The Random Doctor Who Thread

[Nyder]

Wow he certainly doesn't look it!

"Ahhhhh, well these days I could easily pass for 86..."

[Dirk Gently]

I can now see why you guys write in to DWM, it's so nice seeing your name in print & being associated with our favourite programme. It gives a nice warm glow...or is that the alcohol?

[Stuart Wallis]

You know what this lot are like - pour a few bottles of whisky over the carpet, drop a lit match... One instant warm glow...

Frontios's Peter Gilmore has died, which sadly means that not a single story from the original story has their full cast alive now

[Dave Tudor]

That's sad news, and I was quite shocked by that fact, Si - I tried thinking of McCoy stories in which the entire cast was still alive, but you're right, even they all feature at least one actor who is no longer with us.

"Dr. Who" star Matt Smith is ready to cross the Atlantic to make his U.S. acting debut, taking the male lead in the Ryan Gosling-directed pic "How to Catch a Monster."
Pic currently stars Christina Hendricks and Eva Mendes, and will mark Gosling's directing debut.

Marc Platt and Adam Siegel will produce on behalf of Marc Platt Prods., along with Gosling via his Phantasma Films banner, and Michel Litvak and David Lancaster via the Bold Films banner.

Story is set against the surreal dreamscape of a vanishing city and centered on a single mother of two being swept into a macabre and dark fantasy underworld while her teenage son discovers a secret road leading to an underwater town. Production is set to start this spring.

The UTA and Troika-epped Smith has starred in a handful of BBC and British productions but never a stateside movie.

His third season of playing the Doctor recently wrapped and he also recently directed the short film "Cargese" for Sky Arts series Playhouse Presents.

Ooh!

[Stuart Wallis]

Marc Platt Prods.

Does he? Don't get too close, ladies!

What would happen to Jack Harkness if he was shot by the Tissue Compression Eliminator? Would he survive but stay small, or would he eventually grow back to normal size?

And is Derrick Sherwin actually Steven Moffat from the future?

[Dirk Gently]

I always thought that Jack was hit by the complete opposite, the Tissue Expansion Eliminator. It would explain the Face of Boe being so large.

There's no answer to that!

[Antony Cox]

We currently have both Tom Baker and Ben Jackson working in our office. There's also a Jon Wiles in another building.

They get everywhere!

[Stuart Wallis]

I'll call the nit nurse then...

[Antony Cox]

Silly Stuart!

[Stuart Wallis]

Have you met him? I'm not that daft!

Matt Smith has been moaning about his team, Blackburn:

Doctor Who's Matt Smith says owners killing Blackburn Rovers

Didn't know he was a Rovers fan!

When has cricket been referenced in Doctor Who?

[Rob McCow]

Human Nature, about half an hour in.

When has cricket been referenced in Doctor Who?

Mentioned & played in Black Orchid.

[Stuart Wallis]

The Doctor uses a cricket ball to distract the defence mechanism in The Ark In Space.

[Dino]

And Four To Doomsday. That was the first thing I thought of. Despite Black orchid being a more blatant example of cricket.

[Antony Cox]

What about Invasion of the Cricket Pitch, that lesser known lost story from Season 19?

[Stuart Wallis]

What, the one the BBC wouldn't show because it featured streakers?

[Leah Betts]

Yes, seeing the footage of Peter Davison in his birthday suit was quite a shock...
