this was released on uknova aswell and subsequently removed, due to teh fact it doesnt even screen till either the end of this week or month, while im anxious to see it i certainly wont eb downloading it until after its been screened

by **hatsikidee** on Tue Mar 15, 2005 11:57 am

oh oh morals,

dont worry, i just screened it for you and its fantastique. now start downloading en keep it shared lol
no offence intended

by **maxpayne2409** on Tue Mar 15, 2005 4:34 pm

lol dont owrry about my morals, they lasted about 2 days then i caved lol, although keeping it shared wouldnt help as i got it off torrent

to be honest i was expecting so much more and it was by far not fantastique, it was nice to see they used an old enemy (The Nestene Consciousness & The Autons) that have been seen twice before (pertwee story "spearhead from space & Terror of The Autons) but the wheelie bin that ate the guy from auf weidersehen pet was a bit stupid and the story line in general couldve done to be a lot better, perhaps rather then 45mins they shouldve gone for a 90min special to fit everything they obv tried to fit in in but flesh it out a bit more so it doesnt feel crammed, to be honest i wasnt keen on the way christopher eccleston portrayed the doctor (hell even colin baker did a better job and thats saying something), and billie piper hmmm in places she didnt do such a bad job but in others she was definately crap

perhaps it will improve a little more when we see some dalek or cyberman action and maybe the inclusion of U.N.I.T & maybe some returns of old faces like brigadier alistair lethbridge stewart back in his role as a retired lethbridge stewart like in the mccoy story battlefield, or maybe a came by past companions like peri, sarah jane, harry, tegan or others

and why was there no regeneration? possibly we couldve seen mcgann regenerate into eccleston

either way new who is better then no who so i guess we have that to be thankful for

For those who want to see the latest trailer (with actual footage of the series including a glimpse of a Dalek and a spaceship crashing into Big Ben!), go here: http://www.benandmaria.co.uk/ or watch BBC1 or BBC2 between shows in the evening.

A torrent of Episode 1 of the new series is here: btefnet

Not having ever really watched any of the doctor who's avidly, I actually this was quite an ejoyable watch.

Seemed very consistant with the scraps of who i'd seen before.

I'll certainly be watching episode 2

by **maxpayne2409** on Sun Apr 03, 2005 3:05 pm

better then the pilot episode

Yes, and from the trailer the third ep. will probably even better. :-)

by **maxpayne2409** on Mon Apr 04, 2005 4:53 pm

yeah third ep looks cool too, i cant wait for the cybermen and dalek ep

by **spudthedestroyer** on Mon Apr 04, 2005 7:34 pm

I thought episode 2 was a bit crappy to be honest, 1 at least had the 60s B-movie feel, I don't mind it being cheesy at all, but 2 was a bit off to me.

by **spudthedestroyer** on Sun Apr 10, 2005 3:38 pm

now that was a lot better I thought this time

Absolutely, this ep reminded me much of the Tom Baker run. More please.

by **maxpayne2409** on Sun Apr 10, 2005 11:32 pm

it reminded me a lot of tom baker aswell, thoroughly enjoyed it, the second episode reminded me of late pertwee era and colin baker and they sucked a lot, cant wait for the cybermen to come back though, the trailer for the next episode looks good too

by **lazarus** on Mon Apr 11, 2005 6:00 pm

I cant help thinking the good old Doctor isnt pulling his weight, in the first ep it was rose who got him out of trouble and in the 3 ep Charlie Dickins came up with the gas idea, with the doc just standing there waiting to be turned into a zombie. He also had no idea about these creatures, i remember when people used to say "Doctor, what is it?" and he`d say something like "Its a bimblibat from the planet howsyafather" and impress the hell outta eveyone. Ok im not saying im not enjoying the series, im just having trouble believing its the doctor, `Son of Doctor` maybe or even `Hey i found me a Tardis` hope it gets better.

No Cybermen in the current run, according to exec. prod. R. T. Davies.

by **maxpayne2409** on Mon Apr 11, 2005 11:46 pm

hmm thats odd i heard the exact opposite, that the cybermen and daleks are both in the new run in a press release from the bbc

by **wargand** on Sat Apr 16, 2005 9:20 pm

Thanks, but I prefer a torrent so I can actually watch this one in 1 - 2 hours.
