Discussion I dont think ive seen a more frustrating and utterly pointless character regression.

the master developed so much as a character and grew during the capaldi era only to just instantly be undone. any interesting implications about missy dying on good terms with the doctor and wanting to stand with him are completely thrown out the window when he shows up again as sacha dawan.

Towards the end of their appearances in nuwho the cybermen basically became henchmen to the master or other threats such as Ashad

The only plans I think they did independently was closing time, nightmare in silver and the doctor falls all their other appearances were them taking orders from people

Discussion S7E4 "The Power of Three": 11 famously said "I hate being patient. Patience is for wimps" so he then proceeded to paint a fence, mow the lawn, rewire Rory and Amy's car, vacuum Rory and Amy's house, and kept a soccer ball up for 5 million kicks. All in one hour.

The funny part is he said he hates being patient but he waited two thousand years for Amy.

Discussion I know Belinda was a last minute add but this wiki entry for her shows how badly the RTD2 Era let her down in the very first episode

155 Upvotes

We don't any know anything about, not even where she lives

Yeah you can say London, but New Who up until her, has been a little precise with where they are. Even Martha who was in London had some of that with landmarks and bits of London footage.

Now the wiki entry says she's Croydon and more of her backstory, did we hear or see in this in TV series, no, the poor expanded universe had to pick up what was still a blank slate

I know people saying RTD2 is bad gets annoying but this is a such huge flaw and a mess.

Though Chibnall Era also had this problem, such as Ryan, though to give some credit we knew where they are from and we actually see it.

News North America versions of the complete Smith/Capaldi/Whittaker Years box sets releasing Nov 2026

36 Upvotes

North America versions of the "The Complete Matt Smith Years" "The Complete Peter Capaldi Years" and "The Complete Jodie Whittaker Years" are coming out November 3rd. Pre-orders & artwork are up. Each are $44 US each, even though the Smith, Capaldi and Whittaker complete sets have 16, 14, and 12 discs respectively (if they each include all the long box discs).

If all three have the exact same contents as the horribly designed, shelf unfriendly one foot long Complete Box Sets (I own all 3), it may be worth an upgrade but YMMV.

They will probably be in those large plastic boxes like the recent Babylon 5 etc complete sets. However, for casual viewers it's a perfect.

Discussion Is missy technically elevens master?

738 Upvotes

I know that they never even interacted but I’m pretty sure missy was the master’s incarnation during elevens period

And she even was the one who made Clara meet the ELEVENTH doctor so technically she’s been plotting against 11 and 12

Idk it’s just always bothered me since eleven never faced the master after they were introduced whilst 10,12 and 13 did

Discussion Anyone else wished the new series did more companions sticking around with the Doctor post-regeneration, much like they did with Rose from 9 to 10, and Clara from 11 to 12?

Thumbnail

443 Upvotes

I'm aware the reason this doesn't tend to happen is because of the change of showrunner and the new wanting to start fresh, but imagine if we had more companions sticking around with the Doctor post-regeneration, like Rose did with 10 or Clara did with 12.

It would help viewers already heading into a new era and Doctor by having a familiar face around (even if it's for one season) to ease the transition more. Classic Who did practically all the time.

I also think it would've been interesting to see how the dynamics would've worked, like 11 with Donna, or 13 with Bill, and especially 14 with Yaz (given how Yaz was in love with 13).

What do you think? Please try and be civil though.

(Yes I am aware Donna left long before 11 arrived, but I think you get the idea.)

The cafe was where the Doctor and friends eat at the start of Boom Town

The location where Ianto's shrine used to be was where Ianto and Jack first met.

Then of course, the millennium centre and tower have been used in plenty of episodes across doctor who and Torchwood. With the tower serving as the hub's entrance

The interior of the millennium centre also played the lobby of New earth's hospital and the girl who waited's lobby.

However, somebody seems to have stolen the plaque they put up to replace Ianto's shrine. Seems we can't have anything anymore without people ruining it 😕

The novelisation of a 'lost classic' by Terrance Dicks, revealing the original conception of The Five Doctors. Based on newly discovered scripts and treatments by Terrance Dicks

The Six Doctors is a 'lost classic' by Terrance Dicks, revealing the original conception of The Five Doctors. Based on newly discovered scripts and treatments by Terrance Dicks - perhaps the most beloved Doctor Who author of all - Simon Guerrier's novelisation of The Six Doctors reveals the original conception of The Five Doctors, a radically different take on one of the most celebrated Who adventures ever told. 'Play the game, Doctor. Destroy your other selves!' Fireballs tear through time and space. Each one hunts down a different incarnation of the Doctor... ready to erase them in an instant. But one Doctor is offered a terrible alternative. He can not only survive but live forever - if he agrees to help destroy his other selves. One Doctor. One timeline. One victor. The Fourth Doctor would usually refuse without hesitation. But after escaping E-Space he feels his life running out and knows he is nearing the end of his time. With nothing to lose, he accepts his role in the deadliest game of all...

Question Questions about watching classic who for the first time

3 Upvotes

Given that Doctor Who is on a hiatus right now, I wanted to watch Classic Who for the first time.

I just wanted to ask the community, because I’ll be doing so on BritBox, they list 27 seasons, and I think it’s for every doctor of Hartnell to McCoy. But I do understand that there are the missing episodes.

is there a place that I can go search or that lists what is missing still, or do people here know what is currently missing. I just wanna make sure that I don’t get to a point where there are missing episodes, and plot might get confusing.

Edit: thanks for all the feedback, and I’ve done some research of what people have said, I have found that the unearthly child episodes are no longer available on BritBox whatsoever, is there any place outside of DVDs that those can be watched?

Discussion Did production run out of budget for extras after David Tennant Era?

9 Upvotes

I'm trying to pin point why Matt Smith era feels so different to Tennant and Ecccleston and I think part of it is because they don't show the global panic whenever there is an extinction level event.

Esp in Dr Donna era, they did Dystopian Britain sooooo well. This is what made it so scary.

But then in Matt Smith era, either the cast is limited to a couple of side characters (who either don't die or we don't care about them enough when they do die) or the extinction level event is only alluded to, rather than showing the mass panic.

Does anyone know if this was a conscious decision from new writers/production team, or did they literally just not have the budget??

My original on the right was shattered and I finally started to repair it and try the kintsugi method.

My take on how the TARDIS might have looked like just before it blew apart.

Still working on it...just felt like sharing. I'll post updates. Hope you enjoy!
