    The Cybermen: Then and Now | Doctor Who


    The Mondasion Cybermen are may favorite, i loved it when Moffat brought them back during the Capaldi era, so bloody creepy.

    The battered Cyberman in The Pandorica Opens was awesome, one of my all time favorite DW scenes.

    ---

    i may give The Flux another watch, at least 2 episodes were not bad plus its a short season, then i will watch Jodie's finale again before the new specials air.

    Russell T Davies will be in the next series of ‘imagine’:

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2023/imagine-returns

    "imagine…Russell T Davies: The Doctor and Me (w/t) follows one of Britain’s most celebrated TV writers as he prepares to once again return as showrunner of Doctor Who. Back in 2005 Davies was responsible for relaunching the action-adventure series after many years away from TV screens, few could have imagined the phenomenon it became. And now, in the programme’s 60th anniversary year, he’s back - with two Doctors and bigger ambitions.

    imagine… goes behind the scenes at Cardiff’s Bad Wolf Studios to see the adventures of the time-travelling hero being filmed, touring the enormous sound stages and meeting Ncuti Gatwa, the Fifteenth Doctor, ahead of his eagerly anticipated tenure as the Time Lord, after the unexpected regeneration of David Tennant.

    Doctor Who is just one of Russell T Davies’ many TV successes, and imagine… traces the evolution of his writing, from his beginnings at Granada, writing soaps such as Coronation Street, to finding his voice as a queer writer on Channel 4’s landmark gay series Queer As Folk and to more recent successes, including 2021’s critically acclaimed AIDS drama, It’s A Sin. The film will also feature interviews with David Tennant, Helena Bonham Carter, Olly Alexander, Sally Wainwright and Caitlin Moran.

    A Doctor Who YouTube channel had a look at The Tales of the Tardis, really looking forward to these specials.

    Apparently Ncuti's first season will be regarded as Season 1?

    That's going to be confusing series it referred to as series/season 1. 1963, 2005 or 2024?

    Its probably got something to do with Disney+, that's what WhoCulture are speculating.

    Watching Tales of the Tardis Earthshock, so much nostalgia.

    Edited: these specials just appear to be a short intro of sorts to different episodes, I thought it might just be them sat reminiscing.

    Checking to see which Classic Who episodes are there The Daleks Master Plan is thankfully. I wish it was this time next week as I have 9 days off then I really want to work through some of these classic episodes.

    Did you see the Talking Doctor Who documentary on BBC Four tonight? Good fun.

    Yes, that's right. Apparently the Curse of Fenric one is the Blu Ray version with updated effects.

    Luckily there’s more coming, with both a Tennant-starring Children in Need skit and a new, colourised 75-min version of 1963’s The Daleks announced today.

    I have issues with the CIN minisode, it had elements I would rather see in a serious canon episode.

    I thought it was terrific fun, and surprisingly well-made too.

    I know it was for CIN, but I didn't find it the least bit funny, it came off as desperate.

    After Tenants return and ambiguity of that return in Power of the Doctor this was not the best way to lead on from that, I would rather have just seen Tenant show up for CIN and chat to a bunch of kids or something.,

    The scene felt half way between a legit minisode and a parody.

    Nah that's fine. It's much the same reason that lots of people have been saying that Bond villains should stop being scarred.
