Fourth Doctor Vs Twelfth Doctor : The Elixir Can Aid Time Lords In What?

Reprising the role unlike his predecessors patrick troughton and jon pertwee or his successors peter davison, colin baker, sylvester mccoy and paul mcgann, tom baker was notoriously hesitant to reprise the role of the doctor. originally intended as a major player in the 20th-anniversary special, the five doctors, baker pulled out before production began, citing other obligations as his reasoning. the production team rewrote the scripts to give much of his role to the fifth doctor, and included the fourth doctor by making use of unbroadcast footage from shada.

Great actors, matt smith and jenna coleman. 10/10. brilliant.it's a shame the bbc decided to perpetuate the doctor's character forever rather than give him a hero's end and face his mortality.

The doctor and sarah find themselves (apparently) back on earth, in the village of devesham, not far from a unit base. this serial, in fact, marked the last occasion on which unit was to feature during tom baker's tenure as the doctor and the last appearance of sergeant benton. ian marter made a one-off guest appearance as harry sullivan, who had been one of the doctor's companions during the previous season.

And so we reach the end of another dr who series and with it, bar a one-off christmas special apparently reuniting this twelfth doc with his first self, peter capaldi's tenure in the role. i've enjoyed this latest series very much, due in no small part to the chemistry between capaldi and new girl pearl mackie as bill potts. i'm not keen on matt lucas or his character nardole but it was a delight to see the return of john simm as the master and michelle gomez as missy.told over two episodes scripted by show-runner steven moffat, unsurprisingly this was a deeper, timey-wimey story than usual involving an impossibly large spaceship with a multitude of differing time-zones, the return of my favourite of the doctor's enemies, the cybermen and a doctor striving to avoid his inevitable regeneration.bill's assimilation into an early version of a cybermen was cleverly shown as she portrayed her true self alongside her transformed self whilst her rescue by the water-girl from the first episode made for a neat circular finish to what has been an entertaining series, taking in as it has several excellent episodes like that involving the nano-bots, the terror under the thames, the mystery of the lost roman 9th legion and the return of the ice warriors.not as light or as flashy as some of the earlier episodes, this one took more concentration than usual but repaid its greater demands on the viewer.

For over a year now, when we first learned that matt smith would soon be leaving doctor who and that scottish actor peter capaldi would be his replacement, fans have been waiting to see a new doctor in action. with the series eight premiere episode deep breath, that wish has been granted. so does capaldi's twelfth doctor live up to expectations and what about the episode itself?much of the attention being focused on the episode was in regards to capaldi's new doctor.
