Looks amazing but does make me nostalgic for the old creaky "classic" series though, where not every story had to be part of an over-complicated arc or be overly obsessed with continuity / "Whoniverse" spin offs etc ; not every story had to have a direct link with the companion's back story; not every story had to take the Doctor or the companion on an "emotional journey" ; the season didn't have to build to an impossible "topping the last season" climax every time which now means writing themselves into a cul-de-sac and having to come up with an implausible "with one bound they were free" escape (Oh look we've destroyed the universe/blown up the TARDIS/ killed the Doctor, oh no we haven't let's just undo time/ it's a robot etc).

I saw the trailer for the upcoming Day Of The Doctor. Looks intriguing - it's been a while but at last they're showing us something of interest. I can always find something fascinating with a clip featuring all the doctors on display at once. There's not been many of them and it does make you feel nostalgic for the classic days. I know it was only a teaser but there's some great camera work there and all the doctors look awesome in HD colour.
I want to see some interesting developments in the upcoming special - not just cheesy kids stuff, not just "let's scrap all the danger for a childish reveal" (sorry that image of the red lobster still irritates me
). Let's make Who scary again - scary situations, scary monsters and not pitiful things we have to feel sorry for and hopefully some good interaction between 10 and 11. I'm hoping John Hurt will add an edgy, dangerous element to the story too. Some humour should be there of course but not over the top comedic bollocks like the crap monsters we saw during Smith's last series.

On Watch right now or starting again on Watch+1 at 15:30 if you've missed it :
Pyramid of Mars : classic 1975 sci-fi / Hammer House of Horror homage/mash up, with robot Egyptian mummies wandering around a country house in 1911 throttling everything that moves. Some of the best production values of that era, given the puny budgets, limited location filming and bias to studio-bound production of those days. Tom Baker at his peak ("Something's interfering with time, and time is my business"), Sarah Jane with a rifle, and "Mr Bronson" from Grange Hill as one of the expendable Edwardian supporting cast members. The Doctor effortlessly manages to switch from funny banter and deadpan jokes to Time Lord authority and even fear; and the villain conveys the absolute authority of the enormity of the cosmic threat to the world just through his voice despite the handicap of remaining sitting in a chair in a jackal costume head for almost the entire proceedings, and the absence of apocalyptic CGI to back him up.
I wonder if the writer of the original Stargate movie ever watched it as a kid.
RE: Dr Who - Doddle - 20-10-2013 14:07
I thought it was narcissistic piffle that conveniently treated some Drs better than others, and continued the fetishisation of the Sonic as a special gun.
EDIT -- I mean the trailer, not 'Pyramids of Mars' btw
RE: Dr Who - M-L-L - 20-10-2013 17:04
I have a lot of sympathy with that - they might as well call it the Sonic Dildo and be honest about it.
BTW I'm not a total "New Who" refusenik, I have liked lots about it throughout Eccleston, Tenant eras and a lot of Matt Smith's first series; though in retrospect even early on there were a fair number of just cringe making things (farting aliens, Big Brother /Weakest Link parodies etc etc ) but I realise I'm not the target demographic any more.

Beryl Reid of course had plenty of serious acting chops - she turns up in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy which would have been made around the same time as Earthshock.
