[Official] Doctor Who Thread


Recommended Posts

Doctor Who averaged a respectable 5.9m for BBC One on Saturday evening, according to early overnight data.

'The Pandorica Opens', the penultimate episode of series four, attracted 5.38m (28.9%) from 6.50pm, along with a further 497k (2.7%) HD viewers. Doctor Who Confidential followed on BBC Three with 624k (3.1%) at 7.20pm.

This series really should have been called 'The exciting adventures of the young Dr Who'

Full cast of... yes Im going to say it Baddies, a Doctor who seems to have forgotten all his life lessons and turned back to a teenager oh and a companion who I actually wish has died as she is that unimportant.

I have always been left in suspense for a Dr Who series Finale however I really don't care what happens this time.

tut tut Jan those could be spoilerific to some...linking would of been better :p

Meh, we know they'll win and kill the bad guys and then next series somehow they'll return, the Doctor defeats them, they return next series and so on blink.gif

I understand what you mean, that magazine ages ago for Series 4 finale contained the episodes story line, like the Doctor getting zapped by a dalek :( Grrr hated that.

Doesn't matter, they are still blatant spoilers, I was hoping to not get the last episode spoiled in anyway, but cheers anyway, the pictures can lead to some obvious conclusion, you've ruined the show for me!

:p

though in all seriousness, should link possibly spoiler pictures instead of showing them, for those that don't want to see anything.

Yeah, I read about the Doctor in the Pandorica. And when it opened I was like he's gonna be in there. And when it was empty, I instantly knew he was going to be put in there :(

Also, I'm working on a Custom Trailer sort of for The Last Episode, and it's basic as I'm using WLMM but :p Will be up later today,tomorrow :)

The most recent episode of Doctor Who Confidential, titled Alien Abduction, included a scene where the director used music from Raiders of the Lost Ark to help the actors with pacing and mood whilst filming The Pandorica Opens.

I really enjoyed Confidential this week. Normally some of the Confidential episodes are just light hearted looks at how they make the episode of that week, but this week was just really informative about the episode and showed some interesting things outright.

Plus, I love their theme song :D

It's not exactly a spoiler as such, but here's an interesting post picking up on all the hidden "fairytale" images and threads in the first 12 episodes of the season, and speculating a bit on how they'll play out in the finale

501 The Eleventh Hour: Amelia Pond, name like a fairytale. Apples. Young woman goes on an adventure with her imaginary friend in her nightie, telling her not to grow up (Peter Pan).

502 The Beast Below: The Queen walks among the common folk. The beast that eats children is actually a big friendly giant.

503 Victory of the Daleks: A fake man turns human thanks to having emotions (Pinocchio).

504/5 Time of the Angels/Flesh & Stone: Amy Pond, dressed in a red hoody is chased by something evil through a forest. The Pandorica is a fairytale. River: Aren't we all?

506 Vampires of Venice: Innocent girls going into danger in a great big castle. To me it has a really big fairytale ring to it.

507 Amy's Choice: Rory's ultimate fairytale coming true is actually a dream.

508/9 The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood: People being taken to a different world. A city sleeping for a 1000 years.

510 Vincent and the Doctor: A beast, that seems evil and ugly actually has a lot of goodness in it, it is just misunderstood. (both references Vincent and the Krafayas)

511 The Lodger: An impossible love is brought together by something evil. A kiss breaks the curse.

General: Multiple sharp teeth reference. Evil wearing a disguise. What seems evil actually being good.

Found ^^ on Twitter :)

Interesting idea (not mine): The Alliance realise that the universe has ended around them and release The Doctor from the Pandorica, Rory puts Amy who he has shot into it to keep her alive.The Doctor then figures out that he needs Amy to remember everything that happened.The voice in the Tardis is Steven Moffat.

There are no ducks in the duck pond because the duck pond is not real - created by Amy's memories by the Alliance and thus the whole series is a trick (not a dream) to lure the Doctor to that moment.

Thats my idea too! If you take out the ducks from a duck pond you get Pond, Amy Pond.

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
