New Who pic

[longmanshort]

Saturday's Daily Mirror (I only bought it after th barber said I couldn't tear the pic out of his copy, okay?!) had a new publicity pic from the new series of Dr Who, featuring the Doc battling the Autons!

Groovy!

Doctor being taken from behind, by the look of it

[Adrian Bamforth]

Hmmm, he looks more like he's just been out watching a football match than a traveller in time and space.

ADE (favouring the Edwardian look)

Well, incongruous garb is sort of his schtick...

According to The Observer, there are 8,000 'active' fans in Britain...

[Quirkafleeg]

Is that 'active' as in 'active homosexual'?

[Richmond Clements]

Well, if that picture's anything to go by...

Apparently, Ecclestone e-mailed the producers and offered himself for the role - well done that man!

Am I the only cynic noting the "leak" of the first episode onto the interweb the weekend before there is a big push of publicity about it?

Both the Grauniad and the Beeb had interviews with Russel T Davies today, before the news of the leak hit.

Not that I'm bitter I missed it on BitTorrent.  Oh no

Three weeks!
I'm getting rather excited now...

[Grant Goggans]

A VCD of episode one is waiting for me to pick it up this evening.  I'll have it in (argh) seven hours.  If my player can handle VCDs, I'll watch it tonight.  :-)

Since it apparently won't be airing in the US, we have to resort to these drastic measures.  Still, it beats running VHS tapes through a dodgy PAL to NTSC convertor or getting a camera copy of the episodes like we had to do back when Sylvester McCoy was the Doctor.

Hmmm. I'm a cynic, too, but quite keen to see this now.

Looks, well, better than okay.

"getting a camera copy of the episodes like we had to do back when Sylvester McCoy was the Doctor."

...and there are some who'd suggest that was probably the best way to view those particular episodes. That, or with the TV at the bottom of a pit... ;-)
