Doctor Who
Doctor Who: The Shooting Scripts | Russell T. Davies
31 posts | 3 read | 1 reading | 6 to read
On the 26th of March 2005, Doctor Who returned to our screens after an absence of 16 years, with a new Doctor, a new assistant and thirteen thrilling new adventures. This book collects together the entire shooting scripts for the first series. Seven of the scripts are by Russell T Davies, with the remainder by Steven Moffat, Robert Shearman, Paul Cornell and The League of Gentlemen's Mark Gatiss. Each story contains the essential ingredients of time travel, adventure, and the mixing of the ordinary with the fantastical that have always characterized the series, while at the same time being thoroughly in tune with contemporary culture and society. This is a Doctor Who for an age defined by irony, technology and celebrity, and the shadow cast by 9/11. It is also cinematic, with fast cutting and special effects that will satisfy viewers brought up on contemporary film and television sci-fi. The shooting scripts give a unique insight into how the first series was visualized and acted. Alongside the exciting action sequences and dialogue are hints about the characters' emotions, and evocations of the settings in which their adventures take place. Pacey, atmospheric and thoroughly absorbing, these scripts practically read like novels. Each of the scripts is illustrated with full-colour screen grabs, ensuring the book appeals to broad audience. Introductions by the writers explain the inspirations for the first series and the fascinating process of creating a Doctor Who script. As the one book that ties directly into the first series, this is a must-have self-purchase or gift for all Doctor Who fans.

I know this isn't book related but I know my Litsy family will be okay with that!! This is EVERYTHING!!! The first female Doctor Who and Jodie is an amazing actress!

Congratulations to our new Doctor Who, Jodie Whittaker! It is fitting that Chibnall approached an actor he'd worked with on Broadchurch to step into the Doctor's shoes as he steps into Steven's. I look forward to meeting her at Christmas!

sprainedbrain I'm super excited about this! 7y
susanw Very excited for this! New doctor, new show runner, and new companion, should be interesting! 7y
TrishB 👍👍 7y

rabbitprincess @sprainedbrain @susanw @TrishB Her Broadchurch performance assures me that she can do the world-weary 2000-year-old Time Lord thing. And she is different enough from P-Cap that the transition will be easier. I had a harder time with David to Matt because they seemed too similar at first (and that was the first regeneration I'd witnessed, having started my Dr Who adventures with season 2 of the new series). 7y
rabbitprincess Mostly I'm glad they didn't do something gimmicky and stupid like having P-Cap regenerate into Clara 😳😱😠😤💩💀👎🏻🙅🏻 7y
Liatrek I'm excited but I confess I wish they had went ginger lol 😊 7y
Melissa_J I saw this news and immediately thought of you 😊 7y
Laura317 I'm excited by this! I've not seen her in Broadchurch, but saw a clip of her in Antigone. I hope she'll be brilliant! 7y
rabbitprincess @Liatrek She could always dye her hair! 😉 @Melissa_J 😊 It is nice to be thought of! Can't wait to see what her character will be like. 7y
rabbitprincess @Laura317 I have faith that she will. As fiercely as I love Peter Capaldi, I'm determined not to be unfair to his successor 😉 7y
PandaPanda Really excited about this!! 7y
rabbitprincess @PandaPanda Should be good! Hm I wonder if she'd make an appearance at the Doctor Who Experience to coincide with my visit there in Sep 😜 7y
PandaPanda @rabbitprincess oh so jealous! I'm going to England next week but I'm pretty sure no one will be up for a drive to Cardiff except me... 7y
rabbitprincess @PandaPanda If you have any Sherlock fans in your group, you could convince them to check out the filming locations in Newport (which is kind of near Cardiff) while you visit the Experience 😉 (edited) 7y

The little Funkos are a-quiver with anticipation. Sunday after the Wimbledon men's final, we'll know who the next Doctor is. 😬
(I need a nail-biting emoji.)

VioletBramble So soon? I don't want Capaldi to leave. 7y
Laura317 I bet we won't get to see it in the States. Hopefully we will get to see it sometime after. 7y
rabbitprincess @VioletBramble He followed the Troughton and Davison school of "three years and out". I will miss him terribly ? @Laura317 I'm tempted to stay off the Internet all afternoon and wait for calmer, more thorough coverage than the initial social media frenzy. 7y

If #AliensExist I hope they are like the ones on Doctor Who. To make this more book related, here is a list of books for fans of the show. I've read a few of these and want to check out others. http://ew.com/books/books-doctor-who-fans

#90sinJuly @Cinfhen @Robothugs

Robothugs The books are lovely 😊 7y
Mariposa_Bookworm Thanks for the list! I love both Ten and Eleven! 7y
MallenNC @Mariposa_Bookworm Me too. David Tennant will always be my favorite but Matt Smith won me over. Interested to see where the character goes next. 7y
Mariposa_Bookworm @MallenNC I haven't seen the new series yet with the new companion Bill. I like Capaldi well enough to miss him when he leaves. 7y
MallenNC @Mariposa_Bookworm I like him too. I liked him as the villain in The Three Musketeers. I liked the latest series, especially the episode that introduced Bill. 7y

Twelve and I are preparing to catch up on last night's Doctor Who, which I had to record because my BF and I were out. The shirt is from Ottawa ComicCon and has the same slogan as my hand-stencilled shirt that I wore in my photo with Peter Capaldi 😍

Faibka Awesome! 😍 7y
Laura317 I'm going to miss Capaldi... 7y

Wild Saturday night for me...Doctor Who, margs and cheesecake!
I am in a book rut. Haven't read in over a week or really been on Litsy. I don't know if I have hangover from ACOWAR or if I am just overextended with the kids and end of the school year. But I have caught up on all my shows. Maybe I will feel like reading next week when school gets out?

andreadmw It happens. I find moving to comics or audiobooks snaps me out of a rut, or just let the rut happen. ❤️ 7y
Hollie That cheesecake looks delicious! 7y
sammisho @hollie I told my husband I needed treats for tonight, he came home with Cheesecake, margarita mix and a giant jar of pickles 😂😂😂I passed on the pickles!@andreamw Usually romance novels does the trick, not working this time. but I am all caught up on my shows! 7y
Hollie @sammisho I'm going to have to look into getting one of those if they bring you cheesecake and margaritas! 7y

Just when I thought I couldn't love Doctor Who any more than I already do, DAVID SUCHET gets a guest role! 😍

This isn't the first time that Peter Capaldi and David Suchet have worked together. Peter was Mr Vladimir to David's Verloc in The Secret Agent, while David's Poirot suspected Peter's Claude Langton of murder in Wasps' Nest.

LauraBrook He was on Who? Awesome!!!! I still need to catch up, but I love both of these guys. 🤘🏼 7y
Dragon That's who he was ! I kept thinking he looked familiar 👍thanks for posting that information 👍📚🐉 7y
rabbitprincess @LauraBrook Yes, he was on tonight's episode 😄 @Dragon He has a distinctive face, even without the Poirot moustache 😊 7y

#ReadJanuary Day 9: #ReadingEquipment

👓Bookmarks: I've been collecting them since I was about 8. No idea how many I have currently but certainly approaching 100. Spy the Doctor Who one.

👓Journals. I journal generally and include book thoughts therein. Also special HP journal.

👓Many colored pens for journals.

👓Earbuds for audio.

👓Flags for quotations.

👓iPad for travel, OverDrive and Hoopla.

👓Hot beverage 🍫

monkeygirlsmama Looks perfect. 😊Never heard of Hoopla. Is this another reading app, I take it? 7y
Loretta @monkeygirlsmama It does books (print and audio), movies and music, all borrowed from the library. It sometimes has what OverDrive doesn't, and vice versa. 7y

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! I spent Christmas Eve with my older brother's family - opened presents with the kiddos and watched them go nuts all hyped up on sugar. 😆After exchanging presents with my parents and taking the dogs on a walk to the river this morning, this is my idea of a relaxing Christmas Day afternoon: Doctor Who marathon, crocheting/knitting, snuggly dogs, yummy snacks and deciding which book to start later. ❤

I haven't ever read any #steampunk and the closest thing I've experienced are Doctor Who episodes that have some steampunk elements. My favorite of those is The Girl in the Fireplace. So I'm sharing this 50th anniversary book (shown -- it's not in the system.)

I do need to read a book of this type in next year's reading challenge so I'm hoping others have good suggestions in today's #seasonsreadings2016

brennahawleycraig Girl in the Fireplace is my favorite too!! The history episodes are always my favorite, and the clock things are just so creepy. 7y
MallenNC @brennahawleycraig I love The Girl in the Fireplace! The first time I watched it I thought the reason the clock guys wanted the "girl" was such a good twist. 7y
