The Doctor (Ten) says he can "always" sense Time Lords but maybe that means if a person is in front of him or somewhere near him he can sense whether they're a Time Lord. Rather than him being able to tell if there are any in the whole universe. I'm just grasping straws here; everyone seems to have a greater in-depth knowledge of the whole situation than myself. ^^;

There's going to be an audiobook made later this year (An Earthly Child) featuring the Eighth Doctor visiting Earth to meet Susan and her son but I'll just assume everything outside of the television series is 'non-canon'.

::wonders idly again whether there might not be a spin-off involving Jenny::

KatMagenta 06-15-2009 04:17 PM

The Sun claim Jenny is going to be in one of this year's specials but they are usually full of crap unreliable when it comes to spoilers.

Connielass 06-17-2009 07:15 PM

NO!!
My Tardis turned into an Adipoe!!
:cry:

KatMagenta 06-17-2009 08:21 PM

I wonder why it seems to have dressed up as Indiana Jones.
I thought it was going to be a Dalek. ^^;

Connielass 06-17-2009 08:29 PM

Wrong hat, Kat.
It's more of a safari hat. Makes me think of Victorian explorers like David Livingstone.

GeminiKizzy 06-17-2009 09:33 PM

I seriously need one of those now. ;p

Connielass 06-17-2009 09:52 PM

Yeah, unfortunately, it's no longer available so far as I can tell.

GeminiKizzy 06-18-2009 01:25 AM

I figured that out when I went looking for it - that and it would be yet another site to be part of.

KatMagenta 06-18-2009 04:06 PM

I thought the thing it was holding looked a bit like a whip. ^^;

Ah, I just watched the second Children of Earth trailer, I don't know why I thought I'd already seen it. Loving dramatic Gwen.

Edit: Link and I've just read it will be shown on BBC HD. Yay!

KatMagenta 07-01-2009 01:07 PM

Way more than 5 hours have passed so I think this double post is okay. XD

I saw a trailer for Torchwood: Children of Earth on television yesterday. The first episode is on Monday 6th July (next Monday) 9pm BBC 1/BBC HD. I know the American and Australian BBC channels are showing the episodes at more or less the same time (allowing for time difference) but I have no idea where and when exactly.

Oop, there's a Torchwood radio play on Radio 4 in about 10 minutes too. >.<

GeminiKizzy 07-01-2009 04:23 PM

awesome! I'll have to look that up when I get home. Is that the American BBC? Otherwise, it won't be so soon for me.

Connielass 07-01-2009 04:37 PM

Yeahhh.... 9pm in England . . . would be... around ... (acktimezonesackihatemath!) I think 2/3pm here on the eastern seaboard of the US.
One problem with that will be whether I'm at work, and the other problem: will it show on one of the channels I get (basic cable here, nothing fancy)?

Which... may mean I have to wait a year for Sci-fi channel to get it, if they don't show it already.


No.
According to this Wiki article, Torchwood isn't showing in America until July 20th, and - damn! - only on BBC America, which I don't get as part of basic cable.

GeminiKizzy 07-01-2009 04:40 PM

I'm sorry, Connie. We get it but there is still that long wait. Hopefully, after it comes out they will air it on youtube or something.

Connielass 07-01-2009 04:43 PM

Or Sci-fi.
Sci-fi has a habit of eventually airing those shows. It's got Dr. Who and Sarah Jane. I'm hoping Torchwood will be on it too.

Edit: Nothing showing for any of the three shows, for July and August.

GeminiKizzy 07-02-2009 01:04 AM

Anything in America for BBC has to be shown after BBC airs them - some sort of airing rights I think. Shows will be on BBC America before Sci-Fi. It's like a trickle down effect.

ljosberinn 07-02-2009 01:33 PM



Ohmigosh seriously next Monday?? Awesome! :D I'm so excited now!

My friend bought one of those DW animations yesterday and we checked it out, starring Ten and Martha Jones. It was terrible. We watched two minutes of it before we had to turn it off, it was so horrible. Badly drawn, terribly animated, the villain looked more silly than usual because it was animated and it was just.. ugh.

My friend told me though that Donna's grandfather will be the Doctor's companion for the Christmas specials! I love him so much. :D



Connielass 07-02-2009 05:16 PM

But...
That confuses me.
Because Donna can't be reminded of the Doctor or she'll die.
But if her grandpa just up and disappears . . . how will it be explained to her?
. . . .

And isn't it a bit early to know that info? Not to mention that usually they're pretty mum on the topic of the specials . . .

KatMagenta 07-02-2009 06:10 PM

So simultaneously means a fortnight apart now? I wasn't going to trust wikipedia but I found an article with the dates for Torchwood as well as the Doctor Who specials if anyone hasn't seen yet here. I think I'll have to record some of the episodes if not all of them anyway and HD recording takes up so much room on the hard drive (I did see the trailer in HD after Today at Wimbledon though, aieee).

I'm poking around the BBC America Torchwood website now (so much better than ours!) and the cast look so shiny in the wallpaper it's hilarious.... but it came in 1280x1024 so I'm using it. XD

I missed the radio play today, but I downloaded it (they're available for 7 days after broadcast on the Radio 4 website but only in the UK) so I'll try and find a quiet 45 minutes before the one tomorrow is aired to listen to it. Torchwood: Asylum was surprisingly good, although if you don't like PC Andy I'd give it a miss.

There's a picture of Bernard Cribbins filming with David Tennant, allegedly for this years Christmas special, so I'd say it's fair he's definitely going to appear again.

ljosberinn 07-03-2009 01:02 PM



Even double episodes can happen in less than a day, so I don't think Donna will get very suspicious if she doesn't see her grandpa for one day. Anyway, isn't she back to her old, ignorant, misses-everything-weird self? She probably won't notice anything.
Also, it's not too early. They wan't to keep their fans excited so they'll probably send out reminders containing small spoilers throughout the rest of the year. :Þ

Bah, 20th? That's ages from now. :C And the picture you linked to keeps coming up with an error for me.. :/

I'm at work and there's a jazz band playing downstairs. They're really quite loud, but they're really good. Also, I'm in the children's department and there are no kids. Presumably they're all outside enjoying the good weather that has finally made an appearance after weeks of rain. Ahh, what could be better than this?



KatMagenta 07-03-2009 05:41 PM

There was a thunderstorm here today after a week of almost unbearable heat. I'd forgotten what rain was like. Wet.

I don't know if you were talking to me there ljos but I've posted the picture under this spoiler tag here.

SPOILERX


People in Cardiff are pretty wise to locations used in Doctor Who and Torchwood and from reading reports it seems they don't turn away crowds or mind people taking photos.

ljosberinn 07-03-2009 10:44 PM



Well, you were the only one that posted a link to a picture since my last post. ; )
Aww they look so adorable. Yaaaaay Wilfred! *Does a happy dance* Also yay for rain and yay for sun (here) and yay for Cardiff. I want to go there. Well, anywhere in Wales really, as long as I can listen to that wonderful accent all day.



kasorin 07-04-2009 01:27 AM

Oooooo a thread for the Doctor!

I need to remember to finish watching season three. I only have two or three episodes left before I can move onto Season four.

Oh, a special's coming out on Monday? Darn it! I don't think that my TV gets BBC. Ah well, I suppose I'll just have to wait until it's online.

KatMagenta 07-04-2009 01:18 PM

Those lovely Welsh vowels... I'm listening to the second of the radio plays now. They're in Torchwood India and a Duchess is trying to kill 'Captain H'. XD

Hello Kasorin. The new series of Torchwood is being shown over over the weekdays, in the UK the week beginning July 6th and in the US the week beginning July 20th.
