[Classic Fan]

I havnt seen a thread on this yet, also havnt seen them linked in a different thread so i though id start one.

Looks promising. The realisation that it is Dalek weapons fire is similar to the reaction of Nine when he is locked in the room with the Dalek. Itll be interesting tomorrow to see how Smith acts with them as The Doctor.

Its interesting though, because next to Matt and Karen, the Dalek props look small. We know Karen is pretty tall as it is, but i thought Matt was shorter than Tennant, and even Tennant was eye level with the props.

Although, didnt Matt go on record saying they had re-done the Daleks so they met his eye line in one interview on either BBC.co.uk or DWM? Unless he was talking about the new 'Bumper-Daleks'

I am really looking forward to this episode.

Uh...have we actually seen the Doctor and Churchhill before or is their past relationship just an off-screen thing?

We know Karen is pretty tall as it is,

I've been meaning to ask or create a thread and ask, but I don't think this question actually justifies a whole thread, but how tall is she, on Confidential last week, Moffat said she was 5ft11, but is she really that tall or is it with her wearing high heals?

Also, the clip looks good and I love how Amy just goes up to the Dalek, taps on it's "shoulder" and asks if it's from another planet and the "love a squady" line made me laugh.

Same here. I just love the idea of the Daleks masquerading as a bunch of mindless servants, and the suspense of waiting for them to show their true colors.

Never on-screen. There were two books where the Sixth Doctor met Churchill, and the Tenth Doctor ran into him in a short story on the BBC website that explored exactly what he was talking about when he mentioned visiting Belgium to rescue Charlemagne from an insane computer in "The Unicorn and the Wasp."

In the books, Churchill first met the (sixth) Doctor when they broke out of a Boer prison camp around 1890, then he met the second Doctor when (post-War Games) the Time Lords sent him to the World War 1 trenches to check whether the people the War Lords had abducted had been returned home. Then the sixth Doctor and Churchill both had a major behind-the-scenes role in the abdication of Edward VIII. (The book is called Players)
Later on, during World War II, Churchill arranged for SOE to get the sixth Doctor and the Brigadier into Nazi Germany so they could get hold of a DNA sample for Hitler (so they could find out whether someone in the 1990s was actually Hitler's son, or a clone, or just an imposter). That's in The Shadow in the Glass.

sigh. I wish they'd separate what happens on screen from what happens in books/comics/video games, etc.

Great clips. Can't wait.

As long as there's no specific reference or necessary information from another medium involved in understanding the tv story it doesn't bother me at all. In this case, the notion that Churchill and the Doctor know one another is just another amusing and offhand example of how nearly omnipresent the Doctor is - it never even occurred to me to wonder whether their prior encounters were part of continuity.

 

[David cgc]

I am a little interested in if and how they'll handle their prior meetings. A sly reference to one of those existing novels? An off-hand throwaway implying a wild an insane adventure in the vein of, "a thing. Well, four things. Well, four things and a lizard," or "named a galaxy 'Allison.'" Just having Churchill say that it's obviously him because he still has the haircut of an idiot?

Why?

Well, the whole "I could take it" bit seems to hint at a recurring conversation between them, for what that's worth?

 

[Kibbin]

For all those in the Jack thread complaining about not enough timey wimey, how about if the doctor hasn't met Churchill yet?
Amy: So how did you meet Churchill?
Doctor: Don't know.
Amy: You forgot?
Doctor: No I haven't done it yet. Time machine remember

 

[Asbo Zaprudder]

Maybe Churchill accidentally walked into the path of Edward Cantasano's car when he saw the tenth Doctor on the other side of the street in New York in December 1931. Ah no, Daleks in Manhattan took place in November 1930. Ah well, Churchill was certainly no Edith Keeler.
