Missy Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I'm really digging this look. Like Smith's Doctor, however, I hope he updates it over time. (Assuming he stays with the program long enough to have his costume updated.)I love that he's keeping the boots, but has modernized them to Docs. Also, that's a very Master-ish looking coat.

Donomark Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Really liking it. It looks slick. It's a nice changeover from Smith's kinda of...for a lack of a better phrase, "hipster-ish" look in that this older Doctor doesn't need an older fashion sense.

slothian Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Flowing purple with no tie? I get a bit of Pertwee vibe from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I do too, but I didn't want to be the first one to say it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 The costume itself doesn't scream "Pertwee" to me, but the overall swankness does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightWing Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 The red coat interior echoes Pertwee's cape like crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenelou Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Definitely liking the look, it's got that understated sexiness that Pertwee did so well and the Doc Martens for a bit of punk rock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakob1978 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 The Pertwee vibe is definitly intentional. Just compare the photo with one of Jon Pertwees early publicity shots. I rather like it actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Little like a very dramatic M&S catalogue but solid stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=8Co9XRMBRj4 ...yeah, I'm feeling real confident about Capaldi as the Doctor. Spoilered as you can hear dialogue and see what may be actual footage towards the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathryn Slater Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Thought you guys should know that Dark Eyes 2 was released yesterday from Big Finish. It's an AMAZING story and well worth listening to, although you do need to have heard Dark Eyes 1 first. Also today they released a new Companion Chronicle an Ian one, called the Sleeping City and it tells the story of what happens to Ian and Barbra when they return home from travelling with the Doctor. http://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/the-sleeping-city-759 I've recently got heavily into the Big Finish stories and I was wondering what ones you would recommend - about from Spare Parts, I've heard that one and it deserves every recommendation everyone gives it.

Dan Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I don't listen to enough of them nowadays to really be able to answer other than to give the ones I always give: The Holy Terror and The One Doctor are tremendous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 On top of Spare Parts and the two Dan mentioned, I'd add The Light at the End and The Rocket Men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Evil Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Everything that Dan and Mike have recommended so far is great. The Chimes of Midnight is a pretty spooky story. Davros is a pretty great Sixth Doctor tale that delves into Davros' history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathryn Slater Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Brilliant, thanks. I've heard Holy Terror - Frobisher is awesome! The other ones are now on my list (although I own Light at the End and the Rocket Men, I just haven't listened to them yet) Also the companion chronicles series 1-4 are currently on offer - £5 for a CD or Download Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Paterson Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 The likes of Spare Parts and Chimes of Midnight are rightly often mentioned in lists of the great Big Finishes, but there are also some really solid and brilliant stories from slightly more recent times too. I'm quite behind on lots of Big Finish, but from the main range I really rate: 5th Doctor - The Kingmaker, Singularity, Circular Time, Son of the Dragon, The Haunting of Thomas Brewster 6th Doctor - Davros, Arrangements for War, The Nowhere Place, and the arc where he travels with Charley are all very good 7th Doctor - The Harvest, Master, LIVE 34, Red, The Magic Mousetrap 8th Doctor - Terror Firma, Memory Lane. I've also just finished listening to the four series of Eighth Doctor Adventures, which then lead into Dark Eyes, and they are by and large excellent, particularly the fourth series which really went epic.

Davedevil Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 In addition to those, I'd recommend Flip-Flop, Night Thoughts and Enemy of the Daleks, with 7. The Maltese Penguin's also a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Karen Gillan has the lead role in an (awful sounding) ABC pilot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 That does sound awful. However, 1) pilot write-ups rarely sound very appealing, 2) Gillan is an excellent comedienne (both on Who and on NTSB), and 3) Kapnek's show Suburgatory is much, much smarter than it seemed at first glance. I'm not saying it's going to be awesome, but I'd be interested to see if it turns into anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjoyadet Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 The Pertwee vibe is definitly intentional. Just compare the photo with one of Jon Pertwees early publicity shots. I rather like it actually. I am picturing the tenth doctor looking at Capaldi and Smith wearing a Fez and saying "So you're my replacements: a dandy and a clown."

Koete Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Samuel Anderson will be playing a recurring character named Danny Pink, a teacher at the Coal Hill School. Fingers crossed he kicks a motherfucker off a pyramid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
