sounds quite good, but not too keen on the new look TARDIS
I wasn't too sure myself but it's definitely grown on me.
In some of the old Dr Who's, the Tardis had white window frames.
I guess when the Tardis crashed the Doctor got some cheap double glassing company
to replace the windows.
Should be interesting
PS: they should make more episodes. Also, It would be cool to see Doctors Daughter again))
Jenny may be back. Steven Moffat was the one that asked Russell T Davies to keep her alive. Originally she was going to die.
The Tardis looks good, old'ish style, I prefer the one from S1 – S4 but I like it.
The Dalek with a new eyestalk is white isn't it? The next Dalek picture looks like he has a jacket on
Can not wait to see her)) Should be interesting episode)) In what season do you think she going to came back?
Soooo cool cannot wait till new doctor!!!
Companion looks okay and the baddies are cool
Weepin angels r back wwwwwoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
Can`t wait for series 5!!!! Really hope that Jenny`s coming back!! The Vampires look really scary!! It`ll be really cool seeing the weeping Angels and River Song again.Really can`t wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope the new season is not dominated with another Dalek ending. I'd much rather see a new threat (or at least one we don't see coming).
it looks as though the dalek is 'dressed' as a soldier – why it would have a canteen/bottle attached, who knows, maybe they are being used as 'donkeys' in the sense of carrying stuff for soldiers as the Daleks obviously can't reach round and access the items themselves….
Not so far from the truth. The Daleks are working for man, or at least they are pretending to!
New 1 second clip of Dr Who meating Amy Pond for the first time at end of video on
the BBC HD Internet blog page.
See; http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2010/02/...
I hope the new doctor will be as good as the tenth (IMPOSIBLE)
Cant wait for the new series to start I actually think Matt Smith might actually get higher than David in this series although the 11th doctor seems a bit more darker
