New Doctor Who
Replies sorted oldest to newest
In short - no
Has been pants since Tom Baker's demise
And the addition of Matt Lucas makes the show as big a laughing stock as when Sylvester McCoy fought a ruddy marshmallow man enemy
I'll be watching! 
And now this gay thing - they say it's no big deal so why are they making such a big deal about it?
And being female - not an issue there, it may be the shot in the arm it needs but LGTB - jeez
It's cheapening the brand (as if it could get any worse) by desperately pandering to social worker, tree hugging, lentil eating lesbians 
Music's slightly different!

Oh you know what I mean - it's so unnecessary
It's the worst type of desperate pandering to popular cultural pressure to seem trendy

wow....if I could be bothered to have an issue with this drivel I would...I'll just ask my tree hugging lesbian daughter why she wasn't chosen to play the part I suppose her answer would be she didn't want to cheapen the brand Renton.
Come on you know i'm saying it with humour

so am I Renton, but seen as you peppered your post with sarcasm I felt obliged to do the same back....we're still friends 
One of my sister's children has come out as gay
I'm happy she's happy with her life - it's a simple as that (and always should be)
I like Christopher Eccleston's Doctor and I loved David Tennant and Matt Smith's Doctors but I can't take to Peter Capaldi's version.
I might start watching again once he regenerates - depending on who gets the role.
It would have been f-a-r better if changing the Doctor had been kept under wraps.
Imagine the shock of introducing an androgynous alien Doctor that rewrote the rules.
It would have been an attention grabbing game changer
Bill (was that her name?) - good!
Little bald man (can't remember his character name or his real name) - loved him ....is he staying?
Peter Capaldi - still total rubbish.

I suppose everyone to their own, but it just seems you have a problem with LGBT people, by your previous posts
Whereas, the only way I have a problem with it is if they are physically harming people, but then again that can be said of all peeps in this world 
However, this is a Dr Who fred. I don't mean to hijack it. Soz peeps

No idea ------- Matt Lucas-------I think so!

Apology accepted
Maybe I need another break again
Don't be silly - we need you here
Wasn't sure about resurrecting this thread after such a long gap, however...
Just watched my recording of tonight's episode - well creepy! 
I thought the first couple of episodes had loads of good ideas but were rather rushed (and IMO "Pilot" in particular suffered from too many production "ticks"). However the series seems to be settling into it's stride, and I'm rather enjoying it.
'Pilot', I felt was a bit a propos of nothing. Episodes 2 & 3 were good though, back in the right 'Dr Who' vein. I was a little disappointed with this week's episode, as I felt it was a step backwards. A little bit creepy perhaps - but not Eugene's 'Well Creepy'.

I guess I'm just a sucker for a "haunted house" story!
Have you tried out the special "binaural" version on iPlayer? it does emphasise all those creaks and scratches...

Was that a night one 
or a day one? 
Just catching up on Ep. 4 - "Oxygen".
Nardole (played by Matt Lucas, remember) to Dahh-Ren (a blue-skinned alien):
"Some of my best friends are bluish."
Well; it made me LOL...
I've still got last week's and last night's to watch - have to say I'm enjoying the series so far. I'm not minding Bill as an assistant and I thought I would as I have an aversion to grown woman who wear bows in their hair....

I think you'll enjoy those episodes too, Kaffs. As the Radio Times have said, there seems to be a deliberate attempt this series to get back to "solid, straightforwardly enjoyable adventures". That said (and without going into spoiler territory), there's a big twist at the end of Ep. 5 which could have major repercussions.

Just watched! Surely not...!
PS Who's in the Vault?
PPS Don't tell me - I have my suspicions, but I'll wait and see!
I can honestly say that I have not seen one episode this series for one reason or another.
Well, get your skates on then!

I have a feeling I may miss out completely this season. 
I'm really enjoying this series. I was right about who was in the vault - and I'm loving Nardole more and more every week.
TV line of the year by Missy to Bill 'You'd be a husk. Completely and irrevocably brain dead. You couldn't even get on Celebrity Love Island' I'm loving this series.
