Doctor Who [6]

that dude has a Tolkien Elven tattoo on his wrist, its the number 9 I think

nope. not elvish. i think it might be greek. or something other nerdiness.

I reckoned Moffat as going to make this as painful to watch as possible- and by the sounds of that Norc thats exactly what he is going to do to us.   MOFFAT!!!!  


"Matt was in brilliant form at the read through for this year’s Christmas Special, written by Steven Moffat. In fact, seeing him back in action as the Doctor made us want to fast forward to November to see the eagerly awaited 50th anniversary special!
Tweets on the read-through were also made by DWM editor Tom Spilsbury: "The Doctor Who Christmas readthrough was lovely - and rather moving. Matt Smith has been a terrific Doctor, but he's also a true gentleman." Make-up designer Claire Pritchard said: "Quite an emotional day at the doctors today he was reading a story." Having been working on Steven Moffat's other series, Sherlock, she added: "Is it rude and disloyal to leave a consulting detective for a Doctor I feel dirty!xx "- DW website

was it the moment he realized he wasnt Joe Gilgun but this Capaldi fellow? that would be frighteningl.

Norc wrote:

Well, of course it's frightening! Everyone in their right mind would be scared if they knew or sensed that their regeneration is about to happen soon.

I don't wanna watch a Christmas Special with a gloomy Matt Smith

I dont think it will be gloomy, emotional yes, but Moffat doesnt tend to write pure gloom.

no its more depressing than gloomy

Ive never found Moffat's writing to be gloomy. Its just not his style. It can e dark, or it can be sinister (Angels, Silence ect) but not gloomy. I dont think Who has ever been gloomy, its basically an optimistic show.

unless you happen to be Amy, then its a barrel of laughs.

what is it with me and missing Ps?

unless you hapen to be Amy, then its a barrel of laughs.- Mrs Figg

There we differ Figg, I dont find Amy's story gloomy at all, difficult yes, often uncomfortable, yes, but not gloomy.

Nice vid-

Good anniversary vid-

she has a gloomy time, with a gloomy husband, and ends up with a gloomy ending. gloomy gloomy gloomy.

As I said there we differ- I dont think she has only a gloomy time- she also has a lot of fun otherwise she wouldnt say things like "Ive missed this".
Rory is one of my all time favourite Who characters- I dont find him in the slightest gloomy and I find the ending moving and fitting

Does that link work outside the Uk, anyone?

Nice vid for the Tennant finale the End of Time-



Anyone tested that link for me yet?

Tried the link for you Petty and I got redirected to the main TV page on that site.  The options they had listed were mostly local American TV stations.  I tried searching for BBC One through the site's search function and it came up empty.
