The Doctor Who 2010 Christmas specials rumors and speculations thread

Rather than have 20 threads pertaining to the upcoming Christmas special(which is still 6 months away) I thought one giant one would be better.

Ha. Nice title.

 

Re: The Doctor Who 2010 Christmas specials rumors and speculations thr

So I take it rumours regarding a special guest star from Doctor Who's past were false after all?

 

Re: The Doctor Who 2010 Christmas specials rumors and speculations thr

Very cool. I've been looking forward to the Christmas special since the end of "The Big Bang".

 

Re: The Doctor Who 2010 Christmas specials rumors and speculations thr

Still too early to tell. If the special guest star turned out to be true then i'd expect BBC would like to keep it a secret.

If they can't afford any past doctors/they're too busy they could do another doctor's montage

 

Re: The Doctor Who 2010 Christmas specials rumors and speculations thr

Bah! I grow sick of the montages. Also, of images of Hartnell inserted randomly into episodes. If they can't actually get a previous Doctor, than don't bother with the trip down memory lane.

 

Re: The Doctor Who 2010 Christmas specials rumors and speculations thr

^ Montages? Do you mean homages?

 

Re: The Doctor Who 2010 Christmas specials rumors and speculations thr

It's a montage of homages!

 

Re: The Doctor Who 2010 Christmas specials rumors and speculations thr

I was curious and decided to investigate this Katherine Jenkins and wow...beautiful woman and she can really sing!!!Will be interesting to see who she plays in the christmas special.

 

Re: The Doctor Who 2010 Christmas specials rumors and speculations thr

No I meant montages of all the Doctors, like what we had in The Next Doctor, The Eleventh Hour, and a partial one in The Lodger.

Also, Hartnell's picture popping up in in Vampires of Venice and Vincent and the Doctor (which also included Troughton) is getting tiresome too. Eventually, they should just bring a previous Doctor back for an episode rather than just constantly show images of one or all of them every 5 episodes.

 

Re: The Doctor Who 2010 Christmas specials rumors and speculations thr

I don't see how showing pictures of Hartnell creates any kind of expectation. John Nathan-Turner did one of those montages once a season during his early tenure (Logopolis, Earthshock, Mawdryn Undead, Resurrection of the Daleks).

I suspect the reason it is happening is to remind the audience that Tennant was not the first, and Tennant was not the last. Doctor Who Magazine did a monthly feature on past Doctors leading up to the regeneration for a similar reason.

 

Re: The Doctor Who 2010 Christmas specials rumors and speculations thr

I just want them to change the pictures in their slide shows once in awhile lol

It seems they always use the same footage of Hartnell turning around.


EDIT: OOOOH very clever! Someone at BBC flipped the image.





Sylvesters is the same as well

Obviously the Atraxi accessed the Cyberman infostamps.

 

Re: The Doctor Who 2010 Christmas specials rumors and speculations thr

I like the montage. Montages are cool!

Re: The Doctor Who 2010 Christmas specials rumors and speculations thr

And the Atraxi were apart of the alliance!

 

Re: The Doctor Who 2010 Christmas specials rumors and speculations thr

I've enjoyed the Ten Doctor homages and montages...it just reminds the audience that this show is larger in scope and yes I agree with Steve Mollman's assessment. Moffat himself has commented on the usage of the Doctor's I believe as well. I've no problem with them and if a previous Doctor actually does show up on the show I'll be ecstatic.

 

Re: The Doctor Who 2010 Christmas specials rumors and speculations thr

Christmas special well under way in filming. Security has been super tight.

Slightly new suit

 

Re: The Doctor Who 2010 Christmas specials rumors and speculations thr

Aw, I miss the elbow patches.

 

Re: The Doctor Who 2010 Christmas specials rumors and speculations thr

^ Yeah, me too. I noticed those were gone.

But at least the bow tie is still there. Bow ties are cool!
