Goodbye, hello, and then some! – Discuss Series 7
As you’ll all know, filming for the brand new series of Doctor Who is now underway and, although it won’t actually grace our screens until the autumn, we have already been given plenty to talk about, and here’s where you can do it!
In Series 7, we know that Amy and Rory will be bidding farewell to the TARDIS after “a final encounter with the Weeping Angels”, and the terrifying statues won’t be the only familiar foes making a comeback, as the Daleks will also be making an appearance!
As soon as the Ponds have left the building in Episode 5 (scenes for which will be filmed in New York!), the Doctor will be meeting a new and “very different” friend in this year’s Christmas Special. The new companion will be portrayed by Emmerdale actress Jenna-Louise Coleman, who will lead the Doctor to “his merriest dance yet”. Hm…
@TWWL
Well, we’ll have to see about that when Series 7 starts, but I have to be honest, I’m really not gelling with the Matt Smith era.
I mean, I’m sure I’ll watch it, but I’m not sure I’m going to be watching it as a fan anymore. As I’ve said a lot before, Doctor Who has lost something for me, something I can’t describe even after two series of Matt Smith.
I don’t believe it’s David Tennant not being the Doctor, because I enjoyed Chris Eccleston’s Series 1.
As I said, I’ll see. I’ve excused Moffat in Series 5 and 6, I don’t think I’ll be able to endure Series 7 in the same way.
I heard the daleks would have top hats…
Am the only one who thinks Amy will be killed by the weeping angels?
They killed Rory enough… And its a shame the first proper encounter with the weeping angels for Rory will also be his last…
Also thinking the last encounter will be back at the byzantium…
Really looking forward to the new series. It looks fantastic so far I’m just hoping they show new trailers soon…
@Stewart
Well actually Stewart, Rory had an encounter with the weeping angels in the 11th doctor novel, touched by an angel and in the quick read book, magic of the angels :P so it would be his 3rd time
I’ve only bought 10th Doctor books before, think I’ll stop when I have all the ones I want. The 11th Doctor books don’t really appeal to me.
To add to what I was saying earlier though, I am looking forward to certain aspects of Series 7, from what we already know, but as a whole, the time (for me) we’ve had to wait between Series has been too long and I’ve lost interest, with a number of months left to go.
I just hope they have a decent advertising campaign before Series 7 starts, to reignite interest in the show. After all, according to some, viewers can be persuaded not to watch Doctor Who by the weather, so almost a year off-screen may have some impact.
Having said that, they are starting with an episode with multiple generations of Dalek, from Classic to RTD to Teletubby, so you’ll have different generations of fans, as well as those curious to see the first episode of the Series………Clearly, they’ve thought about it.
@JC
You should perhaps read at least one to try out and I’d seriously recommend Touched By An Angel. I won’t go into much detail cos I don’t want to ruin it but it is superbly written by Jonathan Morris and I think if you give it a chance, you’ll enjoy it :)
heya amy i know how you feel i wish i could do acthin thestolen earth with the tenth doctorsigh i wish i could could you you do me a faver lte him know for me thanks and get him to email me oky thaynkyou for doing that amy form your big fan tammyx
@Patrick
Yeah, I just finished reading the 10th Doctor book “Prisoner of The Daleks” by Trevor Baxendale.
It wasn’t bad, had some interesting ideas, but felt a little short to me. I’d agree that the ending, the sort of post-title sequence, to that book was great though.
Dalek-X was a good character and the part at the end between the 10th Doctor and Dalek-X was like something out of the show. Very emotive and atmospheric, very Dalek and 10th Doctor and I was glad the book was ended so well.
Anyway, I know I’m off-topic, sorry about that.
