Guessing that episode 10 has its own block after the finale is filmed, they do the World Tour, and come back and do the Christmas Special afterwards.

Not a spoiler, but speculation based on that picture:
The Master's party trick in the classic series was shrinking people. Could it be that he applied that trick to the Tardis?

Alternatively, the first time we saw the Meddling Monk the Doctor left him stranded after shrinking his Tardis. I don't think we'll be seeing the Monk anytime soon (certainly not before other Gallifreyans), but his Tardis could have run into a similiar malfunction.

I bought one of those off ThinkGeek for my mom! You put cookies in it and when you close it it makes the TARDIS sound!

I see it all the time, and I'm constantly telling myself that I don't need it.

On the other hand, I do own the Sonic Screwdriver, which I flick around randomly.

Yeah the swearing is gone but I'd love some of the Malcolm Tucker incredulity at other people's incompetence. Whereas Tennant and Smith's Doctors would reason with people or beg them to change their ways, I'd love Capaldi's to just sweep in, call everyone or infer that everyone is being stupid, sort it out and move on. We'd have a quicker pace that way.

I think it's been implied we're basically getting Hartnell Mark II. And Hartnell didn't take any shit. He seemed endlessly annoyed by Barbara and Ian.

Not to be a debbie downer, but yeah, I cant wait for Capaldi to be the doctor, not this weird fantasy of Malcolm placed inside the Tardis. Even his few seconds in the Christmas special, he showed enough class to dismiss that.

For his first episode or two, yeah.

This idea that the first Doctor was some hardarsed grump is so totally off-base, though. He spends far more time as an avuncular and charming grandpa than he does being an unknowable and unfriendly alien. Seriously, watch AAITAS again- it was Hartnell's charming twinkle that he was cast for, not his no nonsense attitude that he'd shown in his previous roles. I rather suspect Capaldi will be similar, if a little less human than Tennant and Smith.

Yeah to the above. The people who say Hartnell was the grump are either massively simplifying or haven't really seen his stuff. It's like saying Tennant is harsh and firm after seeing The Christmas Invasion.

Reckon Capaldi will be deeper down the alien path than Tennant or Smith but will stop short of where Eccleston was. The quotes and claims will be overblown, inevitably.

It's happening:

Paul McGann has revealed that production has begun on a sequel to The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot.

The comedy short film, which was created to celebrate Doctor Who's 50th anniversary last year, starred McGann, Sylvester McCoy, Colin Baker and Peter Davison as themselves. In the film, the former Doctor actors attempted to become stars in the anniversary special.

No further details have been revealed about the sequel at this stage.

Serious case of [happening intensifies] starting out your post like that.

Won't say no to another Five-ish Doctors, though!

Yeah, that always bothers me when even someone like Moffat describes him like that. He's only really grumpy for the first couple of stories, until Ian and Barbara's friendship softens him a bit. It's actually quite a nice bit of character progression throughout his seasons, and proves why the Doctor needs companions around him.

Hells yeah! I hope that the production crew gives them access to the sets again. The moment where 5, 6 and 7 walk into 11's Tardis was my favorite bit. They actually react how they would in a 'real' multidoctor special in that scene. Looking forward to this.

Capaldi hopes to "turn back time" in heartfelt video message to students

Doctor Who star Peter Capaldi has recorded a heartfelt and funny video message pledging to help students at his former art school after their work was lost in a fire at the building.

Capaldi has joined Hollywood star Brad Pitt as a trustee of The Mackintosh Appeal, which aims to raise money to restore parts of the Glasgow Art School's Mackintosh building, after it was hit by a blaze last month.

Former graphic design student Capaldi is an alumnus of the school, while Pitt is a fan of Scots architect Rennie Mackintosh who designed the building.

The only thing I can think is that is about the new doctor who 10th anniversary. Why would they do this if not. Maybe theres not even an anniversary and they want to crack jokes on that.

Didn't want to make a new thread for this, but I wanted to start watching the show. Apparently there are like a million different versions, right? So where's a good place to start?

I guess from a modern standpoint you can just start from the 2005 series onward. It's all on Netflix if you have it.
