SFX has just posted the first 3 episode details from the new Doctor Who series for 2010.

Episode 1: "The Eleventh Hour" (by Steven Moffat) to be shown 3rd April 2010

Episode 2: "The Beast Below" (by Steven Moffat)

Episode 3: "Victory of the Daleks" (by Mark Gatiss)


Personally, I think Gatiss + Daleks = great episode.

Yeah, was an ok episode. Amy and bf worked well though, should keep him on.

Still not 100% sure on Smith though, one minute he's perfect and the next he's a bit crap.

Ditto on both comments. We're half way through the series right?

(below spoiler is about future episodes)

I couldn't tell from the trailer exactly what the hell this upcoming episodes going to be about?

iagree with you all oh and visit my profile

Pretty cool episode, hope The Dreamlord is a bit more complicated than the Doctor let on, and from the looks of the end of the episode I'd guess he will be.

For a moment I thought I was watching Lost.

I don't know whether I liked the episode or not, so I should probably watch it a second time.

I'll let pb, Alfonse, Luke, Butch et al. share their thoughts on the episode first.

Thoughts; loved it. Oap Zombies! Ok, they weren't zombies, but close.

Interestingly, Dreamlord seemed to have parallels with the Valyard..

I too enjoyed it, The Doctor obviously has a 'dark side' which has been hinted at every now and again for a while now. Instead of re-hashing old enemies or making up new ones each week it's good to see episodes focusing on this every now and again. If we don't see the 'Dream Lord' anytime soon, I expect to see another manifestation of it at some point.

Looks like the return of the Silurian next week in a two-parter. From memory I can't remember seeing them before but (after a quick wiki search) their collaboration with the Sea Devils against the Fifth Doctor rings a few bells.

I thought that was a really interesting, and exciting episode. The whole which is the real dream concept was cool, and the twist at the 'end was satisfying, if a little rushed. I'm not sure how I feel about all the violence against oaps in that episode though :D

I've just finished watching my Silurian/Sea Devil DVD box set so it will be cool to see how they have been re-imagined for this series.

They were first seen in Doctor Who and the Silurians (with Jon Pertwee) then again with the Master in Doctor Who and the Sea Devils, then later on with Peter Davidson in Warriors of the Deep.

I think as for the Doctors dark side, that is all part and parcel with the fact his entire race has been wiped out and that he indeed travels alone. It's also played on how he just uses his companions, when this is not really the case, because although it can be seen like that, the Doctor most certainly isn't abducting people and probing them.

LOL @ granny bashing.
