    As we've been talking viewing figures, the 28 day figures for the first two episodes are out and they have more than doubled the overnight ones.

    They're making a CBeebies Dr Who cartoon for young kids, so it doesn't seem like the show is over, no matter what any YouTubers might try and tell you.

    I have heard rumours Tennant will return again... On reflection Tennant should have finished with 50th anniversary that was a great way to say good bye.

    We need a new show runner who is not stuck in there own past.

    Rumours aren't fact though, I'd be very surprised if Tennant turned up again. I take your point with regards to Piper though.

    For the time being, I am going to assume this is some left over tampering from The Celestial Toymaker. He did make that comment about making a jigsaw of the Doctors life, or something like that.

    The Producers need to understand the difference between regenerate and recycle

    Regernerate - bring new and more vigorous life to

    Recycle - return (material) to a previous stage in a cyclic process

    Just one example of series 5 being the GOAT of modern Who.

    60 years ago today, the Doctor took a trip back to 1066 and met another of his kind...

    Being one of my personal favourites from the Hartnell era, I might mark the occasion by watching part 1 later.

    Rewatching the Davidson era, was never an era I liked though fast forward I am having a renewed appreciation when you compare it to the last two era's.

    When i saw Tom Baker regenerate as a kid i was devastated as i was very invested in his Doctor, Peter was such a stark contrast back in 1981 I never took to him in the role.

    The one scene I remember most fondly was the cricket ball in space!

    During Peter's era the production was still ok, I enjoyed Castrovalva and the exploration of the Tardis and finding the Zero room. I felt the Zero room was cheaply used in The Reality War, admittedly that episode is a hilarious mess and enjoyable for all the wrong reasons.

    I used to love Davison but I’ve gone off him a little recently. He’s very good, but I’m not sure why his Doctor was written as being so humourless.

    I'm not a massive fan of the 5th Doctor, he's a bit... meh, for me, but The Caves Of Androzani is first rate Doctor Who. And then there's Nyssa. :x

    As a kid Nyssa, Romana 1 and Victoria were my favourites.

    Dodo my least favourite, so irritating.

    Years later Jo Grant has grown on me.

    Shame there’s no samples of the new effects, I guess they’re not done yet

    Just saw this. We still don't have a full Troughton series yet, but it's damn close.
