Donna is cool. She doesn't fall for The Doctor like most of the others do. She's just in it for the adventure.  Have you seen any of the 2005 season with the previous Doctor (Christopher Eccleston)? You should really start there if you have the opportunity to do so. Damn good stuff.

I caught the end of last nights episode, and Catherine Tate showed once again why I have avoided this series.
She is fucking awful!
And she looks like a horses cunt!

Well, if you ever get the chance to rent or download the 9th Doctor...
...do yourself a favor and check it out. It's a lot tighter than some of the current stuff that's been out. But, if you're just asking about Donna Noble (Catherine Tate)...
...she first met the Doctor on her "almost" wedding day. Then, a year or two later she met up with him again, and decided to take him up on his offer to see the universe.

It's better if you actually just download the torrents. You don't have to wait two weeks for Sci-fi to air them, or have to worry about the shows being edited. how are they edited? are they adjusted for American audiences so that they have actors dub over words like "theatre" with "theater." and whenever there are scenes with driving they flip the print so it looks like it's on the right side of the road?
Bow ties are coool.

This episode displays one of the reasons I became a fan of Doctor Who. It has the ability to do any kind of story it wants. The solution to the murders was a bit weak but a lot of fun getting to it (like most murder mysteries). In all it was a good episode. Helps to make of for last week's shitfest.

Yep. I have my online sources. I can't stomach having to watch it while the bottom half of the screen is taken up by an animated Ghost Hunters banner, or some other mindless shit. The worst the Beeb do is talk over the ending credits. Big whoop. SciFi is not only a poor, poor network...it's very image taints the product it's trying to sell. Can't they think of better ways to spend their budget than on blatant b-movies like "Aztec Rex" and bland shows like "Eureka"? NBC is just wasting that channel...

FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!Link- Steven Moffat to be Doctor Who Lead Writer and Executive Producer
Date: 20.05.2008
Printable version
BBC Wales and BBC Drama has announced that BAFTA and Hugo Award-winning writer Steven Moffat will succeed Russell T Davies as Lead Writer and Executive Producer of the fifth series of Doctor Who, which will broadcast on BBC One in 2010.
Moffat has penned some of the series' most unforgettable and acclaimed episodes, including Blink, with its terrifying weeping angels, for which he was awarded the BAFTA Writer Award 2008 on Sunday 11 May.
His previous work on Doctor Who includes The Girl In The Fireplace for series two, which earned him his second Hugo Award.
His first was for the series one two-parter The Empty Child, which became famous for its terrifying refrain "Are you my mummy?"
For the current series, Moffat has written Silence In The Library, a two-parter starring Alex Kingston which transmits on 31 May and 7 June 2008 on BBC One.
Steven's career began with the landmark ITV children's drama Press Gang in 1989, for which he won his first Bafta. Coupling, the hugely popular and award-winning sitcom he created and wrote for BBC Two, began in 2000 and ran for four seasons. Jekyll, his six-part thriller starring James Nesbitt and Michelle Ryan, transmitted on BBC One last year.
Steven will continue as one of the directors on the board of Hartswood Films which produced Coupling and Jekyll, where he is also working on his new comedy Adam & Eve with wife Sue Vertue.
He has just delivered the screenplay for Tintin – the first instalment of the trilogy of films featuring the iconic Belgian comic-strip hero – to Steven Spielberg who will direct it for DreamWorks. Thomas Sangster and Andy Serkis will star.
Steven Moffat says: "My entire career has been a Secret Plan to get this job. I applied before but I got knocked back 'cos the BBC wanted someone else. Also I was seven.
"Anyway, I'm glad the BBC has finally seen the light, and it's a huge honour to be following Russell into the best - and the toughest - job in television. I say toughest 'cos Russell's at my window right now, pointing and laughing."
Lead Writer and Executive Producer Russell T Davies says: "It's been a delight and an honour working with Steven, and I can't wait to see where his extraordinary imagination takes the Doctor. Best of all, I get to be a viewer again, watching on a Saturday night!"
Jane Tranter, Controller, BBC Fiction, says: "Scripts and writers are at the heart of what BBC Drama is all about, and especially at the heart of Doctor Who. The past four series have been brilliantly helmed by the spectacularly talented Russell T Davies.
"As Lead Writer and Executive Producer, he has overseen the creative direction and detail of the 21st century relaunch of Doctor Who and we are delighted to have his continued presence on the specials over the next 18 months.
"But the challenge and excitement of the fifth series is now being handed to Steven Moffat. The Tardis couldn't be in safer hands. Steven's talents on both Doctor Who and beyond are well known. He is a writer of glittering brilliance, comedy and depth, with an extraordinary imagination and a unique voice.
"Steven has a wonderful mix of being a committed Doctor Who fan and a true artist, and his plans for the next series are totally thrilling."
The announcement follows the news that Piers Wenger will take over the role of Executive Producer from Julie Gardner on series five of Doctor Who.
Piers Wenger says: "The challenge of taking Doctor Who to a new future is a huge and thrilling one and BBC Wales is blessed to have someone with Steven's extraordinary talent in charge.
"His imagination and creativity have already given birth to some of the series' most unforgettable monsters though in this instance no-one need fear; time, space and the future of The Doctor are safe with him."
Wenger and Moffat are already working closely together on the planning of the series.
Menna Richards, Controller, BBC Wales, says: "BBC Wales is very proud of Doctor Who's phenomenal success. Steven Moffat is an extraordinary talent and we are very much looking forward to him joining the Doctor Who team."
Series four has achieved some of the show's highest audience figures to date and forthcoming episodes feature a stellar line-up of guests including Lesley Sharp, Lindsey Coulson, Alex Kingston, Colin Salmon and Michael Brandon.
Doctor Who will return in 2009 with four specials, and the full-length fifth series is currently scheduled to be broadcast on BBC One in Spring 2010.

while I don't have the hate for RTD that you guys do, I am glad Moffet will be taking over. He has written the best episodes each season, the episodes that got me hooked on the show so the idea of him running things is great.

I understand that Neil Gaiman has been approached to write for the popular TV series "Doctor Who," for broadcast in 2010.
So what's going on here? Let's find out.
THE MAN WITH TWO HEARTS
Well we all know Russell T Davies is leaving "Doctor Who" after next year’s four episode non-season.
My wife will tell anyone who listens that when Eve was born three years ago, she wasn’t sure what I was more excited about, her birth or "Doctor Who" coming back. I think that's a little unfair, but I do remember watching "Father's Day" with Eve in my arms blubbing like a baby. And now we all watch it together.
Not only did Russell bring back one of my fondest childhood memories, but he turned it into the country’s prime television icon. More people in the UK are exposed to science-fiction through modern "Doctor Who" than everything else put together. It’s a social phenomenon in a multi-channel, online splintered world.
The online geekish criticism Russell gets for his work seems so minor compared to his huge and continuing achievements with the series. Complaints about deus ex machinas, power of love ending, discarded plot points, and out of kilter humour seem like pointing out that Mohammed Ali had a pimple during his big fight. They mean nothing compared to the pure joy, excitement, the spread of genuine subversive ideas under a cosy blanket while simultaneously binding the family unit for a shared experience. And doing it all with bloody Doctor Who as well.
It’s quite possible he’s actually helped reduce violence, and increase social cohesion in the country as a whole with this silly, brave, wonderful television show.
Thank you Russell. We’ll miss you. Please keep writing episodes.
ONE LIFE FURNISHED IN EARLY MOFFAT
So, what does Steven Moffat showrunning "Doctor Who" mean (apart from giving old LITG columns a Google lift)?
Well, we all know his "Doctor Who" work " "The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances," "The Girl In The Fireplace" and "Blink." Some of us also know "The Curse Of Fatal Death," "Timecrash" and "Continuity Errors." If you like early "Buffy," "Veronica Mars" and early "Smallville," then "Press Gang" will knock your socks off. Along with "Hitchhikers" and "The Goons." "Press Gang" made me want to write in the first place, managed to make sex symbols out of Julia Sawalha and Dexter Fletcher and given its time slot, probably pushed the boundaries more than Russell T Davies’ "Queer As Folk" did. One episode may have had the "honour" of being swiped by Alan Moore for "WildCATS" while abother featured a Colonel X character seemingly drawn straight from Jon Pertwee's Doctor.
Steven went on to write "Joking Apart," the absolutely perfect sitcom farce, and "Coupling" which seemed to try and top each episode for impossible swallowing-its-own-tail structures, reaching a pinnacle with "Remember Me," as well as a character who ran a comics-and-sci-fi shop. And then there was the genuine fear and invention of "Jekyll." Still gives me chills that one.
Steven is also writing the upcoming "Tintin" screenplays, a new sitcom called "Adam And Eve" and there is still talk of his Bruce Willis-less movie "Me Again" and a revival of "Press Gang" with the original cast.
As for "Doctor Who?" Well, some people see Steven as transforming Doctor Who into something very different. That’s not true, Steven has been a cheerleader for Russell’s work on the project from Day One and will continue in that vein. Indeed, he may well fight aganst what is expected of him. But odds are we’ll get some more fun time travel stories out of it, maybe a slight tweak towards intricate structure, and some interesting geek-friendly names.
Such as the rumour running around my BBC sources that Neil Gaiman being approached to write an episode for 2010. That would be this Neil Gaiman, comic author, fantasy novelist, screenwriter, poet and writer of the Duran Duran Biography 1985. With possibly the most non-committal non-confirmation I’ve ever read. And I’ve read the responses of current Labour ministers.
In fact when I asked Neil if he’d care to comment, he pleaded the Francis saying, "You may very well think that, but I could not possibly comment."
I do very well think that. I do.
Of course, nothing will actually have been commissioned by the BBC at this stage, and there's many a slip 'twixt cup and prosthetic lip, but it's looking good.
So who else? I hear mention that Rob Shearman, who wrote "Dalek" for the Christopher Eccleston season and reportedly had a parting of ways with Davies, has been approached to return to the series.
The one question I really want answered is, as a straight man, will Steven pursue a lesbian agenda on the show?
And as for a new Doctor in a few years time… Dexter Fletcher? Robert Bathurst? Richard Coyle? James Nesbitt? Gina Bellman?? Explore the Moffatverse yourself...
And you know, it was Steven who requested that Jenny survive at the end of "The Doctor’s Daughter," so…
