Anyone see the "Next week on Dr. Who" at the end of the second worst episode of Dr. Who on Saturday?

They're back, and it looks like they're running versions of Big Brother and The Weakest Link.

This could either be TV brilliance or it could go horribly wrong...

Why, oh, why, did you NOT watch the 3rd episode, Rumpadodosnitzle? It was written by Mark Gatiss, for cryin' out loud!

They weren't just plastic dummies, they were the autons from one episode before. Britney Spears and I-pod was a terrible joke but that was a good episode.

Every watch Doctor Who the movie? The Tardis being alive was featured then. It actually killed The Master. It brings things back to that.

Christopher Eccleson only planned to do one series. He gets killed I believe in the final episode. The 19th Century one was probably one of the best episodes.

He looks like Tom Baker, since when did Doctor's look alike?

Yes it was childish, but it was a good idea, as it told us who were slitheens, and who wernt, but at least it was only gas exchange, not just farting...

Hey, do not insult the first episode, it was a bit poor yes, but it was good because those " 'plastic' dummies" are the Autons, who featured heavily in the old series, so the BBC decided to put in old enemies for the first episode, to bring in old fans and new ones...

I agree, he does look a bit like Tom Baker (he has the hair...)

i reckon its gonna be quite good, esp. now the daleks are bak... I wonder if BBC have to pay C4 rights to use big brother? hmmm....

anywas, any ideas what Bad wolf is (if u don't wanna be biased towards any ideas, stop readin now!)


I reckon its the Dalek ship cos I remember in some of the older episodes, on the dalek ship, i think there was "Wolf" written on the side... but it could be summat completely randomly different, like the make of the anne robinson robot....
