Tom Baker's too old. (Of course, Peter Davison came back to reprise his role as No. 5 in the 8-minute sketch he did with David Tennant. I think that was "Time Crash", set between the events of "Last of the Time Lords" and "Voyage of the Damned".) |

According to this press release from the BBC, David Tennant will be leaving the show after he completes the four special episodes scheduled for the 2009 season--weekly episodes of Doctor Who will resume with the Eleventh Doctor in 2010. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7698539.stm |

I'm wondering what they'll do when they've used all twelve Doctors. The show is just now becoming more popular than ever (thanks in large part to David Tennant).

I want to see the old episodes again. I tried watching them on Youtube and other sources, but then they got removed for violating copyright. As if anybody shows them anywhere anymore!
Did anybody see the movie "Filth" on Masterpiece Theater on Sunday? It's the real-life story of Mrs. Whitehouse, who, starting in 1963, fought against the relaxed standards on British TV. I got the strong impression that she wasn't a prude, just someone who felt that violence and sex on TV were sending the wrong messages to young people, that sex belongs in marriage. She started watching TV shows looking for things to write to the BBC to complain about. Hubby and I laughed when she started jotting down notes while watching a fight with a Cyberman on an episode of Dr. Who (Doctor #2).

I'll be really sad to see David Tennant go. He gave the Doctor a whole new energy and cheekiness that I really enjoyed. Paul McGann was ok but he, like Christopher whatshisname who was just before Tennant, took the role entirely too seriously. Tennant fleshed out the Doctor so you saw how haunted he was by his past and yet how hopeful he was that the universe could be good and people could love each other. One of my favorite lines from the recent episodes was the Doctor calling humans "brilliant, stupid, wonderful people."

Okay. Time for the random Doctor Who question of the day. Does Captain Jack Harkness eventually become the Face of Boe? Rose Tyler, in "Parting of the Ways", made Jack immortal, but it's thought that he still ages, though extremely slowly. In his few appearances, all after about 5,000,000,000 CE, the Face of Boe is thought to be the oldest living creature known in the universe and, moments before his death in "Gridlock", calls the Doctor an "old friend". And finally, during the events of "Last of the Time Lords", Capt. Jack speaks briefly of his youth in the Boeshane Peninsula where he was nicknamed the "Face of Boe". Is it possible that during his extremely long aging process Capt. Jack Harkness actually mutates into the Face of Boe? http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Jack_Harkness#Future_as_the_Face_of_Boe.3F |

This topic has interested me, since I'm also a big Dr Who fan. My feeling is that, yes, Jack Harkness is the Face of Boe.

Does anybody know if any of the doctor who programs can be viewed online.....   I'd watched a few of the classic episodes (1963-1989) on youtube, but I've heard rumor that the BBC pulled those off the internet for copyright reasons--might be the same for the new series videos. I also tried to view recent episodes on the BBC web site, but those can only be seen in Great Britain. I'll see what else I can find over the next few days. (Personally, I have the complete first three seasons of the revived series on DVD and am waiting for the right time to purchase the fourth and most recent.) |

They spent way too much time last season bringing back the other companions (though I think that was primarily because of Catherine Tate's abysmal approval rating). Freema Agyeman was so good; I wonder why the change, if not merely for change's sake? |

Is she just too much of an annoying airhead chatterbox? I've only been able to catch the last two episodes ("The Stolen Earth" and "Journey's End"), so I really don't know for certain. The way I just described her character, Donna Noble, is the impression I got of her in just the little time I saw her. |

There was a spin off from the Doctor who series ...can anybody remember the name of that program ...i remember the first name of the woman jane ?? she has a super computer and she's battling aliens on earth while the doctor is away some were in the universe......  You're probably thinking of The Sarah Jane Adventures, starring Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith, a travelling companion of the Third and Fourth Doctors during the classic series and of the Tenth Doctor for the latest episode of the revived series. (FWIW, she is the only companion from the original series to return for at least one episode of the revived series.) Does she also have that robot dog, K-9 Mark IV? |

I love what a previous K-9 unit said right before he blew up the Krillitanes and himself in "School Reunion". Brother Lassar (leader of the Krillitanes): "BAD DOG!" K-9 (in a smug, self-congratulating robot tone): "Af-firm-a-tive!" |

IIRC, the Doctor left K-9 with Sarah Jane as a companion when he left her to save the universe (again).

Yes, I believe he built K-9 Mark IV for Sarah Jane after K-9 Mark III was destroyed in "School Reunion". |

The character is just plain irritating, and Tate is a decent but not great actor. I just don't feel any connexion to her, and in television, more than any other theatrical medium, that lack of connexion is inexcusable. |

I wasn't too fond of Catherine Tate's grrrrlpower thing she had going, though Donna did at least mention she acts like she does because she doesn't feel she's significant. My favorite of the new companions is Martha Jones, by far. She has an air of self-assurance that most companions don't have, like they're so grateful to hang out with The Doctor because their own lives are so pitiful. I was sad to see her go, but I was also happy to see Martha was moving on because she had her own life to tend to.

Interesting... I just found out that the actor slated to play the Eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith, is, at 26, the youngest actor ever to be cast as the Doctor (three years younger than No. 5, Peter Davison, when he took the job in 1980). Even more interesting is that one of the candidates for the role of No. 11 was Sean Pertwee, son of the actor who played the Third Doctor, Jon Pertwee.

I heard yesterday that Gillian Anderson of X-Files fame would be appearing in Doctor Who. I also saw how two other candidates for the role of the Eleventh Doctor were Billie Piper (so soon after playing Rose Tyler?) and Catherine Zeta Jones (I just can't imagine her as the Doctor). |

NO! NO! It must not be so! I didn't like Billie Piper at all. I really wish the character of Martha Jones hadn't been written off so easily... she was the one companion who wasn't all slobbery over the Doctor at all times. |

And Catherine Tate wasn't any better than Billie Piper. It really says something about her when the writers felt it necessary to bring back the last two companions rather than continue with Tate until the end of the season. Agyeman and Tennant just had a chemistry that was so much fun to watch. That's rare and special thing. |
