    I'll say no more than that so as not to spoil the "experience"!

    A way toconnect the older fans with the younger fans would be to release the Rowan Atkinson The Curse ofFatal Death on DVD. Along with the extra that would come with the DVD (interviews with Atkinson and other case members, the other spoofs from the VHS, the making of) they could add many of the great spoofs that are out there on youtube and others places. Many of thses are not only funny but well done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35uYgSYXtfA&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYFy5-bFhxE&feature=relatedare just two of them that would make great DVD extra.

    I am just curious, how many of the fans here saw Doctor Who for the first time in 2005?


    I did,well 2010 actually but I started with the Eccleston era.


    And here are a couple of things I would have enjoyed that never happened:
    Would have loved a few more episodes with Tennant and his GI Jane daughter,and I don't understand why the writers didn't see the potential in that.
    "Lady Christina"(Michelle Ryan) would have made an excellent companion too instead of Miss Noble.

    Dunno how much anyone on here knows about Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, but with a huge amount of modding and the addition of custom tracks and scenery, it's possible to build just about any kind of ride system with the most immersive and believable themes out there.

    So, I was very excited when a friend directed me towards Hethetheth's creation: The World of Doctor Who - Battle Across Time, a fully-immersive dark ride themed to our beloved Who Universe.

    I'd highly recommend watching the video, even if you have zero interest in RCT3, theme parks or dark rides, as his work is just incredible.

    Did they get in new writers/directors/whatever when Matt Smith became the doctor?


    The reason I ask is when Eccleston/Tennant were doctors they basically went back in time,stayed in the present or went forward in time and fixed whatever was going on.


    Now it's all about twisting time and events to the point that people spend more time debating weird time issues than contents of the episodes.


    And what was the point of the doc faking his own death when he'll obviously keep on popping up all over the place at different times?

    Thanks,it was not well known in Norway though.


    I guess that explains his "death",big events sounds ominous!

    It was explained in "The Wedding of River Song" why the Silence wanted him dead so he had to let them believe they had killed him. Him still appearing other times/places is easily just seen as a past version of him before going to Lake Silencio.

    The production changes was why there was four specials (technically five since "The End of Time" was a 2-parter) in 2009 (and the second part on 1st January 2010) leading up to David Tennant's regeneration. It was also the end of Russell T Davis being in charge and so it included the Doctor visiting old companions just before he regenerates.

    It's interesting to note that Moffat deleted his Twitter account some time on Saturday evening, presumably because of the amount of flaming he was receiving (he had recently tweeted "Forgive my ignorance, is there a way to limit who can follow you and Tweet you?”).

    It would be interesting to know if this had got worse over time, or whether he'd just had enough of it. To be clear, I of course think that this is one of the downsides of Twitter, that morons think it's OK to flame people who are otherwise inaccessible. I'm just curious as to whether the number of morons has increased, as I'd expect them to be somewhat proportional to the number of sane, civilised people who dislike the Moffat era of Who.

    Hmm. His wife also tweeted that Twitter was proving a distraction. It is unfortunate.
