There as no defnite answer recently. Even www.gallifreyone.com didn't have a definitive answer but the one that's been touted (without confirmation) is April 16 I think (although it's difficult to find on the site itself).

what days are they on tv in england? it ain't on tv here at all

Cybermen are back! Good stuff. Anyone see a similarity between Davros and Lumic? Will we get the inevitable battle of wits between the Doctor and the crazy guy? Its a bit far fetched that the Time Lords are suddenly all dead, bet there just hiding out in the N-Space etc.

ixoy

Well to be fair foxy, the Time Lords aren't "just dead". They've been dead since the beginning of Season 27/1 with the whole Dalek/Time War. I would like to see them delve more into this but we probably won't (and, for what it's worth, I far prefer the whole Faction Paradox-Gallifrey destruction from the BBC Novels. That's way cooler).

Enjoyed the Cybermen this time around - far more menacing than before (especially seeing the different models on BBC3's "Doctor Who Confidential" afterwards). Not sure I like the new villain - I'd prefer Vaughn from IE (from the original series) and not this sorta "Professor X" type but what the hey - the original assimilators are back: in your FACE Borg.

Yeah, the Cybermen always scared me more than the Daleks. Even as a kid I didn't get how the Daleks were so scary. It was probably the voice.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

none of you bastards answered my question!

Saturday evenings twixt 7:10 pm and 7:30pm.
Really Mordyboots have you forgotten how to google ?

But how can you expect to google... FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE!

sorry, was just a classic moment from the cybermen episode

Stark

Worst part of tonight's episode: That it had to end.

Man, brilliant stuff. I would have preferred if they followed through more on the aftermath of the emotion chip being disabled rather than the cybermens' heads exploding but they were walking the line for a kid's tv show as it is

So, Mickey staying on the parallel Earth because he fell in love with Jake: Obvious, very obvious or bleeding obvious?

Rev Hellfire

I must say I'm really of two minds right now on Doctor Who. I thought the first part of the cybermen was ok, but the second really was rather poor. Stick this number in and the whole things sorted, piff paff poodle.

I did really enjoy Tooth and Claw and Girl in the Fireplace is excellent. And while school reunion had an interesting side plot of the old assistant the less said of the main plot line the better.

The show really looks like it has potential but is rather hit and miss. Then again maybe its just a kids programme and I'm looking for too much from it.
I miss battlestar.

Stark

Well it is just a kid's programme.

Should be interesting to see what they make of Torchwood as that is supposed to be an adult's show unlike Doctor Who.

mike65

'Just' a kids show? The best childrens telly can be watched by anyone.

Mike.

Baggly

show with the best bouncebackability imo

I'm just saying it might disappoint those who except certain things unique to an adult's sci-fi show such as Battlestar Galactica (grimness, harsh realities, "adult" situations etc.). Personally I love the show, kid's show or not.

Nevyn

It is not strictly a kids show it is infact a 'family' show, hence it's before the 9 o'clock viewing time.
Ok when we were kids ourselves it seemed a hell of a lot more scarey.
My own two watch it as I did on the sofa cushions ready for the scarey bits asking will the dr win.
Personally I think that it is great to be able to watch it with my brats, it is a lot better 'family' viewing then ****e soap operas.
Yes, these season seems to be slightly weaker so far.

Baggly

ah come on, any show would have trouble topping that scary masked ww2 kid from last season.

It started off weak, imo, but has been getting better by the episode. Took me a while to get used to the new guy but he seems to have something going for him afterall.

Great show anyway... just easy going great fun.

what did he do to the robot men then at the beginning of the second ep of that two parter? it looked like a weapon..
