im worried that all these returning characters will end up not doing much

Yeah, it's a lot to pack into little over an hour.

well it’s supposed to be feature length but yes

Doctor Who fan here. Just found out about this thread.

Flux was fine. Probably the most I've enjoyed the 13 era so far. The sontarian and Angel episodes where the stand outs.

Sea Devils was okay but nothing I'd go back to watch. Felt a bit too rushed

ace and tegan being back is extremely hype but I have no idea how they're gonna pack in all of this content lol.

that seems to be a common worry. ive been thinking recently that chibnal thinks just having things like this are enough and he doesnt need to do anything with them

 

[NintenRob]

I kinda hated the Sea Devil episode. I thought the way these scenes were edited together was genuinely bad. Like it was hard to tell these characters were in the same place bad. And what was up with the doctor and crew having a trap ready as soon as they arrive at the village. Like yeesh.

I heard the episode was cut down, which seems pretty likely to me. Some awkward cuts.

How are they gonna bring Donna back? She can never see the Doctor again after the events of Journey's End.

How are they gonna bring Donna back? She can never see the Doctor again after the events of Journey's End.

We don't really know how their appearance will go about, it could be a vision of some sorts or a flashback they're appearing in, or it could be before the events of Journey's End. We'll need to wait and see in my opinion.

they same way they usually do it, time travel to before hand

although its worth noting RTD has been purposely vague on the nature of their return

 

[Deleted member]

I think whatever happening will be more complex than a simple return story. I'm exited to see what they do

The running roumor / theory is that she is Donna and Shaun's (her partner at the end of end of time)'s Daughter

Also some set pictures have confirmed that Wilf is back

Holy ****, I love Neil Patrick Harris. That's awesome.

 

[fogbadge]

so jodie's last episode is to be called The Power of the Doctor

 

[fogbadge]

Well guys it’s less than 23 hours til Jodie’s final episode so I’d like to offer a friendly reminder to those unable to view at that time to BEWARE SPOILERS after all you know how the internet is

 

[fogbadge]

That was…. That was…. Oh watch it yourself

"And in years to come, you might find yourself revisiting a few. But just the old favourites, eh?"

I did not see that ending coming. By far the best part of the episode. The rest was mediocre at best, and absolutely atrocious at worst. All of the cameos felt wasted. They really should have been saved till the 60th specials. Happy Chris Chibnall's reign of terror is finally at it's end.

 

[Pokelego999]

Wow that episode was ****.

I feel the orange doesn't mesh too well with the design.

 

[fogbadge]

two things we cam infer from that. 1 that is almost certainly beep the meep and the wrarth warriors and 2 rtd is determined to recreate his era again

 

[fogbadge]

I’ve been meaning to ask everyone what they think of characters from the comics coming to the main show?

It's pretty cool. The Comics introduce some pretty cool monsters and characters, so I hope they dip into that territory more.

 

[fogbadge]

made it to the doctor who experience. it was awesome

 

[fogbadge]

So for those of you who haven’t heard, we have the titles for this year’s anniversary specials

The Star Beast
Wild Blue Yonder
The Giggle

Now it should be noted that the star beast is also the name of a 4th dr story featuring some of the creatures seen in the trailers. Rather suggests they’re doing an adaptation of it so be warned spoilers have been around for decades

 

[fogbadge]

Classic series companion Mel set to return for series 14

 

[fogbadge]

So a new trailer has dropped and the bbc have confirmed that NPH is playing first doctor villain the celestial toymaker
