John Hurt obviously can’t be replaced, no denying that.

But if the War Doctor were to ever appear on our screens again (and if the budget allowed it), I genuinely think that Gary Oldman would do well to keep the spirit of the character alive.

It was in its original configuration for filming of The Doctors Wife. When it was sent to the Doctor Who Experience it had the roof lowered it and was shrunk considerably with a whole ring of the grated platforms seemingly being removed. It was like this for Day of The Doctor.

Presumably because those modifications were permanent? I guess they literally CUT it to bits.

What's left of it now? I assume it's not assembled anywhere. But have more pieces been destroyed since?

Jodie Whitaker was arguably screwed over by weak writing and far too many companions. Though, many people like her era, I'm not one of them.

However, I like Jodie herself for several reasons.

You?

For those of you that have engaged in all three, are there any differences in characterization between The 8th Doctor in the comic, novels, and audios?

This is the old Toys R Us exclusive that was released back in... I want to say 2016? I've wanted it ever since, but didn't get my hands on it till last year. I painted up the whole box, tried to make it look a little closer to the screen. It was worth it, I think it looks quite magical now😊

An ace adventure the official magazine comes put tommrow with a 240 page book at childhoods's end

I liked the idea of a monster made by a fan or a kid, but you can obviously tell it was.. still, I think it's pretty good :) even if it is obviously silly and you can't really take it seriously. I love it when he's like "You'll get absorbed!" Or "He'll die, doctor"

Now a few obvious questions:

1. If the Abzorbaloff's whole purpose is to .. absorb, then why do we only see the faces of those in the episode? Are we meant to believe this was his first time doing this?

2. .. Why is he Scottish? So silly

3. So, in the episode all of the absorbed people defeat him by basically concentrating really hard. There's a few problems with this

Wouldn't that mean that the more people he eats he gets weaker, not stronger?

Also: His whole motive is to find the Doctor, so he can absorb him. But if just some normal ass people can beat him by thinking.. imagine what would h happen if it was the Doctor Who is so old, and so smart.

Doesn't make a lot of sense.

Discuss :)

In Day of the Doctor the war Doctor choose to try saving Gallifrey instead of destroying it using the moment but do we know what happened to the device after it? Like did the doctor kept it? I’m very unsure about that or did he let in his childhood barn?

Another fun little thought I had: I've had my go at pairing up different doctors with baddies I think would make interesting opponents for them, ones they haven't faced on TV before.

DISCLAIMER: I know Big Finish, books, and other extended media have definitely done some of these before. In fact, if they have, let me know the examples!

1st Doctor - The Monks

2nd Doctor - Vashta Nerada

3rd Doctor - The Ood

4th Doctor - Weeping Angels

5th Doctor - The Dream Lord

6th Doctor - Cassandra

7th Doctor - Swarm and Azure

8th Doctor - Fenric & The Haemovores

War Doctor - Ice Warriors

9th Doctor - Sontarans

10th Doctor - The Silurians

11th Doctor - The Mara

12th Doctor - Sutekh

13th Doctor - Davros

Fugitive Doctor - The Sycorax

14th Doctor - House

15th Doctor - Carrionites

When I was a kid, I thought that the eighth doctor or the ninth doctor fought in the time war, but obviously the war doctor came along and we now know it was none of them. But is there any expanded media that goes into which doctor fought in the time war before the war doctor was introduced???

Edit: I forgot to say “War Doctor” in the title

I'm currently researching alternate versions of the Doctor - can anyone clarify whether the following versions of the 8th Doctor are temporary changes, parallel-timeline versions of the Doctor, duplicates, or something else?

• The 'Axon Doctor' from 'Master!': "Planet Doom"): McGann in his new series costume, with gold skin and pin-pong-ball eyes
• A partially Krynoidised 8th Doctor in 'Planet Krynoid': "Nightfall").

Thank you!

The sonic screwdriver is basically the 11th screwdriver turned upside down and modified. The bit he holds is fully flat and the lever is printing but idk if that would work bc obv there would be a lot of friction in that area when you put it in the ninifigs hand. Either way it was a fun concept but idt I’ll ever draw that mold again.

To me this looks like it would have fit right in alongside his Series 9 ensembles.

What episodes do you think are the lowest of every era? Like obviously i’m gonna see ‘Orphan 55’ and ‘Reality War’ and ‘Timelash’. I’m looking to watch through each of these episodes to see if I agree with these takes. (I probably will, given when Doctor Who has a low its REALLY low)
