The Doctor Who thread

Christmas Special on boxing day. So exciting

The 'Finally' moment was good.

edit the rest was pretty good the kind of stuff you'd expect from Moffat when he was a writer.

Moffat quits and there won't be any new episodes until 2017

So it turns out classic TF artist Andrew Wildman has worked on the Doctor Who TV series, including doing storyboards for Day Of The Doctor that have recently been making the news rounds because they depict Christopher Eccleston's Doctor taking part in the story.

For a bit of "new classic" Doctor Who, ABC2 (channel 22) is playing the Eccleston Doctor episodes from tonight at 7.30pm, and looks to be weeknights from then on.
I wonder if they'll go through the entire new series run, as that should take a few months to do now, with nine seasons of episodes to screen.

Yeah, saw it tonight. He's the first doctor I watched.

Huh... just realised that the High Gallifreyan language lacks the "soft ch" (tʃ) consonant (e.g. chin, church, witch etc.). They only have the "hard ch," which is more like /k/ (e.g. stomachache, choir, chemistry etc.). It'd be interesting to hear how a Time Lord's accent would sound like without the Tardis' Translation Matrix around. We know that Gallifreyans have different accents, as the Ninth Doctor implied that he speaks with a Northern Gallifreyan accent, which the Translation Matrix renders as a Northern English accent to English speakers like Rose Tyler etc. And presumably all the other accents that we hear in the Doctor's other incarnations must be approximations made by the Tardis to whatever their equivalent Gallifreyan accents would be. I guess the Twelfth Doctor must speak with something equivalent to a Scottish accent. <shrugs>
