And I liked the episode Blink quite muchly, not just for the seriously creepy villains but also for showing a time travel story from the point of view of somebody who doesn't travel in time.

I think I like "The Shakespeare Code" for all of the Harry Potter references.

I didn't catch any Potter references particularly. What are you thinking of here?

I thought it was that Timelords were allowed (i.e., given by their leaders) 12 regenerations (which means that there're two more after Tennant), but that it's possible to start a new "regeneration cycle" under certain circumstances.

I recall hearing/reading that this happened with the Master --he was way past his twelfth form when we last saw him.

Oooh, a thread about my second favorite series on a site for my first favorite! How can I resist commenting.

Not that I have anything more intelligent to say than David Tennant....yummmmy! Sigh! He gets me through the long cold winter nights. Going to see him in the flesh in the spring playing Hamlet at the West End. Should be good.

Has anyone here managed to catch him in his role of Cassanova in the BBC 3 part dramatisation? Wow was he good, playing a young Peter O'Toole. Such a funny, sexy and sad set of programmes. I would really recommend it if you could get hold of it.

I loved Casanova. And David Tennant was so gorgeous in that!

Richard Hurndall replaced William Hartnell as the First doctor in the 20th Anniversary Special, "The Five Doctors", since Bill had passed away about eight years prior. I did like that they used a clip of Bill Hartnell from the story "Dalek Invasion of Earth" at the beginning, so they truely had included all of the original Doctors into the special.
