I got 15 out of 16 so now I'm gonna go kill myself
Too that quiz a while a go, easy to get a perfect score. Now they should do a Classic Who quiz

BE HONEST.[/QUOTE] Wow, 13 out of 16 and I am literally a chronic lightweight compared to you guys. I haven't even watched a single episode since season 2 of the 2005 series twice, as I like to wait until the memories of a show fade enough that it all feels new again to watch (just watching through Farscape now, Bluray too, it's amazing and it all feels new again!). I just remember each of the pictures for one reason or another. Like, I knew instantly that the one with River was Silence in the Library because she was much more youthful looking back then as opposed to her run with Matt Smith. And the space suit of course. Anyway, I'm stoked with 13 haha
THe only one that challenged me was the pot of beans from the Eleventh Hour. I only got through that by a slight recollection of what Amelia was serving the Doctor, and that could've been thrown off if I had read things about eating a meal in the summaries of the other two. All the others seemed easy thanks to the characters and their state of being in the other shots. They could've made it more interesting if there was more like the beans snapshot.
16 out of 16 ! This test is quite simple
i got 15/16, got thrown off by one of the more obscure ones
The only one that threw me off was the shot of Harriet Jones at the PC, because I could swear there were shots like that in both Stolen Earth and Journey's End.
Nah, she died in Stolen Earth. That what made me know anyway.
Moffat teases Series 9 and people bitch about him not focusing on writing Series 8. There are reasons to track production beyond spoilers. :v: [url]http://jamiemathieson.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/i-am-writing-two-episodes-of-doctor-who.html[/url] [QUOTE]I should also comment on the attached photo. It was taken during a Who story meeting in a room at the Beeb that just happened to have an old Tardis in the corner. That sort of thing happens there. I commented on it and was told it was a 'real' one used for filming during the Davison era. Mr Moffat mentioned rather glumly that the doors were locked. They'd already tried opening them...[/QUOTE] ****** Somebody on GB has picked out tidbits on the original drafts for Name of The Doctor & Day of The Doctor from the 2013 Series Companion. [QUOTE]* Rather than Clara floating in a flaming void between the flashbacks of meeting the Doctor, we see Clara living in a cottage and dreaming of the Doctor every night (the flashbacks). The flashback contexts seem different -- rather than actual footage, they appear to be designed to be newly staged scenes with doubles. * There doesn't seem to be a stealing-the-TARDIS flashback in this version. * In the morning Clara receives two letters (one from the family she was looking after which just says "MISS YOU"), and looks out the window to see an overgrown and abandoned TARDIS. The sequence ends with her sitting against the overgrown TARDIS and crying: "Don't go! Whatever Vastra says, or River, or me, please Doctor, just don't go... Don't go to Trenzalore!" * After the Doctor and Clara sneak into the tunnel through the gravestone, outside the giant TARDIS... Another, older, 'pre-Matt' TARDIS without the St. John logo appeared alongside it. The door opened, and a coughing, spluttering figure emerged to see the first TARDIS... * As the Doctor and Clara enter the lower level of the TARDIS... Suddenly, they hear a strange scream, which terrifies the Doctor... but it's a scream only he and Dr. Simeon can hear. Simeon tells Vastra that there was a word inside the scream... At the crypt entrance, the Doctor admits that the word was his name. "And logically it can only be one person." * While most of the script up to the actual entry into the burial chamber is quite similar even down to the dialogue, from there on it's heavily different. * When they get into the chamber... there's already a set of footprints leading into the time rift. * The Doctor analyzes the rift with the screwdriver, and comments: "The Time War. The last day of the Time War. And the worst day of my life... And someone wants me to go back." * Simeon's goal is not to destroy every moment of the Doctor's life, but "to learn everything". There doesn't seem to be an indication that he is actually destroyed. * Clara stumbles into the rift (apparently to stop him), vanishes and reappears as Oswin and Victorian Clara before the Doctor pulls her out again -- we don't get the other scenes of Clara or Simeon interacting with past Doctors. Nor do we get an infinity of Claras, just a few echoes. * We do, however, get glimpses of Clara elsewhere in the eleventh Doctor's life -- the original idea was to use shots from "Big Bang" and the Lake Silencio scene where there was a crewmember in the back of shot, and make them into Clara! * As the Doctor thanks her for saving him, Clara starts to scream hysterically: "I know who you are. I've seen who you are!! I've seen what you become!! Keep him away from me!!" * After Strax sedates her, the Doctor steps back towards the rift, saying that he needs to return to the Time War to resolve it... He then speaks directly to River, and the script concludes with River fading away. * Not only is there no scene with Clara and the eleventh Doctor meeting the War Doctor, there's no place where it could go. The whole idea of the Doctor stepping into the rift to retrieve Clara didn't exist yet. (The actual War Doctor scene wasn't included in the shooting script; it was done months later once John Hurt had been cast.) So in short... it looks like the original approach for "Day of the Doctor" would have cliffhangered directly from "Name of the Doctor", with a previous Doctor (presumably the tenth -- but at what point in time?) already having gone back into the rift to the Time War, and the eleventh Doctor joining him with the express intention of fixing the last day -- with Clara being horrified by both his past and his future, he could be attempting to change both. With that as the hook, that would have ruled out large chunks of the "Day" action we got -- the UNIT/Zygons and Queen Elizabeth threads wouldn't really factor into a story which had already got the Doctors to that point. This may well have been the Eccleston version of the story. But what about Simeon? And possibly the most interesting thing? These are not ideas which were discarded early on; this was the script as of two weeks before shooting! Meaning that the changes in approach to the version we got were done in basically an "Ultimate Foe" timeframe. Whoa. There's also a changed line which made it into the shooting script, which has some interesting implications for what became "Time of the Doctor"... when he describes the "minor skirmish" of the war on Trenzalore, Simeon says it was "The Neverborn Queen and the children of the Final Church" which were too much for the old man. Between this and Clara's reaction in the first draft, it suggests that Steven was planning a version of the war on Trenzalore in which the Doctor's experience was significantly less Christmas-cuddly...[/QUOTE]
In that case I actually prefer the versions of the stories after Chris dropped out. I wonder if this was before Matt had officially dropped out too. It sounds like this was intended to go on a bit longer than 2 episodes.
SDCC Unofficial Blog [QUOTE]A representative at BBC America confirmed to us that there will indeed be no Doctor Who panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con.[/QUOTE]
That seems pretty dark. Clara screaming hysterically at the Doctor? Jeez.
[QUOTE]"I know who you are. I've seen who you are!! I've seen what you become!! Keep him away from me!!"[/QUOTE] That line leaked so far in advance that I was confused as to why it wasn't in the episode :v:
I fucked up at the one with the crying Cyberman, got all the other obscure ones :( what do you mean we aren't talking about the quiz any more
[QUOTE=Grizz;45208252]I was so excited by Capaldi, I was banned for being too excited. [/QUOTE] Holy shit, it has been 11 months since he was announced?

BE HONEST.[/QUOTE] I got 15/16 I got #7 wrong.
The worst image test would be classic episodes, but they're all the Doctor and his companion in the TARDIS before they go out.

THE DOCTOR RETURNS IN A [B]FEATURE-LENGTH[/B] SERIES EIGHT, EPISODE ONE: 'DEEP BREATH' [QUOTE][img]https://scontent-b-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/t31.0-8/10506833_768800306504778_2817117809978926574_o.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIzgoB8pXuc[/media]
please note: I believe that trailer has been specially shot so you might not actually see the tardis with all that fire and sparks in the actual series (the dialogue though has [I]not[/I] been specifically shot to the best of my knowledge)
I was hoping for Eccleston's "Do you wanna come with me" 2.0. Specially shot trailers are the most hype-filled. Great teaser. The dim glow of the newly coloured time rotor is badass. Change a little, change a lot.

The Breath of the Doctor 100% confirmed. Guess 12 didn't like the colour... of the TARDIS. Or apparently, the furniture. [img]http://s7.postimg.org/q3sssba4r/stuff.jpg[/img]
I got the Valeyard vibes off of the trailer. Oh and classic Vibes, probably due to Peter's voice.
