I can't believe I didn't post in that thread.
It's amazing how far Doctor Who has come on this message board in two years.

To celebrate, I am wearing my Tom Baker-esque scarf, and have Matt Smith-esque hair and look.
The latter is permanent, mind.

I would start at Series 1 honestly. Series 2 was better, but a lot of what was happening would be quite odd without knowing all that happened in Series 1, especially the last scene of the Series 2 finale.Mr. Sam said:
I was pleasantly surprised with Being Human. It looked like a cheesy sitcom cashing in on the Twilight craze in the previews, but upon watching it I found it quite good and surprising. And Series 2 was much better. The first Series is only 6 episodes, so it isn't too huge of a set back to watch it. Series 2 is only 8 episodes.
As for the Dark Horizons article that was linked, reading what the Neil Gaiman episode is about makes me wonder
if there is the remote possibility that we will see Death herself in the episode.

That was great.DoctorWho said:
Just rewatched "The Eleventh Hour." Yeah, Series 5 kicked ass. I liked Eccelston and loved Tennant, but Moffatt at the helm and the great chemistry with Smith and Gillan makes Series 5 the best of the new Who by far.
My now unabashed love of Moffatt is making me want to go back and try Jekyll again. Is it worth it?

Just wait until you get to "Blink." Still the best episode of the new Who.Gamer @ Heart said:

Doctor Dances is fantastic, but Blink is brilliant. It may not have much of the Doctor, but it is structured brilliantly and scary as hell to boot. Just a perfect episode, and turned on my unabashed love for Moffatt. After Blink, I went back and paid attention to all the episodes he wrote and realized all his stuff was awesome.Mr. Sam said:

We've got a trio of very interesting hints about the upcoming series, two of which are even decently likely to be true. First up, Cybermen are reportedly being prepped for a return apperance - only not the Cybus imitators of the new series, but the original Mondasian bruisers of the classic series. (Yes, that's what I call them.) The specific post claims the Cybermen are being brought back "mummified" and that may well fit in with the heavily rumored Egypt-set episode, which also may or may not feature Howard Carter. Steven Thompson, who wrote the middle episode of Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss's new Sherlock series, is reportedly writing the story, which may be either a one- or two-parter. Take this all with a generous grain of salt. [Life, the Universe, and Combom and Doctor Who Spoilers]
The next bit involves the opening, America-set two-parter written by Steven Moffat. This first episode reportedly involves an appearance by a future Doctor - not a future incarnation of the Doctor, mind, but a future 11th Doctor like the ones that show up in last series's "Flesh and Stone" and "The Big Bang." This reportedly involves the craziest timey-wimey stuff yet, and Amy learns something about the Doctor's future that River Song begs her to keep quiet. This might all play into earlier hints from Steven Moffat about Amy having a big secret and episode seven revealing "the true nature of [The Doctor's] relationship with Amy Pond." Take this one with a reasonably optimistic grain of salt.
Finally, let's go a little crazy. There's another rumor that, in the first episode, we see giant snakes emerge from a lake. Now, there are also photos of both River Song and Amy sporting weird marks on their arms. Taken together, some have speculated we could see an appearance from the Mara, a villain that appeared twice in the early 1980s. The Mara is a sort of incarnation of human desire and darkness, which takes the form of a snake and controls people through tattoos on their arms. There are some problems with this theory - beyond the fact that there's only a single unsubstantiated report to go on when it comes to there being snakes in the first place, there's the fact that River and Amy's marks look nothing like the snake tattoos Tegan sported in "Kinda" and "Snakedance." Also, executive producer Piers Wenger specifically pointed to this story as an example of the series preferring to create new monsters than bring back old ones. So, all things considered...take this one a highly dubious grain of salt.

It's all re-cycled from the doctor who forum, from posters of various reliability.
The
episode has been rumored for some time. The
bit comes from a "my mate's mate who I met down the pub" rumor.
The second paragraph is the more likely,
. The bit about the
is lol worthy.

The second paragraph is the more likely,

The second paragraph about
all the wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff gives me a geek woody. I LOVE when they get all crazy with the crossing over of time lines and whatnot like they did with Big Bang

This is weird, this guy's CV says he's directing a "a one off Special of the popular series [Doctor Who] to be broadcast over the Easter weekend 2011". 60 mins long, written by Moffat.
Could be the first episode, but thats a two parter.

In order to have

Need your help. Could someone with the DVD or BR of series 5 get me a nice screen grab of a good shot of the spitfires attacking the Daleks. I have to give a presentation about piston engines in aircraft, and want to make a Doctor Who joke .
