    when matt leaves and he is on his 12th life probably he goes back in time and saves a timelord from the time war and he grants the doctor more lifes that would be AWESOME!!!!!

    I reckon River Song is the Doctor’s wife because she knows how to fly the tardis, use a sonic screwdriver, she can write gallifreyan letters and people call her Doctor Song.. I could be wrong but it is a possibility and it might be true you never know with doctor who.
    Oh and DOCTOR WHO IS BLOODY AMAZING.. I LOVE IT SO MUCH I CAN’T BELIEVE SERIES 5 IS OVER… I MISS IT SO MUCH BUT THEN THERE IS STILL SJA AND THE CHRISTMAS SPEICAL THEN SERIES 6. woohooo :)

    I have heard RUMORS that matt smith will leave soon (less than a year) to break into the movie indist. The source Supposedly comes from HIS friends. If he leaves, it throws the whole series off! This will ruin everything!!!! I hope that its just a rumor. Not only will it ruin it for the fans–but for the other dr.who staff–writers—directors–supporting cast. ETC. This will cause the dr. who show to come to a finishing hault sooner than it should. I read that the doctor could regenerate 13 times ..after that its good bye to the longest running scifi tv show. It was such a disappointment when the doctor before David Tennet up and left so soon. Please be a rumor!

    I think that matt smith, karen gillan, authur darvill and steven moffatt have made this series more alive i loved the cliffanger and hope to see more soon. one other mystery though… who is river song? and who does she kill? could it be the doctor? find out in series 6 hopefully haha x keep up the good work doctor who producers

    @The Last Warrior moffat has said that the 13 life’s thing does not apply any more because dr whos a hit


  18. Posted by: Mallo July 4th, 2010 Reply

    No. Afraid not. He has regenerated TEN times. He confirmed to Craig he is the 11th. Regenerating into the hand is just a crappy RTD cop out and therefore, does not count.

    :( Dr who has ended, but hey at least it’ll back back for xmas and the new year (2011), that’s VERY good, but 6 months till the new series, and 14 months till new series. :) I’ve turned my frown upside down!


  20. Posted by: The Last Warrior July 1st, 2010 Reply

    the voice has to be davros…..


  21. Posted by: Anonymous July 1st, 2010 Reply

    i think the voice from the tardis is omega. He is a very important character in dr who and is the only person that i can think of that can control time itself.


  22. Posted by: The Last Warrior July 1st, 2010 Reply

    im into acting aswell
    i dont think he has regenerated 12 times, hes only regenerated 11 times, plus if the fake 10th doctor regeneration counted then the next regeneration will be his last
    i dont want it to end but there comes a point when it will have to
    imagine the last ever episode of Doctor Who, quite sumthin…..


  23. Posted by: Amy + Rory = Love July 1st, 2010 Reply

    Ah but the Doctor’s already regenerated 12 times because David Tennant regenerated into his hand. If he regenerated into a Woman there’s a chance it could be River Song?? Nah, probably not. But it must be possible to regenerate into a Woman because The Doctor pats himself down after to see what’s there… ;)
    It would be a bit weird wouldn’t it though? They would call it ‘ Nurse Who!’ Hmmm… But I want Doctor Who to last forever! (Impossible :( I want to be the assistant I love acting!
    Also, The Big Bang was such a beautiful episode and Steven Moffat is a brilliant writer.

    Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue..

    @booboo
    i do remember SM saying that the 13 lives rule would be explained
    but i think they should end it after 13 cos, doctor who will have to end sumwhere along the line
    another thing thats been confusing me is the fake 10th doctor regeneration in the stolen earth/journeys end, cos does that actually count as a regeneration?


  25. Posted by: booboo June 30th, 2010 Reply

    i thought they were going to address the 13 lives rule in one of the episodes.

    they will find a way around it. i dont think it will end at 13.


  26. Posted by: The Last Warrior June 29th, 2010 Reply

    sorry, this is a bit off topic but, well we r now in the 11th incarnation of the doctor and as any smart whovian knows a time lord can only regenerate 12 times, so i just wanted to hear peoples thoughts on whether Dr Who should end after this?


  27. Posted by: The Last Warrior June 29th, 2010 Reply

    @hayden

    the thing about him turning in2 a girl, i read that on Dr Who rumours page, they said the exact same about the 2008 xmas special , so its probably not true

    SaME DR WHO HAS ENDED now :( but the new season will start soon! :) !

    I thought that when David Tennant left, I thought that Matt Smith wouldn’t be brilliant, at first, when he first did his debut episode, I thought he was a bit cokoo, but that’s due to the regenerative engery, building up in his body. “This years christmas episode will be the most christmasy one yet!” said Steven Moffat, when asked about the aftermath of series 5, on a interview.
    I’d give 2010 dr who, a thumbs up! 10/111110 for me! :)
    SJA episode titles have been reaveled, (on this site), and Luke Smith will leave the series, seen on photos on utube.
    Rory was never erased because the “cracks” closed, so now the “Auton Rory” never existed because the Alliance was never formed. Amy FINALLY got married, I think the Doctor kind of parked the TARDIS, badly at first in the wedding reception, but then moved it to Amy’s house.
    If the Doctor is real, I’d tell him,”You, cannot DANCE!” Series 6, should be outstanding for audiences across the UK, but whose voice was it in the TARDIS, saying, “Silence will fall”, many have speculated that it may be the Dream Lord, or the Valeyard (from the classic series).
    It was rumored Omega would appear in this years finale, (he was an evil guy who could make himself look like other people, who was in the classic series, oldies time).

    See you later!

    They haven’t filmed the 2010 christmas thing yet, (that is why there was no next time trailer), the series this year was amazing. For the 2011 series Rory williams will have a ‘much bigger role’ says head writer Steven Moffat. Karen Gillan is returning for the new series which I hope will make the show better, because without her the show isn’t the same. Matt Smith will be in next year’s dr who series too, which means this is the first time in the revied dr who series where the main cast don’t leave.

    River Song will return because she said, “But I’m but that’s when Everything Changes” She’ll be in series 6 and we’ll find out who River Song really is!

    well done matt, karen, and stephen moffat for the story lines the plots fantastic i hope the christmas specal and next years episodes are just as fantastic well done everyone at bbc wales

    The Doctor will not die in SJA, Stephen Moffat owns The Doctor in his writing. It is Russell T. Davies who writes SJA and he is not allowed to kill him off SJA otherwise his disappearance off Doctor Who will be a wonder, however he can kill off Sarah Jane and he probably will one day in a different series.

    The Big Bang ended up a great way to end the season. Well done, Matt, Karren, etc. etc!


  38. Posted by: RedBlu June 27th, 2010 Reply

    Absolutely fantastic, the timey wimey stuff was just on the right side of complex but still perfectly easy to follow. Well paced, great characterisation, brilliant ending, and the stone dalek was awesome.

    Well done team Moff!

  41. Posted by: Dalek eyestalks are cool June 27th, 2010 Reply

    A perfect way to end the series a true fairy tail ending too bad the doctor could’nt keep his mop and hat they rather suited him


  42. Posted by: Callum Metcalfe June 27th, 2010 Reply

    I bet because they usually have 3 or 4 returning enemies they’ll be:

    Daleks

    Yeti

    Sontarans

    Clockwork Robots

    lots of my friends saw this on recorded tv/ iplayer – again i nearly missed this ep but made it home at time, 15 mins before the airing.


  46. Posted by: Callum Metcalfe June 27th, 2010 Reply

    River Song back in series 6 and aswell the cracks are back


  47. Posted by: IWasBored! June 27th, 2010 Reply

    The TARDIS family is reunited! You know, I forgot to say “YOU JAMMY DODGER” when I watched The Big Bang on iPlayer today, so I’ll say it now.

    YOU JAMMY DODGER!

    So, new adventures lie in store for the family, once fianceè, fianceè and pilot, now husband, wife and pilot! I’m sure “The Big Bang” (or “The Big Bang 2″) satisfied the hunger of many fans. Now all we’ve got to know is how River and the Doctor got married, and how River killed the Doctor…


  48. Posted by: Andrew Hall June 27th, 2010 Reply

    After last weeks episode, I had high hopes. Boy, what a dissapointment. It was no Doomsday or The End Of Time, thats for sure. Too confusing and didnt make any sense. What a let down. Im a life long fan but if I didnt understand it, how is Joe Public going to follow it for a whole hour. Shame Amy and Rory werent killed off. Find the both of them annoying now. Amy is certainly one of the worst companions and shouts non stop. I do like Matt but maybe the season arcs should be scrapped and just go back to normal non-linking stories because this crack in time/silence will fall was a total let down. Bring back RTD. Moffat is not up to scratch. Season 6 has got to improve…


  49. Posted by: Callum Metcalfe June 27th, 2010 Reply

    For Amy and Rory was The Pandorica Opens/Big Bang real or was it just all the series


  50. Posted by: Callum Metcalfe June 27th, 2010 Reply

    It’s because of the world cup probably


  51. Posted by: dylan June 27th, 2010 Reply

    The viewing figures should be up alot by the end of the week. But the reason that the OVERNIGHT figures are 5.1 million is because people have iplayer and they can just record it. But seeing as this is series 1 / series 5, its just like series 1 with Christopher eleceston but the viewing figures are higher for this series. :D I love doctor who!!!

    river song secret will be revealed in series 6


  53. Posted by: Joe June 27th, 2010 Reply

    Shame series 5 is over :( matt will be in that wedding outfit just for the xmas special and in series 6 apparently, hes getting a slightly different costume.


  54. Posted by: fezes are cool June 27th, 2010 Reply

    im really sad its the end of season 5 :sad: one more thing i hoep to god the that wed out fit in the Christmas ep shame we didnt see a next time
