Author Topic: Dr. Who Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 03-16-2006 01:17 PM                     The latest series of Dr. Who with David Tennant as the good doctor is finally coming to American Television this Friday. I was just wondering if it is any good? The last Doctor I liked was Davidson way back when.  |  IP: Logged Dick Vaughan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1032 From: Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK Registered: Jul 2000 posted 03-17-2006 08:04 AM                        Well it appears you may have beaten us here in the UK where the new series doesn't start till later in spring . the last series with Christopher Eccleston which screened last year was excellent. This site should give you a good idea of what it's like.  |  IP: Logged Mark Ogden Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 943 From: Little Falls, N.J.

Ecceleston walked off the show after one series and has already been "regenerated" into Tennant in the UK.  |  IP: Logged Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 03-17-2006 12:06 PM                     Upon checking the BBC's web site, Mark is indeed correct.  |  IP: Logged Jamie Glossop Expert Film Handler Posts: 100 From: Nottingham Uk Registered: Jan 2004 posted 03-17-2006 12:42 PM                        David Tennant, I thought he didnt play the part of doctor who, I have all the new season with Christopher Eccleston on dvd which i think chris played an awsome part, And i notice my profile pic still havent been done  |  IP: Logged Dick Vaughan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1032 From: Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK Registered: Jul 2000 posted 03-17-2006 04:06 PM                        David Tennant is the new Doctor following Ecclestone's regeneration and was in the 2005 xmas special and the next series  |  IP: Logged Greg Mueller Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1687 From: Port Gamble, WA Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-17-2006 06:51 PM                        There is only one Doctor Tom Baker.....  |  IP: Logged David Buckley Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 525 From: Oxford, N. Canterbury, New Zealand Registered: Aug 2004 posted 03-17-2006 09:48 PM                        Disagree. I'm of an age where I have lived through all the doctors and doctors assistants, (including some VHS of times gone by) and the Eccelston / Piper crew are, in my humble opinion, the best of the lot by a wide margin. Speaking of old Doctors, I must be sad, I have one of these:  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 03-18-2006 05:42 PM                     There's information about the restoration of some of the lost episodes here and here  |  IP: Logged Mark Ogden Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 943 From: Little Falls, N.J. Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-21-2006 07:36 PM                     Cool chess set, David. Of course if you are a true, dyed-in-the-wool fan, you will bid on this eBay auction for an actual Dalek from the old series!  |  IP: Logged Carl Martin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1424 From: Oakland, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 03-22-2006 05:31 AM                        but it's only 2 feet tall! the description seems to imply that it was an actual prop, so maybe it was used for miniature scenes? it appears to be the original design, unlike the '80's daleks in the second pic. so is the scifi channel showing the episodes unedited and commercial-free? i don't think we get that channel.  |  IP: Logged Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 03-22-2006 08:01 AM                     Sci-Fi is showing them un-edited, but with commercials. Kind of annoying after years of watching them commercial free on PBS. The ran "Rose" and "End Of The World" last Friday. The new doctor is indeed quite good.  |  IP: Logged
