And he keeps saying the Doctor is 900 years old, I'm probably the only one who is bugged by this, but Sly McCoy's Doctor was over 900, continuity please.

There is continuity as he is over 900, but he can spend hundreds of years - or no time at all between episodes, which is quite cool - it could have been a hundred years between the 'Donna' Xmas special  & the first episode of the last series.

It's true that Doctor Who has always had a campness factor, but it was always suitable to the age... think about the flying care etc. during Pertwee's reign? I'm quite sure they took that seriously.

The level of humour has to fit the time.. as I have already said, With a new Doctor & director I think this issue can be solved easilly.

And they've taken parts of the new series seriously too.  There's the same balance as before.

So you've not seen The Girl in the Fireplace, written by Steven Moffat, then?

I have seen it, it's my favourite episode. It's excellent.

Hmm, I don't think I'll get my point across. Well - we'll have to see what happens!! If it gets better I'll keep on watching, if not I'll have to wait for Tennant'd Doctor to die before returning to it!

If you check the Doctor Who website, you'll see that they are set to continue the Mary-Jane spinoff and that in one of the episodes, the Slitheen are returning =p

Well at least the Slitheen aren't coming back to Doctor Who (I really hope), but I really wish they wouldn't make more Sarah-Jane adventures, isn't Doctor Who fun enough for kids as it is?

There's a limit to how 'fun' Doctor Who should be?

Phil, he's referring to Doctor Who being a family show and how it may not need additional spin-offs aimed at a younger audience when they can be satisfied with the core show itself.

I was bored, and flicked the other day the channel over to ABC [Australian Broadcasting Commission] and Doctor Who was on. Now it was a new series with new episodes, and I had only ever watched a few..

- the one where they go to 'new new' york or something?
- and some others.

Now, this one had Captain Jack Harkness in it, and I like Torchwood <333. They were on some planet with crazy people and they tried to make a footprint system work so the shuttle could go to Utopia.
'The Master' had a watch and used it, became young again, instead of being a 'professor' while the Doctor and Jack were locked in as 'The Master' stole the Tardis [Phone Box]

I quite liked it, not being a fan and all.

Yes that is very 'interesting' y are u putting " ' " in The Master it's his name like you don't see us putting ' on The Doctor Like This:
'The Doctor' used his 'Sonic Screwdriver' and then after 'The Master' used his 'Laser Screwdriver'

All time lords at the age of 8 choose their own name The doctor chose 'The doctor'(<- this is appropriatte time) and the master picked 'The Master' as his name

Is anyone listening to BBC7 right now? They're rerunning 8th Doctor audio dramas at 6pm every weekday for the next few weeks!

Erm, where does it say that they choose a name at the age of 8?  We don't know when or why they chose these days, only what they meant by choosing those particular names (from The Sound of Drums).
