All episodes to take place off camera, repeated on camera as monolgues.

Matt - OK! The only other Rose-era Who I've seen besides that first Tennant episode is the awesome one with Madame Bouffant and the weird spaceship that leads to an extra-dimensional fireplace.
Can I make a guess based on what I know of nu-Who that Rose is "torn" between the trad pleasures of Mickey and the exciting yet dangerous Doctor?

On a more serious note, the finale has been rumoured for some considerable time to be Doctor+Donna+Martha+Jack+Sarah Jane+Rose vs Master +/vs Davros. (This came from the same source as a perfect description of the last series finale, down to Jack hanging off the TARDIS, The Master return, the first time the name 'Toclafane' was heard...)
This was bolstered considerably by some off the cuff remarks by RTD about how each finale had to be bigger than the year before, and how the next finale would be UTTER FANWANK OF THE WORST KIND.
Before this confirmation the least likely part of it to be true was assumed to be the return of Rose. Now I fear the worst...

Well Belle de Jour's not exactly setting the world on fire.
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 13:22 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah it's def gonna happen now re Davros and co. (now there's a spin-off...).

no mention of the Children In Need thing? was pretty forgettable.

Davros, classic-or-dud would be a good one to consider. I say dud, apart from in Genesis of the Daleks.
― The Real Dirty Vicar, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 16:01 (sixteen years ago) link
Davros kind of sucks.
― HI DERE, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 16:12 (sixteen years ago) link
Davros? Is the leader of the Daleks some dirty Greek?
― burt_stanton, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 16:18 (sixteen years ago) link
Davros such a brilliant villain on paper but crap in practice

well DUH

Yeah, Michael Wisher is great in Genesis but the rest are pretty awful. Terry Molloy isn't that bad in Revelation, but he doesn't exactly have that much to do in it.
― aldo, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 16:26 (sixteen years ago) link
I heard it was Davros + the Master.

THAT FUCKING GUY
I mean, he's written some great stories, but he's also written some AMAZINGLY AWFUL ONES that people wank themselves into a frenzy over for no discernable reason (The Shadows of Avalon, AKA "FUCKING TERRIBLE BOOK")
Also you work with someone with a fantastic last name, GG!
― HI DERE, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 16:54 (sixteen years ago) link
yes I have wondered whether it's real or a pseudonym but I only met her once so don't feel I can ask!

er...? that some obscure reference I don't get? do you know him? his missus did do a theology masters prior to joining us, so maybe that's what you're referring to??

what happens = rose + donna + martha all appear in the same place at titanic, which either creates a paradox or the titanic sinks and all three girls die.

Very little is more enjoyable than Tennant remarking on Davison "wearing a vegetable."

UGH FATHER'S DAY IS AN IRRITATING PIECE OF SHIT
Well okay, it's not that bad, but it is pie-faced twee mooning for a good portion of the time.

Although I cannot fault Lawrence Miles, if you overlook how incredibly difficult Henrietta Street is to read.

Right, there appears to be a very large number of old-skool Who episodes on Veoh and I've been meaning to do some sort of crash course in the first five Doctors for a while now. Which stories should a virtual novice make a beeline for?
(I am assuming that the C Baker/McCoy episodes are not really worth bothering with).
― Matt DC, Friday, 25 January 2008 10:41 (sixteen years ago) link
Genesis of the Daleks Tomb of the Cybermen Caves of Androzani (apparently; I've not seen it since I was 10) Pirate Planet (also the Robert Holmes one before it (can't remember what it's called) Inferno
― Autumn Almanac, Friday, 25 January 2008 10:56 (sixteen years ago) link
Top 3 for each Doctor:
The Daleks The Romans The Time Meddler
Tomb Of The Cybermen The Invasion The War Games
Inferno The Daemons The Time Warrior
Genesis Of The Daleks Terror Of The Zygons The Seeds Of Doom Pyramids Of Mars The Talons Of Weng-Chiang The Ribos Operation
Black Orchid Resurrection Of The Daleks The Caves Of Androzani
(4th Doctor gets twice as many because he was there twice as long. 1st and 2nd constrained by existing episodes)
