Just before someone fly’s off at me this is a combination of web talking with other fans and some of my own logic but my guess is that the secret the face of Boe tells the doctor in next week's episode is 'You are not alone' (the Master) but that is kind of obvious.

Despite my 'fancy piece' no longer starring I am watching purely for storyline enjoyment and spinning though the Wikipedia entries for this series episodes this looks like its going to be the best one yet.

Doctor Who Series 3 Episodes

More details leaked this year, this time last year lot less info on the forthcoming episodes.

Well, it was a TARDIS, extremely likely it was the Doctor's TARDIS, though we don't know.

Well if (for some stupid R.T.Davies reason) the Doctor is now the last of the time lords (meaning Paul McGann 8th Doctor must have witnessed this after the film) I would say no Time Lords = No other TARDIS's


Exclamation It's basically confirmed that
the Master's coming back.
So why would he be the last timelord?

Yeah but didn't the current doctor say once you could never destroy the tardis? Or something along those lines.

wonder if they'll do a 3 doctors with Tenant, Eccleston and McGann.

Then they can piece together the missing history between the 96 movie and 'Rose'. They could even film a McGann / Eccleston regeneration.

Anybody know if paul McGann was approached to reprise his role before Christopher Eccleston took over?

So as long as another Timelord is inside his/her time capsule (technically not a TARDIS as that's only the Doctor's machine), the Time War may not have killed them.

But then again, the TARDIS temporarily died in 2.5/6 ( Rise of the Cybermen / Age of Steel ). However, that was because the TARDIS couldn't draw its power from the alt-universe.

I think the Time Lords could have survived.

No. Russell T. Davies said that the regeneration would be best dealt with in other media (eg audiobooks, Big Finish plays, novellas etc.)

Wrong Wrong Russel.

I'm thinking about doing a fanfilm series and the time war's probably going to be in it.

The Master who is currently in the TARDIS's Eye of Harmony?

But they haven't, The 8th Doctor is still growing strong (Big Finish), with many references to The Time Lords and Galifrey but none of a Time War. So why has the (idiot) Davies randomly decided the Time Lords are not gone and the Doctor has fought in a Time War which he has decided to invent but not explain.

The idea was that it would be better for new viewers to be introduced to a totally new Doctor, and there had to be an excuse for no Gallifrey stories. And that's the way most stories work - the writer decides how to end it and fills in the gaps up to it.

But why? It's not like there was anyone in the UK who did know what Doctor Who was, and little-uns could just ask their parents.

As soon as the little-uns found out that their parents watched it in their youth, they'd deem it uncool and switch over to garbage TV like Nickelodeon and Disney Channel.

The Eye of Harmony which can't hold timelords?


I bet this'll turn into a really big war now. Laughing
