Would love it if this ends up with Tennant and RTD reuniting for Fox's Dr Who, US-style

I'd be cool with Torchwood if it's within the existing canon - the Adventures of Captain Jack in America kind of thing. As for Doctor Who itself, hands off yanks.

I would only support an American iteration of Doctor Who if they did it as "Fringe" crossed with "Chuck".

Torchwood is goofy enough that I could see it working as a Fox show. But a US version of Doctor Who would make me stabby.

"U.N.I.T's on the way, Jack"

The DT doll looks like a lesbian cockatoo.

The Martha doll looks like a man

The Torchwood dolls are lolarious as well.

Doctor Who in war with Planet Maggie

Sylvester McCoy, the actor who played Doctor Who for two years in the 1980s, has revealed that left-wing scriptwriters hired by the BBC wrote propaganda into the plots in an attempt to undermine Margaret Thatcher’s premiership.

His revelation will reinforce suspicions about antipathy within the corporation to Thatcher’s government. Norman Tebbit, then the Tory party chairman, claimed at the time that the BBC was in the hands of a “Marxist mafia”...

They point to "The Happiness Patrol" as an explicit example

Think they confused Thatcher with Bertie Bassett tbh.

Always thought it was common knowledge that "The Happiness Patrol" contained digs at Thatcher, no?

Nicole, that David Tennant doll looks like Jude Law.

Yes, like a lesbian cockatoo.

"PEOPLE HAVE OPINIONS, EXPRESS THEM"

(New trailer to be released this Saturday, too - looking at an early-April start)

she's kind of gorgeous

That picture is insane.

That poster's a bit Harry Potter isn't it?

Amy Pond is way hot.

...tasty

well, I'm excited. Sea Devils, Daleks and the Angels from blink.

The new trailer did have an air of "Come to Thorpe Park, it's magical" about it though. That said, I'm loving Matt's general "Trougton-ness" and am qute taken by Amy's accent. Roll on the non specific start date of "Easter 2010 or summink".

far right, in the bubble?

feel like this trailer should've come before the original one which showed us loads of new stuff.

can't work out what the Dalek is saying at all.

"State your identity", apparently.

Easter Saturday start date, I'm hearing

Would make sense.

Did anyone else think that in the YT thumbnail, that was Tennant on the left and Matt Smith on the right?

No, but I see it now.

Don't mind if the swirly blue stuff is the new time vortex / title sequence but no Smith + companion floating around in it Matrix-style, please.

and the Angels from blink

actually really hoping they are literally the same angels from Blink because the original implication was that ANY kind of statue could be one of them but the hint in the Tennant finale was that they all take this weeping angel form. i just liked the idea that they could also be gargoyles, dragons, lions or whatever.

qute taken by Amy's accent

Can't tell from that if she's got her full-on proper Inverness accent, but I really hope she does. I think, from the way she says "flickering", that she does. Am very much looking forward to the idea of my accent on the telly.

nice descriptive url. it's an ems vcs3.

although, as someone points out, vcs3 = late 60s, who theme = early 60s

although although there is a Delaware version from 1972 or so that was never used. but i think a delaware is the big brother of a vcs3. yes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMS_Synthi_100

Whoa. Nice.

(Gizmodo does imply it was the original theme, but the actual ebay item description is very careful to point out that it was used by John Baker on an early 70s version of the theme. A few people seem to have queried this with the seller on the grounds that John Baker was never credited with doing the theme, but seeing as Delia Derbyshire was never listed on the credits either, uh...)

Interesting that it supposedly belonged to John Baker, who as far as I can remember doesn't even have playng credits on any of it (even Delaware was Paddy Kinsland and Brian Hodgson). He did a lot in incidental work on the show, but that's not exactoly the same thing. xpost

I don't know enough old Doctor Who to know what dvd is being complained about. Still funny, though.

Good thing she didn't look at the back of the Vengeance on Varios DVD box.

Oops, Varos I mean of course.

Except, of course, it's the Region 2 box in the joke which is unlikely to be up for rental in Canada...
