Guest guest Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Hi Peter I do agree - I can't remember the names of the episodes but there was the one in France (Robespiere) and one in Rome? Both very good. BBJo - Peter Sunday, June 18, 2006 10:35 PM Re: New Dr Who episode Hi Jo Yep - they were good episodes, but I was thinking more of the "pure" historical stories where they just arrive in the midst of an important historical event and get caught up in events - no "aliens" or anything - just pure historical drama. They still do the occassional one on the Big Finish audios - the last one was a really good story where they find themselves in the middle of the Drogheda massacre in Ireland.... BB Peter - jo Sunday, June 18, 2006 10:15 PM Re: New Dr Who episode Hi Peter I too like the odd amusing quip - which, as you say, is not comedy. I also would like some historial episodes. I enjoyed the one with Dickens in it and Queen Victoria, even though they did not contain much 'history'. I like the settings to vary - some historical, some in different worlds or dimensions. BBJo - Peter Sunday, June 18, 2006 9:56 PM Re: New Dr Who episode Hi Jo >I would like to know why comedy is included in Doctor Who at all. It was originally a serious science fiction programme. If RTD > wants to produce comedy why doesn't he produce something different? I agree. I quite like a bit of humour, but that's not the same as comedy! I also really wish they would do the occassional genuine historical story like they used to do in the Hartnell era (OK, I know I'm biased 'cos I like history) - I thought some of those plots were brilliant, and were educational as well as entertaining :-) BB Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't so keen on The Romans, as they put a bit too much comedy in it... although nothing quite as bad as that last episode! They also did Marco Polo, The Aztecs, The Crusade, The Myth Makers (set in ancient Greece), The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve, The Smugglers (set in 18th century Cornwall), and The Highlanders set shortly after the battle of Culloden. Most of those were excellent :-) BB Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Hi Peter Yes, there were all good stories. I wonder if they will do any more. Do you know what the next episode is about???

I hope you're not gonna torture yourself any more.... next time you see Dr Who on, dig out an old Ramones record or something to cheer yourself up ;-) BB Peter - fraggle Sunday, June 18, 2006 10:37 PM Re: New Dr Who episode to see if they got any better.... how can you tell if ya are gonna like something er not if you don't watch more then 5 minutes of it?

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 For me it was back on form tonight with a major bombshell, two Dr Who adversaries battling it out in one episode! enjoyed it and cant wait for the concluding part next week. Also on BBC three Dr Who Confidential, it gave an insight into the new series Torchwood, which looks promising. Good old BBC Wales........

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Very good - amusing in places - the ghosthunter bit for one. I liked some little touches that tied in with the past - like him walking off in the wrong direction. It was quite scary with the cybermen breaking into homes - some nightmares tonight I should think. From what I've heard I don't think Torchwood will be my cup of tea.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Doctor Who - a sci fi in England - started in 1963 and carried on until about 1989 (help out Peter) and then started again last year. It is a programme that is either loved or hated. Jo - cortney aldrich Saturday, July 01, 2006 11:40 PM Re: Re: New Dr Who episode you guys are making me feel young and ignorant.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Hi Peter I thought it was great - and a nice surprise at the end... but I won't say any more than that as I don't want to spoil anything for those folks in the US who won't get to see it for another year...

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Hi Cortney Or perhaps you're just not a fan of the old Dr Whos... I wasn't born until the Tom Baker era, but I still love watching the ones from before my time... and there were some nice references back to old Patrick Troughton stories in particular (anyone else remember Moonbase?)

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Hi Peter Yeah, but I also don't own a television. So I tend to get a little lost when it comes to popular culture.Peter <metalscarab wrote: Hi Cortney Or perhaps you're just not a fan of the old Dr Whos...
