Mark9 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Not me. I only started watching since The Bells of Saint John. Catching up in my spare time though! You what?! I'm so happy with Capaldi as the twelth Doctor. I've no doubt that he can turn rubbish writing into something genius. He's that kind of actor as whatever I've seen him in, he's class. For those saying he's not Matt Smith, thats the point of Doctor Who. Stokesyboy and Phill Pritchard 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Peter Capaldi is a great actor but even he can't save bad writing. Indeed. I hope they take this opportunity to take the whole show in a new direction. I've really enjoyed watching Matt Smith as the Doctor, but have been mostly bored by everything else going on and what they have done with him.

Benin Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Good casting... He could take things quite darkly, I hope so, I'm pretty bored of the series atm as it's been very silly at times... I liked Matt Smith, but as mentioned, the stories were pretty terrible... Could be interesting... Stokesyboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I didn't really think much of the special to be honest. I much prefer a good monster episode with lots of problems to solve rather than time hopping achieving not much in particular. I enjoyed aspects of it, but overall it left a kind of "meh" feeling in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Pretty stunning performance in the US for this. why do we get so few episodes when they can clearly run it at a profit? Surely this has made all of its production costs back and then some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 There are various reasons. Whilst it made a lot of money, a lot of that is BBC Worldwide and not the BBC itself. BBC Worldwide is the commercial arm and some profit it makes goes back into the Beeb but a lot is retained by Worldwide. You then get people who don't like Doctor Who asking why THEIR license fee is going on a programme they don't like ignoring the wealth of programming they get for a very small £145 a year. Throw in the license fee freeze forced upon them by the Tories and suddenly more episodes of what is a very expensive show to produce is less likely. Shame, because as it stands, Day of the Doctor is the most successful single episode in the history of the programme and whilst it lacked in any real peril throughout, I really enjoyed it and thought it layer the foundations for what will hopefully be a fantastic Capaldi era.

coastercameron98 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 The first official image (real not concept) of Peter Capaldi in what will be his Twelfth Doctor costume. I quite like it, it just seems to work with Capaldi's more serious looking character. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/doctor-who/10599910/First-image-of-Peter-Capaldis-Doctor-Who-costume.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hmm, there's no individuality about it. Each Doctor is supposed to have their own quirky thing (stick of celery, bow tie, leather jacket etc) but here it's just a standard everyday suit.

Benin Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Ah yes, classical judge every aspect of the new Doctor's personality off a still image... Or we could wait? Most of the individual aspects/quirks get introduced in about 5 minutes of the first episode anyway... Stokesyboy and JamminGamer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I've never seen anyone ever wear something like that.. ever. Well maybe the Third Doctor. I don't get it? The Fifth doctor had a stick of celery in his Jacket, Ninth Doctor had a leather jacket and Eleventh (and third) had a bow tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pluk Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Loving Capaldi's Doctor; the episodes are a bit hit and miss but he is excellent. It seems he is also a thoroughly nice chap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Capaldi is a brilliant Doctor IMO, and I enjoyed the episodes much more than Matt Smith's, however some of them were a bit odd. What did people think of the finale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project LC Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Better than any final with matt but I still feel it was rather meh. Yet again will all moffat episodes nothing really happened. Best episode was still into the dalek. Also the episode really didnt need the master and would have been better without him/her/it. No final is complete without a dalek invasion.

paige Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I do really like Peter Capaldi as the doctor, however I only watched the first episode as I heard the second one involved spiders so I steered clear of that one and ending up forgetting about it as I don't really watch TV anyway. But I plan on catching up on some point. Hate to admit it, but I love Doctor Who. Kerfuffle and pognoi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamminGamer Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Loving Doctor Who is something you should never hate to admit I don't remember any spiders in episode 2 XD There are some in episode 7 if I remember rightly so perhaps steer clear of that one or read a summary instead or something (It's not that good of an episode anyway) Loved the finale of this one and that Xmas teaser has me thoroughly hyped! paige and Kerfuffle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 There's just something about every single Moffat episode recently that just makes me cringe... The final moments of the finale are a perfect example of it all... Power of love (see also the god-awful Moon episode) and all that, indeed, there didn't seem to be much of a presence from the big bad in comparison to say the last few times they were involved during the T Davies series... As bad as some of his stuff was, at least he could provide a decent over-arching storyline intertwined in, rather than the odd random scene at the end to go "LOOK THIS CHARACTER EXISTS" before the wild Moffat twist... Best episode was Flatline this series... EC! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project LC Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I didnt really like flatline, I much preferd into the dalek. It may have been a remake of the christoper elcelstone episode dalek but it was still good. It seemed to return more to the russle era where almost everyone dies which is far more intresting than moffats everyone lives. I often find that nothing really happens in his episodes which makes it a bit boring. Also the worst episode without a doubt of all time was that tree episode. All the science was wrong and the story was just awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Project LC Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 At least the moon episode got some things right, like the moon does exist. There was nothing correct about the tree one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
