I know, it's amazing - 106 missing episodes!
In the 60s Dr Who ran for about 45 weeks a years so 106 episodes is still less than half of the total made, so we should be grateful that so many somehow escaped the chop.
Karen Gillan (Amy Pond) & Arthur Darvill (Rory Williams) will be leaving the show permanently(ish) during next years series. Moffat has confirmed that the will be re-taking there roles as companions but it will come to a "heart breaking end", how ever what this means won't be revealed.
Doctor Who, Matt Smith (Who is at least staying on for 13 months) talked about the loss of his first two companions.
<blockquote>"Yes, absolutely…and Arthur. We’ve had the most incredible journey and we took over the show and we really had to sort of hold hands and help each other through it in many ways. So, yeah, it’s very disappointing. But, you know, one has to sort of remember that this show is about change and regeneration and that’s what galvanises it and pushes it forward and it’s about looking forward always"</blockquote>
However Moffat did confirm that The Doctor will not be traveling alone for long with a new companion lined up for joining the TARDIS soon after Gillan and Darvill's Departure.
Still can't believe we've got what is really one series over two years. X(
The Sensorites (Doctor #1 - 23/01/2012)
U.N.I.T Files:
Invasion Of The Dinosaurs / The Android Invasion (Doctors #3 & #4 - 09/01/2012)
The Face Of Evil (Doctor #4 - 05/03/2012)
The Daemons (Doctor #3 - 26/03/2012)
Revisitations 3:
Tomb Of The Cybermen: Special Edition / The Three Doctors: Special Edition & The Robots Of Death: Special Edition (Doctors #2, #3 & #4 - 13/02/2012)
And when is the next McCoy story coming? I'd like it The Greatest Show In The Galaxy next, but so long as we get at least one in 2012, i'll be happy.
Oh, and Matt Smith is just...weird.
As is The Doctor, which to my mind is one of the reasons why he's so good in the role. ;)
Certainly liked Tennant's incarnation, but he did have a somewhat irritating quality for me. Still, he was good and the majority of his stories (like most of those of NuWho) were pretty darn good. Think he rates about fourth on my Doctor list... :)
1) McCoy
2) Troughton
3) Smith
4) C.Baker
I think he definitely will stay until 2013, won't he? Because I believe the next series will effectively be split in two across the autumns of 2012 and 2013 - coming to a climax in time for the 50th anniversary. We'll find out, I guess.
Oh, and for what it's worth, here's my rankings... :p
11. Six (Colin Baker)
10. Seven (Sylvester McCoy)
9. One (William Hartnell)
8. Two (Patrick Troughton)
7. Nine (Christopher Eccleston)
6. Eight (Paul McGann)
5. Five (Peter Davison)
4. Ten (David Tennant)
3. Three (Jon Pertwee)
=1. Eleven (Matt Smith)
=1. Four (Tom Baker)
1. McCoy
2. Troughton
3. Smith
4. C.Baker
5. Pertwee
6. Hartnell
7. McGann
8. T.Baker
9. Davison
10. Tennant
11. Eccleston
Actually it looks like 2 series over 18 months. The BBC moved series 6 to autum so that it could have more episodes In the fiftieth year.
i think Tennant vies with Davison as my least favourite Doctor. He was miscast from the start. This emotional emo Doctor with the gravitas of a piece of Candy floss. While at the same time because the actor wasnt eccentric it had to be played which meant a succession of facial gurning, teeth flashing, rolling eyes, silly phrases and jumping around. At times he was embarassing.
And Smith weird? Surely thats the point of the character?
My rankings for the Doctors
1. Tom Baker
2. Jon Pertwee
3. Bill Hartnell
4. Matt Smith
5. Patrick Troughton

7 Colin Baker
8. Sylvester McCoy
9. Paul McCann (though I largely forget him)
10, Peter Davison

My ranking
1. Patrick Troughton
2. Matt Smith
3. David Tennant
4. Colin Baker
5. Tom Baker
6. Jon Pertweee
7. William Hartnell
8. Peter Davison
9. Christopher Eccleston
10. Sylvester McCoy
11. Paul McGann (he would have been a good Dr had he been developed over a proper series)
Oh yes, I do like The 6th Doctor, I think Baker got a right royal shafting off the BBC. I watched The Twin Dilemma again recently, that was a brave move to make the Doctor unstable. I would like to say that I wish he'd stayed in the role longer (and there's a part of me that does wish that), but at the end of the day, his departure meant that my favourite era of wWo could begin.
1. Tom Baker
2. Jon Pertwee
3. David Tennant / Peter Davison
5. Matt Smith / Colin Baker
7. Sylvester McCoy /Christopher Eccleston
9. Paul McGann

11. Patrick Troughton
I am such an Tom Baker addict in Who sense, I only knew him for a long time to be the Doctor untill by accident came across Davison which did do well in my book. It wasn't untill later that I figured out that there had been a lot more Doctors. If McGann had done a series he undoubtely would have been much higher on my list as I find his Doctor brilliant.
His performances made me discover Big Finish where I obtained most McGann tales and they are excellent. But there Colin Baker & McCoy have been handled very well too. It almost brings Colin Baker close to brilliance as the Doctor he was never allowed to develop in the tv series.
I have recently watched some Tennant reruns on the BBC's and they are very good and very accesable when comparing to the good Matt Smith. I hope that we get some uncomplicated tales from SM over the next two series. First up within a week The Christmas special.
There's no indication, yet, that more than 14 episodes will be produced between now and 2013. Even the '50th anniversary special' is being touted as being one of these episodes.
Really? As a fan of both genres I find that hard to believe. Pierce was doing Hollywood films and was doing well (Mrs Doubtfire). I doubt he would have changed that for doing a budget BBC Sci-Fi. Whos reputation after the cancellation wasnt great.
16 years were needed for people to forget the last few years and to wipe the slate clean...
I'm listening to The Doomsday Quatrain right now.
