July 26th, 2013 - 9:52pmSo have I got this right? No one is absolutely sure what is going to be on the UK DVD Set of Season 7? America is supposedly getting it a month earlier but with more on it including both Xmas Specials & it’s £40 from there not including Postage? So the gist is we are getting dumped on again?
I would have thought after 2 Separate Releases (Parts 1 & 2) & such a long wait we would get a COMPLETE Box Set?
milesman1000
July 26th, 2013 - 10:17pmIt is really dissapointing how the US are in every aspect basically getting better things than the UK.
The Amount of episodes (apparentley)
more bonus features
personally i think a better cover
and an ealier release date than the country its basically made in.
Radburn
July 27th, 2013 - 3:37amI agree! As you said, you can’t really call it the COMPLETE Set. I did not want to buy dribs & drabs of DVD’s – I wanted everything on ONE Box Set so that was why I waited. I expected:
2011 Xmas Special
First Part Series 7 (5 Episodes)
2012 Xmas Special
Second Part Series 7 (8 Episodes) PLUS –
ALL the Special Features
I’m wondering if this is another pathetic attempt by the Marketing lot to screw a few more pennies out of us?
Well, we shall see…
milesman1000
July 26th, 2013 - 9:49pmif doctor the widow the wardrobe are not on here they cant really call it a COMPLETE boxset and that would also mean that many people would have waited nearly two years to get the episode on a full dvd boxset but found out they could have just got a month after it was on telly on dvd because theres no episode.
i liked this episode everyone is allowed there own opinion.

WHY ARE YOU OBSSESED WHITH RANI??????
josh smith
July 26th, 2013 - 9:30pmShe was a fantastic character and her TARDIS is epic
That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 9:34pmBoth great and understandable reasons!
Anonymous
July 26th, 2013 - 9:34pmI always found her a bad villan (and not in the good way) although it doesent help the story’s she was in were awful time and the rani and Mark of the rani both terible did you like those story’s ? As for the character herself I never found her acting vary strong
That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 9:36pmI think Lara Pulver (aka Irene Adler) would make an excellent up to date version of the character.
josh smith
July 26th, 2013 - 9:37pmshe was amazing in The mark of the rani. time of the rani she actually acted well in that she was good in dimentions of time aswell

July 26th, 2013 - 9:12pmRather than The Shadow Men, however about The Dark? It sounds creepier and more chilling… 🙂
josh smith
July 26th, 2013 - 9:17pmThe darkness?
That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 9:19pmYes! The Darkness sounds epic. And the Dark/the Darkness could be some freaky new villain, which takes the appearance of just shadows and absorbs people’s fear… The more fear they absorb, the stronger they become…? 🙂
josh smith
July 26th, 2013 - 9:27pmThats a fantastic idea! And in the end they are controlled by the black Guardian

That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 8:20pmNew Earth was a bit lacklustre in my opinion. Not bad, but not great. The others, I agree, were good 🙂
auton101
July 26th, 2013 - 8:20pmTo be fare series 7 had ok stories, if there were 2 parters in there it wouldn’t have seemed rushed, series 6 was the worst, the stories were terrible.
TARDISTIME
July 26th, 2013 - 8:25pmI like Series 7 the best but the worst was Series 1 or Series 6

July 26th, 2013 - 8:28pmnew earth when i watched it it was dark i got scared but now when i watch it is so funny when cassandra goes into rose and says nice rear bumpa!’ and ‘its like a bouncy castle’
That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 8:29pmI think Series 7 (already my favourite series to date) would have improved dramatically if this was how they had set things out production-wise.
1. Asylum of the Daleks
2. A Town Called Mercy
3. The Power of Three
4. The Angel’s Take Manhattan (part 1 of 2)
5. The Last Page (part 2 of 2)
6. The Snowmen
7. The Bells of Saint John
8. The Rings of Akhaten
9. Hide
10. Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS
11. The Crimson Horror
12. The Fields of Trenzalore (part 1 of 2)
13. The Name of the Doctor (part 2 of 2)
I’ll explain my changes in a mo!
That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 8:32pmSo, I’ve got rid of three episodes in favour of two-parters. Dinosaurs on a Spaceship I deleted because, although it was a fun episode, it wasn’t the very best, and didn’t contribute anything to the overall arc.
Cold War I’ve gotten rid of because the Ice Warriors could’ve been given a better opportunity to return in the next series. Cold War was a pretty good episode, it just wasn’t totally necessary at that point.
And this’ll probably be the most controversial, getting rid of Nightmare in Silver. Oh, and once again I’ve run out of space.
josh smith
July 26th, 2013 - 8:35pmfor me series 7 would be this
Return of Galifrey part 1
Return of Galifrey part 2
Return of Galifrey part 3
hide (but with amy and rory)
The rani and the sea monster
the rani and the sea monster part 2
the death of Mr and mrs williams
The names clara
Invasion of the spoon heads part 1
invasion of the spoon heads part 2
The battle of Waterloo part 1
the battle of Waterloo part 2
the 4 doctors
That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 8:38pmNo offence Josh, I think that’s called inventing a series, not improving upon something else 😉 And his it just deleted my explanation for omitting Nightmare in Silver? Not again…
Just as with the Ice Warriors, I think they’re return could’ve waited till next season. Simple as.
And the two-parters speak for themselves. I’ve extended The Name of the Doctor and The Angels Take Manhattan, simply to stretch them out and make them feel less rushed.
That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 8:39pmAgain, no offence, but might need to work on those titles. The Rani and the Sea Monster doesn’t strike me as being overally attention-grabbing 🙂
Matt Smithy
July 26th, 2013 - 8:42pmNeither does “the names Clara”
josh smith
July 26th, 2013 - 8:42pmits got the rani in it 🙂 She makes a sea monster and he doctors interrupts her experiments but she is able to make one and it grabs roay and stabs him with its stinger. he has 24 hours left to live and the rani captures amy and says you choice doctor. Do you choice amy or roary? (the clif hanger)
That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 8:46pmThinking about the story is always a good thing. For instance, could it be set on an island? Perhaps the Rani is in hiding/disguised, concocting some mysertious experiment unbeknown to the people of the village there. Perhaps the island could be hidden, tucked away from the rest of civilization. Now you have a plot, you have the beginning of a title. How about The Forgotten Island? Only a suggestion 🙂
That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 8:50pmAs for The Names’ Clara. Again, have a think about the story. Yes, it introduces a new companion. How could you get that point into the title without it being corny/cringeworthy? What about simply Oswald?
The Death of Mr and Mrs Williams is another. For starters, it’s too long. Too predictable. Also, far too revealing! But it’s the end of a saga for these two companions, so how about something like The Last Chapter or The Final Problem? 🙂
josh smith
July 26th, 2013 - 8:52pmyes a brilliant idea. On an island yes. But instead of villagers (to similer to the mark of the rani) maybe creatures form the sea. Yes and she spots the Doctor and captures him and starts experimenting on him aswell to combine DN with fish to turn him into a monster. Is the actor who played the rani stiill alive? if so we can have her regenerate at the end and run off in her TARDIS
josh smith
July 26th, 2013 - 8:54pmi see your point with the death of Mr and MrS Williams. mabye Planet 51. set in the far future of Earth’s inter planetary empire and they die on this planet. Could see they return of the Moniods?
That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 8:55pmYep, great ideas! And I were thinking of The Mark of the Rani similarites just as I were writing that part 🙂
Trenzalore
July 26th, 2013 - 8:58pmI think it would be better Amy and Rory die on Earth and story’s set on Earth are always scarier because the threat becomes real kind of.
That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 8:59pmI think, with the Rani episode, there needs to be some human prescense other than the Doctor, his companions and the Rani. There’s gotta be some other characters. But it’s always good just to build upon ideas! Keep thinking, it’s the best way to achieve. I myself love writing Doctor Who scripts. My favourite that I completed was entitled ‘A Bad Day at the Office’. It ignored continuity about Clara/Oswin, and sort of introduced the character from the start as if Asylum of the Daleks had never happened. I’ll explain more in my next comment 🙂
That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 9:02pmYep Trenzalore, great idea. It always makes the threat seem more close, more realistic. However, wouldn’t it make for a poignant ending if the Doctor had to bring the Ponds’ bodies back to Earth? Explain to their parents (who everyone seems to have forgotten about. They did appear in The Big Bang). It would make him feel worse and become more of a dark character, I think 🙂
josh smith
July 26th, 2013 - 9:04pmIf you ide away form your planet its much sader. like the death of Adric or The dead of peri
That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 9:10pmYep! Explain to me your ideas for Return to Gallifrey 🙂
That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 9:11pmI do apologise, I mean Return of Gallifrey!! 🙂
Trenzalore
July 26th, 2013 - 9:12pmI know everyone has forgotten about her parents. Literaly every episode I was waiting for them to return!
josh smith
July 26th, 2013 - 9:13pmnow this one ive been ready for a long time. Galifrey was never destroyed. you see only shielded. they made up the time war so that davros and his daleks can stay away from the Emperors daleks so they can avert a civil war. but galifrey is ready. Lella is the head of Galifrey army and they msss produce K9’s aswell. They call the Doctor to lead them into battle for a complete new life cycle 13 extra lives. They defete the dlaeks but davros getts away
Trenzalore
July 26th, 2013 - 9:13pmI guess they aren’t going to now 🙁
That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 9:17pmI know Trenzalore, I’d love to see them return. They weren’t in it for long, but they were both really likeable characters 🙁
As for the Return of Gallifrey idea, I’m liking it. I’ve actually been having a think about a Time War story lately. I’d got it mapped out in my head – to begin with they sent a Time Lord Agent to attempt to broker a peace with the Daleks. However, the Agent was assassinated and thus the Time War began. The Doctor had always been against the peace treaty from the off.
That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 9:18pmI’m imagining lots of immensely cool wand-like screwdriver battles. Or massive sonic spears, which would result in lightsaber-like battles?
I would rather plan the Time War in my head than see it on TV. I think the first would end up being much cooler, and best of all – no budget!! 😀
Trenzalore
July 26th, 2013 - 9:20pmSounds very first world war-y 😀
That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 9:22pmI also posted a second comment about it, with the Time War featuring battles with sonic spears (a bit lightsaber-y) or something like that. It’s apparently awaiting moderation. I wonder why?
josh smith
July 26th, 2013 - 9:22pmA scean form part 2 when the Doctor leela and the high council and the president are talking at the table.
The doctor: You realise what your asking me to do is against everything we believe in! Im not saying i never kill or never hurt people but this!..this is just….insane
The Kastilan; this is your own fault Doctor!. we asked you before to overt the beginning of the daleks but you disobeyed us.
the president: We will reward you with a complete new life cycle. 13 new bodies.
The Doctor: i can’t i just can’t
josh smith
July 26th, 2013 - 9:25pmContinued…
leela: Please Doctor you must agree if we Don;t destroy dvaros and his daleks they will conquer earth!
The president: Think of the cost of life if you don’t help us
The doctor: alight but not in the name of the Doctor!
That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 9:31pmSounds great! 😀 Ooh, I can’t resist a good script excerpt… Here’s one from an episode I wrote a while back that I talked about in a comment that’s apparently awaiting moderation, where Madame Vastra is showing the Doctor an unconscious Clara for the first time (he has no idea who she is, I’m ignoring continuity and practically having her as a totally different companion):
There are many other unconscious people dotted round, but Vastra leads the Doctor to one in particular – a woman, young, pretty. This is CLARA.
And I’ve run out of space!
That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 9:35pmI’ve made a bunch of comments, but they’re all being awaited for moderation 🙁 Loving the script though! 🙂
That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 9:41pmLoving the sound of the script! Here’s an extract from one of mine I’m writing, featuring a new companion for the Doctor named Lily, set in Victorian London:
The basement is full of bodies. Unconscious, yet still standing – they’re eyes closed, expressions blank. Vastra leads the Doctor to one in particular – a woman, young, pretty. This is LILY.
DOCTOR: Okay. My turn. What’s different about her?
LILY (eyes still closed): What on Earth are you wearing on your neck?
DOCTOR: What? I’m sorry? What?
To be continued…
That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 9:45pmCONTINUED:
VASTRA: Doctor, old friend. You say you don’t believe in miracles.
DOCTOR: No. I’m too old for miracles. Y’know, once upon a time, I almost believed. That perhaps there could be something.
VASTRA: This woman is unconscious, yes?
DOCTOR: Yes.
VASTRA: She’s in a coma. Has been for weeks.
DOCTOR: If you say so.
VASTRA: Then explain to me this –
LILY (eyes shut): Doctor?
The Doctor stares. Doesn’t believe it.
VASTRA: My dear friend… Tell me, if that is not a miracle, then what is?
LILY: Doctor? Doctor!
Continued…
That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 9:49pmCONTINUED:
VASTRA: She’s calling for you. I’m sure of it.
DOCTOR: Impossible.
He scans Lily over with the sonic screwdriver.
VASTRA: All across the galaxy. A distress call. A cry for help. You have never met this woman, correct?
DOCTOR: Never.
VASTRA: Yes.
DOCTOR: Listen to me Vastra, this is impossible. This is not possible.
VASTRA: Oh, I think it is. I think you know it is.
DOCTOR: No…
VASTRA: I think so.
LILY: Doctor? Doctor? Can you hear me Doctor?
A long pause.
DOCTOR (to Lily): Who? Doctor who?
Lily’s eyes open.
That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 9:53pmThen the Doctor says something like, “Oh, come on.” It’s still a work in progress. Reading it back, there are a couple lines I’d like to fix, edits I’d like to make. But I’m still tweaking it. 🙂
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
July 26th, 2013 - 10:01pmI like that Random Whovian! I have 7 scripts written, and I have them on an online website, here is a link to the first one – http://www.movellas.com/en/book/read/201302252049430173
josh smith
July 26th, 2013 - 10:04pmVery good but I would only change 2 things.
The doctor shoulnt say doctor who mabye he should say? THE doctor.
And the sonicscrewdriver dosnt need to be doing everything. Mabye he shouls have more things in his pocket like the 4th and 6th did .
But it is still a very good script
That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 10:20pmI agree. The sonic is being used for everything at the minute. Perhaps he should just examine her face, shine a torch in one of her eyes or something?
Thank you ever so much for the feedback. I’ll see what he could say instead. It’d need to be something that would confirm it’s him she’s talking about… But what could it be?
Antonio Zambonini
July 26th, 2013 - 10:44pmi profered series 7 part 1 to part 2 as it just was a bit to tacky and not really what dr who used to be i think matt smith was first introduced was good but after series 5 i thought it went down hill and i think series 7 part 2 could of done loads more better but i think its beacuse of amy and rory leaving 🙁

That Random Whovian
July 26th, 2013 - 8:03pmOnly just noticed this, but hey ho.
I think they’re sort of cheating when they count John Hurt as a ‘guest star’. I mean, for God sake, he only appeared for like 30 seconds in the last episode. I mean, don’t get me wrong – a mighty fine 30 seconds they were. I fell in love with his voice instanstly.
More than annoying me, listing him as a ‘guest star’ sort of makes me laugh though.

July 26th, 2013 - 8:44pmif they put him last it may have been more acceptable, but FIRST? 😀 HA! It’s probably so people just see “John Hurt” and buy it.

July 26th, 2013 - 9:05pmI suppose you’ve gotta give kudos to the BBC for advertising 😉

July 26th, 2013 - 7:49pmVery annoyed with this now BBC is an England broadcasting company not an American one! So sorry BBC you’ve forced me to buy the american one as that one has a better cover and more feature…oh BBC you was good back in the days…
thedaleksdeath
July 26th, 2013 - 7:50pmP.S Does it include The Snowmen?
thedaleksdeath
July 26th, 2013 - 7:53pmOh it does XD kind of happy in doesn’t include TDTWATW but yet it’s part of Dr.Who so it should be there!

July 26th, 2013 - 7:44pmChiwetel Ejiofor would be an excellent choice. And I’d watch just to see that incredible name of his flash up during the opening titles!

July 26th, 2013 - 7:24pmA black Doctor would be AWESOME! Chiwetel Ejiofor?

July 26th, 2013 - 8:42pmI myself am making one so wish me luck !!
Matt Smithy
July 26th, 2013 - 8:46pmvideogame that is pretty good! Obviously the edges of the characters are a bit ruff from the cutting, but I am sure if it was BBC that would be sorted! Good job!

July 26th, 2013 - 9:02pmI did try a fade effect but I can’t do that with my software (as far as I am aware).

July 28th, 2013 - 1:23pmThe Silent Silent, that is not a link. That’s a file path on your computer/laptop so we can’t see it.

July 26th, 2013 - 6:14pmwhat’s the release date?
Melkur
July 26th, 2013 - 6:04pmSo it’s coming out here a month later than the US? Ok i can live with that. And it doesn’t include the 2011 Christmas Special? Hmmm, fine,*grits teeth*, it’s not the end of the world i guess.
Now all i need to hear is that we’ll be charged the same equivalent price as the US version which has more content. I think i might be a tad annoyed then…..
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
July 26th, 2013 - 5:59pmdo you know what, they should do part 1 or 2, or this as i probably would’ve bought this if someone hadnt bought part 1 for me. you cant have one without 2
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND

RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
July 26th, 2013 - 5:59pmnot much of a big deal, but it wouldn’t hurt.
Joe
July 26th, 2013 - 5:32pmPersonally I think the cover should have been
The dr, Clara, Amy and Rory standing in the middle with the tardis behind them. Vhastra, Jenny and Strax at the bottom. and A dalek, The gunslinger, A weeping angle, The great intelligence, The mummy, Ice warrior, Cyberman and Whisperman on there.
It would work and It can have

Jenna Lousie Coleman
Karen Gillian
Aruthur Darvill
Neave Mcintosh
Dan starlet
Catrin Stewart
And Richard E grant

That cover would work

I would appreciate answers that don’t hate on the episode.
