  • DOCTOR WHO ONE

    Interestingly, I’ve just learned in an interview from the latest Doctor Who Magazine that Ellis George who played Courtney Woods in Doctor Who last year lives in my old home town, Barking 😀

    I live in nearby Ilford which is like right next door to it . Never realized she was that local 🙂

    I wish they would have offered a limited number of variants of Colin in his blue outfit. Hanging both up on the wall side by side would have been shiny! Maybe in a parallel universe…

    A beautifully simplistic cover, and I look forward to listening to The Final Adventure; the Sixth Doctor’s well-deserved regeneration story. It is fitting that Big Finish should produce this adventure as they have truly allowed the sixth Doctor to shine, in many ways that the TV show, at that point, never did.

    I know we have Spiral Scratch, but in my opinion Colin’s participation in the story already makes it a much more valid version of events.

    Let’s hope (and I know Big Finish will not disappoint) for something more than “a bump on the head”.

    I’m hoping this isn’t Colin leaving the world of Doctor Who behind. Despite his treatment during the Eighties there has been, in my opinion, no finer ambassador and enthusiast for the programme for the last 30 years than him,

      i assumed this was about his big finish regeneration story

      That’s what I assumed too

      Yes, I also presumed that – but I did just wonder whether he was calling time on the Big finish stories by regenerating. Are there any listed that he’s due to appear in following the regeneration story?

      The 6th Doctor has more trilogies and stories listed (Involving a new companion, who joins him the very month that the last adventure is released and features in the last adventure)! The Last Adventure is a tribute to the best of the sixth Doctor, and a simply a regeneration story for Colin’s Doctor because he never got one on TV. It also features the Valeyard – will we find out exactly who the Valeyard is, I wonder (please don’t start a debate on this)?

      Matparks08 He is lined up to do at least six more after ‘The Last Adventure’

      We already know who the Valeyard is. It was the Eleventh Doctor during a dark spell, as explained by The Great Intelligence.

      no the valyeard is capaldi during a dark spell

      12th and final incarnation

      not 1th and 12th

    • CJ

      July 21st, 2015 - 9:41am

      Capaldi’s the 14th incarnation isn’t he? As it goes…

      The 1st Doctor = 1st Incarnation
      The 2nd Doctor = 2nd Incarnation
      The 3rd Doctor = 3rd Incarnation
      The 4th Doctor = 4th Incarnation
      The 5th Doctor = 5th Incarnation
      The 6th Doctor = 6th Incarnation
      The 7th Doctor = 7th Incarnation
      The 8th Doctor = 8th Incarnation
      The War Doctor = 9th Incarnation
      The 9th Doctor = 10th Incarnation
      The 10th Doctor = 11th Incarnation
      The 10th Doctor (again, due to his regeneration in The Stolen Earth/Journey’s End) = 12th Incarnation
      The 11th Doctor = 13th Incarnation
      So that makes…
      The 12th Doctor = 14th Incarnation

      So Anonymous is right as the 11th Doctor was in fact the final incarnation.

      You’re right CJ, The Valeyard is from somewhere between The Doctors 12th and 13th incarnation so between The Meta-Chrisis Doctor and The 11th Doctor

    • CJ

      July 21st, 2015 - 9:49am

      I thought so

      This isn’t my idea, but someone posted a good article saying that the Valeyard would have been what the Time Lord Victorius from ‘The Waters of Mars’ would have gone on to become, but because Adelaide shot herself that meant that timeline was averted. I thought it was quite clever and it fits the facts mostly.

    This has got to be one of the best Doctor Who Magazine covers ever! I think Colin’s Doctor is so underrated, I love the way he portrays the Doctor. It will be interesting to read what Colin has to say in this issue, totally loving it already!!
    I think he really deserves this audio adventure coming in September to finally discuss how his Doctor died and will possibly provide some closure to his fans. Really looking forward to this.

    Not that keen on the cover, but that’s because I’m not that keen on the Sixth Doctor!
