Oh, that's a pretty good one from what I saw of it. Didn't see a lot though. Anyone know who the next Dr. Who is? The guy in the current series quit a while ago.

nope, dont know.
But they cant kill the daleks. There must be more somewhere in the universe? The most asked question about The Doctor was "are the Daleks in it?"
I mean, we'll all miss the famous "exterminate" if they are killed off...
I guess this dates me, but I have to agree with a review that said it's good but it's not Doctor Who. A doctor who loves, who points guns at daleks, who lets flabs of skin die and shouts "Fantastic!" is not the real doctor. Another problem is the 45 minute constraint - you just can't develop a plausible, reasonably paced story within it (at least not without US-quality scriptwriters).
However, it is fun - especially the Russell T Davies scripts that poke fun at the genre conventions - eg response to alien invasion: "we could always watch it on TV", cue hilarious sequence of fighting with baby for remote, trying to listen to the news over everyone else gossiping etc.
There's a new series of Doctor Who?! Where would I find it?
Canada, the north american premiere was April 30 on CBC. The new Doctor Who show is a BBC-CBC co-production, says so right in the credits. So the CBC got first showing in the north american market.Originally Posted by Mikeus Caesar

I like it. The money and time spent on the scripts really shows. I agree Ecclestone is very different to the classic Doctor Whos (Doctors Who?), but lets face it we all think whoever was Doctor Who when we were nine is the best one. (Yes, that makes it Tom Baker for me as for so many others, but he WAS the best, deal with it.)
There is a lot more in it for adults, the Dalek remarking, almost sadly, "You would make a good Dalek" after the Doctor has been ranting about how all Daleks must die was an excellent line. And for the first time ever I actually saw Daleks as creatures too, albeit ones that think they have to kill everyone else.
I agree that the running around with guns (well, a gun, once, and then there was the missile in another episode come to think of it) runs the risk of changing the feel of the stories quite radically. After all if the Doctor is going to solve problems with violence then he just becomes a sort of time travelling Indiana Jones. But IMHO its being kept within bounds, just. Also all these hints of time wars etc have given him a much darker back story and i suppose its more of a piece with that.
BTW its saturday at 7 on BBC 1 not sunday, I think its repeated on one of the digitial channels on sunday.

Using that logic there is no best Doctor Who for me. The series ended when I was 8 so there you are.

In that case, when's it on CBC?Originally Posted by lars573
It is pretty good, but I am not getting the sense of dread that I used to get in some of the shows in the old days... but then again I was young in those days!
Billie is better than expected. Ecclestone should wipe the grin off his face occasionally and I wish he had a more distinctive look about him.
ALSO... why are all the stories set on / around Earth... come on let's get off world.
@NeonGod: I missed an episode and found it on www.TVTorrents.com (or something like that).
For me Tuesdays at 8 PM AST, 8:30 PM Newfie time, and 7 PM eastern time. Also next week, Daleks W00T.Originally Posted by NeonGod
