baddad Report post Posted June 28, 2008 Blimey, wasn't Dr Roo good tonight!? OK, they went by the numbers a bit, but they hit every one - and they threw some interesting curveballs into the equation on the way! Best line on TV this week - 'Do you wanna swap?' (Bernard Cribbens to Billie Piper) and only moments before I'd twigged the best 'in' joke i've seen on TV in years - did anyone else spot it? Also - Elizabeth Sladen/Sarah Jane Smith (aka 'I've sprained my ankle ow ow ow'), I'm 100% certain I've spotted her Nissan figaro driving around TW a couple of times... next time i'm gonna look a lot closer! SJS was my fantasy girl during that 'difficult' period (a point of interest - her succesor - Leela - lives on the outskirts of town, but i never really fancied her - sorry, Ms Jamieson! )... Now, that in joke - I'm fairly certain it was Bernard Cribbens who 'blinded' a dalek with paint (amongst other things - he also used a blancmange like pudding) in the 'Dalek Invasion Earth' movie of the sixties, and he was up to the same trick tonight! No, I'm not a big Dr Roo fan - but my older brother had a huge crush on Roberta Tovey who was Dr Roo's assistant in the movie, so we did sit through it six times in rotation at Looey the Lion's Saturday Morning Cinema Show ... PS: spotted Susan Stranks on a Yoof tv retrospective afterwards... SS used to be on 'Magpie' with Jenny Hanley, and I had problems deciding which of the two I fancied most (when I wasn't fancying Elizabeth Sladen)... Made oi laff to see that SS has turned into Josephine Tewson, who used to be a poor man's Joyce Grenfall in all of Ronnie Barker's early sit-coms! Were there any spoilers regarding the regeneration? I hardly ever read a paper etc, so wouldn't know - but if they did manage to keep it a secret big thumbs all round Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pookie170 Report post Posted June 28, 2008 Didn't ol' Bernie kill Daleks by soaking them with water last time round? Not really into Dr Who meself, but Cal's mad keen on it. Just what I want to see, Billie Piper prancing about doing her 'serious' pout and waving about an oversized machine gun that looks like its been made from old toilet roll tubes and double-sided-sticky-back-plastic....... However, nearly made the boys spill their dinner when I shouted 'LOOK!!!IT'S SHAUN'S MUM!!!' (thon wife that was....erm...Shaun's mum in Shaun of the Dead.....Now THATS good entertainment!!!! ) Esther x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bard Report post Posted June 28, 2008 Everyone is Dr Who fans in this house, even OH whose Dr was William Hartnell! B doesn't really care which actor plays the Dr, he was delighted by Daleks and very keen on watching the 'confidential' bit afterwards on BBC3. G has disappeared up to her room to hide her broken heart at the thought of losing her Doctor. No real spoilers yet, but there was a rumour that James Nesbitt wanted the part. After this, there's going to be a looonnng break with a few specials thrown in, and the next series is in 2010. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pearl Report post Posted June 28, 2008 yup we were on the edge of our seats too. If he truly is regenerating, I will really miss David Tennant I really liked Christopher Eccleston, but thought DT even better. Mr p once saw CE on a train to Manchester. They looked at each other & nodded Planning to buy the DVDs with both of em (for JP of course ) Oh & I caught that retrospective as well. As I remember, the cool kids watched Magpie, the geeks watched Blue Peter. She should not have gone blonde though. What was that lovely guys name who co presented with her?

Flora Report post Posted June 28, 2008 Well I was out tonight so haven't been watching the box...... went for a drink and for home made risotto and rose wine.....

baddad Report post Posted June 28, 2008 What was that lovely guys name who co presented with her? There were two - one was a tall dark haired guy with a curly perm who looked a bit like Peter Wyngarde but thought he was Marc Bolan (I think he might have even been called Marc something or other) and the other one was a shortarse blonde with a curly perm who might have been called Tommy Boyd (?) and he looked a bit like neil off of art attack... The tall dark one left to launch a singing career and sank... Shaun's mum also used to play the wife of richard Briers in some awful sitcom where the whole 'joke' revolved around the fact that she might have an affair with the bloke next door... it was a bit like butterflies only less funny if that's possible. hev - glad to oblige... hope you're managing to keep up Talking of shaun of the dead - I watched Simon Pegg in 'Run fat boy run' the other week... wot a toikey - I should have known when I hired it and they asked if i wanted stuffing and gravy... about as funny as a carbuncle in the armpit... Anyway, back to Dr Roo... SJS still looks good... from a distance... I quite like that little Welsh totty from Torchwood - she fills a pair of jeans quite nicely. Lucky gap in her teeth too. Awww bless... Billie Piper... is that her mouth, or is she breaking it in for a horse? She's got a jawbone like Bluto from popeye! Also, i think they really have to come up with a new nemesis for Dr Roo... A midget in a dustbin talking through a ring modulator might have cut it as a super villain/master race in the 60's/70's, but it dunt really cut it in 2008. The Cyber men used to be scary, but the new ones are just too robot like... Ho hum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smiley Report post Posted June 29, 2008 Oooohhhh i don't normally watch Dr Roo......... little monkey is scared of it, and on weekends without little monkey, i don't normally bother putting the telly on..... Used to terrrify me as a kiddie too - used to clamp my hands over my eyes yelling 'No see me!!' BUT, Dr Rooooo was goooood! Made me late for the gig i was off too (and yes Hev, me 'ead does hurt, lol! <'> ). T'was very good! :notworthy: James Nesbit though................. ..................i like him. But as Dr Roo? Hmmmmm not sure about that one. *Smiley wiv headache* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baddad Report post Posted June 29, 2008 James Nesbitt? Blimey, one trick pony or what? If they want Dr 'cheeky oirish chappy with lots of the old blarney' he's the obvious choice, but look at what happened with Sylvester McCoy Did you see him (nesbitt) in Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde? He couldn't even manage a ONE dimensional performance - As someone once said about Charles Bronson 'His emotional range runs the whole gamut from A to B' - he looked like a ventiloquist's dummy! Actually, strike that - a vent's dummy would have been scarier... perhaps they should have done Dr Jeckyl and little Jimmy Krankie - Now that's scary... So WHO do you think should be the next WHO if DT is giving up the gig? I did hear once that they had considered that bloke from Withnail and I - Richard (the third - cockerny rhymin, slang) E Grant... PLEASE NO! Quirky, fo' sure, but not in a good way... Perhaps they should have a GIRL doctor (NB - when we saw his daughter the other week I though - now there's a spin-off series if ever i've heard of one? Anyone heard anything?) or a GAY one (but please not John Barrowman again as over-exposure can irritate, or Graham Norton - ditto... how about Julian Clary? Hmmmmmmmm.... I'm sure he'd love to get his hands on a policeman's box...) or a black one? Perhaps he could transmogrify into TWO Dr's working as a team - Those fellas from the Mighty Boosh (actually, the taller one would probably be quite good in the role!) - or the Krankies again... Or they could play it for laughs - Ere, now 'ere's a thought - what about Jon Pertwee's son (Bill, is it?) - that'd be a bit cheeky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baddad Report post Posted June 29, 2008 yes thats the one I fancied. *goes to Google* Tony Bastable!!!! Thats been keeping me awake all night no, no no... Tony Bastable was the very 'straight' (as in 'normal' type straight) looking one... the marcy bolany one was called Mick Robertson ( I looked it up!) Bill Pertwee/Sean Pertwee oi got all muddled in my little head, didn't oi!? It's Sean Pertwee, of course... I think Bill Pertwee was the bloke who played the warden in Dad's Army (?)... Maybe a brother of Jon or something? Occured to me after posting, if they DID have a gay Dr Roo he could be Dr Ooooh, you are awful! (ooooh, look at the muck in this tardis - hasn't been dusted in millenia) Does anyone know why Dr Who is always (?) English and quite posh? Was he always a time lord, or did he get 'made' one - 'cos i seem to remember the 60's movies he was Roberta Tovey's eccentric grandad and human? If he was Roberta Tovey's eccentric grandad, that would explain why he always regenerates as a white, upper-middle Brit, but if he is an alien time lord why doesn't he come back as, say, an American or an Asian - or even as a blue and red striped Blonkovian from the planet whizzamagog? Or a girl (mind you, he'd have to trip over and sprain his own ankle then, wouldn't he!)? Mind you, she'd give the dalek's hell if they turned up during the wrong week, wouldn't she Tony Robinson as Dr Who? Yes, if they do decide to go with an alien that would work - and they'd save a fortune on make-up! My money's still on Jeanette Krankie... that's be Fandabadozie!

baddad Report post Posted June 29, 2008 I just watched last night's episode on the computer.... OMG I can't wait for next Saturday. My theory is that he'll be regenerated the same as he was before! Flo' Ha! I wondered that too... he'll have reversed the polarity on his flux capacitor or something, simply so he can say goodbye to Rose. Let's face it, he's never gone Nova before when he's regenerated, has he? Usually it's just a slow dissolve/morph from one face to the next, so summat odd's going on! Coming back to the original point of my post though - isn't it brilliant that RTD has managed to make Dr Roo such a big part of the Sat'dy schedules again? Makes you feel all mimsy, doesn't it. Perhaps we can bring back old fashioned Sundays too - Stingray followed by The Champions (I liked alexandra bastedo too) or Kung Fu then tuning the wireless to 'sing something simple' until the top forty starts and everyone has to be quiet while you hold your cassette recoder up to the gramophone speaker Tinga and Tucker and Auntie Jean - oh the wibbly wobbly way, the wibbly wobbly way... hark, is that Katie Kookaburra I can hear?

(never a good thing) If he is regenerating, how come River Song recognised him, when she was appearing in his past & he had yet to meet her? Eh? Eh? Oh that is easy peasy! He met her in a future he's visited in HIS past that hasn't happened yet because he hasn't gone back to it. He's got to go into the future after travelling back from the future into the past...in his future past. It's all to do with the space time continuuum and the telephone sanitisers and the number 42. Honestly! Wimmin! One thing that's a bit freudian though - what's Russell T Davis' hang up with the whole wimmin/goddess thing? Think about it - first Rose was 'Special' to the point that she is something MORE than a Timelord, and now it looks like Donna's going the same way from all the hints... all seems a bit odd to me. And wasn't River Song an archeologist? That would make her a Dr too... making her name an anagram of R, I've Snogd'r -hmmm................. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
