You can set up a poll when you first create a thread but i don't belive you can set one up after you've made it. You could ask Eldo - he might be able to work something out as an Admin.

Oh, and - Shroom World????

Thanks Squach I shall start pestering Eldo about it at the first opportunity (then blaming you for it). 'Shroom World is just a bit of fun, my latest artisitic flight of fancy. (And it was an excuse to try out the Tardis model) There just aren't enough giant mushroom worlds in sci-fi!

Oh wow I thought it was something you got from the Doctor Who website, or a picture from that 3d game you can download!!

I like the flying lily-pads in the sky! (Are they flying?)

Yup flying lilypads- in my mind they use photosynthisis to produce helium and their leaves have helium bladders so they can float above the mushrooms!

Leela and the Doctor, in "The Face of Evil"

Almost done w/ the 10th doctor! But I'm a bit confused about the Doctor and the Master's relationship. Where does the animosity come from?
AND in which episode does Martha stop traveling w/ the doctor? I must have missed it somewhere...

Martha left after the whole 'year that wasn't thing' when the Master had the Doctor captive and ancient. She joined UNIT and made a couple of reappearances. Supposedly she then left UNIT and married Mickey (Rose's old boyfriend) and they wen off fighting aliens together- which is whats alluded to in Tennants final episode when he goes to see them before he regens.

The Doctor and the Master is a tangled web. They were childhood friends, grew up together and played on each others family estates. The Master did better than the Doctor at the Academy too.
But the future Time Lords from the Last Days of the Time War implanted a signal back in time to when the Master was a child at the Academy, the students had to stand before the Untempered Schism, the future Time Lords implanted a message, a steady four beats into his head- it slowly but surely drove him mad over the course of his life.

Ahem. If I may intrude...

It is not possible under the current forum hierarchy to create a poll in the middle of a topic, BUT it is perfectly possible to edit the opening post of a thread and add a poll that way. Or create a new thread with a poll. It's quite simple; when you're creating/editing the first post you scroll down, it gives you an option to add a poll, and you are allowed to add the options you want and check/uncheck boxes to configure voting.

Hope that helps!

Thanks Baingil- I'll not bother, not worth starting an entire new thread for really.

Classic Quotes Part 2.

I'm the Doctor. Who are you and why are you shooting at me?
The Doctor, in "The Face of Evil"

Doctor Who short. This was written by 11year olds in a nationwide schools competition run by the BBC.

Tim Minchin comedy musician performs the Doctor Who theme at the comedy proms (got to love the whoops from the crowd as they recognize the tune)




And I rather love this idea. A worldwide internet orchestra of talented youngsters united by love of Who. What could be better in the world?





A nice tribute vid to Amy and the Doctor. Contains spoilers for series 5 and 6. Talking of which you started on series 5 yet Tin?

just about to! I've finished all of the Tennant episodes (except for school reuninon, but that's just because I can't find it anywhere!) So I'll probably rewatch EoT pt. 2 and then the 11th hour

School Reunion is not a very good episode regards plot but boy for an old Whovian its an emotional one- all the more so since the sad loss of Elisabeth Sladen.

This isn't a site I know but seems ok apart from being in all foreign lingo (the episode isnt but it does have mandarin subtitles or some such)- still I'd recommend going armed with ad blocks and virus protection!

Congrats Petty for managing to keep this thread going during the off-season of Who, as well as recruiting new fans! I do love a bit of Doctor Who. Great show. School reunion- now is that the one where K9 dies? Wasn't the best of episodes, can't really remember it though. Haha, just be careful Tin, with all these sites that Petty's sending you to! We don't want the Queen to die for sure!

I do try Ally, the path of a Who fan is fraught with perils, and a bit timey-wimey, but we soldier on spreading the word! (And yes school reunion has K-9 in it)

Yeah it is the most popular and mine favorite too

Welcome to the forum Codie. Whovians are particularly wlecome of course as just being one displays a certain steadfastness of character, wisdom and maturity of mind- or your 4 and like being scared by the monsters- eithers is good its what makes Who great!

Welcome Codie, hopefully you're not from XRUMER clan y'know!

Matt Smith picked up the Best sci-fi Actor award at the Scream Awards. Never heard of them myself and no idea how big or not the award is stateside but the competition he was up against was pretty good so well done Matt and well done Who!
But why didn't Karen win best actress? Didn't they watch the Girl Who Waited?

See, this never has happened before (I think ) Because Doctor Who was never broadcasted in America before, but now that it has been, I suspect a few more awards to head its way! And the scream awards aren't really a huge deal, they're kind of a popularity contest more than anything, like the MTV awards. But yay for Matt! Beat out alot of hotties w/ bodies! Perhaps there's some hope for American teens... (sadly that includes myself! )
