We must see pre-Library River again though because the Doctor hasn't given her his old sonic screwdriver yet?!!! It's been bugging me.


Could have happened off screen tbh

I think they're just leaving the River story now. They showed the last time the Doctor met River (before the library) briefly in a DVD extra, which was really more of a joke as the Doctor met multiple versions of River.

It's a bit of a cop out really, 3 series of River Song and foreshadowing and they basically just write her out. I don't think we'll see her again.

I hope we don't. I would be happy for an RTD style 'restart' to cancel her out of absolutely everything to do with DW and so I never have to hear any gob****e say 'spoilers' like her again.

Haha I'm guessing you're not too fond of her! :lol:

'Hello Sweetie' :colone:
It doesn't seem to have been mentioned here, so I thought I'd ask if people have heard the recent spoiler about John Hurt? Or not so much spoiler, but confirmation of a theory...

Spoiler



Just thought I'd mention it as no one else here seems to have :smile:
I don't know about you guys but I found the dialogue made me cringe on several occasions... I blame that a lot on River Snog but still. The whole episode felt kinda messy, as if it had been done in a hurry.

HELP ME I'm falling out of love with my favourite TV show :frown:(( Gonna rewatch some series 3 stuff right now, should set this all right.
I think Andrew Scott (moriarty) should be the next Doctor!
Not gonna happen but it'd be awesome :biggrin:

Also did anyone else see Prince Charles on the Doctor Who set? It was so funny :lol:
But Matt's hair is still short, how will this fit in with the upcoming episodes? Will he wear a wig... :tongue:
I reckon it must be fairly soon now that we'll find out who the next Doctor will be. They've had enough time to cast the role. I guess they want to keep us on tenterhooks as long as possible though...

No, but he is a fan of giving out casting details. We knew about JLC yonks before she appeared on screen. Same when Matt Smith was cast - it was announced ages before the regeneration episode...

EDIT - just checked - Matt Smith was announced in January 2009, but appeared first on screen in December 2009.

EDIT again - according to Wikipedia (that most reliable of sources :wink: ), series 8 is due to start filming in September. They'll have to announce it before then or it'll be leaked.
