RTD's top ten moments of the New Series!

RTD speaks to The Times as to his favourite Doctor Who moments of his tenure. I've included a couple of excerpts below. Read the article for the whole deal!


7 “Don’t blink — don’t even blink.” Blink (2007)

Right! We should stick with the Moffat theme, and at the same time, it’s about time we nominated a monster, so The Weeping Angels. Gott in Himmel. Monsters who can’t move; aliens who move when you’re not looking; statues that are alive. That’s actually three good ideas jammed into one. Steven always said, that idea’s so good you could make a whole movie out of it. It could’ve been a massive international franchise all on its own — but he gave it to Doctor Who. The fool.

3 “I think you need a Doctor”, The Parting of the Waves (2005)

Rose has accidentally got the entire power of the Tardis stuck in her head, is losing her mind, and can be saved only by a diagnosis (“You need a doctor”) and treatment (their first kiss) from Chris Eccleston. This is the perversity of DoctorWho — you can clash styles like a hooligan. This show ram- raids genres. Because that’s a great big chunk of An Officer and a Gentleman- style dialogue rammed into the middle of an enormous Dalek invasion of Earth! Not a natural mix, but exciting! Oh I love Doctor Who, I LOVE IT.

A preview of a one hour radio special between Davis and Tennant is available to listen to on the official Doctor Who Website. Here's their blurb:

Russell and David give a unique insiders' point of view about their hugely successful time on the show, discussing the adventures they created and the stories they were asked to make but didn't... They reflect on why they've chosen to move on and look ahead to the future - both their own and that of Doctor Who.

It's a fascinating and entertaining show and to give you a taster we've an exclusive extract. Who on Who? was produced by Malcolm Prince (pictured in one of the images above) who previously produced Project: Who?

RTD speaks of End of Time and Spoilers!

Russell T Davies is again - this time speaking about his last ever episode and SPOILERS!

Question is, is he speaking directly to us?

"He added: “We do like keeping secrets. You should always watch it without knowing what’s going to happen and watch it unfold, brand new in front of you,” he says.

“My favourite moment on the job is when a new script arrives and I get to read it, turning the pages and experiencing it for the first time ever. And it should be like that for the audience.

“If you want to go online and look for all the spoilers then go ahead, but I know for a fact you are depriving yourself of enjoyment, which I think says a lot about the online experience. It ruins it when you know too much."
