My most hated (mebbe a bit strong) Doctor was Sylvester McCoy, just could not stomach him in the role, maybe it was because I'd grown out of it (I'm an older guy like you 2, 49) and had fond memories of Tom Baker.

With you 100% there, and Ace as well. My god she was a dreadful assistant.  I remain convinced to this day that McCoy was given the role with the express purpose of wrecking the show so they could cancel it.

Storylines were stupid as well, imperial daleks vs renegade daleks, cybermen who were more camp than scary, too reminiscent of 1960's England (complete with 'no blacks allowed' signs in shop windows etc.)

And lets not forget this... thing.

Ugh, did they really have to have Bill for the Xmas special?

I am kind of glad that she'll let the Doctor know that she's alive, after what happened.

The "Kandyman" actually, BBC wouldn't want to encroach on copyright even though it's obviously the same character.

i'd watch an episode of star trek tos over any of the new dr who's, any day. what's pees me of is how the bbc hypes up their programs...it's so annoying. making dr who seem like the best sci-fi show ever....when it's not. yes, they revived it, we get it and it's a classic, but the new ones are just so overrated and repetitive compared to the old ones.

 

to think the license fee keeps this show going...ughhhh. i can't be the only once who thinks it's hyped up way too much, cus when you watch it, it's average at best.

Might have been cringy (it was, quite a lot lol) but god damn if you didn't care about the Doctor and Rose or Martha or Donna etc. I mean, I loved Amy and Rory (and Clara but to a lesser extent, same with Bill mostly) but not the same way as the others in the rebooted series (especially Rose, sorry Rose haters!).

Clara for me ... before she became irresponsible and reckless.

AKA Doctor Lite

 

For me of the new companions, I'd say Rose. She was down to Earth, had a heart of gold (most of the time) and (to me) was beautiful. Also, her hair. Clara would be last for me, she just didn't do anything for me. Amy, man them gingers :D and Bill was OK but they never really did anything with her in her one single season except the usual OH WOW THERE ARE ALIENS AND STUFF OUT THERE AMAAZZZZINGGGG :p

 

Oh and Rory was kinda hot also. Not that I'm gay or anything. Not that there's anything wrong with that....Oh and Martha, almost forgot her and Donna! Martha was pretty cool, just again never really did anything with her or Donna except the save the world stuff and merging thingy.

The ending in the battle for Canary Wharf still gets me every time :cry::cry:

As for companions, my heart belongs to Amy Pond.

I don't think I could pick between Tenant's Dr and Rose or Smiths Dr and Amy, they were both amazing in their own way.

    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design

      There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear

      Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.

      Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
