Fenriswolf Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=0&id=37608 A spin off too far, damn right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybrick Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I would have watched it. Don't have an opinion either way, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mrthumps Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Maybe he'll change his mind and bring it back one day. I'd rather not see a series made then see a crappy series put out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I suppose it could have worked - she'd have worked at the Torchwood place in the paralel universe but it'd have been too like the Torchwood series i think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenriswolf Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 I think having Torchwood at the moment is enough, but that's just me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antilles Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Nope, me too. I think they were moving into overkill with that idea. Perhaps Big Finish might do something with it or the novels, I could accept that! But yeah, glad its scrapped from TV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyperion Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 It would've been insulting. The depressing farewell, the tearful soulless, DEAD eyes, the 'oh my life's not worth living now the Doctor's gone forever'... Glad it won't be made. Would've probably sucked without Daleks and Cybermen. Methinks the BBC controller is trying to sell more Who. How about using that money to get McGann back to do a few specials on the Time War or another Dalek-based episode. Show how the Daleks went all bling with Gold and such. That'd be worth seeing.

Tenebrae Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Yeah, McGann could come back - I don't exactly see him struggling to fit it into his schedule. But yes, thanks the gods that they didn't make this... just the title sounds so unbelievably lame that I couldn't possibly countenance it being anything but Billy Piper being annoying and certainly Vyperion is right when he says that it would have pretty much ruined the emotional farewell.

andipandi3 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 absolutely not necessary. If piper were to stay on, she should have stayed on, none of this spinoff business. Maybe she can do a guest on Torchwood or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstalker Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I liked Piper/Rose and probably would have watched but I agree that it would have cheapened the ending of Doomsday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypha01 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I agree with the comments about Mcgann, if they want to do TV-movie specials each year, do Mcgann ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyperion Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Yeah' date=' McGann could come back - I don't exactly see him struggling to fit it into his schedule.[/quote']Actually he's been surprisingly busy with TV dramas and theatre tours. I recently saw him in a Wycliffe episode (might have been Midosmer Murders). But yes' date=' thanks the gods that they didn't make this... just the title sounds so unbelievably lame that I couldn't possibly countenance it being anything but Billy Piper being annoying and certainly Vyperion is right when he says that it would have pretty much ruined the emotional farewell.[/quote']Yay, someone else said I was right! I feel validated :cyclops: I agree with the comments about McGann' date=' if they want to do TV-movie specials each year, do Mcgann ones...[/quote']He got the short end of the stick, mainly for the politics surrounding his performance of the Doctor on the TV movie. He's appraently been a great doctor for the Big Finish series and feel it would be fantastic to see him on-screen again (redecorating, perhaps?).
