Post by: FrahHawk on February 14, 2012, 07:04:37 PM: When is the new season of Dr. Who supposed to start? I gave up watch BBC America after Xmas... Nothing on there that I haven't seen before... Kinda gotten tired of watching the same things over and over again... :eyescan: :it: :cheer:
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on February 14, 2012, 07:30:07 PM: Good question I had to give up the package that carried BBC America due to the cost. My introductory period is over and the price doubled, the only thing I have seen about it so far is that filming of the new seasons starts on 02/20/12

Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Star4mation on February 17, 2012, 02:14:58 PM: Can't find out when the new series will be shown. (My guess is Easter Saturday) :)
Here's what I have found out..................

The new series will see Matt Smith return as the Doctor in what Steven Moffat has described as 'the biggest, the best and the most ambitious season we've ever made'. Karen Gillan (Amy) and Arthur Darvill (Rory) are both back, for what will be their final voyage with the Doctor - a thrilling rollercoaster ride which will culminate in a heart-breaking farewell to the Ponds. But there will be more shocks, surprises and adventures to come when the Doctor meets a new friend, in the last very place he could ever have expected...

I used to watch Dr who curled up on the sofa every Sunday morning with my dad. its something I try and carry on with my two, I've even got Luis watching it. I can't wait for series 7 to start.
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on July 14, 2012, 02:25:47 PM: If I am not mistaken season 7 has, don't know since I no longer can afford cable TV ... $70 a month just to get the one channel I watch ... not bloody likely. Yes, I don't watch much TV.

Anyway

Death to the Daleks w/ Jon Pertwee

Coming in August

Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on July 14, 2012, 02:45:35 PM: Oh how paralyzing dull, boring, tedious and commonplace as the fourth Doctor used to say.
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Artistic Creativity on July 14, 2012, 02:57:27 PM: lol I love how Matt Smith incorporated ALL the doctors in his character right down to the Jelly babies.
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on July 14, 2012, 03:00:18 PM: Jelly babies didn't see that in season six unless I missed it somehow, which episode would that reference have been in?
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Artistic Creativity on July 14, 2012, 03:11:52 PM: I've known it to get thrown in a few times, the last one I think was the flesh or the doctors wife...
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on July 14, 2012, 03:28:45 PM: Just watched the entire sixth season recently too how odd I missed it.

Well, then The Doctors Wife is going on first then, I so love that episode
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Artistic Creativity on July 14, 2012, 03:31:41 PM: yeah me too.. I'm a softy and cried at that one.. ( if you tell any one I'll deny it!)
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on July 14, 2012, 03:36:13 PM: Not I !!! Never would I make such a statement as that about a fellow Who-vian

cry indeed ... never ... I tell you never ....

Well maybe something was in my eye at the very end ...

Something about looking for a big and complicated word that is so sad.
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on July 14, 2012, 06:30:28 PM: Got the disc in now. Sorry had to watch The Krotons that I just bought with Patrick Troughton

Anyway on the disc that contains The Doctors Wife they have extras on it and boy howdy are they quite good .... Night and The Doctor ... apparently he does things while Amy and Rory sleep. :thud:

There are four little clips and they so add some depth to the relationship between The Doctor and River Song ... "the mind boggles"

Post by: Artistic Creativity on July 15, 2012, 03:14:10 AM: but of course by now we know who river song really is, I saw something coming but not that... The daleks are back this season. Toe curling delight.
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on July 15, 2012, 06:01:27 AM: Agreed on River and look forward to whatever they are going to cook up for the Daleks.

Man have they ever come a long way since their first episode ... and they still keep coming back ... methinks the Doctor puts to much back spin on them when he boots them out of the universe.
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Artistic Creativity on July 15, 2012, 08:07:35 AM: yeah There is a part of me that wondered why he didn't just stop it all when he had the last one in front of him. It certainly wasn't his human side speaking!

Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Star4mation on October 13, 2012, 04:09:59 PM: Well, 5 episodes into series 7 and the Ponds are no longer with us (good storyline, didn't see that coming! and I'm really going to miss Amy too.)
But now we have a break until the Christmas special, Luckily until then we have a new series of Merlin to keep us entertained on a Saturday night (not sure when you guys in the US will get it though)
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on October 13, 2012, 04:19:30 PM: Oh darn it all teasing us again darn darn darn

In the meantime though ...
The Ambassadors of Death w/Jon Pertwee is now available for purchase in the stores.

Part one of Season 7 will not be available on DVD till November 13.
I am going to have to buy it in two parts since there is no way I can wait to buy the whole thing in one box set. Way to long to wait for me

S4A, We also get Merlin across the pond on BBC America... But I've seen the entire series on ScyFy channel. Saw it clearly to the end of the series. You'll never guess the ending tho... It's an open ended. Don't know if it will be back this year on ScyFy to tie up the end neatly. :tearlaugh:
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on October 13, 2012, 06:07:35 PM: When they doubled the monthly on me ... I said no more .... especially for just one channel which is BBC America

Tis ever so sad ... but so be it
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Star4mation on October 14, 2012, 07:59:45 AM: FrahHawk, the scyfy channel has only shown series 1 to 4. :) The BBC is now showing series 5 :)
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: FrahHawk on October 14, 2012, 04:43:12 PM: *Spoiler Alert*
Is it showing what is happening to Morgana after she was exposed and defeated by Merlin (in disguise as an old man)? And the upcoming wedding of Arthur after he became King to the love of his life?

But I really don't know, real life is playing a number on me right now and I have so little time
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Star4mation on November 05, 2012, 02:53:15 PM: Yeah, Christmas special next then the rest of season 7 in the new year.
Here's what I know about the Christmas special so far............

“The Doctor is going to meet someone very new in the very last place he could ever have expected…” Rumoured to be a Doctor Who take on Raymond Briggs’ festive animation, The Snowman. Set in 1890′s London and introduces the new companion called Clara. Also features the return of Madame Vastra, Jenny and Strax from A Good Man Goes To War.

Guest starring: Richard E Grant, Tom Ward (Captain Latimer), Liz White, Neve McIntosh (Madame Vastra), Catrin Stewart (Jenny), Dan Starkey (Strax)

Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on November 23, 2012, 12:11:59 PM: Well, managed to contain myself and wait until the Thanksgiving break from work and school.

Why?

I bought the Christmas special and part one of season 7 previously. Have seen the Christmas special on the computer mind you, not the same as on a 32" flat screen with 5.1 surround sound, :thud:

Can you guess what I will be doing for the rest of the evening .....

Knew you could

You have got to be kidding me ... something has got in my eye already

Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on December 09, 2012, 07:20:54 AM: Here is something hot off the presses or is that web site.

Jan 2013 on DVD

Shada w/Tom Baker

The lost episode this has been previously on VHS, and just recently there has been a novelization of the script that when i read it and then watched the VHS copy I have it filled in so many blanks.

Feb 2013

The Reign of Terror w/William Hartnell

Eighth episode in the series and I thought lost, as my reconstruction that I have is not all original film as there are some stills with text or audio filling it out so this should prove to be interesting indeed.
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Star4mation on December 25, 2012, 02:13:58 PM: Just watched the Doctor Who 2012 Christmas special, AWESOME :)
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on December 25, 2012, 02:55:26 PM: Oh right this should be nice to view when it is available to us here.

Tease us what is the title of it?
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Star4mation on December 25, 2012, 03:18:51 PM: It's called The Snowmen. There's some great comedy between the Sontaran Strax and the doctor over a memory worm :)
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on December 25, 2012, 03:34:32 PM: Comedy between a Sontaran and the Doctor .... oh this promises to be something to look forward too, can't wait.
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Star4mation on January 27, 2013, 08:03:57 AM: Doctor Who returns to BBC One during the Easter weekend on Saturday, 30 March, 2013. Yippee! Can't wait! :)

Just saw the repeat of Dr. Xmas show.... Now that's Xmas times 2... :tearlaugh:
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on January 27, 2013, 09:27:03 AM: No longer having cable TV of any sort I have not yet seen the new Christmas special, and so far it has not yet been released on DVD either so still being the good little patient time tot. :tearlaugh:

What is coming up next is something I am looking forward to especially if it is complete is "The Reign of Terror" w/Hartnell.

My copy, has two of the episodes as reconstructions, yet the advert for it in B/N does not indicate anything like that, it states "remastered" ... so looking forward to Feb. 12th
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on February 09, 2013, 10:18:27 AM: Update they doing an animation of the missing two episodes most likely just like was done in Patrick Troughton's "Invasion" where the missing two episode were recreated in as an animation.

Must be patient till the 12th ... must be patient ... must ... :ahhhh:
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Star4mation on March 31, 2013, 04:29:53 PM: First episode with the Doctor's new assistant aired yesterday on the BBC. A good start to the season. Saturday evenings have meaning again. (for a couple of months anyway) :)
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on March 31, 2013, 04:56:34 PM: Indeed that is splendid news,

I see that B&N has got the part two of the 7th season on pre-order looks like about May over here if memory serves.
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: thelufias on March 31, 2013, 06:26:53 PM: I never get tired of asking this.......

WHO?

:icu:
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on April 01, 2013, 04:55:52 AM: The Doctor

of course :thud: :tearlaugh:
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: FrahHawk on April 01, 2013, 08:04:56 AM: The third Dr. gave himself a name "Dr. John Smith" Saw the classic episode from the third doctor who series. The 3rd doctor was more of an hands-on fighter modeled after I believe either James Bond or John Steed from The Avengers. Anyway, just putting the info out there.
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on April 01, 2013, 05:35:48 PM: Jamie referred to him (Patrick Troughton ) as Dr. John Smith in "The Wheel in Space" while the Doctor was in the sick bay, and then in "The War Games" he called himself that when being interrogated by one of the brainwashed generals.

Jon Pertwee used the name in the "Spearhead from Space" episode when the Brigadier said that he didn't know what to call him.

Incidentally it was also Patrick Troughton who first used the sonic screwdriver in "The War Games".
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on April 27, 2013, 12:35:22 PM: And the good news is that at last on May 28th we get to purchase the second part of the 7th season along with the Christmas special The Snowmen.

:yippee:

More interesting is that on June 11th we get the last episode needed to complete the Jon Pertwee years: ... The Mind of Evil.

:yippee:
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on April 27, 2013, 12:36:16 PM: Yeah, I know ... doesn't take much to get me fired up :thud:
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on April 27, 2013, 06:40:58 PM: How interesting I am watching "The Green Death" w/Jon Pertwee

Now why would a program theoretically based on England refer to measurements in American units such as "yards"

:tearlaugh:
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Star4mation on April 28, 2013, 10:26:06 AM: We had yards before you did "J" :) LOLWe still got miles too!
Metrication never fully happened here in England. Some things will always be. It's the English way to stick two fingers up to the Eurocrats!!! :)
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on April 28, 2013, 01:44:46 PM: Aha I knew there was a perfectly simple explanation. :tearlaugh:
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on June 03, 2013, 07:45:11 PM: Well, the actual and the advertised for the second part of season seven is miles apart.

In other words the spiel on the web page says the Christmas special was included on part two of season seven ... well if you guessed it was not then you know what to do.

So had to buy them separately .... :cry3:

However I have at last watched the Christmas special .... twice ... and oh the hidden references ... Exquisite

Next is to watch part two ... but not quite yet :heeheehee:
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on June 15, 2013, 12:10:50 PM: Well, picked up the latest release, The Mind of Evil w/Jon Pertwee

updated my list and I am now down to only one show they have not released.

So out of the full 261 shows or episodes that have been shown since its first broadcast in 1963, I lack 24 that have been lost or destroyed, I do have those as reconstructions from Loose Cannon.

Tickled I am so very much.

I mean 50 years the show has been running and now there might be a gender bending concept ... shudder
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on June 16, 2013, 02:40:20 PM: Finally have started to watch the second part of the seventh season.

The first one The Bells of Saint John .... oh my giddy aunt .... talk about layers and layers
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Katt on July 28, 2013, 08:53:20 PM: The Bell's of Saint John is not bad .... but I found the season started off shakey ... it seemed to take a few episodes to get the "real" feel of Doctor Who ..... the last few prior to the end of the season got much better ....

They are to be announcing the next Doc in August or so .... and I would assume the Christmas special (which has Billie Piper and David Tennant in it btw) will have Matt regenerating into the next Doc .... but that's still a bit off ... hate waiting!
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on July 29, 2013, 04:14:00 AM: Coming soon:

Ice Warriors w/Patrick Troughton ~ 09/17/13

On your side of the pond... BBC America guide for tomorrow doesn't say anything of that except a line up of Dr Who summaries from the 1st to the 6th Dr Who. But I will keep my eyes out for that special. I've even set up the reminders for each of them so I can catch them even if I do forget them. (I suffer from CRC aka CRS syndrome at times :thud: ) Thanks for the heads up, tho. :hug3:

Post by: Star4mation on August 03, 2013, 08:45:12 AM: "This weekend, the BBC will reportedly announce the actor who will play the twelfth incarnation of The Doctor in "Doctor Who".

The special program will reportedly screen on Sunday at 7pm BST on BBC1 and will be called "Doctor Who Live: The Next Doctor". It's expected BBC America will simulcast the program.

Zoe Ball will present the special in front of a live audience, a special that will feature past Doctors and companions including Matt Smith."

Looks like BBC America will screen at the same time.

I was hard pressed ... :tearlaugh:

Post by: Katt on August 04, 2013, 08:29:02 PM: Sorry .. but I do not have high hopes for the last final Doctor ... when I watch all I will be seeing is him in Pompei ....

He has some tall orders to fill ... but not hopeful here ...
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on August 05, 2013, 04:44:13 AM: Guess there is something to be said for not watching a whole lot of TV as I have no idea who he is or the show that you are referring to, so just going to wait and see.
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Katt on August 05, 2013, 11:02:32 AM: I am referring to Doctor Who episode ... Fires of Pompei (or something) ... with David Tennant and Donna Noble .... this "new" doc was the father of the family they saved ... and Karen Gillian was one of the maidens who had eyes painted on their hands btw ...

So .. knowing that, I will be hard-pressed to see him as the Doc vs the father of the family ...

Yes, but that was like years ago... Since then maybe he will have enough acting chops to put to use when they develop the scripts around him just like they did with Karen... Maybe that will be forgotten also like with Karen. :tearlaugh: I am less likely to dismiss him as a Dr Who... since I've picked up after Tom Barker. Thought I wouldn't like any of the Dr's after Tom but I was wrong. I do like Chris, David and Matt. So, let's see, hmmm??? :icu:

Post by: Jherrith on August 05, 2013, 09:06:44 PM: Ah so that is what thou meant well, guess I will have to watch that episode again and see what I shall see.

But, like Hawk mentions having had my first encounter with the Doctor being Tom Baker and not really knowing that I would like any of the others does give me a little bit of tolerance to see what shall occur next

The Tenth Planet w/William Hartnell on 11/19/13

This is the episode for those who are not aware, of the first appearance of the Cyberman and is also when the Doctor regenerated for the first time.

Incidentally it was also Patrick Troughton who first used the sonic screwdriver in "The War Games".

Was watching the old reconstructions of the missing Dr. Who shows and found out that I was mistaken on the sonic screwdrivers first appearance.

Twas actually in the episode "Fury from the Deep"

It is interesting as in the trailers they call him the War Doctor .... so looking forward to that being explained ......
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on November 21, 2013, 09:14:46 PM: Just picked up The Tenth Planet w/William Hartnell and the animation of the missing episode is very well done, including the regeneration sequence.

Teaser ... they have in the extras "upcoming" and when I watched it seems like the next one on the drafting board will be "The Moonbase w/Patrick Troughton" to be reconstructed with animation.

No release date mentioned ... :cry2:

Man what the heck is that about I wonder ... nonetheless :yippee:

I am now able to watch it again and this time without picking up hundreds of PUPs and other crap from the places that said they had a streaming version and so forth or wanted to install new video drivers but still never allowed the show to play.

Got me own personal copy now :feelgood:

Still love that line

Post by: ali_sen on December 26, 2013, 07:24:21 AM: Christmas special was so so.... nowhere near as amazing as the anniversary show.

I could watch the anniversary another 10 times! Christmas special? maybe...once more? It was okay but not enough of what I wanted and too much of what I didn't care about....
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: FrahHawk on December 26, 2013, 02:00:43 PM: The Christmas special was a big let-down... But it did leave us with that cliff-hanger and a teaser peak into the next Dr's personality. At the beginning, it was confusing... Each time we see Dr (Matt Smith) he's aged. Sort of confusing in the middle... Then at the end, Amelia Pond shows up as both a child and adult. Last parting words, "Raggedly Man, Good night". Then the transformation took place. It wasn't as violent as the others were, more like "blink and you'll miss it"... I laughed at the end when the new Dr ask Clara, "One question... Do you know how to fly this thing?"
Title: Re: New releases

Good times!!!!
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on February 02, 2014, 01:14:52 PM: Well, we got an update on the new release dates.

The Moonbase w/Patrick Troughton ~ Feb. 11 2014

The Time of the Doctor w/Peter Capaldi ~ March 4 2014

The Web of Fear w/Patrick Troughton ~ April 22 2014

Doing the :yippee: :letusboogie: shuffle

Which puts me at -21 shows, (out of 263) after the above are acquired left to complete the set.

Granted I have the missing 21 as reconstructions, using telesnaps, but it will be so much nicer to have them with the missing episodes reconstructed as animations.
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on February 15, 2014, 01:20:50 PM: One down

Interesting thing is the trailer:

Coming soon indicated "The Underwater Menace" to be next,

however my search engine shows "The Web of Fear"
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on March 09, 2014, 06:23:07 PM: Picked up The Time of the Doctor

Well now definitely not the best constructed or thought out episode. Then again introducing the newest in the last five minutes or such definitely did not help his debut

Guess we are going to have to wait for the season to progress and make it to DVD before I can make a judgement call on this one.
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on April 22, 2014, 07:26:41 PM: Just picked up the "Web of Fear with Patrick Troughton" and am disappointed that they did not do a full animation of the missing episode(s) as they have done in previous reconstructions.

They did photo stills with the soundtrack, quite the let down in my mind since the animations have been done so well previously.

There was only one episode missing and they have already done reconstructions with full animation that were missing two episodes so what the ... :ummm:
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on April 22, 2014, 07:30:53 PM: Next release on May 20th

Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on May 23, 2014, 09:34:05 AM: :woohoo: Just picked up The Enemy of the World. :woohoo:

And it is a complete show, no missing episodes, no reconstructions, no tele-snaps

A far cry from the copy I have from Loose Cannon, which is mostly tele-snaps and some episodes that had made it back at the time.

So this is a real gem to say the least, going to review the Loose Cannon one next to see how they compare.
Title: Re: New releases
Post by: Jherrith on May 23, 2014, 11:09:05 AM: Wow the previous one I have from Loose Cannon has only one complete episode the rest are all tele-snaps.

So the release of the new one is fantastic as it is complete, nothing missing.

Post by: Jherrith on May 23, 2014, 03:23:16 PM: T minus 20 episodes

Post by: Jherrith on December 14, 2014, 08:11:56 AM: He does grow on a person, having seen two full episodes last night, "Deep Breath" and "Into the Dalek" which I thought was quite different and brought new life to them as a villain, we are beginning to like his interpretation.

Kind of have a problem with him going from 1200 years old as Matt Smith stated in The Day of the Doctor, to now 2000 years old as stated in Deep Breath but what does one expect form a Time Lord right ....

Time to put on Robot of Sherwood and continue on

Will say this "Missy" character is a bit of a mystery right now, look forward to the development of her character's purpose.

Popped it in the player at work and said play .... no problems :yippee:

Got home and played it on the TV again no problems ... unhappy about the tear in the cover box ....

The episode however is quite nice as there is a complete second episode along with third. Telesnaps for episodes 1 and 4 which I would have preferred to have seen animated like they have done in the past, but I can tell that these were different from the original I have, so a bit of an upgrade to the reconstruction.

I must say though there is a whole lot more going on then I knew about ... since I only had a reconstruction which was just telesnaps.

Seeing the full length show now, in the animated format, it is amazing how much of it I was missing, always did wonder why certain bits of dialog made no sense now we know.

Watching episode five shows the Dalek's guns on their right and then in episode six and in every other previous scene and in all other episodes (going forward and with all other Dr.'s) their gun is on their left.

The complete First Season of Tom Baker as the Doctor

sweet it is several updated special effects and enhanced audio made it worth the price tag.

Just bought the First Season of Peter Davison as the Doctor

It has updated special effects and enhanced audio, so far I am still on the first episode, Castrovalva but we are quite happy so far, look forward to the rest of the episode and the rest of the discs.

Plus there is also a new release of Shada which has animation to replaced the missing parts and that turned out to be quite good.

I so wish they would get back to releasing the earlier ones once more.
