It must be weird to be in your 20's and have a Dad who's in his 90s. Bless William Russell though, the day we lose him will be a very hard one for me. Do you think the new writer will invigorate your interest in NuWho or no? Chibnall? Possibly. I'm not a big fan of the eps he's already done, but I LOVE Broadchurch. Shame that's ending.

I know lots of people that really dislike Moffat. While I am not without my criticisms (Davies wasn't perfect either), I really enjoyed most of Moffat's run and I appreciate what he's done for the series. It certainly is time for a new showrunner though. Doctor Who is built upon change and I'm excited for the future of the series.

I geeked when I found out they had come into possession of one of the lost arcs, and Power of the Daleks nonetheless.
Sorry 2, but I like it.

Yes - Power DOES Exist. But only as this new animation. The original does not, sadly. Oh, and you lucky folks in America - BBC America will be airing this on TV!

I know a bunch of Star Trek episodes went missing but I just assumed the old film reels weren't filed properly and are sitting in someone's attic. Basically the same thing imagined to happen to the old Who episodes?

Basically the same thing imagined to happen to the old Who episodes? Basically the BBC didn't have an archive until the mid-late 70s. Every single episode from 1963-1974 was thrown away, taped over or destroyed. Over the years, the episodes have made their way back through various means - but 97 remain missing. 15 have been animated (including Power) and the others "exist" as audio recordings made by fans during the original transmissions. My favourite story is one of the ones where ALL of the episodes are missing.

There's every chance all 7 episodes will turn up one day - it had numerous overseas sales - so I keep my fingers crossed.

So I finally got around to watching the movie. I can see why the series wasn't picked up in 1996 after watching it but it's hardly the black eye Whovians make it out to be. 7's death was funny, walk out the box, get shot and keep not dying on the hospital bed.
I dug the references the writers made from older episodes. Eye of Harmony, Jelly Babies, 4's scarf, John Smith, the TARDIS getting indigestion from killing a Time Lord, The Cloisters, and I can now fully appreciate Smith's poignant delivery of his "gravity of the situation" line from the Byzantium arc, and Capaldi's amnesia and the whole "WHO AM..." cut off by screaming. Go Moffatt.
That said, I would have absolutely no issues if Grace or Lee ever came back for one offs if they ever do a future episode set in the states. And I want more McGann. Night of the Doctor wasn't enough. And with everyone and anyone who has anything to do with NuWho beating us in the face that Capaldi could very well regenerate back into Smith, I think there's a chance McGann could easily come back for a Five Doctors type thing, especially if they tie in the audio series of McGann and Kingston.
I can dream.

I may have mentioned I've listened to a chunk of McGann's early Big Finish stuff and it would fill my little fanboy heart up with joy if he either appeared in the new series or had his own Eighth Doctor miniseries type thing for the BBC.

So who's planning on watching Class? I'll watch the first ep and see what it's like. Even if Twelve is going to be in it.

That being said, a lot of speculation is going around that Matt Smith wants to come back as a whole new Doctor. What would a diehard like you have to say about that, or a color/gender change? We've had it with 12's regeneration into someone he once knew, and The Master and The Commander in recent years so they're clearly not afraid.

The Doctor is, and always should be - a man. As for Matt Smith coming back, as much as I loved his Doctor, it can't and must not happen. The BBC actually wanted Colin Baker to regenerate back in to Patrick Troughton back in the 80s, funnily enough.

It's well known that the Time Lords are gender fluid in regeneration. It would be a refreshing change. And I think if Smith came back with a totally different personality it could work.
