Doctor Who - Season 7 Thread.

[peteyt]

I understand that Ianto can't come back because it would ruin the effect of his death ( ) and everything, but I honestly wouldn't care. It's a shame gloves only come in pairs.. I think sex jokes are just part of it though? Captain Jack wouldn't be Jack without them!

Also, McGann has actually said he'd be happy to come back to Doctor Who anytime. The BBC can whistle and he'll come running, basically. Well that was what he said a few months ago anyway ;o

Sometimes the jokes worked but sometimes they felt too forced. That's why I loved Children of Earth so much as it was more gripping and adult. It wasn't afraid to kill Ianto off - it reminded me kind of of 24 killing people suddenly when you least expect it so that it shocks you big time. I remember Charlie Brooker said that series 1&2 where basically like the Chuckle Brothers meet porn (well that wasn't the actual words he used ha) but he like me found COE very different in a good way.

Also hopefully they'll bring at least one classic doctor back for the 50th. I don't want them all back as it would be too much but bringing one back would be good as it does feel bringing just Tennant is denying the shows history their actually supposed to be celebrating.

Brian Minchin confirmed as New Executive Producer of Doctor Who

BBC Cymru Wales has announced that Brian Minchin is to be the new Executive Producer of Doctor Who, alongside showrunner Steven Moffat.

Brian Minchin is an Executive Producer in BBC Wales drama, currently working on The Game, a new Cold War spy thriller from Toby Whithouse for BBC One, and Wizards Vs Aliens, Russell T Davies’ hit show for CBBC. He has also worked as BBC Executive Producer on Dirk Gently and Being Human.

Brian produced the RTS award-winning and BAFTA nominated series The Sarah Jane Adventures, as well as the UK sections of Torchwood: Miracle Day and was Assistant Producer on Torchwood: Children of Earth.

Brian, who grew up in Aberystwyth, joined the department in Cardiff in 2005 as a Script Editor working on BBC One Wales drama Belonging, before moving on to network dramas Doctor Who and Torchwood in the same role.

Brian says: “I'm thrilled and excited to be joining Steven Moffat on a show that has meant so much to me over the years. I've watched in awe as Steven has taken Doctor Who to wild and imaginative places and I can't wait to get started on many more adventures with the Doctor.”

Faith Penhale, Head of Drama Wales, says: “I've no doubt Doctor Who will enjoy a very exciting time with Brian at the helm working alongside Steven. Since joining BBC Wales in 2005, he’s proved he has a fantastic eye for story and a sharp awareness of what makes a drama like Doctor Who unmissable."

Steven Moffat, Lead Writer and Executive Producer, adds: "When I first took over Doctor Who, Brian was there as script editor, and in the most difficult time of a new Doctor and a new era, was completely brilliant. We lost him to producing The Sarah Jane Adventures at the end of our first run. Rising talent keeps rising, is how I comforted myself back then - but now I am beyond happy that Brian has risen all the way back to Doctor Who, in his new role of Executive Producer. I look forward to getting hopelessly lost in space and time with him."

I'm not sure what to think, however he did work on Torchwood and SJA so I expect fairly good things from him. Hopefully he'll prevent Mr Moffat from making catastrophic power of love errors.

I hope he doesn't bring the bad stuff from Torchwood, Sarah Jane Adventures etc. We don't need another rtd

Interesting episode this week, nice to see Strax return.

Next week's episode looks even better though, especially since it's by Neil Gaimen, I think I also saw a certain warwick davis in the trailer.
