Dr Who

[Yalewen]

Yeah Anne, me and my boyfriend were both like  when Jack said he was the Face of Boe, teehee! Would have been nice to see The Master regenerate and see more in the next series from John Simm but what can you do? 
I read on the BBC that Katherine Tate is the new companion, and Freema is returning halfway through series 4.. The Christmas special looks good, Kylie Minogue is supposed to be in it.

[Elwood]

wow well dr who this season has deinitely redeemed it itself!!
starting off from that crying angels episode it got better and better!!
and the master will definitely return, though perhaps not in john simm's body
my friend had an awesome theory about that, apparently the master regenerated into his wife, who then shot the body, and that was the master in the form of his wife who picked up the ring at the end... which means he will be able to return... (or something like that, i'll need to get him to explain it again )

i was so shocked too that jack was the face of boe!!! though my brother is so dim... he was like huh? whats the significance of that? 
but my question is, why didnt the face of boe reveal himself as captain Jack when they'd met?? perhaps he was embaressed cos he wasn't handsome anymore

and yeah catherine tate is the new assisstant.... *evils*
and martha is due to appear in 3 episodes of Torchwood, as well as making an appearance in dr who

Yeah I reckon the Master is still alive..I watched it again with my bf this evening..the ring...dun dun dun! Argh I actually can't wait for the new series..except for Donna..I think that's her name.  I hope she's toned down a bit.. lol.

I think Freema was much classier than Billie.  They're not in the same league.  (Did anyone else stick their fingers down their throats at her poor attempt at playing Fanny in Mansfield Park?)   Martha is feisty and more than a match for the Doctor.  All hail DT!!!!

I'm really looking forward to the Christmas special....at least we'll know there's something worth watching on Christmas Day!

[Lessa]

I have to agree with you about Freema and Billie. I too preferred Freema, she was very feisty but in a gentile way rather than up front and in your face.

Roll on Christmas Day!  Now there's something I never thought I'd hear myself say before December

[Berlewen]

It will be interesting to see Freema in Torchwood when the next series starts.  I've heard she pitches up half way through the series. 

I sometimes think that RTD didn't expect Freema to be so good and that was why they planned for Catherine Tate to reprise her role of Donna....  However, looks like the next series might be put on hold because DT is playing Hamlet for the RSC.  Now I would love to see that! 

[Anne]

Hamlet with a sonic screwdriver eh? 

*goes off to Google hawks and handsaws to see if they have anything to do with Dr Who*

And totally agree with you about Billie Piper in Mansfield Park - you can take the girl out of the estuary but you can never take the estuary out of the girl.

Completely off topic, so please excuse me.  I think, Anne, that no one does costume drama better than the BEEB.  Although I'm not too sure I like the liberties they took with Jane Eyre last year....

[Anne]

I'm going doolally - could've sworn there was a whole thread about Jane Eyre on here somewhere but can I find it?  Anyway, quick summary was liked him, liked her, didn't like the fact that they'd cut out half the good lines, was most upset not to see Tobias cross dressing.

[Lessa]

What happened at the end? 

[little lurker]

I think the next one they have lined up to play the doctor is Stephen Tompkinson.

[Lessa]

really?? Where did you hear that? Not seen or heard anything about this.

[little lurker]

It's that massive forehead of his, I thought they were morphing the doctor into tompkinson, I just hope it's not van der beek.  That would be horrible.

[Lessa]

I don't think we have seent he last of David. I think that second out of phase will be very important
