Yes and yes, there is a link to the offical vote saxon site through the BBC Doctor Who site. There is also an unofficial one.

Understood your reasons and there will always be 'holes' in the timeline, last time we saw the Master, was the 1999 film McCoy/McCan, and the Doctor was transporting the 'dead' master in the Doctors Tardis, no sign at all throughout that film of the Masters Tardis.

The Master escaped ( a bit snake like) and took on the form off I think a LA PD policeman or someone on a motor bike, he 'sole' that persons life,

Now at the end of that one the Doctor won by the Tardis sucking in the Master into the vortex within the Tardis.

A guess is that when Rose released the powers of the Tardis, she released the Master in current day or Satellite five in the future at the time of the Dalek invasion those powers might have transfered to the Master like Jack.

The Master up to now stole new life's, in the Deadly assassin with Tom Baker he was nearly dead and a burnt out shell, the next one he stole Nysers Dads body.

Now he did regenerate this time, got his powers back?? but unless his Tardis is broke, why steal the Doctors. The Doctor did something to the Tardis with his sonic screwdriver, maybe it will boomerang back, but also he could fix Jacks Vortex manipulator.

Now how did the Master end up where he is well we know he had been there a long time, we do not know but he did the DNA Watch trick to avoid the Time War.

Whilst most things tie up, since the restart there are some gaps which we will never fill.

The Master was sent to Skaro for trial by the Daleks. He was found guilty of his crimes and his remaining life form extracted (slime - not really a snake) and placed in a secure container as a prison for eternity. His lifeforce did escapr from the prison, whether he broke out of the container cracked is another matter. To function he needed a host body so he took control of a paramedic. He has, as you have said, taken a host body on a number of occasions and twice tried to take the Doctor's body, so that he could re-generate.

Now Rose may well have have accidently released the Master, but the Master would still need a body as a host and would still have needed transportation. He did do the "watch" trick, but whether to avoid the timewar for something else is another question. However, to do the "watch" trick he would have needed a TARDIS and once transformed into a human would have completely forgotten anything about Timelords etc. Therefore his TARDIS will be at the location in which he transformed into a human.

I'm just waiting to see how the writers explain it all.

Well it will be all down to RTD, maybe thrown there by the time war, and knowing the T-LORDS were loosing, changed to be Human.

S3: 3.11 - Overnight Ratings
News Dated: 17/6/2007

The overnight ratings are in for Series Three Episode Eleven: Utopia.

3.11: Utopia achieved an overnight rating of 7.3m viewers, with a 36.9% audience share.

Doctor Who was the second most-watched programme for Saturday.

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Just watched it again the Master ( just remembering everything after loosing his professor persona), says he was found as an orphan, with only the watch as a Young boy not knowing who he was.

Sounds simular to the Doctor, and how he survived the Time war.

Hi Everyone.. I've been Really Busy so I've sorta inadvertadly ignored you guys.... Sorry... Wish the Doctor could make all these Exams go away.....

I wonder what Leela's excuse for not posting is....

Something to do with being in another country, perhaps! Been on holiday in Menorca - but am now caught up with my DW viewing!

OMG, OMG, OMG - I LOVED Blink!!!!!!! Perhaps because my expectations were so low, thinking it would be the Peter Kay episode all over again - but this is now officially my favourite DT episode! I was terrified - Matt, you are obviously braver than me! We were in Morrisons and they had these statues for the garden just like the weeping angels - Andy was teasing me about it and I had to walk backwards down the aisle so that I didn't take my eyes off it!

I wasn't so keen on this week's episode, I have to admit. I loved the conversations between the characters, the dialogue was funny, it was lovely to see Jack back and have it explained as to why he is indestructable. However, it really seemed like nothing happened in the episode. I liked the Futurekind, they were pretty scary - reminded me of the reavers from the film Serenity. I found the Master as the old guy scary and convincing - but I didn't like his regenerated self. I thought he was trying to be comical like the Doctor - to me the Master should be more serious and cunning and not concerned with jumping around like he's been let out for the day!

Haven't read everyone else's thoughts yet, so off to do that now.

Thanks, Emperor! Oh well, just me being the odd one out then! Just caught up on comments - we thought that the gang would get out by fixing Jack's "space hopper" watch too - but the other theories are interesting too.

We are also promised a cross-over with Torchwood on Saturday and the write up implies its a bit like Spooks!!!

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

SyFy Portal report that Buffy actor; James Marsters will guest star in Series 2 of Torchwood.

The news is confirmed by his official website, which claims he is currently in Cardiff filming an episode for Series Two of Torchwood.

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Found this report on the Votesaxon site its really good:-

What a glorious night!!! With the last result in, we can settle back in expectation of a new dawn for the UK. The sound of drums will be heard at dawn with a new rhythm for our government. Utopia has been achieved!!!! And in what a manner!! If you'd stop to blink at any point over the past 6 hours you would have missed another 42 seats going Saxon!!! It looks as though every single Tom, Dick, Harry, Smith and Jones has been out yesterday casting their vote for Harold Saxon and those who support his new vision. I guess it's just human nature to turn to someone who can promise so much after the other politicians have done nothing but practically suck the blood out of your family!! But now Britain is reborn, Lazarus rising from the grave, not an experiment but the real thing!!!!

Here are the full results if you can't get them off the BBC website (apparently it's internet gridlock on bbc.co.uk):

Saxon 507
+507
46.3%

Labour 84
-263
17.2%

Conservative 27
-186
19.2%

SNP
19
+13
2.6%

Lib Dem
7
-53
8.1%

Plaid Cymru
3
+1
0.7%

Green
1
+1
2.0%

Others
2
-2
3.9%

Northern Ireland went totally Saxon and only Scotland saw Saxon failing to take a majority of seats, though we didn't put up a candidate in every seat north of the border. The full election map can be seen below (click on the map for large version).

Todays the day for the start of the end!!!!Come on Martha its your job to save the Doctor!

Someone left a TARDIS in Westminster, watch Doctor Wo grab it go back an hour and turn up at the party on time! ( maybe wrong planet).

OK one hour to go some more spoliers from CBBC!!!


What did Lizo think about Dr Who?
Our biggest Doctor Who fan Lizo reviews the 12th episode of Doctor Who - The Sound of Drums. After the incredible revelation and cliff-hanger at the end of Utopia, fans will be desperate to know what happens next.
The Doctor, Martha and Captain Jack manage to escape back to earth (no surprises there) and are soon on the track of The Master. But to their horror he's become one of the most powerful people in the country. And he's not alone, he's working with a mysterious race of aliens called The Toclafane who say they come in peace. But The Doctor has his doubts. And he suspects that the whole earth is heading for disaster.

This episode is powered along by a brilliant performance from John Simm as The Master. He's a fantastic villain because he's like The Doctor in so many ways - he's hyper-intelligent, and bounds around the screen with just as much energy as his Time Lord rival.

And what makes him so scary as an enemy is that he's the first person we've met who you can really imagine being able to defeat The Doctor, because he's easily the Time Lord's equal.

Celebrity cameos

The story provides lots of answers that have come up throughout the series - how The Master ended up trillions of years in the future, the origins of Mr Saxon, even what The Doctor's home planet actually looks like. But it also ends up asking even more questions - what does the mysterious drumming mean, and what's The Master really up to?


All of this means it feels rather less exciting than Utopia, it's because it's setting up things for the climax in the last episode of the series. But there's still more than enough going on to keep fans happy, with the tension really increasing as the story unfolds.

It's not all wall-to-wall action though, there's lots of humour. Much of it provided by The Master who's having a wonderful time being an evil super villain. Along with some great celebrity cameos.

Worthy companion

What The Sound of Drums does beautifully is to draw together so many unexpected threads from earlier in the series. And it shows how cleverly chief writer Russell T. Davies has woven together the different strands to reward viewers who've followed the series faithfully.

Also one of the best things about the last 12 episodes has been watching Martha developing from a wide eyed newcomer to the wonders of time and space, into a worthy companion for The Doctor. And we truly get to appreciate this change as she's forced to make some difficult choices.

To keep what happens secret, hardly anyone will be allowed to see the final story - Episode 13 Last of the Time Lords - before it appears on TV. So it looks like this will be the last review of Doctor Who Series 3. But if this episode is anything to go by, the climax of the series will be well worth the wait.

Four and a half out of five.

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

A really great episode well written by RTD.

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Q. Is it true that the Archangel communications network poses a health risk?

A. The health concerns over Archangel have been totally disproved. Harold Saxon can personally guarantee this. The success of Archangel has been a substantial boost to the morale of British industry. Again, anybody with any doubts about Archangel is invited to meet with Harold Saxon personally to discuss them.

Hi All!

Doctor Who was Certainly Exciting! I'm glad everyone guessed that they'd Space Hop between the year 300 Trillion and 2006. Although, the Master's TARDIS would of been cool too.

Being made Public enemy Number One was Exciting, as finding out that Martha's Family got kidnapped, and that Torchwood 3 is out to the Himalayas (hope they mention that next Series of Torchwood). It's these things that make Everything seem Hopelessly lost, and it's what keeps us going all week long!

The Cliffhanger, in my Opinion, wasn't that Exciting. Since we hardly know what the Tocalfane actually are, we have no clue as to how menacing they can be (I must admit though, seeing the President of the US being Disintegrated was pretty cool!).

This is the week we all start speculating, so don't forget to post!!! My thoughts as to how they will save the day are as follows:

1) The Judoon are Rumored to return, and, while I didn't think they would have a purpose in the finale, or how they'd return, but I have figured out why. You see, Martha Still has that 'Compensation' that she had from Episode One where she was mis-identifed as an Alien. That might mean she could get the Judoon to come back to the Valiant and stop the master or something like that..

2) UNIT forces on the Valiant gang up on the Master??

3) Martha Jumpes to the Himalayas and finds Torchwood, then jumps back???

Oh well, I'm out of idea.. Any more?
