Terry Wogan just announced that the Professor is making a guest appearance with the Time Lord.
Not sure if TW was doing a wind up or if this has been mentioned here before.

I've not really been watching the latest one as they've definately got too Messianic "Oh Doctor, Where''s the Doctor"

Ok let me be clearer. I started watching when the real Dr (John Pertwee) was incarnated.
My dissatisfaction with the current incarnation began with the episode where the Dr's unconcious from his regeneration and Britain's PM was broadcasting a nausiating "if anyone knows where the Dr. is please help us" (Bleurrrgggjhhhhh how vomit making).
It reached a peak where the Dr had been reduced to a nobby like pixie at the hands of the Master, but his Priestess on Earth travelled all over and "SPREAD THE WORD" Yeessss Massah, the DR will save your soul, BELIEVE, BELIEVE IN DA LAWD (sorry) BELIEVE IN DAH DOCTUH and YOU WILL BE SAVED.
And Lo the DR Leapt from the cage like Christ from his tomb with the power of people's belief in him. (somebody completely nicked Terry Pratchett's Small Gods script finale).
At that point I realised the writers were heading up the same assh*le as the writers of Torchwood and shed a tear for the passing of decent sci-fi.

Ok I still watch occasionally, I don't know if it coz I'm older but I don't seem to enjoy it as much. Peter Kay in a cr*p rubber suit didn't impress me at all (in fact I was trying to figure out if the makers were just taking the p*ss completely and the whole thing wasn't just the result of someone betting they could put any old sh*t on and it would be swallowed by the fans), maybe it would have if I was 8 again.
And what was the point of kindly Dr. bringing that wench back as nothing but a face of a paving slab "we even have a sex life of sorts" yeah right I'm sure as a sentinent being she just loved existing as a sex toy that could double as a door stop. Or handy lawn ornament when her boyfriend wanted to practice his putting in the back garden

I can't watch it either. I've never taken to Dr Who,even when i was a kid. My sister's boys love the programme and are glued to it. I had to endure the Christmas edition when they were over,when Catherine Tate was in it. Imo, she makes a lousy actress.  |

And since when did a programme need a "confidential" after it to justify it's existence?? A programme should stand on it's own merit, if it's any good the fans will set up fan clubs, networks and do the work of piecing together all the info.
Dr Who Confidential is just a way for all the back room luvvies to get their faces on the box, which I don't object to as such as fair play to them for coming up with the wheeze and getting away with it.
But I don't need another programme to explain the d*mn script to me
"OH the Dr's mow-tee-vay-shun at Dis Partik-yew-lar poynt EEs Eee As the fayte of De Cosmos on de won 'and and 'is latest bit of squeeze's mum's boyfriend's washing to pick up from de lawndry"
"it a weeally cwucial mowment and piv vo tal to de bi-fur-cation of de plot
Alex said it would never work but EYYEe said dat it was Sim-bow-lic of de natuwal vissitudes of de ennui of existance so we as im pick up de lawndry"...
But like any virus it'll spread, what next?? Eastender's confidential,? News 24 Confidential, Weakest Link Confidential?? I shudder to think

It is a fact that all the best episodes in the last series were written by other writers other than Russel T Davies. He is a dangerous mixture of Gay friendly undertones and on top of that he is religious, hence the Master storyline.
The first episode of this series was cringeworthy and at least can only get better.

It hasn't been confirmed in this thread, so I'll just say that yes, it's true. Prof Dawkins is going to make a guest appearance on the show later this series. www.richarddawkins.net/article,2436,Russell-T-Davies-Return-of-the-tea-Time-Lord,Independent-UK |

I'm ridiculously excited about this! He is a dangerous mixture of Gay friendly undertones and on top of that he is religious, hence the Master storyline. Russell T Davies is an atheist. The Tinkerbell!Jesus Doctor, as it has been dubbed, was a silly effect but as most of the Christian overtones and direct references were used by the megalomanical Master you couldn't really argue they were attempts at Christian propaganda. |
