ASK ME ABOUT BEING ALLERGIC TO POSITIVITY

Chibnaill was head writer and co-producer of Torchwood actually, so he would've had near final approval on everything, and unless Davis REALLY wanted a black lady in a silver bikini and fought for it then Chibnaill has at least half of the blame for approving it.

Jeez, he's in that? His film career sure is off to a rousing start. What a waste of a good actor.

He's getting rave reviews for it though and is apparently the best part of the superb new Netflix drama which is out soon too.

He's done his time in the wilderness and now critics are noticing how good he is in different roles.

I think that:

- retconning the Doctor killing all his people made the character and the show much less interesting

- the Sixth Doctor was more well conceived than the Twelfth as a "difficult" version of the character

- explicitly making the Classic and New versions of the show the same has led to most of the best things in the New one becoming downplayed.

[/grump]

I'd be interested in hearing more on these.

I just assumed that Rose, being clever, knew she couldn't be in any of those pictures because she had already seen that she wasn't. She's always holding the camera.

IMO every episode should be Bill and Ted, the Doctor just going 'aha, your death laser may kill me but Im going to put a death laser shield just behind this curtain later on'.

Actually that was a joke, but more I think of it, I want a Master/Doctor/Missy duel where they just pull anti-weapon devices out of nowhere every 30 seconds for 45 minutes.

That's basically Let's Kill Hitler.

So whatever curse that hit Matt Smith that left him with A Good Series and then two awful ones has only gotten worse for Capaldi right? Like, that man is a treasure. Shame about almost every episode he's in.

This curse is called Stephen Moffat.

The only name that might be a known person is "Marc Campbell" who asked whether Doctor Who fans are called "Whoites", "Whoies", or "Whovians". But probably not since I think the one who wrote the guides is Mark Campbell. Though there weren't that many letters since one guy wrote an epic that took up a page and a half of their letter section droning on about random nonsense.

Was that guy Peter C?

Wait, we're getting a 2016 Xmas special? I thought we weren't getting anything until Season 10 in late 2017?

Christmas Special this year, Moffats final season in early 2017. Chibnalls first probably late 2017.

Moffat: So we write our first draft many months before the episode goes to air and then I don't bother looking at it again because I'm too busy sleeping with all the female staff and pissing away the budget on hiring my mates...
RTD (in audience furiously scribbling): I just wrote a better character in 30 seconds than Mo's managed in 6 seasons.

The Cloister Bell has now been so downgraded it's being used for when someone potentially doesn't subscribe to a youtube channel

They never even explain it in the revival series. To most viewers now it's just the Tardis alarm.

The shots with Capaldi are a great demonstration of this. On Doctor Who, he looks like he's in a movie. On Class, he looks like he's in... a low-budget TV show. I really hope they pick it up with the production after the first episode, because it really is a great idea merely executed poorly.

I've got to disagree. It's a much more impressive looking show than Doctor Who manages to be outside of the Tardis. Simply because it's budget can go on things other than new sets and props and costumes every week.
