Lockdown Update Day 251

HAPPY DOCTOR WHO DAY!



And then, from the Doctor Who Lockdown team - legit got choked up:













(Direct link here, including tiny clip & poster!)

I... forget that this is a show that is actually CURRENT? And that we will get more? S12 was pre-lockdown, so it feels like decades ago.



ETA: Watched The Christmas Invasion. (Because that's where we were up to in our re-watch.) SO MUCH FUN!

The teenager's opinion: I prefer old Doctor Who to New Doctor Who
Me: This IS New Doctor Who!

*g*

Also I stand by my 'Dr Who as a metaphor for the UK' analogy. The Doctor toppled Harriet Jones and destroyed Britain's Golden Age. And here we are.

Wearing a big bow and nothing else... ;)
LOL, now that's wishful thinking! (I'm sure JB would do that in a flash! :-D )

I honestly don't know how to feel.
I have to say I'm coming to this much more as a Jack fan and a Jack role-player (new canon to play with!!!) than a DW fan, so I'll be happy just to have him there, as I was last time. :-)

He SO would. And so would Jack (let's be honest) but TPTB won't let him...
Well, I don't know, I mean they did have the defabricator, once upon a time... :-D

Oh same here. And it looks like it'll be FUN Jack, whom I've missed since... I don't even know. 2010?
Well, we had fun Jack in that one ep last year but before that... Not in Miracle Day, that I can remember, not in CoE except a few glimpses, so... S2? 2009? :-(

LOL. :-D

Oh yes, the DW S4 finale, of course! See, that's the thing. On DW, Jack could be fun, because he was playing the sidekick again...

I loved seeing Delia Derbyshire's name in the credits.

Haha, I love Georgia. Her sense of humour is amazing.

I'm happy to have Jack back, even if I'm not as fond of John I used to be.

I know Moff wanted to have him back for A Good Man Goes To War but he was in America filming TW. And I think after that, there wasn't much chance to have him back.

LMAO! Yeah, it would have been better for Jack to be in DW instead of THAT, but yeah...
