Doctor Who series 3 (spoilers very likely)

[BRM 220]

Yes, it's nearly time for the TimeLords return with 3 rumored start dates.

 

The 1st being the 24th March, which is just a few weeks ago. This seems probable as it's been published in DWM. Other rumored start states are 31st March and 7th April which is over the Easter weekend. It's maybe worth noting that the 2 previous series have started over the Easter weekend either way within the next month The Doctor will be back with us!!!

 

 

The 3rd series will see David Tennant return as the Doctor, but with Billie Piper leaving the Tardis Freema Agyeman will step become the Doctors companion in the form of Martha Jones

i know i know, best picture i could find

[Guest Al Stevens]

From what i have heard is this

 

 

The doctor is going to be intrested in someone in the final two stories and the rumor mill is going wild with stories with either the Master or the Rani

 

[Guest Nemesis Enforcer]

I am not sure about the new assistant, she is plyed by one the the extra type people from serise 2 and I think they should have got someone fresh, every time I see her I will just think thats her who died in serise 2 :(

 

Other then that can't wait for it to start!

[Guest Nicole]

 

Key phrase for the season is Mr Saxon, future prime minister. Played by John Simm, Mr Saxon is pretty likely to morph into the master at the end of series 3. Seen pictures of filming in cardiff to confirm this information, also seen amateur footage of what looks to be Jacks final scene in Doctor who before going back to torchwood. So many other things I've read/seen, but I'll contain my excitement for now

 

 

Human nature is actually an adaptation of a Doctor Who book where

The doctor gets amnesia and forgets he is a timelord and adapts to life on earth. I'm guessing the story could be changed in places, but Freema Agyeman has stated in interviews that the monster in this will be a scary scarecrow type thing, unless i've got the episode wrong

.

 

If all the things I've heard are near on right, were on for the best series yet.

Shame John Pertwee's dead then, he had the scary scarecrow down to a tee.

[BRM 220]

For anyone thats bothered RTD has now offcially confirmed that series 4 has been comissioned!

 

:jump

[Guest Nicole]

Thank God, was taking a while, although he did announce he was writing another christmas special but...WOO :D

[BRM 220]

Yeah they had me worrying, but to be fair it's a sure fire winner for the Beeb. Primeval just has'nt come anywhere close to the goodness that is Doctor Who.

 

It seems as if he was just waiting till the hype builds around series 3. Saturday evenigs just ain't the same without him. So much better than Ant & Dec

 

 

Two Worlds Will Collide

[Guest Nicole]

I watched about 15 mins of Primeval the other day, and I might be biased but I just found it to be really boring, and some of the acting was really hammy. Yes Torchwood didn't have great actors, but atleast it had some good storylines in the second half of the series.

[BRM 220]

Going to be a 31st March launch.

[BRM 220]

Press launch was last nigh and various tit bits have sort of got out.

 

quoyed off the Newsround website so it's pretty much offcial.

 

A top actor called John Simm has spoken for the first time about playing a baddie in the new series of Doctor Who.

The show will be back on our screens on BBC One on 31 March, and John will play a mysterious man called Mr Saxon.

 

"I play a character called Mr Saxon. I don't think I'm allowed to tell you what he is, but I'm in the last couple of episodes," he told Newsround.

 

And he's not the only new character. The Doctor's got a new assistant too - Martha Jones, played by Freema Agyeman.

 

 

Think this pretty much confirms that The Master will be back.

[Guest Nicole]

I read all the spoilery stuff about episode one and two, nothing extraordinary in it but it sounds great all the same. Hopefully this season will improve on series 2, which wasn't as good as series one imo :)

[BRM 220]

A report in today's Mirror claims Doctor Who star David Tennant has signed a "£1million deal to star in the fourth series".

 

Tennant's future of the show has been a constant source of speculation for the tabloids since he replaced Christopher Eccleston last year. Media interest was revived after David told Doctor Who Magazine:

 

"I think I now know how many series I'm going to do, and Russell, Julie, and I have talked about it, and will continue to talk about it, but I think it would be stupid of me to say more than that right now - anything can happen, and everything can change..."

 

More recently The Sun reported the actor would leave during the fourth series causing a mid-season regeneration to the 11th Doctor.

 

The BBC later denied the story, commenting "when a further series is commissioned, we will be able to confirm his involvement."

 

 

Hope it's true :)

[BRM 220]

Much like Rose's episode nothing that specatular but it was just a beddiing in episode for Martha and an enjoyed it.

 

Hope we see more of the Judoon in the future.

[Guest Al Stevens]

I enjoyed tonights show, alot like when we was introduced to rose it was basically setting up the whole world for Martha who actually seems to be more alike the doctor in a way.

 

Also i hope that somewhere down the line we see the Judoon soon as well.

[Guest Anime Otaku]

The Judoon frigging ruled, it reminded me of a baddie in TMNT when the captain took his helmet off.

[Guest Al Stevens]

Yeah Rocksteady (see told ya i was a geek lol)

[Guest Nicole]

Judoon are cool, a neutral alien of sorts. I enjoyed the episode, I like Martha, shes definately a match for the doctor.

 

BTW, the bit from the mirror talks about him getting a deal if a 4th season is commissioned. It's already been commissioned, so by now they'll definately know whats going on with him.

[BRM 220]

Yeah it was a undumb Rocksteady.

 

Loved the knods to both Rose and Adeola tonight too, gave me a smile.

[Red05 343]

If that episode is a sign of things to come, then I fear for Doctor Who's ratings. It was, in my opinion, crap. The show was rushed and the relationship / partnership between Martha and the Doctor in particular was developed far too quickly. The aliens themselves were cool, reminding me somewhat of The Fifth Element, but I didn't like the Granny blood sucker. They didn't seem to try with her at all, instead opting for cheap puns.

 

Overall I was very dissapointed. It's like they tried to put in all the 'cool' things about Doctor Who, but completely forgot about how to create a story and keep the actual basis of a decent episode.
