Davies: 'Who' Specials Will Have An Arc

[Snick27]

Despite rumors, the adventure will span four episodes and, although won't exactly be a four-part story, will include an arc that will be the beginning of the end for the 10th Doctor.

"There's the Easter one and then a big gap, and then the other three are going to go out around Christmas time/end of the year," showrunner Russell T. Davies recently told SFX Magazine, courtesy of Sci-Fi Pulse. "It ends in a two-parter. There's a very strong link between the last three specials. It's not a three-parter, but there's a strong connection. As we head towards the ending it gets thematically bigger and bigger.

Still not sold on Matt Smith, just feel the whole show is going to be like the The Sarah Jane Adventures.

Still Easter is next month but then christmas is soooo many months away. Wont they be filming season five by the time this ark is ending?

Isn't that the point? Every regeneration should be totally different.

You would have been pissed in 1966!

this is one of those things I wonder how the internet would react to it, if the internet had been around then.

"What have you done to BBC1's Doctor Who? Of all the stupid nonsense! Why turn a wonderful series into what looked like Coco the Clown? I think you will find thousands of children will not now be watching Doctor Who, which up to now has been the tops."

^A letter to the Radio Times.

Other contemporary reaction to Troughton's debut:

This unenthusiastic reaction was largely echoed in viewers' comments recorded in the BBC's Audience Research Report on the third episode of the story. 'Once a brilliant but eccentric scientist, he now comes over as a half-witted clown,' complained a teacher. 'The family have really "gone off" Doctor Who since the change,' noted another viewer. 'They do not understand the new one at all, and his character is peculiar in an unappealing way.' The report contained much criticism, too, of Troughton's performance - although one person conceded that he 'seemed to be struggling manfully with the idiotic new character that Doctor Who has taken on since his change'. Typical opinions were that he was overacting, 'playing for laughs' and making the Doctor into 'something of a pantomime character'. 'I'm not sure that I really like his portrayal,' was one verdict. 'I feel the part is over-exaggerated - whimsical even - I keep expecting him to take a great watch out of his pocket and mutter about being late like Alice's White Rabbit'. A number frankly stated that they had preferred William Hartnell in the role. There was however a recognition from a minority that Troughton had yet to settle down and that there was still time for him to become 'fully acceptable'. Perhaps the most positive comment came from a student, who said that 'Patrick Troughton, a brilliant actor, had improved the programme greatly'.

and we say the people who post on OG are bad. Sadly this supports my theory that if the web had exist back then, the people on it would be much the same as it is now.

still I cant complain, ive said similar about other shows.

here is the orginal story on scipulse.

My point is about Matt is he dresses like a bum and just wish he would dress more professinally. It would be the same if Tennant walked around everywhere in sweetpants and an stained tee shirt. It would make Dr Who second rate.

I just see pics of Matt out and about and its embarrassing.

Doctor Who just hasn't been the same since they introduced the old time-traveling guy to a perfectly enjoyable series about a cop walking through fog and hearing a strange noise.

Well, every season of Davies' Who has had an arc so there's no reason to think that the specials wouldn't.

He has a fucking life outside Doctor Who! Dear god some DW fans are nuts! If he wants to dress up in a pink dress with flowers when gonig to the mall then he has every fucking right to do whatever the hell he wants! It's his fucking life, it's his private life, so get over yourself. He will wear different clothing as the damn doctor!

What do you wear to bed? A suit? I expect you to be more professional.

Lol, I guarantee Matt knows a hell of a lot more about style and fashion than a bunch of scifi nerds.
