New Dr. Who Episodes?

[sutekh13]

SciFi had a story about the third series of Torchwood filming.

The highly motivated team includes John Barrowman as Capt. Jack Harkness, Eve Myles as Gwen Cooper and Gareth David-Lloyd as Ianto Jones. Also reprising their recurring roles are Kai Owen as Gwen's husband, Rhys, and Tom Price as PC Andy.

Special guests in the five-part series include Peter Capaldi, who plays the role of Mr. Frobisher, a civil servant who is hiding a terrible secret; Paul Copely as Clem, a survivor still haunted by his past; and Liz May Brice as Johnson, a cynical covert government agent determined to expose Torchwood.

No Mickey, Rickey, or Martha mentioned.

That's actually quite surprising.  Since they've been hyped and hinted at in the last season of Who.

Terrible acting, terrible writing, terrible terrible.  I hope they do better next time around.

I'm assuming you mean Torchwood.

I dunno why I like it so much, although with Toshiko gone it's gonna suck a bit more.  I think I really just like the whole Capt. Jack character.

That and since they have crappy short 13 episode seasons over there.. its at least something related to Dr. Who.  I can't get into the whole Sarah Jane show though.

[Signe]

I kind of liked Tosh, too.  And I did mean Torchwood.  I've only seen a wee bit of the Sarah Jane show.  I think it might be a bit TOO geared towards kids for me.

[HaemishM]

I liked Torchwood, and thought it got better over time. Second season was certainly superior to the first if only for the toning down of the all-too often salaciousness. No Mickey, Rickey or Martha is disappointing, though.

[Signe]

I thought Martha was a terrible actor.  But she seems to have got a gig doing the UK version of Law and Order.  What kind of crazy nonsense is happening on British TV these days?

[Reg]

You just hate her because she's not Welsh.

[Signe]

Wait.  What?  Does this have something to do with the sexy sheep picture I posted in the lame-ass tits thread?  That was for you boys, that was!

[Reg]

Geeze I've been making all these Welsh comments and you don't even remember why? A while back I made a nasty comment about that horrible gap-toothed woman in Torchwood and you accused me of hating the Welsh.

Gap-tooth girls make the world go 'round.

I liked Martha, but it could be just cuz I found her hot.  But UK TV seems to have the same actors in everything.  Which is either awesome or lame depending on your viewpoint.

Was it wrong to be all "OMG ITS DAISY!"  When Jessica Stephenson did a guest role on Doctor Who?  If it was, I don't wanna be right!

[Signe]

Gap-tooth girls make the world go 'round.

I think you are confusing gap toothed girls with fat bottomed ones and Reg obviously hates sheep.

I'm not watching the new stuff, but I figure this would be the appropriate thread to post this.

Just watched the first 1963 story arc on DVD. I'd been warned about the low production values, but I thought it was stellar, almost an art move style. Luckily, I watched the first revision of the pilot episode rather than the second revision that actually aired. The first was so much more artistic with a much better performance from the Doctor. Surprised I enjoyed it as much as I did, the newer series (this thread) didn't do much for me. The discovery scene when the two teachers find the tardis in the junkyard and the doctor comes out and fucks with them was great...and they nerfed it in the second revision

The News of the World reports that two of the upcoming "Doctor Who" TV specials will reportedly be filmed in America next year.

With the full season being replaced by at least two specials next year, word now comes that these tele-movies will include not just a U.S. setting but a U.S. assistant as well.

Showrunner Russell T. Davies "is determined to go out with a bang and the specials will be explosive - we're spending much more money on them than normal".

Meanwhile the BBC have announced that "Torchwood" will have an unusual schedule next year. As previously reported, the third season will be cut from twelve episodes to just five.

Now its reported that these episodes, operating under the moniker 'Children Of Earth', will be shown over five consecutive nights on BBC One sometime next spring.



So bascially they are going what like 2 years without a real season of Torchwood or Doctor Who?

[Signe]

That's what it sounds like.  I'm not surprised.  Television in Britain can be odd compared to US television.  There have been other shows that I thought were cancelled and then suddenly appeared again.   I enjoy Dr. Who but I won't miss Torchwood. 

[Ironwood]

Because it's shite.

[Signe]

It is that, and more.

[Fraeg]

boo and hiss.

was really hoping to see martha and mickey in Torchwood.  Martha not as much as mickey
