New Adventures of Queen Victoria by Pab Sungenis for November 18, 2013

Her Majesty doesn’t have dvr?

The BBC seems to be going through Doctors quickly these days; number 11 is about to be replaced by number 12. Since a Time Lord is only supposed to have 13 lives, what will the network do when it’s time to retire number 13?

I see I am not he only Whovian out there, can’t wait to Saturday!

doctor who is malcolm? will he be snarky and mean as he was as malcolm?

Dum da dadada dum dadada dum da dadada dum, we-ooo-weeeeee….

Until Saturday, we can occupy ourselves with “Tales from the TARDIS” and “The Science of Doctor Who” tonight, and “Doctor Who Explained” and “An Adventure in Space and Time” Friday night, and daily marathons. And as a denouement, there’s the Graham Norton Show afterward with Tennant and Smith.

And they never have explained how the Valeyard fits into the numbering scheme of Doctors, have they?

I love Dr. Who. been watching for years.

1. The actual spans of the classic Doctors were 3, 3, 5, 7, 3, 2 of 3, and 3 years, so the new Doctors, at 1, 4, and 4, aren’t far out of line.

2. Within the show we have been repeatedly told that the War Doctor doesn’t count.

3. The 13-life limit has changed. We don’t know how, but it was plainly established in an episode of “The Sarah Jane Adventures” that there is now no limit. Since we already knew from the classic series that the limit could be gotten around, it’s not worth fussing over.

4. The special episode, “Day of the Doctor”, isn’t until Saturday, but “An Adventure in Space and Time”, the new TV-movie about the early history of the program, is on Thursday in the UK and Friday in the US.

I don’t count McGann, as he was a movie doctor. Don’t forget that Peter Cushing also played him in two films.

Actually, no. Peter Cushing’s character was a 20th-century human who was actually named “Dr. Who”, and who invented and built a TARDIS himself.
