Is the Christmas one the last one? I mean is that the regeneration one?

There are two over the Christmas period.

Oh, dear. It seems the Doctor has finally gone off the deep end. He's on the slippery slope the Time Lords were once on (referring back to the Dark Time mentioned in The Five Doctors), before Rassilon sorted them out. And there is literally no-one to stop him...except perhaps the Master.

Imagine that, if the Master ended up saving the Universe from the Doctor!

Perhaps we'll find out who retrieved the Master's ring from his funeral pyre - though I strongly suspect it was his wife, Lucy. A while back I had an idea for a story in which the Master planned for his own death, anticipating that the Doctor would take him prisoner, and hatching a plan to escape him by hiding a copy of his memories (greatly compressed, of course, bearing in mind what happened to poor Donna) in Lucy's mind, without her knowledge, and compelling her to kill him at the right time, then retrieve the ring (which contains a copy of the Master's bio-print, so he could be cloned). Remember the look on her face? She looked lost, distracted, as if she didn't know what she was doing. At that point, I thought "Hmmm..." and started scribbling. Not that I've got anywhere with it since; life keeps getting in the way.

So if that's what the writers do to bring him back in The End of Time, remember: you heard it here first!

Its one story in two parts, and yes, they are DT's last, so regeneration.

Son of A!!

I missed it! Iplayer?

If not anyone got a good link

Found it http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...aters_of_Mars/

for anyone who wants to see again

Edit: Brilliant Episode. Maybe one of the best Dr Who episodes in History

Also think I worked the End out.. He thought he could change the laws but the End where she shot herself Proved he couldnt

I believe its stupid how they advertised The New Doctor so early.. I mean in these Teasers and Trailers (Tennant) the doctor says he's going to die.. Obviously he does'nt because we know the next actor but it would have been more fun not knowing and thinking there was a possibility he could actually die.

[MetaWraith]

It is repeated tonight on BBC-3

[adzii_nufc]

If i may ask does anyone have a site where i can watch past Dr Who Episodes Like Most of the Tennant and Eccleston Era

Thanks

The only place you can see any of it legally is on BBC iPlayer. Discussion of the alternatives is not allowed.

there is always www.buyitondvdfromtescosorplayoramazon.com

I'm sorry I had not realised watching something we are forced to pay for on tv even if we dont watch it is illegal to watch online :P

Of course im talking about a TV licence

But Forums rules are forum rules... Im cursing the BBC not the forum lol

If the Iplayer had a Library of Dr who Ep's im sure it would get a lot more attention than it does.

I mean BBC Iplayer is just.. stupid to be honest.. All the programs on BBC are rubbish unless your a woman and like soaps..

Iplayer..Fail...Skyplayer! Win

What are you talking about? Most of the BBC content ends up on iplayer from the last 7 days. iplayer is great. Sometimes there are season catch ups. Iplayer gets a lot of attention so many people use the service either on the site or through the VM on demand service.

However if you watch to see Doctor Who they are usually on Watch Ch124 all the time.

Yah seen most of them on watch but i hate how watch constantly repeat the episodes

[Flyboy]

So what is your problem then? Why do you need to watch them again? If you keep seeing repeated episodes, why do you need to find somewhere, where they show more repeated episodes?
