And the Emperor Dalek is in fact Davros!

That's not necessarily true.

I think it would be more technically correct to say:

The novelty roll-on shaped Dalek is actually Davros.

Dove Davros. Doveros.

Billie's coming back!

Now, to make my plan complete!

Does anyone have the number of Sophie Aldred's agent?

Two stories involving clones in a row. They could've thought that through slightly better.

It was a decent episode on Saturday, but it could've been a bit stronger and maybe should've come a bit later in the series.

Nah, you leave the latter half of the series for the better episodes, its a formula thats worked so far on Who

But Russell is writing the last four this year, so that's that theory [probably] shot to shit!

Why cant he leave things alone? Damn him

If he is leaving, this could be his last chance for a big swan-song, and I think this series may have been structured around that.

It doesn't necessarily follow that what Davis does will be bad, but the end of the last series, Voyage of the Damned and the opener of this series have me being sceptical that the end of this series will be any good.

We'll just have to wait and see I guess, and I hopefully I'll end up eating my words!

Awesome, if Rusty is doing them that means at least 3 of the final 4 episodes will have crappy cop out deus ex machina endings then.

To be honest, I didn't have a problem with the solution in either Parting of the Ways or Doomsday, but Last of the Timelords was utter bobbins.

Hmmm. Doctor and Donna go back to (around) 33AD, where the Doctor gets grassed up to the Romans by Rose Tyler who happens to have travelled there from the parallel universe she got left in.

Her doing this finally lets RTD get to have the Doctor as the sacrifice on the cross, fulfilling all his earlier attempts to portray the Doctor as the ultimate Messiah. Sadly, RTD drowns in a pool of his own fanwank.

Could happen.

Ok, it couldn't, but I will be very surprised if he doesn't attempt to have the Doctor in some sort of Messianic light, with 'magic' or 'will of the people' as the cop-out. That's why Last of the Time Lords was cack for me, even GollumDoc wasn't that bad, but everyone saying they believe in fairies...sorry, the Doctor, was pushing it for me.

Dr Who fan in knitted puppet row.

Wouldn't that be 0AD? <eg>

Jesus was born in 0AD (debatable) and was crucified in his late 20s/early 30s around 33AD.

Sorry, bad attempt at a joke - It's a very common misconception that AD means 'after death' instead of 'Anno Domani' (year of our Lord). That's what the <eg> was for, and since Doctor Who is known for not always taken itself too seriously..

And I think it would actually be 1AD since the Gregorian calendar doesn't have a zero.. But I could be totally off on that one.

Oh right. Though, I've never heard anyone say AD stood for 'after death'.

In Doctor Who terms, though, it could stand for 'after Davies'.

I thought it was After Davros?

After Davidson.

Maybe it's just a North American thing? A lot of the people I've spoken to (not that I have daily conversations about it) have thought since BC meant 'before Christ', AD meant 'after death'.


As for Doctor Who terms.. I'm not looking forward to the time when it stands for 'after David' :/

Axe Donna would be my guess.

They did a feature o this about an hour ago on BBC News and a BBC spokeman said they'd like to talk to the woman that made the patterns with a view to offering her a licensing deal. And she phoned during the interview!

Far more interesting was that following this story about breaching copyright was a story about Pete Doherty's return to the stage last night complete with footage taken on someone's phone at the show. Doesn't that breach copyright?

No, because you have to be famous for something other than being a waste of space to have a copyright.

Do we have any idea what the big bad at the end of this season is?

Not specifically, but I can guess.

And if you do, please remember to use spoiler tags!

I'm keeping it myself, but let's face it, it's a pretty obvious educated guess.

I reckon it'll be Stavros. He'll slice up Doner.

I heard it was going to be Dave Ross.

Actually, I'm not seeing it as *that* obvious. I've got a couple of ideas, but would appreciate some other "thoughts"...

Steampunk Dalek:

Well I do know of a website that so far has been proven correct in all its theories and Ive read what they believe will happen in the rest of the season including the final episodes. They also have outlines for the 3 big stories that will come in 2009 - huge spoilers all round.

I wont post it here unless you want me to but I believe many of you have probably already been there.

The unnamed 12th Episode is apparently called War on Skaro as lots of memorabilia/toys with that name have appeared for preorder on some websites. Those scamps at Digital Spy have posted some fake reviews of the toys to wind up the hardcore Who fanboys. Pretty funny IMO!


SPOILER ALERT FOR THE LINK!

I might have a gander, the only one i go on really is OG, well, it's now DWF

Well that was good. Though next week's looks much better, Steven Moffatt time!

Witty and enjoyable, jolly good fun.

I am a little concerned by next week's trailer though. I've been counting down to Moffatt week, but that looked a little ropey.

It's probably for the best that my expectations have been lowered slightly, fingers crossed for it to blow me away.

Tonight's was a cute and clever episode, I thought. Very enjoyable.

Apart from the ropey CGI, I enjoyed it.

Do you think they're going to attempt yet another Doctor Who spinoff? I hope not considering the similarities..

'Jenny the Vampire Slayer', you mean.

Sadly, yes. I think that's exactly what they're going to try and do.

I really think it's more likely that she will be a future companion, but what do I know?

As for the new episode, I thought it was a nice bit of fun. And I too thought the trailer for the next episode looked a bit shit, but hopefully Moffat won't dissapoint.

The school biology skeleton in a space suit did look a bit naff, but the "Stay out of the shadows!" line worked for me!

As for The Unicorn and the Wasp, I wasn't hugely taken with it, but I thought Fenella Woolgar was very good.

I'll be watching it tonight.. Usually some nice person has Youtubed it come Sunday so that's what I plan on doing before hitting the hay for work in the am.

That was a pretty decent episode. A bit of a dodgy ending but otherwise quite funny and very cleverily used Agatha Christie's work in the plot.

Was I the only one to spot the ginger beer joke? That was probably the best gag of the series.

I didn't get the ginger beer straight away then my mate was like 'well whats it rhyming slang for?' and i got it. Funny considering that characters flashback bit

If that's what you're referring to. Otherwise i look like some sort of prejudiced muthafucka.

That was indeed the gag.

It was funny as The Doctor said it perfectly innocently but the footman took it the wrong way even though it was technically right in his case.

I'll have to rewatch it... Did see the look.

I enjoyed it, although the wasp was a bit dodgy!

Quite a good episode, the only thing that let it down was the wasp

It could have been worse though.

Think Wirrn...
