View Full Version : Christmas Special 08
What did everyone think?
I liked it. I mean I found it was different from others cos all the others had female companions and this was well...different
I knew that guy was human though :p I felt really clever :D
Although that Cyberking :lol: It reminded be of something from the Power rangers and those movies :rotfl: Oh that takes me back :lol:

I enjoyed it. Wasn't amazing. But it was some good Christmas fluff I thought :D
Can't wait for next ep now :crying:.
I loved it :) They always make the Christmas ones a little bit less intense if you get me.
I knew there would be a twist - i didn't think he'd be the next doctor - too obvious :p
I want the next special now!!!
I wonder when the next special will be :hmm:

I missed half of it as my nieces came round with pressies, but what I saw was impressive. Can't wait until the new series.
It was one of my fav xmas specials. I liked the woman who played the baddie, she was really good. David Morrissey was really good too (though i'm glad he's not the next doctor, because i think he would annoy me very quickly if he did a whole series). I didn't get the Cybershades though - What were they? They just seemed to be there, and did nothing.
What were the cybershades again? :p
all this hype that we'd learn who the next doctor was or have a hint as to who it was. and then we found out bugger all. what a total let down. and making it an hour was far too long! prefer it kept at 45 mins!
Yeah but I mean deep down every knew that he wasnt the next doctor
We have 4 more specials to get through, they are not gonna say who it is too early

i knew it wouldnt be him, but there was talk on bbc news and stuff that there would be a very big hint as to who the next one was
it's christmas day, the time when they get the biggest ratings, it would have been the perfect time to reveal who the next doctor was going to be
for all we know, Tennant being in them 4 specials could have been a ploy to make us believe us was, only to be uber shocked at a re-generation. after all the bbc have told us before that rose will NEVER return, and that the daleks WOULDN'T be returning anytime soon, and she/they did.
Maybe it was a subtle hint?

so subtle I missed it. i dont think there was one. hence why i feel cheated. the sooner Tennant goes the better if i'm honest with you. a re-generation is long overdue.
Well you know Russell is dead good at writing in like a finale episode you always look back and see all the hints you missed

:eek: Bryan you didn't just say that :eek: I never thought I would take to Mr Tennant after Chris Eccleston but I was surprised granted he's no Mr Pertwee but he has made Dr Who one of the best family programmes to watch. I would have liked to have seen David Morrissey in the role as he is a talented actor. I don't envy who gets the role as it is going to take some beating to fill Mr Tennants shoes.
Last I heard, they hadn't really thought about casting for a new Dr yet and if they had, I can't see them letting anything slip out of the bag before the 4 specials are aired, let alone filmed!
I loved it being an hour long - just long enough!
Dervla is a fab actress too - haven't seen her in anything much lately, and was great to see her as a baddie in this episode.
I really enjoyed it and will miss David Tennants spin on The Doctor when he's gone. I just hope they are sensible with their casting.....
I loveedd the xmas special cannot wait for the next series, just hope david tennant is able to film the episodes to his normal standards after his back surgury

If they said now though, then people would think that the new actor would be in the specials, not David Tennant. We must remember that Series 5 will air in Spring 2010 at the earliest, so naming the actor in Winter 2008 is very premature for any TV show.
I *hope* it is kept secret untill the end of the specials, but i *know* it won't. They will start filming the new series in summer, and the last special will air in Christmas, so it is bound to get out who the main main is in between this. It would be nice for the regeneration to be a surprise though.
Anyway, it is Russell T Davis who said those things about the Daleks not coming back and about Rose and stuff. And he is a compulsive liar :p The announcements about David Tennant and the specials and things were from the BBC, so we know they are true.
I read in an article that my Aunt gave me that Russell wasn't even certain that they would've chosen the 11th Doctor by Christmas.
Anyway, the special. I loved it, particularly the first parts with Tennant's Doctor playing the companion role where he was like, "Time for a what lord?" I wasn't so keen on this version of the cybermen; they sounded kind of older, like they would be found in Victorian times, and I'm sure the Doctor said that they fell through time. Loved the door thing with the "How's it sonic?" too.
I recon next series when davds still in it, they will show possible 'next doctors' and then we won't find out till the next seires, but to be honest, we will find out before its gets to the tv, cos the press will be hunting for them filming to get pictures of the next doctorx
i reckon the BBC will end up filming different actors as the doctor to throw everyone off the scent!
Yhh there is that, argh how annoying i hate waiting x
