[Official] Doctor Who Thread


Recommended Posts

So the Pond's finale with DW gets it's own poster thingie and everything? At least, one assumes the Dalek episode(s) are their finale. Unless they use the Weeping Angels.

The Daleks episode is the first episode of the season so its not their last that's the 5th :p

The BBC have confirmed that Doctor Who will return on September 1 (with the series likely to air on BBC America later the same day), they?ve also released official synopses for the first three episodes!

?Asylum of the Daleks? will kick the series off on BBC One in the UK, with the next four episodes airing on the subsequent Saturdays of the month. If the BBC America schedule for that date is anything to go by, the series opener will be broadcast at 9 p.m. EST, following a marathon of series 6 (although the premiere hasn?t been officially announced for the States, the mysterious gap in an otherwise full schedule seems evidence enough).

But that?s not all! We also have the full synopsis for ?Asylum of the Daleks,? ?Dinosaurs on a Spaceship,? and ?A Town Called Mercy?!

?From Daleks to Dinousaurs and an alien with a grudge, this series features a whole host of guest stars, including: David Bradley, Rupert Graves, Stephen Berkoff, Mike McShane, Ben Browder, Adrian Scarbourgh and Anamaria Marinca.?

Doctor Who executive producer Caroline Skinner has confirmed that the show's title sequence will change every week in the new series.

Speaking to CultBox after the screening of Asylum of the Daleks at London's BFI earlier this week, Skinner told us that a new design of the Doctor Who logo will appear in the title sequence for each episode, reflecting the theme and setting of the story.

The exec revealed that she's looking forward to viewers guessing how the logo will have been tweaked each week.

I'm honestly going to be pretty ticked off if they wind up killing off the Ponds (or one or the other of them, especially Rory I mean COME ON) when they do leave in episode 5 or whatever it is. I know Moffat said it would be the "fall of the Ponds" but um, they also said that about the Doctor (about 200 billion times) and he's still going.

BTW, random thingie here. But that large blue guy that helped the Doctor towards the middle of last series etc (the one who got his head cut off and put in a box lol). Anyone else notice his line when the Doctor was leaving that cave? He says something like, "It's all waiting for you, the fields of Tramador (or something), the FALL OF THE ELEVENTH and the question" Moffat setting up the next regeneration already? I can't imagine Matt Smith doing anymore than another series after this coming one (he'd out do Tennant's run then!).

What? I think he did a great job on the show, and he's been gone now for 3 series right? If he was burnt out or something, he'll be all rested up now. Plus, he wrote Torchwood also and even though the Starz Torchwood wasn't that great (and no, I didn't find it "Americanized" I just thought the story was meh) most of Torchwood up until then was brilliant stuff really.

Also, he's gay. I don't know why that matters. :p

    • Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.
    • The AI data centers need it more than us so...let them gobble it all up at that price!
    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
