Doctor Who: The New Series

Ahh yes the production values.

I remember fondly just after the hiatus in the Colin Baker era. They tried to make the show look shinier, and spent something like 90% of the shows budget on the opening special effect on the first episode of the "Trial of a Timelord" season. It was actually a very good shot. I think it was the TARDIS being drawn into a space station or something. Shame the rest of the episodes special effects were totally lousy. Even the CSO was bad!

I heard it said that at the time it was the single most expensive special effects sequence in the show's history, but the new series looks like it will have money leftover for the special effects in the other episodes. Just wished the TARDIS engulfed by flames in the latest trailer was going to be in the show. You never know though, they might.

When the makers of Kevin Costner's Robin Hood movie saw the commercial for their movie with a flying arrow, they were so impressed by it that they put it in the movie!!

And for those who care, the new titles and theme:

THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!

Can't wait for the show to start!! Isn't it funny that this leaked copy of the show has gotten people interested and talking about the show, and they STILL want to see it on March 26!!

Adults are acting like children again and children now seem intrigued!!

I was thinking, the tv movie might have gotten a slagging but it seems to have influenced certain aspects of the new series.

It's weird to hear the team say how they liked the first console room the best and yet the new one is more like the one from the tv movie. And with the TARDIS in the opening titles that's like the tv movie as well.

Must say I love the new titles but think the TARDIS flying through space in the tv movie titles was more effective.

BUT I STILL LOVE THE NEW TITLES!!!

PLEASE LET THIS SHOW BE A HUGE HIT GOD!!

The TV Movie TARDIS shots were actually models believe it or not. They looked bloody good !!

I thought they were models shots because it looked so detailed, that's something the computer can't quite replicate without looking fake.

Last night's Test the Nation featured a clip from the new series. Although I don't think it's the best clip the Press Office could have given them. Here it is anyway...

I'm 33 years old and was acting like a child jumping up and down when they showed the TARDIS trailer yesterday!!

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited

I won't admit to shouting about the room when i saw it like most, but it will be great to see some good television on the BBC again. It's been a long time coming!

Couldn't have put it better myself. I can't wait for the series to begin now.
Im counting down the days. My kids think im extremly sad but I am genuinly bouncing off the walls.
Ohh, ohh, they've just shown a new trailer. The tradis is alone then flames come out...... CHRIST I CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE.
