The Doctor In The TARDIS

Is anyone else watching? That was brilliant! We need to get a clip of it in here :P It was like it's own mini episode or something

I saw. It was brilliant! I am hunting for the clip already. It is bound to be online soon!

Oh please do. I'd love to see it!  ;D

You might not get some of the brit references, but its still funny and Matt is awesome :)

I missed it due to not having a TV, and being at the pizza shop, omnomnom.  Cheers for keeping an eye out for the clip Double P, I imagine someone like BlogtorWho will have it up soonish?

That was soooo good. Best way to start the show  :)

Spot on :)

I went there and here it is :)

Yay!!  Cheers PP :D

I love Matts blue shirt/red tie combo. I hope thats kept in S6

That was EPIC!!!! Certainly makes up for missing out on CiN last year for me ^___^

*goes to watch again*

Very cool clip, Matt showing yet again how effortlessly he's jumped into the role.

Wonder if the fella on that site still hates me.
 ;D

Haha why does he hate you?

OMFG NO WAY! Waterloo Road beat Doctor Who?!?! How the hell did that happen? Its ****

Awww....really bummed Doctor Who or Sherlock didn't win.  :'(

Erm...when TEoT pt1 aired, he did a rather venomous rant in his review about people who didn't like it.
I politely tweeted that everyone had differing opinions & got blocked for my troubles.
C'Est La Vie.  ::)

I've never even heard of Waterloo Road :-X lol

Its been on for ages. The first series was great but then it went downhill. Its basically Grange Hill without Zammo and a bit of extra swearing

No Zammo?!?!?!?!  Next you'll be telling there's no Mr Bronson either :o Sad times :'(

I'm wondering if Sherlock and Who fans split the votes too evenly; it was a hard choice and maybe the reason why neither could win? :(

Well I didnt vote for Sherlock I know that much. Cumberbatch makes me me insane! But I think you are probably spot on with that

I'll admit that I voted for both shows at the long list stage to make sure they both made the short list, but once that was in place I only voted for DW. I know from Twitter though that people voted for both or split their votes - had a feeling this might happen  :-\

Yea I think that everyone trying to be diplomatic about it is what ultimately lost them the award. Its a shame but at least its that rather than people not voting for it at all.

Besides, theres no need to get down. Matt still could win his :D

I have a feeling a split vote thing could scupper that as well if I'm honest :(

Have to say I agree.

I don't think so. If anything I think the biggest worry is that he is up against David Jason, who is awesome and very well loved by the nation.

I'm already reading 'Doctor Who is in crisis' 'Down With Moffat' stuff etc on t'interweb. If anyone starts a thread about the sky falling in on here I shall be writing a very angry post :P ;D

To be fair I'm reading just as many people shouting the nay sayers down as there are those saying Moff/MS fails, people do love to crow :(

That's ok then :) Is it all on Twitter too then? I'm tempted to sign in and have a look

Yeah, I'm trying to avoid it all thou.  I love the way the show makes me feel during the current era, it's a shame others don't feel the same way, but they have their DVDs and a new showruner in a few years to look forward to.  I'd rather it be constructive criticism than just slagging off, I don't understand people wanting to be like that when they love the many other facets of the show :-X

I couldnt agree more, Sandi.

Yay they showed fish custard. I love that scene. Caitlin Blackwood is brilliant

I'm not surprised by the result, and it is a shame, but I think it was well deserved nonetheless. David Jason is great so well done to him

Great actor, a the nations favourite tbh so not too surprised.

New siggy :OO

Ha I just saw you tweet that. Its great :P

That sig is fantastic Sandi - sums up how I feel about the Drama award  :)

Drama performance was a tough category though - with all the fuss surrounding the noms of Matt & Benedict I didn't realise Phil Glenister & David Jason were up for it too. They are all fab so I'm not going to complain about it  :)

Fits perfectly :D  He's doing a second one too, can't wait to see it, lol

I just saw the second one. Its awesome lol

Here's the other one he made :D

They are both excellent - though I think the 2nd one may just have the edge  :)

I have to agree PRG, am just wondering if it's too big to change to in my siggy XD

Its smaller than most. Iceman has two.

Go for it

Sooooo.many.jokes. :-X


I will give it a go :D

I very nearly added another comment, but I deleted it before hitting post. Wouldnt want to bruise any egos :P

Hey Guys. 

Thought i'd join you all :)

Glad you like the gif's :D :D

Hey Chris :D

Only just got in from a shift so missed the awards. Shame that DW went home empty handed but I think it bears no reflection on the show and how good it is lately

I don't know you, but hey :)

Hear, hear!!

How did I completely miss the Graham Norton joke the first time round...'What's that box doing on my screen?!' LMAO!!!!!

Haha I know. I didnt notice it until I saw Exterminate mention it in The Water Cooler

Brilliant clip! Gutted about the results though =/

That video is brilliant!!! They should have won for that alone :P

*Coughs* Last night, I totally flipped out on twitter. I'd like to put the calm version here. Basically, I'm gutted Smith and Cumberbatch (?) lost out to David Jason but he's a great actor so deserved it.

All I'll say on the WLR matter is... *Points to Sandiwich11s siggy* :P

I hear there's another siggy that I apparntly missed Sandi, is there anywhere I can see this other siggy people are talking about lol.

This little quote comes from The Sun so feel free to take it with a pinch of salt:

David (Jason), who beat Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch & Matt Smith from Doctor Who, revealed he didn't even vote for himself.

The actor said: "I voted for Doctor Who! I didn't vote for me."

If this is true (and yeah I know all the reasons why it might not be, not least the source!) then, coming from such a well loved & respected actor, that's a great seal of approval for Matt  :)

One thing that's not cool about these things is when so called fans start bashing the show they apparantly love, for not winning. What I find even less cool though is the fans who instead of accepting it gracefully, start bashing the other shows/actors who were taking part. Combom have written a piece which seems to be getting a few peoples backs up where as well as bashing the other competitors, they also accuse the NTA of rigging it so that Doctor Who couldnt win. They don't explain why they would, just that they must have. Its ridiculous. Here is their argument:


Rigging the National Television Awards so Doctor Who & Sherlock Don't Win

Last night saw the farcical National Television Awards 2011, and what a joke they turned out to be, by putting two shows in the same category that will split the vote. If you ask most fans of Doctor who and Sherlock, they will happily admit to being fans of both, and that is where the problems arise, or as we call it, the NTA vote rigging,

Doctor Who would have beaten Waterloo Road under normal circumstances, and Sherlock was in with a very good chance too, but put them together in the same category, the vote is split and Waterloo Road wins. If you watch the video of the event, you see the Waterloo Road team are as surprised they won as we were, they even had no prepared speech!

However there is still the Who Cares Attitude, in 10 years time, which show will be remembered? Waterloo Where? As you have seen, its not hard to fix the results if you apply some thought!

I agree. And I wouldnt be at all surprised if it were true :)

See, **** like this is so stupid. Its what makes fandom so annoying. Doctor Who is awesome, but its not invincible and can't always win. So many so called fans are now using this as a way to have a pop at the show with their 'Bring Back Tennant' **** and it's just stupid

The people that are saying "if Tennant were still the Doctor..." frustrate me to no end. It's not about the actor, it's about the show. I better stop before a bit of the me from last night shines through and I dive into a rant about how WLR and David Jason are... I need to stop!

What they completely appear to overlooked is that there was a longer list at some point in the voting process & yes, someone chose to put both shows on that list (presumably because they are both fantastic (IMO) & highly rated shows), but there's no way they could've rigged it so both shows made the short list - that was voted by the public as well and the public deemed both good enough to progress. Yes I think it was the split vote that did for both shows & yes I freely admit that expressed shock about the result on Twitter last night but that's it - shock. No malice - I can't really judge Waterloo Road because I've never watched it - just doesn't appeal.

As for the whole 'this wouldn't have happened if RTD/DT were still around' thing - how can anyone possibly back up a claim like that? Wouldn't have stopped Sherlock being an amazing (again IMO) show would it? And therefore the split vote may well have still kicked in. We will never know.

Sorry I had enough of seeing that last night on Twitter - just needed to express my thoughts *deep breath* I love David Tennant - have done for much longer than I've been watching DW - but he's gone. And Matt Smith, for me, has done a more than admirable job since. That's all I need  :)

Well said!

I didn't see the awards last night, and I don't think they really matter that much.  In any case, getting into the finals means it was considered one of the four best of the year.  Anyone who's been nominated for an Oscar flaunts it, even if they don't win.

Like poprockgeek, I've never seen Waterloo Road, apart from trailers.  It doesn't look great, but for all I know it could be brilliant.  And losing to David Jason is hardly a disgrace.  Incidentally, I've just been watching old footage of him from the 60s - in a forerunner of Python, no less.  He was brilliant then.
