What Who are You Currently Watching This Time?

[Tom Simpson]

Doctor Who in an exciting adventure that actualy has me scared at some points set in 1963 with the Daleks, Totters Yard, Coal Hill School, Two factions of Daleks and Dav 'Emperor Dalek' ros. Part Four.

Can ya guess what it is yet?

[shada pavlova]

Hmm...tricky.

Silver Nemesis?

[Tom Simpson]

Doctor Who and

THERE
WILL
BE
NO
BATTLE
HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

Part One.

[Andrew Curnow]

Just watched Bad Wolf, for the first time in ages. I suppose familiarity has taken a little bit of the shine off, but nevertheless a really enjoyable episode and the cliffhanger still packs a punch!

[SiHart]

I've just watched Human Nature/ The Family Blood. I can say without any doubt that to me, these two episodes are the absolute best since the show came back in 2005. Beautiful, moving and affirming of everything that's great about Doctor Who, even without the Doctor being in it much. Superb.

I particuarly like the scene where the Doctor and Martha turn up at the remembrance day service at the end, unchanged, while the boy is an old man. That bit always sends a shiver up my spine.

[P-Bal]

I did two episodes of The Seeds of Death then watched the Mark of the Rani making off. Work that one out!

[cyberchris35]

I am currently watching The Deadly Assassin and it is good so far.

Brings a tear to my eye every time...

[SiHart]

I was already in tears after the scenes between Smith and Joan.

[Pip Madeley]

Tennant's finest moment as an actor, full stop.

"If the Doctor had never visited us, if he'd never chosen this place... on a whim... would anybody here have died?"

Absolute classic moment.

[SiHart]

I might well agree with you. Just watch his eyes in that scene- he does it all without having to say a word. It's quite an astonishingly powerful moment.

watcfhed utopia the another night on bbc3

[shada pavlova]

The Invisible Enemy.

I just think it's the most brilliant story of season 15.

[Tom Simpson]

Human Nature / Family of Blood really doesn't do anything for me... though I might watch it again today to see if my opinion changes.

Anyway

*ahem*

Doctor Who and

THERE

NO
BATTLE
HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

Part Four tonight.

End of the marathon approaches.

[cyberchris35]

I am in the middle of watching Image of the Fendahl and it is a corking adventure.

Apart from the ending seeming to belong to The Lord of the Rings or something.

[Si Hunt]

The Hairy Angel frowns on your negative comments.

Si.

[Zbigniev Hamson]

Oh and also that 'old' WWI veteran looks about 65

[Zbigniev Hamson]

Also... you have to wonder why she has been given the nickname Hairy Angel. She doesn't have a beard or anything, so it suggests to me that tabloid journalists have managed to see a lot more of her than we have...

[Si Hunt]

It's because she had really hairy eyebrows. The picture I used was post-TV and post-plucking.

Oh and also that 'old' WWI veteran looks about 65

He looks 20 years older than that to me!

Si.

[Zbigniev Hamson]

Hmm. Imdb time... (although even 85 would be a bit on the young side, considering there's only about 4 of them left alive now and they all look like corpses anyway)

[Zbigniev Hamson]

Well, I decided I would watch Human Nature again seeing as I don't think I watched it since it was first broadcast. And I can't argue that it's not a great story and a great 90 minutes of television. And if it had been a one-off play about a time-travelling amoral vengeful God who became human for a few short weeks I'm sure I would have loved it. But given that it's meant to be the Doctor... maybe I'm at a disadvantage because I didn't feed off the New Adventures in the 90s, where from what I hear he acted like that all the time, but going on the evidence of the TV series Doctor Who, that's just not what his character ever was at all. Fire and Ice burning at the centre of time? Trapping people inside MIRRORS ffs? How is that the Doctor? And when the series was always about showing what WE could be like, about how the Doctor was just an ordinary man who acted in an extraordinary way, why would anyone want him to metamorphosise into this unattainable God figure that we can only worship and never actually emulate. Great TV, but shouldn't have been Doctor Who.

Oh and if the guy in the wheelchair at the end is much over 70 then I'll eat my own face

[Rob McCow]

Hmm, but that was the three-line metaphorical and probably apocryphal ending that Tim gives.

[SiHart]

The Doctor's new found Godhood and all this "lonely angel" stuff is one of the few gripes I have with the series as it stands at the moment. It's only happened since the books took over from the TV series in the 90s and it still doesn't feel right to me. I don't mind him being lonely but I don't undersatnd why he's become a god like figure. Somehow being an errant traveller in time made him more special to me.
