Oh yeah, haha :colonhash:

Shakespeare is just a different class, I was only kidding about not comparing. People will do it anyway.


I love Shakespeare, and I love Doctor Who, but you're right, comparing them is like...comparing a rock and a sponge. Or a cake and a tree.

Yeah, as soon as I saw Tennant regenerate into Smith I thought "No, I hate you, go away and bring Tennant back!!!" and then when he popped out the TARDIS in the 11th Hour I thought..."Oh. Maybe he's not so bad..." and it took less than 45 minutes for me to love him as much as Tennant. :biggrin:


Sadly I think it took at least half (if not all) of Series 5 for me to realise how awesome (and cute) he is :tongue:

I can see resemblances between Doctor Who and Shakespeare, though I doubt that's what the writers were aiming for :lol:

Yeah, he's pretty good. Got a bit tired of it by like the third book though. I've got some more of his to read as well.


yeah i started to get bored of his thursday next series a while ago to but i remember loving it once upon a time lol, i would highly recommend shades of grey by him though - hard to get into as its so odd but well worth it by the end :smile:

Token dr who comment: The doctor can hop in and out of other universes, maybe only a matter of time till he hops into the plot of an existing book or film :biggrin: ok it wont happen but i can dream as it would be amusing :tongue:

I thought he was awesome for ages but it took until a couple of weeks ago when I was re-watching series 5 to realise he's pretty good looking himself. :biggrin: Think it was the green eyes that did it for me. :love:

Including Frank Turner's new album title!

Alhthough I would say Doctor Who has been more influenced by Harry Potter than Shakespeare

in that case totally agree :biggrin: particularly in how it has managed such a broad appeal across all the different demographics

It won't endure for that long (Harry Potter).

In ep 'The Shakespeare Code', tennant said: “So, magic and stuff? It’s a surprise, it’s all a bit Harry Potter.” “Wait till you read book seven. Oh, I cried.”
