    Dr Who - 2017 series

    The character of James Bond is very much a man and a woman playing 'James Bond' would just be silly, but the introduction of a completely new character into the franchise, who is a woman and takes Bond's 007 tag after he retires, might work.

    Dr Who - 2017 series

    How does that work? Do the Cybermen have a time machine because Mondas I'm assuming is a human colony world and in the 'current year' as you put it humans don't have the technology to move to other planets. Thus the original Mondas Cybermen are from the future, or do I need to have watching...

    Dr Who - 2017 series

    You remind me of a moment in Red Dwarf (one of the first 2 series I think): "The thing about space is it's black, and the thing about black holes is they're black" or something like that. There was something about the scanner scope being black too I seem to recall.

    Davros is Back !!! (Doctor Who)

    Translator yes, universal no. I'm thinking in particular of when River Song was showing Amy that she was Melody Pond, the language on the Doctor's cot wouldn't translate, but the Gamma Forest language did. Presumably, the Time Lords don't need the TARDIS to translate their own language.

    Davros is Back !!! (Doctor Who)

    So the doctor lied, but I thought the veil was supposed to be able to tell if the doctor was making a genuine confession :rolleyes: As for Clara and Ashildr being able to fly a TARDIS, doesn't fairly ordinary* humans being able to fly it without the doctor telling them what to do destory the...

    Davros is Back !!! (Doctor Who)

    I know you used to be able to download, using a 'for portable devices' link which gave a fairly low-res file which would play in Windows Media Player (had some episodes of Great British Railway Journeys that way). That feature was removed though I think. That still exists? I had the...

    Davros is Back !!! (Doctor Who)

    I too miss the repeats, means I have to chuck anyone else off the TV on Saturday nights since there isn't a second chance later in the week (previous series were repeated at 7pm on BBC 3 on the Sunday if I recall correctly, and sometimes on the Friday as well, but no repeats now). No PVR in our...

    Davros is Back !!! (Doctor Who)

    She's not Captain Jack. I seem to recall in the episode when she was a highwayman the Doctor said something about her not being industructable, she just doesn't age and heals injuries quickly. Yes, that is probably the most odd thing about that scene. The Doctor is supposed to be really...

    Davros is Back !!! (Doctor Who)

    It could clearly get through any barrier, but if it went into the stasis pod wouldn't it get frozen in time too? And the countdown tattoo on Clara's neck should also be frozen if she was in stasis. As for the latest episode, I'm confused. The robot corpse thingy seemed to know if the doctor was...

    Davros is Back !!! (Doctor Who)

    A possible plot mistake with Clara's death, she was talking earlier in the episode about buying time, then when she discovers she's going to die they are in the room with a stasis pod thingy. I thought the doctor would at any moment have a brainwave and shove Clara in the stasis pod to buy time...

    Davros is Back !!! (Doctor Who)

    In the anniversary special, there were two Kates as well as two Osgoods, but I can't remember if we've seen what happened to the other Kate. I was half expecting the Kate we see in these two episodes to turn out to be the Zygon one and then be replaced by the human one.

    Doctor Who Series 8

    The message at the end of the program, giving the title of the next episode, seems to suggest no new series in 2015: just a special or two.

    Doctor Who Series 8

    Really, I thought you would have prefered the episode with Daleks. Its a while ago now, but I think I prefered that one. Well, the doctor didn't fire the laser thingy did he? It looked more like the master/mistress teleported, although maybe only into the nethersphere thingy. Was rather...

    Doctor Who Series 8

    I did notice the ring at the end of the one with the paradox machine, but that wasn't the last related episode, where the character disappeared (I can only guess as to where he/she disappeared to, but my guess was into the time-locked time-war).

    Doctor Who Series 8

    Somebody who disappeared, without any reason I noticed, and has now re-appeared without explanation. Hopefully these questions will be answered next week.

    Doctor Who Series 8

    An Orient Express. From the trailer at the end of last week's episode, it looks as if the Orient Express in Doctor Who travels through outer-space, not along rails.

    Green Party and Future Rail Projects

    Do they give a reason for their lack of support? Do they support the principal but not the government's actual plan or are they opposed to the very idea of a new line? That is the hard part of nationalising the railways, and probably the biggest reason for doing it. I would suspect leglislation...

    Doctor Who Series 8

    I think it was the plot that failed last night. Can't remember them right now, but there were some sillies like the gravity on the David Tennant 'Impossible Planet' two-parter. Also, I agree that taking Clara home in EVERY episode is a bit excessive. And are they going to get round to explaining...

    Doctor Who Series 8

    I did think they should have done a bit more thinking as to why it was good before they went and healed it. A bit of a plot hole there, adding a line like "this radition could be what's causing the dalek to be good, but we haven't time to think it through or the radition will kill us" might have...
