 Here we go again! Russell T Davies is back at the helm of Doctor Who, and what's this? David Tennant is back too? Why, it's a small subset of fans' dream come true! After Chris Chibnall's run, frankly, anything would have to be better. Now we wait for...hold up, November 2023? You're telling me that, after a calendar year with only three new episodes, I have to wait OVER A YEAR for three (probably four) more episodes? What is this, Sherlock? Well, it could be worse. (Actually, it is much, much worse.) Now, as we wait for the Doctor to return to our The previous thread can be found here. Now, the formalities. NO SPOILERS We have a designated spoiler thread that should be getting some traction now with actual leaks coming out. If you think it's a spoiler, don't post it in this thread! WHERE DO I START? You know what? I don't know. We're in a weird spot between showrunners, and it's hard to say where to start from in the current series. If you want to watch the original series, there are plenty of places to start. You COULD start with An Unearthly Child and watch everything in chronological order. You could also watch individual serials of all the Doctors and determine which you like the best. Keep in mind, don't shotgun a whole Hartnell or Troughton in one go, or else you'll get complacent. Those 60's episodes are meant to be seen one at a time, and if you only just rented the DVD, wait a few hours between episodes. The most popular serials for the original series you can jump into are: First Doctor: An Unearthly Child, The Aztecs Second Doctor: The Tomb of the Cybermen, The Enemy of the World Third Doctor: Spearhead from Space, Carnival of Monsters Fourth Doctor: Pyramids of Mars, The Robots of Death Fifth Doctor: Kinda, Frontios Sixth Doctor: Vengeance on Varos, Revelation of the Daleks Seventh Doctor: Dragonfire, Remembrance of the Daleks WHERE CAN I WATCH DOCTOR WHO? BritBox is the place to watch almost every episode of the original series. In addition, you're in luck if you're an American, as you can watch the original run of Doctor Who on honest-to-goodness TV (Retro TV and some PBS stations)! For the current run (for now): ON TELEVISION UK - BBC One (first run), W USA - BBC America (first run), most PBS stations Canada - CTV Sci-Fi Channel Australia - ABC TV Plus (first run), ABC ME STREAMING UK - BBC iPlayer, Virgin TV Go USA - Max Canada - Crave Australia - ABC iView, Stan, BritBox SHOULD I BUY THE DVDs AND BLU-RAYs? Just for the bonus features alone. THE ALL-NEW GUIDE TO BIG FINISH There are literally THOUSANDS of Doctor Who and Doctor Who-related audio dramas released by Big Finish Productions. In previous threads, I would pour over all the individual lines and describe them. With the great restructure of Big Finish lines, though, I have to adapt. So, here are some bullet points: -Doctors 1-12 have their own individual lines now, although obviously the first three Doctors are not played by Hartnell, Troughton, and Pertwee. Here's a handy guide: if it's current series Doctor Who, "Adventures" means it's the actual actors, while "Chronicles" means it's not. -The Companion Chronicles & the Early Adventures generally do not feature the Doctor, and some of them are essentially audiobooks with sound effects. Check the cast list if you want to know which is which. -If you have ever asked "what about <random character x>?", boy are you in luck! There are so many spin-offs featuring characters both familiar and unfamiliar that you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a series that makes you say "THEY got a series?" Some are good, some are bad, most are unremarkable. -Everyone has a taste, so don't rely on other people's opinions. For example, I don't care for or about Charlotte Pollard and her spin-off, but some people do! Some crazy people enjoy the story Nekromanteia - you do you! THE DISCORD Here it is. The future is now! FINALLY, let's take a look back....all the way to ten years ago! Someone asked what Torchwood was, which led to... Stormageddon posted:Torchwood? More like Crotchwood. https://twitter.com/bbcdoctorwho/status/1586330271141564416 Edward Mass fucked around with this message at 20:13 on May 23, 2023 |

By “Ted Turner” I was referring to Turner’s proclivity in the 1980s for colorizing black & white movies, which the article mentions.

The 60th Anniversary specials will air in November, followed by a holiday special sometime around Christmas featuring Gatwa's first episode as the Doctor. We don't know when the next full season will be other than 2024.
