News


It has been announced today (04/08/04) that the Daleks will be in the new series after all. :) Go here for the full story-> http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/news/cult/news/drwho/2004/08/04/13394.shtml

Shock horror! The Daleks have been excluded from the new series of Who! This is due to copyright issues (the Daleks aren't owned by the BBC, but the estate of the person that came up with them), not because they would upstage Billie Piper. Funnyily enough, the BBC Dead Ringers show predicted this. Impressionist as Greg Dyke "Alright you can have Doctor Who! But not the Daleks! They've crossed me once too often!".

The BBC are now rerunning the series Shada on thier website (at http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/shada). It is an adaption of the original storyline written by the wonderful Douglas Adams and features Paul McGann as the Doctor, Lalla Ward as President Romana and K9 as K9. Theres also a rather sneaky little appearance made by a Ford Prefect that anyone familiar with the HitchHikers Guide will appreciate

It has recently been announced that Billie Piper will be the Doctor's assistant to Christopher Eccleston's Doctor. Come on and start making it already! For more news go to -> http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/newtv/index.shtml or http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/index.shtml




Doctor Who with lyrics?!


"I cross the void beyond the mind,
The empty space that circles time,
I see where others stumble blind,
The secret truth they never find,
Eternal wisdom is my kind,
I am... the Doctor!"

Go to http://cat.ravensoft.org to hear the pilot Jon Pertwee theme tune that was never used.




The Legend behind the Scarf?

The origin of the Tom Baker Scarf has become a bit of an urban legend among Whoeys. The story goes that when the BBC costume department were designing a Tom's costume, they decided that he should have a scarf. Nothing special, just a scarf. They enlisted the help of an old lady to knit it for them and asked what she would need. When she asked for some wool, the BBC being the BBC, they bought the contents of a wool shop and delivered it in a lorry to her house. When they went to collect the finished article, it filled most of the lady's living room. The scarf you see in the episodes is in fact sections of the original giant scarf.
I have no idea as to the level of truth in this, but its a fun explanation.




What's your favourite Doctor Who quote?


[Cathos] "I don't like this, something wants us to go through this door. After you Brigadeer" (Patrick Troughton in the Five Doctors)

Jamie: "We're not like you."
Cybercontroller: "You will be!" (Tomb of the Cybermen)

The Doctor: "I can also withstand considerably more G-force than other people, even though I say so myself." (Ambassadors of Death)

Scaroth (about the Doctor): "My dear, No one could be as stupid as he seems" (City of Death)

The Doctor: "You don't understand regeneration. It's a lottery and I've drawn a short plank." (Time and the Rani)

The Doctor: "Maybe I'm getting to young for this sort of thing." (Invasion of Time)

The Doctor: "What does he think he is? A potting shed or something?" (Marco Polo)

The Doctor: "I don't believe you've met my young friend Ace, an expert in calorification, incineration, carbonisation, and inflammation." (The Happiness Patrol)

The Doctor: "Would you like a jelly baby?"
Leela: "It's true then! They say the Evil One eats babies."
The Doctor: "You mustn't believe all they say." (The Face of Evil)

[Dom-Chan] 3rd Doctor: Well, I've reversed the polarity of the neutron flows so the TARDIS should be free of the forcefield now.

*5th Doctor takes helmet off and starts pressing buttons in the TARDIS*
Tegan: Doctor, whats...
5th Doctor: Ah,you're spoiling my concentration.

Brigadier: Chap with the wings there, five rounds rapid. (Jon Pertwee's favourite line of The Daemons)

2004-06-03 [Dom-Chan]: argh, u spelt pertwee's name wrong. it's jon not john

2004-06-03 [Cathos]: Rats! I do that everytime! I'll go and correct it at some point.

2004-06-15 [Dom-Chan]: thx.

2004-06-16 [Cathos]: Sorry about the delays with running the game. I have a lot of things to deal with right now that don't really allow me much time for fun.

2004-08-25 [The Outcast Soul]: it wasnt copyright issues with the daleks it was becaus ethe owner of the rights to the daleks did not accept the first offer of money and asked for more so the bbc said stuff you then ;) i know these things i have contacts

2004-08-26 [Cathos]: Yay! Another member! *hands out jelly babies while poinging gleefully* Sounds rather like what happened with Colin's "regeneration". Again with the falling out over moneys!

2004-08-26 [The Outcast Soul]: thnk you for the jelly babie syep falling out ove rmoney cant wait for the next gallifrey convention

2004-08-31 [Cathos]: *looks forward to Picocon* It'll be my firstest con and I'm just slightly excited! It's being run by the London campus SciFi Society of my Uni. *poings happily*

2004-08-31 [Cathos]: Oooh, by the way, I have finally finished my very own stripey scarf. :) Its 15 feet long which should be about right if you scale the real one down for some one of my hieght.

2004-08-31 [The Outcast Soul]: lucky you lol if you ever get the chance go to the gallifrey convention in america it is brilliant the people i have met luckily my big brother helps out on it so i get all the inside gossip and news

2004-09-01 [Cathos]: I'm a broke English student, so on the wrong continent and with no money for flights. Nuts!

2004-09-01 [The Outcast Soul]: save up its what i have to do lol

2004-09-04 [Cathos]: I don't have the patience to save up that kind of money, plus I like to have a roof over my head and to be able to eat occassionally.

2004-09-06 [Moucher]: well this is me the outcast soul just so you all know i had to start a new user because of problems with the old one

2004-09-30 [Moucher]: come on people lets talk doctor who favourite doctor and why etc lets make this wiki exciting

2004-10-01 [Cathos]: I was watching a random documentary yesterady and at the end it said it was narrated by Christopher Eccleston. I liked his voice, so I'm slightly happier about him getting the part. He looks such a grumpy git from his photos, but I suppose Paul McGann does in a certain light when he's out of costume.

2004-10-01 [Cathos]: I've been drawing portraits of the Doctors lately (none of which look too much like the actual doctor) and when I'm back at college next week, and I've scanned them, I'll put them in my gallery. I'll leave a link when everythings uploaded. :)

2004-10-25 [Dom-Chan]: i don't like paul mcgann, i don't regard him as an actual doctor bcuz he was in that million dollar movie of dr who

2004-10-25 [Cathos]: Personally, I like the eighth doctor. Its not Paul Mcgann's fault he got a naff american script with car chases added in. The silly americans even decked out the TARDIS in victoriana! It would have looked much better in High Gallifreyan grey. I did enjoy the feelin gof space with in the TARDIS though. In the series' it always seems closed in and small some how.

2004-11-09 [Moucher]: tom baker all the way ive been watching him n monarch of the glen and he stillis the doctor he was the doctor he made the part what itis in my opinion
