General / Off-Topic Doctor Who: 50th Anniversary

[Oss133]

The December issue of Empire magazine has a big article on Dr Who which I am in the middle of now.

 

[Oss133]

Thanks. Will watch it tonight.

Just watched the mini-episode. I hope everybody immediately got the reference to the old stories...

Spoiler

The Sisterhood of Karn were in 'The Brain of Morbius', which was a sci-fi take on the Frankenstein story, from the old Tom Baker/Sarah Jane Smith days.

Yes indeed. I had a flashback to that scene in which Morbius' brain has to be picked up off the floor... pure gold

I don't suppose anyone here watched The Science of Doctor Who lecture by Brian Cox? These things are never quite what the nerds want to hear obviously, but interesting stuff nonetheless!

Very much looking forward to An Adventure In Space and Time, and of course The Day of the Doctor!

and of course The Day of the Doctor!

Even my 13 Yr Old Daughter is looking forward to this - she loves Doctor Who ( The new ones anyway )

I have, I have! Now going to listen to all remixes of Dr Who main theme.

Dr Who theme music?

Delia Derbyshire, the goddess of early electronic sound, was also responsible for this masterpiece!

I even have a FULL size replica *CLASSIC* Tardis. ie one with all the details the new terrible one does not have. Down to a vintage 1944 Yale Lock and flat head screws. Total perfection.

Only problem it is too tall to fit inside the house ! Arrghhh 4 years in the making.

Yeah, I watched it and found it very interesting.

As an aside, my daughter has her 17th birthday on 23 nov, and she has been heard to say:

Sod having a birthday party, I'm coming to watch Dr Who!

I must say that I approve of her attitude

Just watched it, I enjoyed it, it was pretty much like the R I Christmas lectures I used to watch until they stopped broadcasting them a couple of years ago.

Original Dr Who theme

I mentioned Delia Derbyshire upthread - this article is an interesting read, especially if you like vintage kit.

I hope so, that used to be one of my christmas highlights when I was a kid.

Going to see Day of the Doctor at the Cinema this Sunday with my 13 yr old daughter who loves Dr Who - Soooooo looking forward to it

 

[Frank]

I'll be watching it at the cinema myself. I'm a little more apprehensive about what this will be like. When all the little tykes get scared by Dr Who's monsters are they going to hide behind their cinema seats?

I promised my mum I would be brave.

But I'll be watching it at home with the kids and a takeaway,
