I got my new copy of Doctor Who Magazine on the way back from work today and here is the new series 6 stuff from it:

Firstly, the Episodes are now changing order:

I can't imagine any monster making me want to wet myself more than the Weeping Angels. I don't know whether to be comforted by that or stock up on Tena Lady.

"the most traumatic thing"- I define that as losing your husband. They cannot do that to us. Not again!

[twirlandswirl]

I'd say losing a child is worse... but I dunno if they'd throw that into the mix.

After the eastenders kerfuffle i think the beeb will stray away from that lol

[ladyyuna07]

I dunno, I'm thinking miscarriage. Then again, I don't see Amy as the type of girl to forget her pills. (but maybe that wibbly wobbly stuff is making her forget how much time has passed?)

But I will throw things if Rory dies AGAIN.

Therefore Alex knows pretty much everything ... and Matt knows nothing.

*snort*!

there was not enough outside and too many torches in the original run of seven

What does that even mean? lol

[hammard]

lol I think it means too many dark, gothic, indoorsy episodes ala Beast Below, Flesh and Stone or Silence in the Library, and not enough light, expansive, outdoorsy episodes ala Vincent and the Doctor, Vampires of Venice or Eleventh Hour. Just that tonally they wanted more of a mix than a split. Particularly if the opening two parter is as dark as they suggest

[albion1919]

Ah I see, that makes sense now.

[alibi_factory]

Ty! 'The original run of seven' also threw me for a loop. Reading r hard.

[alibi_factory]

Wasn't that Nine episode about the reality-tv space station sort of a retread of "Varos"? Minus the interesting guest characters, plus instantly dated pop references, multiplied by Captain Jack.

I don't see the show going as bleak as the NAs did, either (nor do I want it to tbqh), but for a given value of 'dark' it might pull it off. Not high body counts and The Doctor Is A Bastard story lines, but the smaller scale of Moffat's universe lends itself to a claustrophobic sort of scary-dark.

DJ Rory and his wheels of steel

[sparkymark]

Rory and Amy have many interesting beats

mm tss mm tss mm tss
