The Newly Regenerated Doctor Who Thread

Also: this picture should work:

or this one:

Both are from the recording of 'The Minister of Chance', and are about as good as you'll get.

That's the one I ended up choosing. Last time I used this image: , as the photo's you'd posted hadn't been taken.
I finally got round to re-arranging my DVD/CD collection (instead of a nice organised row with a bunch dumped on my table). The good thing is that It doesn't fit on my shelf properly, so I've had to double stack it. But I can't put it in chronological order that way, due to the size of "The keys to time", as it leaves a large gap. I'll just have to go out and buy some 1-3 DVD's! Truly a shame. Oh, and I now another series of McGann audios on CD to make them stack properly to the height of the Boxset I have. Yay!

In other news, they've updated the mini-London at Legoland windsor. It now features an Ood, A silent (I think), Amy, The doctor and a silent. It also has a silent.

This was what it was when I was last there:

A silent? I don't see a Silent. All I remember seeing is... hmm... I... don't know...

The BBC Episode Guide for each story has a Double Entendre section for some reason. This one caught my eye, from The Two Doctors:
Shockeye : [Describes Peri] "A fine, fleshy beast"

[Alcoremortis]

I don't know if anyone saw this, but I thought it was mildly interesting that the old lady from the first episode has the same broach as River Song.

I have found a great tumblr: doctorwhowithcats.tumblr.com

Here's a few highlights:

Cats make everything at least 42% more awesome.

So... anyone else suffering withdrawal symptoms yet?

[ShaggE]

I am...

Luckily, my supply of doctor who DVD's and audios hasn't dried up yet, but may god have mercy on my soul when it does in two weeks or so...

[Ribs]

Heh, I'm ordering quite a bit of DVDs this week because DVDPlanet[dawt]com has them at ridiculous prices (almost every story released before 2011 for $10). So I'll pick up Revenge of the Cybermen, Attack of the Cybermen, The Invasion of Time, and The Rescue/The Romans Box Set for ~$43, and The Mind Robber is coming to me from Amazon, which means I now own at least two stories per Doctor except for McCoy (god damn why are they waiting until next year to release all the stories I want), and it will boost my episodes I need to watch count to 26, which I think should last me a good amount of time. The problem is, the shipping on the site can take up to 28 days...

[tredlow]

Dammit, I forgot about Doctor Who! I missed two episodes!

[Friar]

I went into my nearest CEX (enterainment exchange), to sell my Heroes blu-ray boxset, and discovered that someone had traded in a large collection of doctor who DVDs! (To put it into perspective: More DVD's then you'd find in the doctor who section in an average HMV (Largest UK DVD retailer)). So I ended up trading the boxset in and getting the boxset "Manequin Mania", Earthshock, Robot and Planet of Evil, in the hope it would plug the hold in my DVD stack. Turns out it actually made it worse, as I had to re-arrange it a bit. Oh well, there's still more there if I need some!

@tredlow: I assume you spent the last two weeks in close proximity to a Silent.

Earthshock is the first classic story I saw! It's... okay. Because of aforementioned first story-ness, I did not know how it ended, so yeah. I'm holding off on a purchase as it's a likely cantidate for a Special Edition, which is also why I'm holding off on the other McCoy that's out that I want, The Curse of Fenric.

I've already seen Earthshock. It was the first one I saw too. Well, Part one was (Part one was given away free with a newspaper The Sun). I can't remember much of it, other then the ending, so I'm hoping it'll be almost like anew episode when I rewatch it.

As for the heroes boxset, I found that it lost it's appeal and seemed really slow when you knew what was going to happen, and the answer to every twist. Plus, I think 5 doctor who serials outweighs 4 series of Heroes! Even though I've already seen three of them (both the manequin mania ones, but I wanted to complete my collection of regeneration/new doctor episodes. I just need "the war games", "Planet of the spiders (Already seen), and "the 10th planet" now.

But The Special Edition of the TV Movie has to be essential to every McGann fan!

Also, you own the Twin Dilemma? Why? It's the Colin Baker serial I legitimately only want because of the special feature about the Comics.

Anyone want to help me organize the pre-revival Netflix episode packs(that mimic the DVD releases) into something resembling a chronological order? :O

[Darth Marsden]

Here you go.

Well, as I'm sure you know, 108 episodes featuring the First and Second Doctors are missing. 2 from Two have been animated, and 2 from One are coming next year as well. The difference between the classic series and the new series is they don't really have an arc. They're done as serials, which are mostly self contained. Occasionally, there is a strong narrative link such as The Key To Time Season, which is Six Stories all about finding the Six key to Times, or the Trial of a Time Lord, which is 3 stories with a framing device that gets two episodes to itself at the end.

To be honest, you can just hop around the classic series. There are some mini-arcs that still need to be released, most notably that a good portion of the Third Doctor and Master Arc are yet to be released.

In regards to streaming, (going completely off memory, some have probably been removed by now/I forgot some) the order is the Aztecs, The Mind Robber, Spearhead from Space, The Three Doctors (the sound is off), The Green Death, The Ark in Space (this is both Russell T Davies' and Steven Moffat's Favorite Story Period), a few of the Key To Time season but not the whole arc that I can't remember, City of Death, The Visitation, Earthshock, Caves of Androzani (this is considered the best story ever, and was humorously followed by what is considered the worst story ever), and The Curse of Fenric. The vast majority of these stories are considered among the best of their time, and the only one that's sub-par is The Visitation and possibly the bits of the Key to Time.

Nothing about order, but dailymotion has some of the best fan reconstructions of the lost episodes that I've ever seen. Just search for lost episodes and they'll come up.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. It's available free (digitally) somewhere. I think on MSN video, or seesaw. That was also my first experience with Colin, so I avoided his serials like the plague for some time.
As for the McGann movie special edition, It's on my "To get list" when it drops to £15. Considering I already own the movie, and the other two titles are available to watch on the internet for free, I'm reluctant to spend a lot of money on the set.

Oh yeah, I listened to "Loups Garoux" today. I hated it. It was confusing as to who the characters were, and what their motives were. It definitely needs relistening to at some point.

And I listened to "The apocalpse element" the other day too. That was confusing for the first two parts, but after that, it improved infinitely.

Heh, US and AUS have the movie individually but because it was such a big deal it was the price of a 3-disc release, so I just netflixed it and will buy when it's cheap.

Oh, I listened to a few audios-

Bloodtide - Meh.

Bernice Summerfiedl and the Criminal Code - Cool.

Seasons of Fear - Extra meh.

First half of Embrace the Darkness - *hides under covers*
