~~~ Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Was chatting to my brother the other week, and he's heard a rumour that the second half of the season will be much like the first (and low cost to run). Reckons that the money is all being held back for the 50th anniversary (of which we've heard nothing) to max out the CGI and have a multi doctor special. Can't see that working at all. How many of the living Doctor's would come back for the special? Tennant is an obviously one, Ecclestone has said a few times he isn't interested 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Lanarkshire Jag Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The new credits have homages to past efforts, such as the McCoy asteroid, Baker tunnel and the Davison starfield. New console as they moved studios and the last one whilst looking nice was a bugger to shoot on owing to the amount of glass in the set so they decided to change it and again it homages the past - its the 83-89 console done on more money I know why it's done - to appease the fanboys - but it still, in my opinion, looks absolutely horrific. Reckons that the money is all being held back for the 50th anniversary (of which we've heard nothing) to max out the CGI and have a multi doctor special. I don't like the idea of an "anniversary special". It's going to be hyped up to be brilliant and ultimately will fall flat on it's face. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drs Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 BBC revealed yesterday that the anniversary special will be one 60 minute episode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainkev Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Can't see that working at all. How many of the living Doctor's would come back for the special? Tennant is an obviously one, Ecclestone has said a few times he isn't interested I think Tennant and McGann are the only ones remotely likely to come back if they were to do a multi-Doctor story. Ecclestone is clearly proud of the work he did on the show but ultimately wants to get away from it. The others all seem to be keen on the idea on paper, but if push came to shove and it was seriously proposed to them they'd probably decline on the basis of being too old now/looking too different. I get the impression Davison won't feel the urge to come back given that he that he's already done Timecrash. Tom Baker will likely refuse if asked because he can't be arsed with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennant was on Jonathan Ross the other week and towards the end of the interview, Ross was going through what Tennant had coming up in 2013 and cheekily added in "the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special". Tennant looked very flustered, but didn't deny it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 As per The 5 Doctors, they don't actually need all of the actors to turn up and be in it. They could just use stock footage and have a Doctor 'stuck in time' or some such bollocks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I had always assumed that Ecclestone would not work again for RTD, but would consider a one off for SM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drs Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 It was Collinson that Eccleston didnt like. He may now do a cameo in Corrie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainkev Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I had always assumed that Ecclestone would not work again for RTD, but would consider a one off for SM. Ecclestone worked for RTD shortly before Doctor Who on The Second Coming and seemed to enjoy it enough that he made the initial contact with RTD about the role of the 9th Doctor. I don't think his working relationship with RTD was his problem with Doctor Who. Plus whenever he promoted the show he was always very complimentary about Russell T. Davies writing which I don't think he would have done if he didn't really believe that. As drs said it might have been a problem with the producer Phil Collinson in the day to day shooting. The filming of the first series of New Who is infamous for the fact that they completely underestimated how difficult and hard-going it is to make a show like Doctor Who is in this day and age. Given that Ecclestone takes his work so seriously, he was probably less than impressed that after the first couple of weeks they were already massively behind schedule. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Hope they do an Eleven Doctors episode for the 50th Anniversary.<br /><br />Would be difficult but just about possible I reckon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Koop Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Hmm ... Ice Warriors and Cybermen. Rather interesting. I wish they'd leave the theme tune alone. I wish they'd left it alone for the past 34 or 35 years - it's like putting breakbeats on the Coronation Street theme. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I keep thinking about giving up on it but I'll probably keep watching. They keep setting up interesting story lines then ruining the episodes with rushed, non-sensical, soppy endings. "Oh we can defeat the Daleks if we all say "Doctor", hold hands with someone we love or think about a really cute picture of some kittens". f**k off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Thought that was fucking brilliant. Admitedly my judgement is impaired by Saturday alcohol. Why are the Christmas shows always so disappointing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
