series' finale
My guess is Weeping Angels return or something new gets introduced in his Xmas episode
look at this interview from a couple months ago (before he was confirmed for anything)
>"Look at my ageing face. How can I fit in? And I know, because I've seen the feedback, that people think I'm being evasive on the subject," he explained, before continuing, "The truth is, if I say anything negative about Doctor Who it goes everywhere, like boom, everywhere, right?
>"It doesn't exactly bring joy to the world that I just say something negative about Doctor Who. The fact is, it's fine without me."
now look at it a bit closer.
>like, BOOM, everywhere
>doesn't exactly bring JOY TO THE WORLD
odds are something like 'fine without me' might be a moffat script in either season 2 or season 3
>if I say anything negative about Doctor Who it goes everywhere, like boom, everywhere
i hate this 'please clap' homie so much it's unreal
Could be for the Christmas special. Might be something timey wimey. Ruby's plot is pretty timey wimey after all.
You sure that it was next season? Might be this season, he said in the same commentary that he has no idea about Verada Sethu.
He said he'd only seen the first four scripts of the current season and nothing after that, but he HAD seen next year's finale scripts.
Will he write an episode for Ncuti?
Hopefully not.
if he did, it'd be for the same reason the others used him: he can turn out just about passable scripts that don't need much editing in a short period of time which is great when you're juggling a billion things at once (as RTD was with SJA/Torchwood/DW and Moffat was with DW and Sherlock)
but current doctor who is written miles in advance so they don't need him
>"Dinosaurs on a spaceship? Pah, That'll be done in half an hour! We need more, I know I'll add Peep Show Robots! Oh hey and Cleopatra, comin' atcha! Or maybe Neffertitty because that's a funnier name. Now to write this episode by flinging shit at a wall and writing down anything that sticks and looks like letters. "
how did he grow it back?
He went to turkey
Flushing Out the Truth
It was just another ordinary day at the Powell Estates for the Doctor and her companions, Yaz, Ryan, and Graham. The TARDIS had landed in the backyard, much to the surprise of the residents of the estate. But the Doctor paid them no mind and led her friends out into the neighborhood.
As they walked down the streets, they noticed something strange. People were disappearing left and right, without a trace. The Doctor immediately knew that something was amiss and set out to investigate.
Their search led them to a nearby park, where they stumbled upon a peculiar looking toilet that seemed to be the source of the disappearances. The Doctor's curiosity was piqued, and she wasted no time in examining the toilet.
As she prodded and probed the toilet, a rift in time and space opened up, sucking the Doctor and her companions into it. They found themselves in a parallel universe, where an alien race known as the Loox were using the toilet as a means to transport unsuspecting humans to their planet.
The Doctor was furious at the Loox for their deceitful ways and quickly devised a plan to save the missing people and put an end to the Loox's scheme. With the help of her trusty sonic screwdriver and her quick thinking, the Doctor was able to reverse the effects of the toilet and free the trapped humans.
In the end, the Doctor bid farewell to the residents of the Powell Estates, ensuring them that they were safe once more. As they stepped back into the TARDIS, the Doctor couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of the situation.
"Who knew a simple toilet could cause so much trouble," the Doctor mused, as she set the coordinates for their next adventure. And with a whoosh and a bang, the TARDIS disappeared into the time vortex, leaving behind a trail of flushed out secrets and newfound allies.)
I'm 24 years old and plan to watch Doctor Who at midnight on a Friday night.
I'll probably watch it in the morning unless I'm feeling particularly awake in a couple of hours. I'd rather enjoy what I'm watching more than see it earlier.
Wasn't there rumours of a big twist tonight?
THERES ALWAYS A TWIST IN THE END
There's always a twist at the end.
Episode Title: "The Big Finish"
It was a seemingly quiet day in the TARDIS when the Doctor's companions, Yaz and Ryan, suddenly alerted him to a strange anomaly in the time vortex. As the Doctor navigated the TARDIS towards the disturbance, he was surprised to find himself face to face with none other than Nicholas Briggs, the voice of the Daleks and a key figure at Big Finish Productions.
"What are you doing here, Nicholas?" the Doctor demanded, suspicious of the intruder on his ship.
Briggs smirked and revealed his sinister plan. He explained that he had devised a way to use Big Finish audio dramas as a weapon to take control of the universe. With the power of sound waves, he could manipulate time and space to bend to his will.
The Doctor was horrified at the thought of Briggs using his beloved show, "Doctor Who," for his own nefarious purposes. Determined to stop him, the Doctor reached out to his old friends, Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat, for help.
Working together, the Doctor, Davies, and Moffat devised a plan to counter Briggs' audio manipulation. They knew they needed to create a sound barrier to block Briggs' control over time and space. Using the TARDIS as a beacon, they began broadcasting their own stories, tales of hope and heroism that inspired listeners across the universe.
As the sound waves clashed, a cacophony of echoes filled the air. The Doctor, Davies, and Moffat stood strong, their stories acting as a shield against Briggs' malevolent influence. Slowly but surely, the tide began to turn in their favor.
In a final showdown, the Doctor confronted Briggs, using the power of his sonic screwdriver to amplify the sound barrier and push back the influence of the Big Finish audio dramas. With a deafening roar, the barrier shattered Briggs' control, freeing the universe from his grasp.
Defeated and humiliated, Briggs slunk away, vowing revenge. But the Doctor knew that as long as he had his friends by his side, they could face any challenge that came their way.
And so, with the universe safe once again, the Doctor, Davies, and Moffat set off on new adventures, united in the fight against tyranny and injustice, their bond stronger than ever.

no thanks
I'll do what I've done the last few weeks. Go to sleep around around 10, set an alarm for 12 to watch it, then go back to sleep around 2 when I've shat on it on here then rewatch it tomorrow and decide I actually kind of like it.
What was the hypest moment of Nu Who? I remember soi facing at the YANA reveal and Jacobi regenerating into Simms
Either that or the Stolen Earth cliffhanger. Some people actually thought that he was going to regenerate.
for my family it was probably Rose appearing at the end of Partners in crime or just the whole Turn Left/The Stolen Earth/Journey's End three parter because we were watching Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Sarah Jane Adventures as they aired so seeing everyone together in one episode was insane
I think YANA might have done it but I don't think my parents were that into the show growing up, so it wasn't quite as monumental for us when the Master appeared.
i liked the missy reveal she delivered it so well
>be me
>10 years old
In David Tennants last episode when the 4 knocks was actually Wilfred. I remembering thinking it was the smartest shit ever at the time.
He looks so happy to get to do an episode with Santa.
who's getting the best head?
I've got a soft spot for The End of Time Part 1's ending. With the based moronicness of "The Master Race" followed by James Bond announcing that The Time Lords were returning
yes it was freaking epic

>jew
plausible way for them to try to salvage the ratings with a """white"""" Doctor but keep it ~~*subversive*~~
Just like James Bond.
Actual spoilers, but you're not going to like them.
They're right about Sutekh, and while he looks like a power rangers villain when he's CGI'd, the practical effects at least look good when he's not, though it's hard to frick up Sutekh.
Unfortunately, there's a very cringe speech he gives where he says he's been laying plans for the doctor for "half your lifetimes past", and intends to drain the doctor of all his regenerations, killing him outright. of course, RTD is a moron who can't help but rub things into people's faces, so Ncuti has this big triumphant speech about the power of being an orphan, how he doesn't have any limits because he's a mystery to the universe, and basically how amazing it is to...be in the foster system..?
Sutekh kills Ruby instead, but Ncuti keeps her alive bound to the tardis, presumably so that Millie can be in the few episodes they filmed before Ncuti demanded she leave the show, before she becomes one with the tardis or whatever and disappears.
It's heavily implied in the show that the indian woman is from the same dimension (which she lets slip is called "The 'NotherPlace"
It's all made out to be some big epic disney thing, but it's a dud, obviously. Reminded me of The End of Time. Lots of threads and bombastic speech that doesn't really go anywhere until the last ten minutes.
we already know millie gibson isn't leaving the show though
She is leaving. She has been very positive in interviews because she's being pasted into a few episodes, but she's not filmed with Ncuti since the debacle at Penarth Pier. He didn't like her much from the beginning, and is a massive diva as you can imagine. I think he's genuinely a racist prick but I also get the impression that RTD thinks he's gonna ride him into hollywood.
Shut the frick up moron we have dozens of set photos of her filming for season 2 with some of the new guest characters as well as Ncuti, at least do some research before you start spewing shit.
> we have dozens of set photos of her filming for season 2
Yes? it was a season 2 episode they filmed at the pier, which is what I am talking about.
Sure you are buddy.
This is the gay who keeps posting fake leaks about Simm returning. Ignore him.
I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't spend much time here, especially lately. I don't know anything about John Simm, and haven't seen him, but it's probably bullshit because he's a good actor with standards and principles, so I doubt he'll be in Who again.
t. neo
take your fakery back to your forum
again, no idea who they are. But if they have said the things I have said, then they're right, I don't know what forum you are talking about, even.
last minute predictions for 73 yards?
mine is that the old woman is actually ruby trying to break a time loop and free the doctor
i've only watched the Christmas special and Boom for Moffatkino (it was mid) fill me in on what's going on
Doctor's trying to figure out Ruby's ethnicity and who their mother is, because Ruby's some special person cosmic drag queens are afraid of.
Susan Twist shows up in every episode.
That's about it for the season over-arcing plot.
Susan Twist's characters have no relation to Mrs. Flood right?
None so far. It's just characters Susan Twist shows up as.
thanks, just making sure i wasn't confusing them
apparently the drag queen played a they/them character so i'm really glad i'm sitting this horseshit out, are the ratings as bad as i hear?
Seems to be the way currently. Although people are saying wait and see for online viewing figures etc etc. But we'll find our actual answer when the show ends in a month.
i think if rusty and the big black wiener had numbers on hand to refute it they'd be parading them around instead of relying on the Disney tactic of "our shit doesn't suck the audience is just [x]ist"
t. racist incel

Something about gay stuff probably.

Nctuni's gonna be the revivals Sixth Doctor. Except for Colin actually came back to redeem his doctor.
The Sixth Doctor curse..
Unable to save the show from it's free-falling viewership.
Also, 73 Yards is up on Iplayer now.
Ncuti blows ass though there's nothing to redeem, he just doesn't really embody any of the character's key identity components
Sixie did nothing wrong. S22 ratings were normal. the BBC cancelled the show without any objective reason then gaslighted everybody into believing they were right.
Could that camera pan back-and-forth oh-he's-gone have been any more halfassed

Witchcraft! Good old JK!
This fantasy magic shit is fricking stupid
What happened to sci-fi?
Zoomers can't understand science. smartphones are literal magic for them.
I'm actually okay with this specific use of it because there's specific rules to it with the circle and the rules it follows. The other episodes were just 'lol here's magic and if you complain then too bad doctor who was always camp and silly'
russel is trying to appeal to a new audience that thinks sci-fi is lame and boring
i'm not okay with it because of the above. it's rusty just trying to turn the show into a completely different show.
how convenient that they all decided to pull a prank at the exact same time

I read those reviews and had high hopes. It was just bland. Boom was probably better. Is Who dead?
