Guest Posted November 23, 2021 Posted November 23, 2021 Does anyone watch it? I like the current series but it is pretty complicated. I have to look at wikipedia after because dont understand bits. Still though like I said really like it.
Guest Posted December 7, 2021 Posted December 7, 2021 @CaaC (John) @Bluewolf one of you two must have watched it at some point

I heard she crashed the Tardis into an asteroid in the third episode.. She was let down in her first season by poor writing. They had this idea they were gonna not use any old enemies and there would be no two parters and no season long story ark. It just didnt work. Since then it has improved alot. However there will be some fans that will never except a female doctor even though there is nothing that says doctor who must be a man. In fact it has clearly been established before that timelords can change sex. That being said I don't think she is the best doctor certainly since it started again in 2005. However it is a hard part to play I think as other good actors have failed to play it convincingly. Some of the writing lately has changed almost 60 years of canon so she will be remembered for that even though it's not her fault.

Not really, maybe a few years back just out of interest but never hooked on it, funny enough our eldest grandson was a Dr Who fan when he was around 7 years old but not sure nowadays. The only show I liked watching with Jon Pertwee in it was good old Worzel Gummidge, I loved that series.

Do you think you could watch every single doctor who episode so I have someone to talk to about it. There are only about 1000 of them
nudge Posted December 10, 2021 Posted December 10, 2021 Can I just start watching the new series without watching the old ones first?

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted December 10, 2021 Subscriber Posted December 10, 2021 Going back to our eldest grandson Connor, as I said, he loved Dr Who but he was used to the up to date version and never really seen the old series with the Daleks then and he came around for a visit with our daughter, I think he was around 7/8 ish then. The wife went into the kitchen for a natter with our daughter so I said to Connor I would put an old Dr Who on for him and he was quite happy until he saw the Daleks then and said "Granddad...turn that off, I don't like them...", he was actually frightened looking at those things.

I can see why the captain would come accross like that but if you keep going youll think otherwise Dont give up its a real gem! I was going to say we could make a beer wager but I still have to mail you that one beer when its possible I dont know about mailing more then one

I'll give the series another go though

No missing episodes so far, but then I can just read up whenever one is missing anyway... The story hasn't been complicated at all so far, so I don't think it'll make much of a difference.

TV generally wasnt complicated back then I dont think. It was made to feel the gap for people younger than adults but older than children. Not entirely sure what ages they mean. Have the daleks said exterminate yet? Always wondered the first time they said it

Guest Posted December 16, 2021 Posted December 16, 2021 6 minutes ago, nudge said: Yes Episode 7, The Escape. They were based on the nazis. They shout exterminate all the time now. It's literally what they are famous for. In fact if you type exterminate into Google daleks are the first thing that comes up. Is it the bit where the dalek is going into he lift and the other dalek tells him to not take prisoners to exterminate them?

Nope, it's when the Daleks have the Doctor, Susan and the two teachers in captivity, and Susan tries to negotiate the peace treaty between them and the Thals, but Daleks only pretend to accept the peace offer, in order to exterminate them

Just did a bit of a google search on some of the early episodes. The series of episodes that has the first time the doctor meets the cybermen(who are a continuing enemy) and regenerates has one missing unfortunately
