"LONDON (Reuters) - Get ready to hide behind the sofa again -- Doctor Who's arch rivals the Daleks are coming back.
The BBC said on Wednesday that a new series of the cult sci-fi series "Doctor Who" would feature the fearsome robots after the producers reached an agreement with their creator's estate."
I loved this show because of its simplicity but intelligent ideas. Can't wait for the new series.

Everybody has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.

This was one of my all time favourite shows when I was a kid. Mostly with the guy that had the long scarf. Will BBC produce this with a focus on high-end after effects, I wonder, or will they keep to the same style of cheesy sets and laser beams? heehee.

Doctor Who and the Daleks are British Cultural PHENOMENA.
We may laugh at the cardboard sets now,but to my mind-the old shows low budget production fires the imagination far more than todays CGI effects-lets face it -how many 'modern' Sci-fi films have you seen that are purely scene after scene of computer effects,with little in the way of plot,characterisation,narrative flow etc,etc?
I well remember 'Dalek-mania' when I was five or six years old.
Don't know if Eccleston is right for the part though-he's a bit of a full-on 'Thesp. luvvie' to my mind.

You might be thinking of Tom Baker (my favorite Doctor), but I think there was one, maybe two after him.PhilO wrote:Also one of my favorites. There were a series of Drs., the one I followed was probably the last one; I forget his name (Tom?)

This was a wonderful, funny, imaginative show-- check it out if you get a chance

Now this is marvellous news indeed: the good Doctor back on the screen!
Hey, even the BBC can't kill a Timelord for good - and they really tried hard, didn't they.
It will be exciting to see the 9th incarnation. Although I suppose, I still will miss Sylvester McCoy. Actually I even wrote a tune called "The Doctor's Request" with him in mind.
So let's see, if the new Doctor gets a tune of his own sooner or later.

Your mission-- get a whistle into this man's hands and see if you can interest him in possibly playing it on air as the Doctor once in a while. I think that would be a fascinating little aspect of the good Doctor, and he just might think so too!John S wrote:You probably won't believe me, but the actor that is to play this most English of Time lords occasional drinks in my local.

The sets were chintzy, but I totally agree that they were enough to tell a good story. The Daleks were a favourite of my brother and I.

Piper? I like her name! And whatever happened to K-9???Starring Christopher Eccleston as Doctor Who and Billie Piper as Rose Tyler, the Doctor's companion, the new 13-part series is currently filming in Cardiff and London for transmission in 2005.

That's the ticket, Paul, especially as the second Doctor used to play the wreckorder now and again.brewerpaul wrote: Your mission-- get a whistle into this man's hands and see if you can interest him in possibly playing it on air as the Doctor once in a while.

About time (sic!) for a change!
