bbc [Official] Doctor Who Thread

[Dark_ph0enix]

I've been thinking about this - you want my take on it? I think it shows the 8th incarnation of The Doctor, regenerating into the 9th.

Think about it - we never saw the regeneration. When the series 'restarted' with Eccleston, he'd not long regenerated. It was never specifcally spelled out, but lines the character says, lead weight to the theory that he'd only recently arrived 'in that form'

Given that it's a bit part of Doctor Who history, you'd think the BBC would want to show it.

Then there's Paul McGann.

Although Paul McGann continued to work after his stint as the Doctor, he was never in anytying 'high profile' - until 2010, when he appeared in the BBCs Jonathan Creek. He also appeared, as a main character in Luther - again, a BBC production. Over the years, McGann has appeared at Doctor Who conventions, occasionally dressed like 'his version' of the Doctor. Until about 18 months ago, when he started appearing like this:

All McGann has said on the sudden 're-design' [From what I can gather] is that the new 'look' had been put together with the 'approval' of the BBC. And that's not all - the BBC also worked with McGann, and Weta Studios, to re-design the 8th Doctors sonic screwdriver:

Interesting, No? Well how about this - BBC Seven have put together a 10 part Audio play, where McGann voices the 8th Doctor - that will address the period after events in the TV Movie - and how it'll lead into the character regenerating into the 9th Doctor.

Truth: It's likely that Moffat & Co. aren't planning on showing us the 8th incarnation of The Doctor - but it's always fun to theorise :)

An alternate version of the Doctor Who Series 6 trailer can currently be seen on BBC1. It is identical to the online one released yesterday, however there is one difference. In the online one, there is a scene of the TARDIS console exploding. While the alternate version sees that scene replaced with a close-up of the nasty looking alien in the suit. See it in the video below.

Thanks to online retailers, we have some juicy new details on Series 6 of Doctor Who. The following is the summary for the Series 6: Part 1 DVD, which contains the first seven episodes:

The Doctor returns, alongside newly weds Amy and Rory, to face monsters and mysteries and adventures all across time and space, in a thrilling new series of Doctor Who.

Together they?ll find themselves in sixties America, battling the invasion the world forgot, then journey on the high seas of 1696 aboard a pirate ship, to solve the mystery of the Siren. In a bubble universe at the very edge of reality, the Doctor will meet an old friend with a new face, and in a monastery on a remote island in the near future, an industrial accident will take on a terrible human shape. And waiting for them, at the end of all this, is the battle of Demon?s Run, and the Doctor?s darkest hour. Can even the truth about River Song save the Time Lord?s soul?

Only two things are certain. Silence will fall. And a good man is going to die?

The DVD and Blu-ray are to be released on 11th July, according to Amazon.

New 'Doctor Who'

will be 'scariest yet'

Steven Moffat has claimed that the new series of Doctor Who will be scarier than the last run.

In an interview with the ABC TV Blog, the showrunner compared future episodes of the BBC drama to a "ghost train".

"Last year we reassured you [but] this year to hell with that - we're going to worry the hell out of you," he said. "[The monsters are] scary. Very scary.

"There's the Silence in [episodes] one and two, the Siren in episode three, the Gangers in five and six, [and] all these are more than just freaky costumes and masks. There are scary ideas here."

Moffat, who previously described opening episode 'The Impossible Astronaut' as "a belter", also revealed that the next seven episodes will have a stronger overall arc.

"Oh, there's a big story being told this year, and major mysteries from the very off," he confirmed. "We're barely ten minutes into episode one before our heroes face a dilemma that they'll be staring at months from now. And there will be no easy answers."

The new series of Doctor Who begins on April 23 on BBC One in the UK and BBC America in the US.

Sightings of the Silents or indications of their presence in Series 5:

The Eleventh Hour - While hanging from the TARDIS, the Doctor looks up into it and for a couple of seconds has a confused look on his face. Also, just how did Tennant's Sonic get in that room? Also, when Rory and Amy exit the elevator on the second floor of the hospital, Rory glances behind him at something, but when he looks back towards Amy, he shakes his head like he forgot something. It is about 42:49. In the scene at the end of the episode where Amy goes into the TARDIS for the first time. there's one point where she leans back on the console and is looking around the room. The camera is pointed towards her face, so we can't see what she's looking at. She looks around with a sort of awe-struck smile, but then her eyes linger over something and her expression turns into a look of horror. She starts breathing really quickly and turns as if to get the Doctor's attention, but as soon as she's facing him she just asks, perfectly normally, "Why me?", as if she'd completely forgotten about what she'd just seen. Also, she flicks a TARDIS button/switch/lever at this point. Accidental Amy or something meaningful?

The Beast Below - At around 9:25 a black figure walks past Amy, she looks confused/scared for a couple of seconds then shrugs it off.

Victory of the Daleks - Near the end after the Daleks escape, the Doctor moves slowly backwards, as he gets near to the green framed window/doorway he looks to his left with a shock. The camera then switches to Amy and Churchill who both stare to the Doctor's left with a look of shock before Amy continues on as normal with the line "Doctor, it's OK you did it, you stopped the bomb."

The Lodger - At 21:47 for a couple of shots Amy looks in the distance or at the screen and gasps, then shouts for the Doctor's attention but he doesn't listen. She looks away and shakes it off.

Vampires of Venice - At the end when Rory, Amy, and the Doctor are standing by the TARDIS, the TARDIS door is open and then shuts on it's own.

The Big Bang - There are cloaked figures behind the Sarcophagi in the museum; a third figure moves out of shot at the edge of the screen at about 13:31
