Will they ever remove the Sonic Screwdriver/Shades for a series?
It seems like an obvious thing to do, they've done it before, it opens up new writing challenges, and the last episodes proves that Dr Who can use his ingenuity to work around problems rather than zapping a magic wand at them.
Is it just forever a part of Doctor Who now (with the odd variation here and there), or is it something that can be removed for a while? I mean, they keep forgetting the psychic paper exists (even though it has just as much OP potential).

"I think Doctor Who is a corkingly brilliant idea. The recasting idea is brilliant. I think the actual structure, the actual format is as good as anything that's ever been done. His character, his TARDIS, all that stuff is so good it can even stand being done not terribly well - as one has to concede it was done. I simply mean the basic principles of it some of the moments or ideas are so great they can dupe you into believing the program was better than it really was. It was actually pretty shabby a lot of the time, which is a shame. There was some very good stuff over twenty five years, but there wasn't enough. Doctor Who was not limited merely by the limitations of the times or the styles that were prevalent then. It was limited by the relatively meager talent of the people who were working on it. Mostly they were middle-of-the-range hacks who were not going to go on to do much else. The hit rate for the 26 years is not high enough... There are people who have worked on Doctor Who who have gone on to great things, who are great talents, like Douglas Adams. I just think most of the people thought this was going to be the big moment of their lives which is a shame. As a television format: Doctor Who equals anything. Unless I chose my episodes very carefully, I couldn't sit anybody I work with in television down in front of Doctor Who and say 'watch this, this is a great show."
Strange how a lot of this still applies today now that he's running it.

I don't think its that great of an idea anyways. I always hear so many arguments about how destroying the Sonic will improve the writing so much but...did it? I mean, Davison's season after the sonic was destroyed sucked, the next season was alright but only Caves and Turlough were truly standout ideas, a bunch of Colin's first season was dreck(and this is coming from someone who legitimately enjoys about 70% of it).
I mean, did the writers rise to the occasion by destroying the Sonic? The only other mutually loved decision from that series afterwards was killing Adric, and one could argue killing off Adric was a much better idea than ditching the Sonic.
Shit writing is gonna be shit no matter what happens, but at least with it we can wave away some of the technobabble and just get on with a show. Besides, is it really more exciting to watch the Doctor rewire an electronic door while the monster of the week stumbles towards them? Arguably i like the idea of having the doctor fucking around with his infallible sonic because he can't get the setting right until the last second rather than watching him be as mundane as an elevator repair man for exactly the same amount of time.

The more people outside the BBC (fans, media etc) who support Capaldi and the fact that he is a lifelong fan he may decide to throw his weight around if he wants it. Now that will be great for the show but not for the BBC they will loose some control and and don't think they will let that happen. In my view anyway
>>63299197
Listen to the audio reconstructions and he is right - you can hear the fluffing of the lines etc
But they were put out at such a rate it's no surprise - the difference is old soap episodes dot get rerun the same way
Interesting what if - what if yellow arc of fragrance (which was recently recorded by BF but never actually done in the series itself) had been the 2nd serial as planned? It's way more esoteric than most of the cod monster serials
>>63301134
It seems like that's already the case but with small things like not saying shit he doesn't think the Doctor would say.
Tom became an absolute banterlord with it though, demanded a talking cabbage companion, regularly arrived to filming drunk, I'm pretty sure he's autistic.
>>63301245
true. All I knows is I want Pete around for along as he can/wants, and hope it's a long time. At least more then Smith and Tennant.
>>63301404
i watched an interview with him recently and it didn't really sound like he was leaving anytime soon to me. he said he'd leave if he wasn't happy with the direction the show was going but hes fine where its going and having a great time.

The proposed second story wasn't The Fragile Yellow Arc of Fragrance, it was The Masters of Luxor.
If it had been the second story, the characters might have developed a bit differently; apparently, it originally had a big religous subtext, and the Doctor was clearly presented as a believer. It's a pity Big Finish removed it from their version, I should probably read the scripts one day.
Fragile Yellow Arc was never even seriously considered for production, as far as I know.

So Rigsy spent his life in prison right?
so that half-human thing.
I don't really care for it I'd rather keep the Doctor fully alien. at this point I don't think I would mind if they went that way.
There's an interpretation of canon that has a stance that something is the case until its retconed/explained later. So I guess he is half human, whether I like it or not.
I think it might be an interesting twist to establish that his mother is human but not really, she something else.
>>63303544
good point, I can only guess that UNIT showed up and sorted it out and did that accepting Rigsy wouldn't tell them the truth.
>>63303790
What if he's half time Lord half some other alien?
>>63303840
I like that but now i'm thinking if his mother is something even more alien than Gallifreyian it might go into the Messianic territory.
>>63303544
Not only that, but upon autopsy they discover semen of an unknown genetic makeup inside her. They assume Rigsy raped her and he goes to prison for life without parole
If the doctor is 'half human' but has two hearts and still had a full regeneration cycle and has a second one, what is the human half of him?
>>63303135
Will they ever touch on this?
I mean as forgetful or procrastinating as the Doctor is, he's gotta show up at some point to break the news even if he has to lie.
I feel like dealing with the aftermath of a companion death in such a way by taking a whole episode to deal with it could be a fun idea. Not like The Snowmen with the Emo Doctor, but with him trying to decide what to tell people and how to go about it and where to go from there.
>>63304053
the side of that struggled at timelord academy, can quite forgetful, and be emotional?
>>63304116
Well PNess is starting a whole show based at coal hill so it'd be incredibly dumb if they don't address it in some way
Lads, that was probably the best episode of NuWho, and one of the best in the show's entire run. I was kind of giving up hope on Moffat as a showrunner. But damn. That episode was something else. I know this week's episode could never top last week's. Moffat would have to pull another Blink, Girl in the Fireplace, or Heaven Sent out of his ass to compete. This is the biggest problem with Doctor Who finales and Moffat finales especially. The first part is always better than the second part. I'm hoping that while Hell Bent might be a step down, it's not disappointing like Death in Heaven was.
Still, the Christmas special afterwards is already shaping up to be one of the worst of the Moffat era, and I'm betting it will be as bad as The Doctor The Widow and The Wardrobe

>tldr: want to start watching, where is the best place to begging?
>>63304325
Season 5, The Eleventh Hour. It was a soft reboot with an entirely new main cast and new showrunner, which makes it a good entry position
If you want to start with the current main actor Peter Capaldi you could start with Deep Breath, but it's nowhere near as forgiving to new viewers
>>63304325
1) Go into the show assuming that every episode you watch will be shit. This way you're not disappointed and you will be very pleasantly surprised often enough.
2) This show is shit and I say this as one of its biggest fans.
3) By this point you might as well not bother starting in 2005 or 1963 or any other point. There are a few options now that will get you all caught up to the main story. First option is to start in 2011 with "The Eleventh Hour" and work your way to the present. There's several seasons and specials to get through so it will take a bit to catch up and you have to get through Series 6 and 7 which /who/ doesn't really like that much.
Another option is to start with "The Name of the Doctor" and continue on which is much more recent. This is kind of a rocky option but it gives you backstory while getting you to the new stuff. You'll be tossed into the end of a story arc which leads into the new one. You also get to see many different Doctors in this period. 8th, War Doctor, 10th, 11th and 12th.

I've never considered this before but now I think about it it's not as bad of an idea as I'd have first thought
You do totally have to put up with figuring out what's going on as you watch it but it does get you closer to capaldi
Since otherwise you're expecting people to watch 5 years worth of the show before being up to date

Theres going to be a spin off in a school so its likely Clara regenerates and stars in it as theres no-one else this year to do a spin off with except maybe Ashildir.
If the Doctor sends the Time Lords back into Limbo again I'll probably stop watching.

Maybe but there is a stark difference. While on a whole, virgin watchers will be able to adjust to watching it from 2005. While asking them to start watching a sci-fi show from 1963 is a huge culture shock. 60's/70's/80's Sci-fi is not for everyone. That and show has a almost complete opposite pace.

That anon was put off by how many seasons there are. The Eleventh Hour is the most recent jumping-off episode. Five and a half seasons is still longer than many TV shows last, there's enough to catch up with without slapping the four and a half seasons that came before on top of it.
The best thing about that episode being almost a reboot is that you can watch from The Eleventh Hour to Heaven Sent without getting too many spoilers about what came before, so you can always go back and start from Hartnell, or Pertwee, or McGann, or Eccleston if you're interested.
Moff's making it sound like S10 is going to become the new jumping off episode
I wonder how much things will change
>>63305903
The answers aren't too bad. The suggested
The Three Doctors > The Deadly Assassin > The Invasion of Time > The Arc of Infinity > The Five Doctors
is as good of a Gallifrey crash course you could hope for from Classic Who. Honestly you could just do The Deadly Assassin > The Five Doctors; the Omega stuff is ancillary. The Brain of Morbius would be good but made most sense before The Night of the Doctor; by now people get Karn in NewWho.
>>63305953
And also running the risk of getting your mind warped.. If the seasons were 26 episodes long I would agree with you but they re not. Otherwise I would've said start fro Hartnell or Pertwee with their serials lasting between 45-20 episode per season. 13 episodes per season is nothing to be put off by and is not an excuse in my eyes.
As for The Eleventh hour being a "re-boot" well ideally it shouldn't have been. But there was a change of Doctor, a change of showrunner and a change of direction and that is just how it went. I hate the lack of references between the 10th and 11th most of the continuity was lost. The whole thing is not natural and doesn't sit right.
I still think the only place you should start from in Nu-Who is Season One.

M8, for most of Classic Who episode were about half as long as NuWho ones. 26 episodes of Pertwee is pretty much the same as 13 episodes of Eccleston. And the seasons only get shorter as it goes on, a season of McCoy is about as long as Series 6A.
The RTD era is 60 episodes long, and Moffat will reach 70 with the next Christmas special. It's not as long as some other shows, but it's nothing to scoff at.

I agree that the complete cut-off was a bit too much, but since it's there we might as well exploit it.

>I agree that the complete cut-off was a bit too much, but since it's there we might as well exploit it.
Eh. I really strongly feel like it's a bad starting point. Series 5 is an awful introduction to the Daleks, Time War, regeneration, etc. Series 1 is a much better intro.
>>63306628
because life gets in the way of fiddling with devices

>>63305374
Nope. Watching from Ecclestone is watching from where Doctor Who began its current form. Yes it's canon from 1963 but the current pacing, story arcs and so on run from Ecclestone. The Time War, referenced again in the coming episode, was mentioned by Ecclestone right the way back at the start of Rose. Also what the other anon said - watching from 2005 is far more achievable than watching from 1963. Finally, I'm always nonplussed when fans recommend wiping out the ninth and tenth doctors. They were brilliant. The seasons aren't that long so it's not that big a deal to watch it from 2005.

no gifts for /britwho/
>>63306936
Agreed
>>63306936
I would argue that the beginning of the moff era is where doctor who began its most current form. The execution and tone of the RTD and moff eras are significantly different
>>63307070
>The execution and tone of the RTD and moff eras are significantly different
Superficially. It's clearly the same show. It uses the same structure, etc. The mythology is laid out from Series 1, not series 5. Try using Victory of the Daleks as the introduction of Daleks for a newbie, go on. You honestly think it works better than Dalek? Series 5 doesn't even set up the Time War, a huge part of NewWho.
>>63307087
I don't disagree with you about those, I'm just questioning the use of 'current form'
But I definitely see where you're coming from and agree that RTDwho does a better job of establishing lore
Here's what's Moffat is scared of having changed.
When the Doctor was young, when he looked into the Untempered Schism, he saw Clara telling him: "Run, run you clever boy and remember". That's just it. No big deal.
>>63307087
My friend used Victory as an introduction to Who.
She thinks we're all retarded.
>>63307105
Fair enough anon. I do agree that Series 5 is a good starting point (certainly better than Series 7 or somethijng), I just really think Series 1 works better :)
>>63307109
That would be a bit lame but fine
>>63307111
Doesn't surprise me, it's awful and such a terrible introduction for the daleks. If someone insists with starting on Series 5 they should at least watch Eccleston's Dalek for an introduction to them (the finale is also a great dalek ep).
>>63307109
oh fuck
that'd certainly trigger the autists
Is Into the Dalek a good first dalek episode or does it show them as too weak and gimmicky because of the whole conveniently life sized looking corridors inside the dalek?
>>63307109
that would be preferable to some other ideas I've heard
I fucked up one of my exams at uni today.
That really pisses me off, I can't think of anything else, and I can't hype for Hell Bent either.
Please /who/, comfort me.
>>63307201
What was the exam, and what did you do?
>>63307151
It's a decent first Dalek episode, but Dalek is literally a 10/10 and much better. Deep Breath is also a terrible first episode. Starting with Series 8 is bad idea.
>>63306936
>Nope. Watching from Ecclestone is watching from where Doctor Who began its current form. Yes it's canon from 1963 but the current pacing, story arcs and so on run from Ecclestone.

That isn't what you said though. You said that watching from 2010 is discounting Tennant and Eccleston (and it isn't, as I said it's very easy to go back and catch up with the earlier seasons).
So, either watching from 2005 is discounting the Doctors from Hartnell to McGann or watching from 2010 is not discounting the previous NuWho Doctors.
We can argue on exactly how good S5 is as a starting point, but starting from there does not mean throwing the whole of the RTD era in the trash.
>>63307201
Everything has its time anon, eventually it will just be a distant memory. I'm sorry that happened for you.
>>63307237
NewWho isn't Classic Who; jumping around doesn't make as much sense (I'm not the guy you're talking to but chiming in). There's a natural development from Series 1 to 4, 5 to 7, and 8 to 9; it's not like Classic Who where companions leaving was pretty much the only contijnuity sstuff
>>63304652
what's that from?
>>63307224
Maths.
I've come to the conclusion, that, no matter how focused I am while studying, no matter how much stuff I can learn by heart, no matter how much stuff I actually do understand, when it's time to take a test, I always get anxious.
I was even shaking for quite some time at the beginning.
>>63307348
I've been there anon. Assignments are much better IMO since you have time to think them over and do them at your own pace. Exams suck. But I can see why maths would do them.

Just over 30 hours to lads.
Tomorrow is the last episode before the Xmas Special, time to feel blue /who/, just 1 series left for best Doctor.
>>63307814
Are there still rumors of next year being a short or non series or did moff royally debunk those shutting everyone up?
>>63304213
I'd like a minisode
>white haired man sitting alone in a pub reading a newspaper
>show timelapse over a few hours showing people coming and going but he remains there
>as the bartender calls closing time, the white man puts down a newspaper, showing the date (see below)
>up until now we only ever see him from behind, this continues
>he walks home, his walking isn't a drunk style, but he seems distracted
>pauses outside an old junkyard, means against the gate to catch his breath
>as he gets up, a flashing light inside the junkyard
>he slightly turns towards it, still can't see his face, but he walks away from it
>tardis noise starts, the old man stops completely
>cautiously approaches the junkyard, still a behind shot
>it's now him standing in front of the tardis, then the door opens, and capaldi steps out, clearly upset (clothes rumpled, hair messed up, bags under eyes, etc.)
>“hello chesterfield”, he says as he tears up
>close up of a hug between them, both crying
>at the same time they say “she's gone”, Ian meaning barb, 12 meaning Clara
>12 takes Ian inside the tardis
>episode ends with the tardis dematerialising, and fades to black, middle 8 fades in
The date in the paper is the date barbs actress died, that's why ians not going too well
>>63307814
Stop rumourmongering. Also, offseason /who/ is best /who/.
>>63307830
Moff debunked the short series/specials rumour, but they're filming the series (12 episodes) so much later than usual in the year that it's impossible we get the whole series in that year. I'm not sure what will happen with scheduling.
>>63307848
How much later compared to this year?
>>63307833
Rumors?
Ecclestone: 1 Series
Killgrave: 3 Series
Smith: 3 Series
>>63307901
Hartnell: 3 seasons
Troughton: 3 seasons
Pertwee: 5 seasons
>There's no way this Baker fellow is doing more than 5. Trust me, he'll regenerate in The Armageddon Factor.
>>63307901
The number of years is more important to take note of than the number of series. Reality is that's just how long it took for tennant and smith to want to move onto other things (and smith has notably regretted leaving when he did), it's not some enforced rule they have to leave after 3 series
So, doctorwhotv hints set #2 when? They say Friday, but when?
>>63308096
Why the fuck do you want spoilers?
>>63308096

>>63307773
Just how hyped are you? After Heaven Sent, I'm feeling optimistic.
Things I'm hyped for:
1- South Park finale in less than a week
2- Hell Bent
3- War Doctor boxset in 10 days
>>63308207
>hyping a finale
cool yourself
only way you're gonna enjoy it
I'm officially calling it, I'm going to start my /who/bstinence
Probably should have done it earlier desu, I know more than I should
>>63308207
for me it was thehorsiesfinale last week, hell bent tomorrow and SP next week
>>63308226
Not him, but why would you hate a finale?
In this case, you might be annoyed by the mytholology change or the underuse of the Time Lords or the Hybrid explanation, otherwise, it seems pretty GOAT to me.
>>63308207
1 - Hell Bent
2 - Next episode of Fargo
3 - My next game of dota with my mates
>>63308226
Nah. I like loojing forward to things. Even if I don't enjoy the finale, I can still enjoy thinking about it for a day or two.
Remind me, did we ever find out who the Minister of War is?
>>63308427
No, it's Whithouse le epic setup if he ever gets to showrun (hint: he won't, Moff is literally staying on for Series 10 because he and the BBC don't think any heir apparent is...apparent)

Return to less absurd and more subdued storytelling of series 8. Series 9 was a huge deviation back toward Smith-style and away from Capaldi's own strength and just doesn't work for me.
>Two old messages become one
RUN YOU CLEVER BAD WOLF AND REMEMBER
>>63309228
Didn't work for me and I'm a fan of Matt's era storytelling.
>>63309228
>away from Capaldi's own strength
Capaldi had an entire episode to himself
If that's not showing of his own strength I don't know what isI also like that he's got to show off his fun side with the whoodie, guitar and sonic sunnies
>>63309188
A story arc that doesn't feel forced as fuck
>>63309168
Don't look at me man, I made the three posts previous to you.
What do I want? To be surprised, which The Moff is generally good at doing. Even Gatiss has started to almost surprise me these days by turning out decent scripts; I liked Sleep No More on second viewing a hell of a lot more, you should try it again.
So I'm writing this script about the Doctor, Clara and Missy being pursued by a woman who claims she has Intel that someone is going to put a bounty on their heads and she's hunting them before the bounty is announced so she can get them first. She captures them and they escape by falling into the sky a la Death in Heaven. That's about 10 minutes in. I don't know what to do next. Someone help please?
>>63309271
What?
>>63309271
A three-way, of course. Ha ha! We on /who/ sure are a bunch of scamps!
>>63309248
The last two episodes is where I finally started enjoying the series. Even though Heaven Sent was an excercise of twist that just doesn't quite make sense in details.
>>63309287
>>63309300
Guys you could at least try and get some discussion going. What would the Doctor do if he was being researched? What would 12 do?
>>63309271
Clara flings herself in front of the Doctor using her breasts to cushion his fall saving him but dying in the process.
>>63309331
Probably get kinda mad about it seeing as 11 dedicated some time to erasing himself from records throughout the universe
>>63309188
To be surprised. Another shake-up in structure/format. Two companions, one female one, male. For it to feel like a very soft reboot. No Time Lord/Gallifrey metanarrative shit; just fun/interesting/clever self-contained stories with the only arc being character development of 12 and the companions.
>>63309331
>What would the Doctor do if he was being researched? What would 12 do?
Head straight towards whoever was researching him.
>>63309188
I want a male companion
I want the adric of nuwho
>>63309331
He'd be thinking of ways to block such searches and how to trace them back to who was tracing him. Is that the sort of tracing you mean? I think with the "falling into the sky" thing would be one of those wild escapes the Doctor would pull, like short-circuiting the anti-grav where he was on the giant orbiting satellite thing or something. My ideas feel rather disoriented because I'm not sure what you're after.
>>63309188
This
>>63309188
Going to more alien planets. Even if it looks like a granite quarry.
We need less dense fuckery on Earth. Like, it's now impossible to make a step without stepping on alien activity. You can keep human focus, but why not go to alien environment?
>>63309451
I dunno man, I think that angle on the show might be a bust.
Why is he so perfect bros?
