I started something but I didn't like it
(it also screwed with the timeline and made the special modern clara's first episode)

also oo shit
from the god complex "What's the alternative, me standing over your grave? Over your broken body, over Rory's?"
And what do they stand over at the end of Angels take Manhattan?
I imagined a long trip through time and space, following the TARDIS, while iconic quotes from each Doctor are played over the top. Possibly with a few ghostly images of memorable scenes overlayed with them. Most likely with a extended and majestic version of the Doctor Who theme to accompany it. Then it pans back, and in one long tracking shot, we see each Doctor (or just the voices and body doubles of 1-3) together in a shadowy type of place, watching the TARDIS in flight on a monitor. The camera goes around each of them, commenting on how and why they have been brought together to help 11 overcome some kind of threat.
Then the title sequence, with each of The Doctor's faces added - as Matt Smith has now been. Though something like this would probably be put together throughout Series Seven, Part Two - going back to the wishes of cameos of previous Doctors in different episodes, building to the anniversary special.
Ehhhh. Not a big fan of the "different versions of you have been brought together" schlick.

Um, I think you might mean "shtick", unless you're referring to female Who fans. :v:
I got a great idea involving the common cold, a zero room, and Time Lord anti-bodies. I'll script-ise it when I finish all my uni work for the week and post it if I like it.

Too late, it's tradition. I doubt Moffat will be the one to break it.
It's not. 2 and 6 met by accident. So did 5 and 10.
Versions of The Doctor teaming up with each-other. Same difference. You can't escape the convoluted explanations which would have to come out of an episode titled "The Eleven Doctors." Two Doctors is easy. Two Doctors in a Children in Need special is easier. Two Doctors and a cameo was simple enough with the Time Lords around. Four Doctors in a room is one thing. How about eight? Accident, I would think not.
Hint: your great ideas probably AREN'T all that great
Either way, it's a 50th anniversary special. There's going to be a lot of fan-service regardless of storyline.
Big Finish: The Light at the End
[QUOTE]The jewel in the crown of the non-TV anniversary celebrations is Big Finish's 'The Light at the End' a full blown multi-Doctor adventure featuring all five surviving Doctors from the original twentieth century run of the television series. [/QUOTE]
Yay!

Steven gets interviewed by his song again. Skip towards the end for 50th based questions.

I like to check the Youtube comments on Doctor Who videos from time to time to see new rumours and fan thoughts and stupid arguments.
Comment of the year:
"I miss Amy and Ryan"
Stephen's house looks like the home of a 70's Miami cop.
I kind of wish they kept the thing that the Doctor did in Flesh and Stone when he works out that time can be unwritten. He kind of mimes a clock/dial and then rotates it the other way, and mechanical sounds play.
so I was on IMDb [url=http://puu.sh/1LF58]"Overly Attractive Men"[/url] list (don't ask) and I noticed this

I like how they cite Tennant's work in Harry Potter but show his picture as the 10th doctor :v:

[QUOTE]In November 2013, Big Finish will be releasing Doctor Who: The Light at the End, a very special 100-minute story to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Doctor Who. Tom Baker (1974-81), Peter Davison (1982-84), Colin Baker (1984-86), Sylvester McCoy (1987-89) and Paul McGann (1996) will all reprise their roles as, respectively, the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Doctors, whose paths suddenly intersect when they face imminent destruction.
“We wanted to do a proper, fully-fledged multi-Doctor story for this very special occasion,” says writer, director and executive producer Nicholas Briggs, “and it’s wonderful that all the surviving Doctors threw themselves behind the project so enthusiastically. That’s not to say the first three Doctors don’t appear – we wanted to pay homage to the whole history of the classic series.”
The Doctors will also be joined by a number of their regular companions: Louise Jameson reprises the role of the savage Leela, Sarah Sutton plays the scientist Nyssa, Nicola Bryant is American botany student Peri, Sophie Aldred is streetwise kid Ace and India Fisher returns as Edwardian adventurer Charley Pollard.
“And that’s not all,” says producer David Richardson, “because Geoffrey Beevers is back to create mayhem as the Master, and there will be a number of appearances from some much-cherished old friends from the TV series…”
Doctor Who: The Light at the End will be released in two different versions. A five-disc limited special edition comes with two hour-long documentaries, plus The Revenants, a Companion Chronicles tale which began life as a free Doctor Who Magazine download. It’s performed by William Russell, who starred in the very first TV story as Ian Chesterton. The special edition comes in beautiful special packaging, and will include a number of exclusive professionally photographed images of the cast.[/QUOTE]

That's the worst photo of Matt Smith I've ever seen. :v:
He looks like he died and they sent him to a taxidermist.
While Tennant is benefited by a professionally took promotional image with warm lighting.

I wonder why it's not going to feature the ninth, tenth and eleventh Doctors? Do Big Finish not have the rights to use the 'characters'?

They're not allowed to touch anything created from 2005 onwards.

Can you imagine if they could they. Audio 6th doctor meeting Slitheen. 7th Meeting Silence. 4th meeting Angels. How would you do audio based Angels?
How would you do audio-based silents, for that matter.
A Doctor Who mega-thread. Where have I been?
Anyone hoping for Benedict Cumberbatch as the new Master? I'd love for him to be ginger, so he can hold it over the Master. It would be glorious.
too bad jon pertwee died in 96, i would have loved to have seen him in the 50th anniversary since he was the doctor that my dad grew up with when he lived in england.
[QUOTE=CoolCorky;39157904]How would you do audio-based silents, for that matter.[/QUOTE]
Audio would be a more subtle thing; those with excellent hearing would be able to hear those subtle noises, and when the person hears those subtle sounds, they will remember their previous encounters with the Silents.
I'm just curious how they'll work with the 1st to 3rd Doctors. The actor who played the 1st in [I]The Five Doctors[/I] did an excellent job, but can't see that working for 3.
This tweet from Edward Russell still amuses me.
[QUOTE]Doctor Who fans. They've no idea what's happening next year (truly they don't) but they've decided for themselves and are moaning about it.[/QUOTE]
ETA: This is also rather amusing. This video is not similar in any way to another popular BBC drama helmed by Moffat and Gatiss.. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=lo7p388bhG8[/url]
