The DOCTOR WHO Thread

[ShyViolet]

OMG that’s awesome!!! Hugh Grant would be an amazing Doctor! Dry humor/charm combo has been known to work before, as we know, through all different iterations of the Doc.


Kinda random…this is a trailer for a really fun, sweet movie he made a few years ago called “The Rewrite.”

Some of it was actually filmed in the town I live in now (Binghamton NY) as well as the university here. (My grad school alma mater.)

Well, yes, of course he would say that…

[Randall]

We shall see.

I do think that Grant could be wonderful.

Oh my God. INCREDIBLE 11-part fan documentary (that feels completely professional and totally legit) on the history of the show.

I haven’t seen the whole thing yet, but whether you’re a new fan or a long-time Whovian, this is a simply amazing collection of facts, trivia, as well some interesting opinions on the series. (Both Classic AND Nu.)

Here’s part 1, the Hartnell era, although technically part 2 since the intro is actually part 1.

Oh, the Pertwee section is particularly well done, I thought.

[ShyViolet]

Had no idea this even existed! . Basically a drama/biopic of how DW got started in 1963 a la Saving Mr. Banks!

“An adventure in Space and Time”

I’ve got this on Blu-ray. It’s a fun watch.

[Ben]

I saw this went it went out! One of the first of these kinds of docu-dramas, and nicely done.

[Randall]

I had just read a couple of books about the origins of the show, so it came out at a perfect time for me. It was well done.

[EricJ]

It was done for the BBC 50th Anniversary marketing, but so good, you can even forgive the dated Matt Smith plug at the end.

[Daniel]

On top of being very good, it was nice to see Jessica Raine again after "Call the Midwife".

Title for the next special is "Legend of the Sea Devils" and will air Easter Sunday, April 17. Trailer:

I love panels I love panels I love panels….!!

Anyway, this is a short clip from an AWESOME one with Baker, Davison, C. Baker, and McCoy!

Ncuti Gatwa is the 14th Doctor:



Not familiar with his work, but have heard great things about Ncuti.

[EricJ]

So, just like we got the first female Doctor after "Why can't we have a female James Bond?", this would be the first black Doctor after "Why can't we have a black James Bond?"
