    I am watching Turn Left now.

    Running commentary without real spoliers (though hidden):
    -- Rose's speech pattern is a bit off in the early part of the episode -- she slurs her word like she is coming off a shot of Novocain.
    -- The early speech may have been an anomaly --
    -- As an aside, the actor who plays Donna's grandfather is an incredible actor
    -- As a further aside: Billy Piper makes my loins ache :)
    -- Donna still doesn't sit right with me
    -- Rose saves the Doctor?
    ------- again?
    --Bad wolf

    ** Companions unite?

    Just finished "Forest of the Dead." This two-parter is now my favorite ever. Also found where you're getting the ones that have been released in the UK but not here. :up:

    I don't agree. It was much better than I thought it would be.

    And Rose does make a brief appearance ...
    she is seen briefly on a video screen behind the Doctor, silently calling "Doctor! Doctor!" However, his head is turned.

    If you've just watched the thrilling cliff-hanger to The Stolen Earth, you're probably wondering how we could possibly wrap things up in just one more regular episode.
    The answer is - we can't. That's why next week's, episode, Journey's End, will run for an amazing 65 minutes! That's almost 50 per cent longer than a regular episode, and even longer than the first two Christmas Specials.
    Make sure you're glued to your TV at the slightly earlier time of 6.40pm on Saturday 5th July so you don't miss a moment of epic action.
    If you can't wait that long, however, tune in to BBC One tomorrow just before 1pm to see a bonus trailer for the episode. We'll have it online here at the Official Site straight afterwards too.

    You guys get BBC1 over their? I kind of thought you would be watching last series episodes, that's why I never log in here.

    No, we can watch it on SciFi channel, they just run a few weeks behind. The last episode that was on was Forest of the Dead. You can also see them earlier online on the website Celtkin talked about. I also check out the offical website all the time. We do what ever we can to see the Dr.



    Off topic, BBCAmerica is getting ready to show Primeval. Have you watched it, is it any good?

    Ok ... I finished "The Stolen Earth" last night. I'm already going through withdrawal for next season. The cliffhanger would have been devastating if not for news reports stating that
    Tennant is back next season.

    Yeah, but next season is only 4 specials :sad:

    Have you heard why he's leaving? I know he had a brief part in that one Harry Potter movie, does he have a bigger one later or is it a different movie roll pulling him away?

    Well, he's not definitely leaving. I've read he'd consider staying beyond the expiration of his contract.

    O ... M ... G ... can't wait to hear your thoughts.

    I'll wait till they are on SciFi, they look good in HD on a 42" Plasma, and my mom comes over and watches it. She is the one who got me started back in the early 80's

    I'll watch it again on SciFi for the increased resolution. I was just excited to find a spot to watch it right after our British neighbors get their crack.

    I liked "Forest of the Dead" but my all-time favorite two-part Doctor Who has to be the one with Rose, the Doctor and Captain Jack in which Rose makes Captain Jack immortal in the 2005 season finale.

    Ah yes, "Parting of the Ways."

    Of course, now the rumors of BBC talks with Robert Carlyle are resurfacing. :rolleyes:

    Seriously, that simply was a brilliant performance by "Rose" when the Doctor transports her off-world to save her.

    This news?

    Torchwood info:

    Julie Gardner has confirmed that a third series of Torchwood has been commissioned and that it will be unlike anything we have seen before!


    Not only will the series air on BBC One, Torchwood will have a brand new format. The series will consist of just one continuous story, delivered over 5 consecutive nights.

    That's not the only thing that will be new about the series - Torchwood will have a brand new producer, Peter Bennett, who has previously worked on Torchwood and on Doctor Who as well as 'The Mummy', 'A View to a Kill' and 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom'. Euros Lyn will also join the team as Director. Euros has directed several Doctor Who episodes including the 'Silence in the Library / Forest of the Dead' two-part story from the current series.

    And just to add to the excitement, the show will boast some new arrivals in the cast as well...

    Julie Gardner says that she and Russell T Davies "are thrilled to be bringing Torchwood back for a third series. The new series promises to be a gripping and surprising TV event and we're certain the audience will love the team's exciting, roller-coaster adventures."

    Production on the new series will start in August.

    Here is a little info on a show coming to BBCAmerica, some say its better than Torchwood. I put more info in the BBCAmerica thread.

    Primeval Is No Who Clone

    The creators of Primeval, the British time-travel series coming to BBC America, told SCI FI Wire that they are trying to shake off any comparisons to the wildly popular Doctor Who.

    "It's the one question I've been getting asked about the most: people comparing the show to that Doctor," Douglas Henshall, who stars as an evolutionary zoologist who deals with creatures from the past and the future, said in an interview at the Television Critics Association's press tour in Beverly Hills, Calif., this week.

    Henshall has instead been comparing the show to The A-Team. "I was mainly trying to avoid the comparison of the show we don't want to mention, and so I picked something very different, and our show is more of an ensemble like that show was," he said.

    Primeval centers on a team of scientists who battle creatures that have come through unexplained anomalies that are ripping holes in the fabric of time. The show has aired for two seasons in the United Kingdom and debuts in the United States in August. Primeval already has a large following in Australia, South Korea and Germany.

    Of course, comparisons with that other British SF series are inevitable: Primeval counts among its writing staff Paul Cornell, who wrote for the new Doctor Who TV series and authored more than a dozen novels about the Doctor and his companion, Bernice Summerfield.

    But don't expect any crossovers with Doctor Who. "No, absolutely not will we have a Doctor Who character pop in on Primeval," producer/writer Tim Haines insisted. "They have very different worlds and realities. Anything can happen on Doctor Who."

    The world of Primeval is more reality based, said co-creator Adrian Hodges. But he admitted that he was tempted to sneak in a few Doctor references or inside jokes. "Every time I was tempted to even put in a vague Who reference, I stopped myself," Hodges said. "The worlds are very different. ... At one point, we considered a sly Doctor reference when someone got angry at another character and threw a box set of Doctor Who at them, but we thought not."

    Yes, I've finished the entire series this season. I misspoke. I intended to say that the last video in the string was the teaser for the finale. :huh1:
