The Doctor Who Thread

[Susan Foreman]

Gets ready for the incoming complaints and hate*!

Doctor Who casts another trans star in end-of-year special / Pink News

"...according to TV Zone and Doctor Who Magazine, more LGBTQ+ actors are set to join the Christmas specials and season 14 cast lists.

Trans actor Mary Malone (Vera, The Prince) will star in an as-yet unnamed role as part of the Christmas special episodes.."

* But not from anyone on this forum, of course, because everyone here is much too intelligent and open-minded to complain about such a small thing

The Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) ponders the ripple effect of sugar in tea with cafe owner John (Joseph Marcell) during Remembrance of the Daleks (1988).

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

This ^ is one of my favourite scenes in all of Doctor Who's history.

Amid the prospect of two factions of Daleks fighting it out on Earth over stolen Time Lord technology the Doctor has time for a beautifully quiet moment of contemplation.

Gone is that zany madman from the previous season as Sylvester knocks it out of the park and shows what a fantastic Doctor he is.

The BBC have announced a newly remastered box set of series 1-4 + specials on Blu-ray for October.

In its 60th anniversary year, newly upscaled versions of sixty Doctor Who episodes from the Ninth and Tenth Doctor’s eras are coming to Blu-ray.

These new episodes are now available to pre-order in one Blu-ray set. For the ultimate fan, this collection includes every episode and special from the first four series freshly upscaled to high definition using the latest technology, plus the Tenth Doctor specials, existing bonus features and a new specially shot extra, A Look Back Through Time and Space with Russell T Davies and David Tennant.

The boxset features newly upscaled versions of episodes from the following series.

Series 1

Christopher Eccleston plays the Ninth Doctor, an alien and a loner (it’s difficult keeping up with friends when your day job involves flitting through time and space) who meets Rose Tyler (Billie Piper), a shop-girl from the present day. From the moment she meets the Doctor, they click. They understand and complement each other. As they travel together through time, encountering new adversaries, the Doctor shows her things beyond imagination. The trip of a lifetime begins!

Series 2

The complete second series introduces David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor, with Billie Piper returning as Rose. The Doctor and Rose travel across the Universe, facing dangers and thrills at every turn. Whether that’s in Victorian Scotland facing a Werewolf, or on an impossible planet orbiting a black hole.

Series 3

The third series of Doctor Who is full of new adventures, new laughs, new heartbreak and some terrifying new monsters. From the moment the Doctor walks into the life of medical student Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman), he changes it forever. But whatever you do, don’t blink!

Series 4

David Tennant is back in his role as the Doctor in the fourth series of the hit sci-fi show! Award-winning comedienne Catherine Tate returns as the Doctor’s new companion, Donna Noble in this epic series that culminates in the Doctor’s friends coming together to stop the Daleks!

The Complete Specials

Five specials complete the Tenth Doctor’s journey as he meets new friends, familiar faces and comes face-to-face with an old enemy in a year of special adventures.

This Complete Specials includes all the Doctor Who Specials from 2009 – The Next Doctor, Planet of the Dead, The Waters of Mars, The End of Time – Part One and The End of Time – Part Two.

This boxset features eighteen discs containing sixty episodes of timeless adventures, remembered forever!

If they've fixed the issues with the original Blu's then i'm interested. If they haven't then i'll stick with the dvd's.
