Doctor Who - Spoilers!

That's what I thought it looked like too.

 

[DGTWoodward]

That sounds like WHO alumni Mark Sheppard doing the V.O. too.

 

[Matt S]

Definitely Mark Sheppard

 

[DGTWoodward]

Definitely Mark Sheppard

He has almost as distinctive a voice as his father. We met his at a convention a while ago and he is a great guest, really loves mixing with the fans and has a great 'just be relaxed and chat with me' type air to him.

And he's quite funny (though a bit naughty with it!)

I saw this yesterday, I think it was on reddit. William Hartnell used to occasionally visit children in hospitals in his full Doctor costume.

I have a feeling he was a pretty decent guy in real life.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

Whatever his flaws may have been off camera, it's obvious he loved being Doctor Who and the impact that it had on kids.

Well, thanks to a Blue Peter competition we've got a confirmation that some old friends are coming back next series, and they're each getting their own sonic devices! These all look really cool, too! The kids did a great job on the designs. It'll be fun seeing how they are translated on screen.

Ugh, them! -_-

 

[JonWes]

What? They are one of my favorite things in Moffat's run!

 

[pixletwin]

I love Strax (his intro to the theater version of Day of the Doctor was one of the funniest things I have ever seen). I like Jenny ok. I just find the whole idea of an impossible female Silurian in Victorian England.

 

[Magpie 7]

I love them, the idea of a aliens living amongst people in Victorian England is great. Madame Vastra never appears during daytime in public without her veil, unlike Strax, who no one even questions.

Hi all,

Daron aka DGTWoodward passed away by a sudden heart attack on the eve of 19th Dec, here is a link to the thread started by his wife notifying us:
https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=137918

I have been speaking with Sharon, (Mrs DGTWoodward) and she has been gracious and kind enough to let us as a community send a token of respect to herself and her family, not to mention Daron.

We (Dave and mods) have agreed that we are going to pay our respects to our friend Daron aka DGTWoodward by having a collection which I will organise to send flowers to the family on or before the funeral.
The date of the funeral is not known yet but we can do this and send our thoughts to not only Daron but also his wife and family.

So, if anyone would like to make a contribution or donate towards this, please send me a message and I will let you know the details. I am in the UK so will sort out flowers and things and will try include all usernames of those who donate, on the cards of the flowers/ items we send.

Hopefully we can pay our respects not only to a member of our community who we have sadly lost, but also another member - his wife who is also an avid collector, along with their family.

If you would like to take part, please pm me and I will send you my details.

Not long now until The Time of the Doctor! I'm going to try to avoid the internet after the UK airing!

 

[lerath666]

Just discovered thy second doctor died in my hometown during a scifi convention. Weird.

 

[Doctor Who]

Few hours, lads. I am excited.

 

[Desamo]

It's the end but the moment has been prepared for. I will cry when doctor regenerates.

 

[Doctor Who]

That was awesome.

Spoiler:

but I expected the regeneration to take longer..

 

[Magpie 7]

Disappointed!!!

Spoiler:

The story went round in circles without any progression right up to the conclusion, which was the one highlight. I think they've pushed the mystery of the Doctor's name until its become boring and hopefully it'll be put to bed with the end of the 3 story arc. The whole episode felt like it was forced because of events of the 50th and Matt Smith's departure. But why, why, why was there no proper regeneration scene....no Smith morphing into Capaldi???

 

[Doctor Who]

Spoiler:

I was very used to every regeneration being a slow fade. It was just "SNAP" this time. It didn't really capture me and the goodbye wasn't all that sad. The scene with Amy was nice but I expected the change itself to take a lot longer. It was just a simple camera cut. I did like the "D'you happen to know how to fly this thing?" line but the kidney thing was kind of eeeeeh. We got very little time with him, it didn't set his character. I felt they handled it better in the past.

Loved it! Three pitch perfect pieces of Doctor Who beginning with An Adventure in Space and Time, then The Day of the Doctor and now this. Just as moving as the other two, maybe more so. A fitting end to the Raggedy Man. Bravo Matt Smith. Bravo.
