Doctor Who

God I would love this just to see Capaldi insulting all the rest whilst Jodie tries to band them all together as fam.

Is this a potential thing or just fan art? If the latter (and frankly the former) I'm dismayed by the lack of Ecclescake.

Just fan art. Eccles is never coming back. Man has entirely reasonable reasons for not wanting back tbf.

He's behind them all; it's his light they're basking in.

He's since done the audio bits though and is far too old to worry about typecasting, is it issues with RTD?

Explains the look on Matt Smith's face.

From what I gather he wasn't a fan of the people involved in that era at least. There were talks of a very questionable on set etiquette by people around him (given stuff that's come out about Barrowman over the years, I imagine it may be somewhat related to that, but that's entirely my conjecture). At the end of the day the buck stops with RTD and given his own attitudes towards things, I was always under the impression that their was an implied issue between him and RTD/other producers.

He also disliked how the BBC handled things, especially his exit, though time may have healed that wound, and the people at the BBC may have changed enough for that to be a non-factor.

More pictures have dropped of other episodes (including Groffsauces episode), and man, for the first time in forever I am really looking forward to new Who without any trepidation at all.

From what I've seen, they've dropped those teaser glitches the past couple of weeks, and the "hardcore" fans have been trying to decipher their content, the main thing to take from them is that the main trailer may drop this Saturday around Eurovision in some way, mostly because they found the numbers for that date in one of the teasers.

I wouldn't look much into these teasers, the common theory is that they are Donna regaining her memory, and if you reverse the audio (yes, seriously) there is a clip of Tennent saying "She mentioned Galifrey".

And here's that trailer

Looks like one of the three specials are based on old Tom Baker era comic story......?

I know Star Beast is, but what's the other?

My bad. I meant one of them, not two.

The funny thing is, Big Finish already did an audio adaptation of it, with Tom Baker.

[TheWho87]

Big Finish isn't canon, Doctor Who is kinda like old Star Wars, they have the main canon (the TV show) and the extended canon (everything else), many times the TV show picks from the extended canon and adds it to canon, like how Human Nature was based from a book from the wilderness years.

And if they are taking from the comics, first Beep, next Frobisher!

[GhostMachine]

I know its not canon...though Night of The Doctor sort of made Eight's (at that point) canon.

[TheWho87]

This is something for any dalek nerds out there.

 

[TheWho87]

Take this with a massive grain of salt, but there is a rumour going about that Philip Morris (the guy behind returning Enemy of the World and Web of Fear) has mentioned that the 97 (missing episodes) may be getting reduced soon.

EDIT

There are rumours it could be related to this.

WHY?!?!

Worst companion the Doctor has ever had......

 

[TheWho87]

Bit more news on the found missing episodes, in short 4-6 seem to be known, 4 in private hands, 2 found internationally, with 2-3 being known to exist sources from the guy who works on the restoration for the classic Doctor Who DVD's.
