Was watching latest episode tonight and you got a very brief glimpse of the Doctor making some random doohickey with what I believe to have been a MP800. 8) Who needs a sonic screwdriver eh? :D
-
It was only on screen for a couple of seconds, but wasn't at a good enough angle to get a shot of it.
-
I had a check on Iplayer and I'm now pretty confident I'm right. IIRC it was around about 32 minutes in. Sadly I'm not quite techno-savvy enough to get a screen capture from Iplayer. :-[

So for posterity, ... Season and episode? :pok:

That's the one mate. :cheers:

Well spotted - And much better than the arbitrary nature of the sonic (Does whatever the plot demands of it) screwdriver.
My daughter and I argue about the validity of the SS every episode.

That's exactly why the Producers of Peter Davidson had it destroyed; it had become a "do-all magic wand". Doesn't exactly push the writers either, why think of something clever when all he need do is wave a blue torch around? :-\

Now you've started my daughter off - Matt Smiths was green! So there!

Oh, and IIRC John Hurt's was red, though I'm not sure the colour invalidates the argument. ;)
-
John Hurt - Now there's a Doctor!
Though I do like Peter C as well
-
I have to say I was a little worried after the first episode or two, but the last couple seem to have found his humour. Couldn't quite say if it was his performance, the script, the director or whatever but I'd say if you are going to have Peter C as the Doctor the humour needs to be as sharp as a lemon coming at you with a scalpel. 8)
-
It's a shame he can't swear like in the thick of it - a sweary Doctor would be fun.
-
I've found this to be one of the hardest adjustments after regeneration yet.
But he is finally starting to get in the groove of things. I still miss Ten...
-
He kind of set the bar beyond everyone though didn't he? Him and Rose were the apex IMO
-
All the NuWho actors have done a good job I'd say, but Tennant definitely tops my list. :)
-
I don't have a telly, and normally jut wait for the DVD box set to get to the right price :D However, I have seen the first three Capaldi episodes, and so far I am yet to be convinced.

I'd honestly skip forward to episode 5, that's the one I feel they find their feet as far as Capaldi's character goes. :)

and another reason for me to like Twelve.
Yes, it's an old thread, I know. :D

It's a little embarrassing to admit; but I'd totally forgotten about this thread.

Never seen the show. :dwts:

Sheldon and Leonard like it.

I rather hang out with Penny anyways so that works. :whistle:

I'm not really into the newer Doctor Who stuff, but a couple of weeks ago, I did see an episode from 2006 called "The Girl in the Fireplace" that was pretty good. I really liked the older Doctor Who's with Tom Baker (#4) and Peter Davison (#5). The special effects were pretty cheesy back then, but it left a lot to the imagination. The Doctor usually had some inspiring sidekicks, for teenage boys. :D

I was always quite a fan of Peri myself. :)

Here's a spot from the Classic series. Sylvester McCoy in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment with what I think is a Wenger SAK. (Time and the Rani Part 4)
-
Oh, and for posterity here's another pic of the Doctor with his Gerber MP800. 8)
-
I am surprised that the good doctor didn't use his sonic screwdriver instead of a Wenger. Might have to rewatch Time and the Rani. I never saw this thread. I think my favorite sidekick was Sarah Jane. She was so cute and little. Best wishes. Gary
:cheers:

IIRC they broke the sonic in Peter Davidson's tenure and never brought it back until the modern era. As far as I know for exactly the same reason that people moan about it now; it's too much of a "get out of jail free card". I personally don't mind it but I do wish it would do less rather than more and more.
