It was about a time travelling alien called The Doctor who doesn't really get on with his people (The Time Lords) so instead chooses to show humans the wonders of the universe thanks to his time travelling device called The TARDIS. A box that is bigger on the inside than the outside. An interesting fact about The Doctor is when he comes close to death he can regenerate every cell in his body and cheat death. This means he has a new face, new personality and new actor. This was done for 7 actors before the show was cancelled in 1989. After a poor TV movie in 1996 the show returned with a bang in 2005. This is pretty much where you need to start. No need to go back to 1963 and watch 26 years worth of Doctor Who to catch up. Most the episodes have been lost anyway. 2005 saw Christopher Eccleston (28 Days Later, GI Joe) play The Doctor, he left the same year and David Tennant took over. After becoming considered by many as "The Best Doctor" he left in 2010 after 5 years. Now Matt Smith plays the timelord. If you want you could start from Series 5 (2010 series) and get the idea of the show pretty quick. Oh. First, a few things you must know[/release] [release][b][u]What to know[/u][/b] [LIST] [*]The show is about an alien called The Doctor. [*]The Doctor has a time and space machine called the TARDIS. [*]The TARDIS looks like a blue police box from the outside. But on the inside, is another world. [*]The Doctor is a Time Lord, the last of his kind. [*]Time Lords were wiped out in a war with a race called The Daleks. [*]Time Lords can cheat death; they refresh every cell in their body and gain a new appearance and even a new personality. [*]The Doctor has gone through this process 10 times. He is on his 11th body. [*]During his 9th body, The Doctor discovered The Daleks had survived the Time War. [*]He also fell in love with a human girl called Rose Tyler. [*]During a battle with The Daleks, the Doctor was forced to regenerate into his 10th body. [*]During a battle with his adversary called The Cybermen, Rose was accidently trapped in another universe. [*]The Doctor obtained new travelling companions over the years, but he spent most of his life living like a lonely god. [*]During his life he witnessed the resurrection of The Time Lords, they desired complete domination of the universe, and he was forced to stop them. [*]His battle with the Timelords left him mortally wounded and he regenerated into the 11th Doctor. [/LIST] [B]-HERE STARTS THE 2010 SERIES-[/B][/release] [release][b][u]Characters[/u][/b] [u]The Doctor[/u] [img] http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100516052635/tardis/images/thumb/5/5f/Doctor_sees.png/200px-Doctor_sees.png[/img] A 900 year old Time Lord who has saved the universe way too many times. Over the years The Doctor has been put through a lot of heartbreak but he hides it well. He has watched his friends die, his family and his people. It seems he is finally starting to get over it a little bit. His latest body is the youngest he has ever looked. He has a reckless and spontaneous personality. He fires words before thoughts and like most of his previous selves, he is anti-violence. This Doctor has a new TARDIS and companion. Unlike his previous incarnations, this Doctor has a soft spot for children. The universe could be falling apart but if you make a child cry, The Doctor will rip you into pieces. He’s a bit weird and a bit alien. But he is a master of speeches. If you get on the wrong side of The Doctor, hell is going to fall from the sky, and you better run. [u]Amy Pond.[/u] [img] http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100510134738/tardis/images/thumb/7/75/Amy_tells_Rory.png/200px-Amy_tells_Rory.png[/img] The Doctor crashed into Amy’s life when she was seven. Literally. He came back when Amy was a young woman, and he showed her the universe. Amy Pond is a little girl living out her dream fairy tale. During her time with The Doctor[/release] [release][b][u]Spin offs[/u][/b] Doctor Who has two successful spin offs. [u]Torchwood[/u] [IMG]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090916163823/tardis/images/thumb/6/67/Ep00_CoE_torchwood_team.jpg/250px-Ep00_CoE_torchwood_team.jpg[/IMG] The ADULT DRAMA. A lot of fans would call this Doctor Who with sex and violence stuffed in. Torchwood is about Captain Jack Harkness, an immortal alien from the 51st century who thanks to an accident involving The Doctor, was forced to live through the 19th Century to current day. Another accident resulted in him being sent back to 27 AD and buried alive where he stayed until the 20th centuary. So in short, the guy has lived for a very long time. And he hasn’t enjoyed it. He is part of a Alien inverstagtions unit called Torchwood. I won’t go into detail but the show is pretty good. Especially the recent series. The show is now moving to America. [u]Sarah Jane Adventures[/u] [IMG]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080409195929/tardis/images/thumb/a/a9/Sarah_Jane_Adventures_Logo.jpg/200px-Sarah_Jane_Adventures_Logo.jpg[/IMG] The CHILDRENS DRAMA. If a kid is too young to understand Doctor Who, or a single man is too old ot have a life, Sarah Jane Adventures is usually the best choice. It’s incredibly watered down Doctor Who which jumps from silly to childish. But it doesn’t stop it being a little enjoyable. Give it a watch. You either love it or hate it. It’s about one of The Doctors companions from the 70’s who was pretty smoking in her day. And to be honest, she still is pretty fucking hot. Sarah-Jane basically fights aliens and she isn't afraid of anything, she does this with some wierd kids who act like they are either high or on a sugar rush. They take alien invasion pretty well, infact a little too well. It's really watered down Doctor Who, really, really, really watered down! But I guess it's not bad. [/release] [IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/oif861.png[/IMG] *More to add to OP, I didn't save anything I added last night. Expect videos, more character Bios, more spin off info, and more. But I made it so you guys could chat :)
Looks nice.
Alright, this deserved the title. [editline]12:35PM[/editline] Wow, beaten to first post by a canary.
Ahhh I can't wait for tonight
I was wondering when this thread was gonna appear.
[QUOTE=evlbzltyr;22897799]I was wondering when this thread was gonna appear.[/QUOTE] I stayed up late waiting for V3 to end, it didn't. So I went to bed and woke up late.
Yeah you took your sweet ass time making the thread! bah i love ya really. Tonight should be fantastic (to quote Eccleston)
Yehrrrrr Bloody of the Cybermen is out! [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw/theadventuregames[/url]
The scene the Pandorica Opens, and the Daleks appear and are like: "YOU HAVE BEEN SCANNED" That part onwards is the best thing Who has ever done. Rory is killing Amy, The Doctor is defeated, and we get a slow motion look at all his enemies. Brilliant. [editline]12:47PM[/editline] Gunna download that and play it next week. Saturday. When we have no Who...
Oh yeah old thread got put down just in time.
Can't wait to see the episode tonight!
Woo Blood of the Cybermen, thanks CarlBooth for reminding me :D
Blood of the Cybermen! Fuck yes. Can't download it until someone puts a non-UK link up though Can't wait for the Big Bang, but I'm kinda worried - do you guys reckon the thread will die between now and the special? We should organise Doctor Who TV nights/days, watch a few episodes from the old series, new series, any series, and such. Grand idea, no? I would organise it, but being Australian I dont really know time differences and the majority of people here are UK, so I'd rather adapt to you guys. And my net sucks. Also, I saw an episode of the new K9 series today. It was tripe, K9 has a personality.
No, this thread will get to the early 20's and stop until Christmas. Unless some earth shattering news happens like a lead cast member dies.
Oh god, I can't wait til the episode comes out. I'm in Australia, and I haven't even seen The Pandorica Opens, but I NEED to know what happens.
Pretty much. Although it's likely that when the third Doctor Who Adventure Game comes out, it'll be covered here too, even if it is a game.
[QUOTE=Dan2593;22898031]No, this thread will get to the early 20's and stop until Christmas. Unless some earth shattering news happens like a lead cast member dies.[/QUOTE] There's not as much to discuss though. Perhaps the screenings are a good idea [QUOTE=Aries;22898089]Oh god, I can't wait til the episode comes out. I'm in Australia, and I haven't even seen The Pandorica Opens, but I NEED to know what happens.[/QUOTE] Same. [editline]10:07PM[/editline] Oh god, imagine the grief if Matt Smith died, I'd be so upset.
[QUOTE=killerteacup;22898112]Same.[/QUOTE] Whereabouts do you live?
[QUOTE=killerteacup;22898112]Oh god, imagine the grief if Matt Smith died, I'd be so upset.[/QUOTE] He isn't going to die.
Hooray, new thread. I've got a friend recording the next ep in the UK, and he'll send me the files later :buddy:

Or a terrorist attack! [editline]01:15PM[/editline] OR A DAVID TENNANT FAN GIRL MIGHT KILL HIM! Or Tennant himself.
It's so soon! And then we'll all get Post Doctor Who Series Stress Disorder. :gbsmith:
