Episode 3/12
Saturday 6 September
7.30pm to 8.20pm BBC ONE, BBC ONE HD
DOCTOR WHO ONE
September 4th, 2014 - 7:10pmJust learned that a scene from this episode has been edited out before Saturday’s broadcast involving a beheading scene in the story as a mark of respect for the 2 US Journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff who was both recently beheaded by ISIS Jihadists.
I didn’t think Doctor Who would ever do a story featuring any kind of beheading, except maybe ‘The Five Doctors’ when a Cyberman has his head chopped off by the Raston Warrior Robot during that Cyber Massacre in the Death Zone on Gallifrey.

September 4th, 2014 - 7:17pmthey wouldn’t full stop to a “human” character
cut the scene by all-means but I’m not sure the way this is been portraid is necessary

September 6th, 2014 - 8:23amOver the years there have been a few scenes like this with the Doctor “about” to be be beheaded (happened to Peter Davison twice at least) but as booboo says it would never actually happen (in shot) to a humanoid character….it is more off screen implied threat.
Robots have lost their heads a lot though….
It didn’t need the papers to portray it how they have though but that is tabloid journalism for you.

September 6th, 2014 - 6:58pmI wounder if the scene will be on the DVD
THE ERGON
September 4th, 2014 - 11:19amIts all looking a bit Hal the archer with bits of ‘the time warrior’ thrown in with those robots.

September 2nd, 2014 - 9:57pmWhy is the trailer using the theme from the last series, are we being given a chance to say which one we prefer?
DOCTOR WHO ONE
September 3rd, 2014 - 5:09pmYeah, they really need to change the theme from the 2012 version to the modern 2014 version.
David Strachan
September 2nd, 2014 - 3:37pmWith the Doctor constantly insisting that Robin Hood isn’t real, I wonder if the Land of Fiction from Patrick Troughton’s era will be the twist in this story 🙂
Last Goth Standing
September 4th, 2014 - 6:54amThat would be interesting.
THE Silence
September 2nd, 2014 - 1:00pmcant wait till the end of the week but it is worth the whight

Obsie
August 31st, 2014 - 10:36amHow many times now had an arrow been fired and hit the TARDIS? I can only remember three.
Dalek The Supreme
August 31st, 2014 - 3:56amI dunno, it looks like it would work better with the Eleventh Doctor, with it looking like a bright, fun episode, which doesn’t really fit in with the theme of the Twelfth Doctor’s character arc about finding out whether or not he’s a good man, but we’ll see… We’ll see…
Aussie
September 1st, 2014 - 9:35pmYou mean the twelfth and thirteenth doctor, don’t you? 😉
Dalek The Supreme
September 2nd, 2014 - 4:25amNo I don’t. It was all cleared up in The Time of the Doctor. The War Doctor isn’t numbered because he didn’t call himself the Doctor during the Time War, and the Tenth Doctor, due to vanity issues, found a way to regenerate and keep the same face. So Matt Smith IS the Eleventh Doctor.

August 30th, 2014 - 9:37pmEh. This doesn’t look so good. Hopefully it won’t be too bad, like ‘Unicorn and the Wasp’ bad. But, I’m setting the bar low for this one.

August 30th, 2014 - 8:50pmthis looks amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
The Surgeon
August 23rd, 2014 - 11:50amI’m looking forward to Deep Breath today! The Half-Face Man is unsettling, not only because yesterday I was looking at the picture of him in DWM, and I realised there was something wrong with him. And then I figured out that he had three hands!
I think Robot of Sherwood will be absolutely awful. I’m looking most forward to Kill the Moon, Mummy on the Orient Express, Flatline and The Forest of the Night. I’m also glad to see the Cybermen return in Dark Water, although I hope they are better than they were in Nightmare in Silver.
Dalek The Supreme
August 31st, 2014 - 3:58amI don’t see what was so bad about the Cybermen in Nightmare in Silver. They were both a merciless, unstoppable army of silver soldiers and creepy lurking things that would turn you into the living dead throughout the episode.

Clara has it all under control: her life at school, her life in space, her new boyfriend and her mad old Time Lord. Everything is humming along just fine, so long as everybody never actually meets.
And then, one morning, just before assembly, Coal Hill School welcomes a new relief caretaker with a Scottish accent.
With Clara’s world about to explode around her, terrifying events near the school make it clear that the rest of the world is about to do the same. The Skovox Blitzer is ready to destroy all humanity and worse, any second now, Danny Pink and the Doctor are going to meet

In the near future, the Doctor and Clara arrive on a decrepit shuttle making a suicide mission to the Moon. Crashing on the lunar surface, they find a mining base full of eviscerated corpses, spider-like creatures scuttling in the dark, and a terrible dilemma.
When Clara turns to the Doctor for hep she gets the shock of her life. Is the man she has trusted so long really a hero after all? Is he even her friend?

Aboard the most beautiful train in history speeding along the stars of the future, a legend is stalking the passengers. Once you see the Mummy, you have 66 seconds to live. No exceptions, no reprieve.

Because this is their last adventure: it’s time to say goodbye to the Time Lord

August 31st, 2014 - 11:06pmWow, most of these sounds phenomenal! Still not sure about The Caretaker and In The Forest of the Night, but I hope hope HOPE that Mummy in the Orient Express is simply fantastic! I’m excited for Listen, too!

THE ERGON
August 21st, 2014 - 5:58pmWell I loved ‘robin of sherwood’,well the Michael praed version anyway until he regenerated himself into ‘Jason connery.Then I switched off. Mark gatiss says this ended up being more of a romp, so maybe Robin of Sherwood meets maid marion and her merry men but still retaining the sci-fi element with regards to the myth of robin hood.
