Straight from Moffat: 2010 is Series 11.1

[Starbreaker]

I'm gonna call it 47.

 

[cardinal biggles]

I'm gonna call it irresponsible... call it unreliable. Throw in undependable, too.

 

[Bacl]

.....who really gives a fuck either way?

Ding-ding-ding! We have a winner!

 

[ITL]

I shall call it "Brian".

Brian 1
Brian 2
Brian 3
Brian the 4th (just for a bit of variety)
Brian 5
Brian 6
Dorothy
Brian 8
Brian 9
Brian 10
Brian 11
Brian 12
Brian Last

An easy to understand and very nearly logical system, I'm sure you'll agree.

 

[Haggis and tatties]

I shall call it the flubber series, because the new costume reminds me of the professor from the flubber movies, the old black and white ones.

So Dr who the flubber years season 5.

 

[Count Zero]

So Dr who the flubber years season 5.

Shouldn't it be The Flubber Years Season 1, then?

 

[The Wormhole]

I approve since it lacks any leading zeroes.

JJ Abrams could learn a thing or two from Steven Moffat.

Wow. You're just obsessed with that one thing, aren't you?

Yes. Yes I am.

Shouldn't it be The Flubber Years Season 1, then?

I thought that as well, but as i was writing the post i received a message from the spirit of William Hartnell that its season 5....and as everybody knows Who canon acknowledges messages from the other side.

 

[O'Dib]

Season 900

 

[Mr Awe]

Moffat was talking this evening at the International Screenwriters' Festival in Cheltenham and was asked why next year's Series was being called Series 1 and his reply was that the Marketing people wanted it changed and told him it could either be Series 1 or Series 31 and he picked 1. And then the next time he talked to them it had become Series 11.1

But he added that really it'll always just be "the new series" and people should call it whatever they want.

I don't even get the limit to those choices? Why not 5. Although my choice would've been 31 for sure.

I was thinking of it as 11.1 already.

Having a series 5 in year 6 is just as confusing. Besides if Torchwood season 3 can just have 5 episodes, why can't 5 specials be the fifth series?

 

[The Mirrorball Man]

Obviously we're already seeing some radical changes. When RTD was in charge, no one would have even entertained the thought of starting a thread with the word "straight".

Haha! That's a good one! Because RTD's gay, isn't he? Very amusing!

To be honest, I was expecting it to be series 5. I didn't think Moffat/Smith was going to be the radical departure it's being made out to be. After all, Moffat's written a lot for the show already. Though calling it 11.1, does that mean we'll get another Doctor who won't stay for more than 10 seasons?

 

[GabeHimself]

Anyone remember in Season 4.2 when the Doctor fought the Krynoid?? Although, that doesn't hold a stitch to 3.5's return of everyone's favorite gay civil servant Alpha Centauri.

By the way do you guys prefer Lola McGovern to Biddy?



Doctor Who has been on for 50 years. I mean they make documentaries on a *story* basis. I actually do like 11.1 numerology instead of talking about Davison's Season 27.

No Doctor has ever stayed for more than 7 years, and I can see no reason for wanting one to hang around for 10 never mind more.

 

[wamdue]

yes there is no way Smith will last 10 years

 

[Meredith]

ATTENTION EVERYONE!

Wibbley Wobbly, Timey Wimey

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Countdown to Jim Steele's head exploding...

 

[wamdue]

Countdown to Jim Steele's head exploding...

couldnt resist

you guys know what comes next

 

[Phillip Culley]

We should call it 'Beyond the Sun', since they've always been trying to use it

And to follow on from Wamdue (apologies for the small size)...

And I have ones for all 5 of them
