He said that while there has been tremendous interest (and pressure from BBCWW [BBC Worldwide]) to do a Dr Who film, the show runners feel very clear that they don’t want to do one at this moment.
I don't see why a theatrical film couldn't happen again. But if another film happens, I would prefer it to feature whichever Doctor is in the TARDIS at the time.
I sort of wish he'd left with Matt Smith to be honest because now the next show runner is gonna be left writing for Capaldi's doctor, so there's not that much he can do differently, the character is already established. I think it'd be more interesting if the next show runner was given a completely clean slate in the same way Moffat was when he started.
* 4 if we count Bakers last series.
*The same was true of Christopher Eccleston but his experience filming the show was marked by on set issues which I think they fixed after he left.
Nice, isn't it ?
Also, I have heard the Howard Carter theme for the 7th Doctor Novel Adaptions. Me like, me like a lot. It gives you an idea of what Doctor Who could have been like, if it had continued into the 1990's, with a big brassy orchestral theme.

Sorry to have taken so long to answer your query. Well, according to my sources, the only footage showing Paris as it was at that time are the extracts from the story proper. No new footage, I'm afraid.
Speaking of Doctor Who and France, did you know there was one French actor who had played in a story ? It was in "The Moonbase", and his name is André Maranne, who's more well-known for his part as Sergeant François Chevalier, the long-suffering assistant of Clouseau and Dreyfus in six of the "Pink Panther" movies. Interesting, no ? Plus, that episode confirms that there's one language the Tardis translation circuit has trouble with : French.
Next : the mystery of Victoria Waterfield's undergarments.
Really... That's all we get? If Disney XD is better at advertising Doctor Who than the BBC you know something's wrong.
I know it's a teaser, but 10 seconds? There wasn't much point in watching it. I know no more about series 9 than I did a minute ago
Anyway, there's gonna be a Bond reference in the new series :D
I think this is going to be one of those things that sounds really cool on paper but will end up looking crap in the end, just look the skydiving bit in the series 8 finale. They really need to know their limitations with the budget because while the CGI has improved massively over the years it's still often pretty bad and nowhere near good enough to cover it up.
Been watching Pertwee recently many episodes I had never seen before, Inferno was good. I enjoyed seeing the Master omnipresent for a extended period during the Pertwee era, Delgado hands down the best Master for me. Ainsley had misfortune of appearing in some relatively poor Who episodes in comparison, though Ainsley laughing at fresh air and his own shadow was often amusing.
:)) Lego Dr Who teaser trailer, even shorter than the BBC .
I though series 8 stumbled out of the gate with the less than stellar 'Deep Breath'. But over the course of the following episodes, the quality did improve, reaching a peak with the superb urban horror 'Flatline'. That said, I still think that Smith had, at the very least, another series in him.
I prefer Ainley as The Master, with Delgado a very close 2nd.
There as been a sort of update on the Underwater Menace DVD, following a petition to get it released, and it's not the update we wanted.

"We're hoping to release more classic Doctor Who and we'll let you know when we have news."
I wonder what they mean... *Cough missing episodes cough*
;)
I wasn't a big fan of series 8 either. I thought it got off to a slow, disappointing start with Deep Breath and it didn't really recover until towards the end. It took me a long time to get used to Capaldi's doctor too. There were some good episodes towards the end of the series though, but overall, I thought it was one of the weaker seasons so far. Not as bad as series 6 but not as good as series 1, 5 or 7.
I think the first series is the best because while the budget was lower and the CGI was noticeably awful sometimes (especially compared to later seasons), the writing was at it's best there. I liked the way that it was very much grounded in reality, it sort of took a "what if the show was actually real?" approach and because of that there were some very clever ideas (conspiracy theorists obsessing over the doctor because of how he's photographed in different places at different times, he accidentally takes Rose home a year after she left so there's been a police investigation and her boyfriend became a murder suspect, Rose wanting to go and see her dad before he died, etc).
I think since then it's become more fantasy orientated and the doctor has become more of a focus. I think it worked better in the first series where the doctor was this mysterious figure, Rose was more the main character (because they needed an audience surrogate to introduce new audiences to the show) and the show felt like it was based more in the real world.

I won't buy them (I haven't the money, nor the sapce needed for the audios, so I stick with the DVDs for the time being), but still good news . Can "The Clara Chronicles" (What did the Impossible Girl do to help the various Doctors ?) and "The Ponds" (how did Amy and Rory manage to survive in 1930s New York ?) be far behind ?
@MajorDSmythe Regarding season 8 Flatline - Dark Water was a vast improvement, though Death in Heaven was a huge let down for me, I have so many issues with the episode and how some of characters were represented.
