Doctor Who Series 8 Q&A Highlights | Doctor Who

[@teamnotdead7209]

"...and it's got Cybermen and it's got Missy and it's got... Jenna" Funny how he's using fictional characters all the time and then suddenly JENNA. That's kind of sweet!

[@ticket2]

it was delightful to hear Peter Capaldi acknowledge the previous Doctors Eccelston, Tennant and Smith at how there performance as The Doctor aided in making Doctor Who even more amazing a series for all audiences worldwide. All the Doctors what a astonishing achievement and a awesome privilege to be in such a unique and creative long running series, just brilliant!

[@Lythgoemania]

Frank Skinner should host EVERY Doctor Who panel from now on!

[@Lythgoemania]

Michelle is hilarious. Can't wait for her to come back in the future.

[@happyeagle92]

"We shared a banana, so we're fine" LOL. I love her. Michelle is sooo funny!

[@puppycatsbee]

7:08 "what you really need is friends, and from day one, jenna was my friend" tell me that's not the most wholesome thing you've ever heard anyone say, i dare you 🥺

[@TheMarrka]

Peter Capaldi is the best Doctor. I can't hink of anyone to fill his shoes. Please don't change him. Ever. Please.

[@virtualashez]

matt and peter and my doctors

[@MrRjhyt]

I love the Scottish Doctors: Sylvester; David; Peter and surely Ncuti, too.

[@kingp260]

Welp... They changed him...

[@russelltietjen4407]

So from what I can gather... Capaldi being offered the part in 1995: "No, thank you, but I don't want anything to do with it." Calpadi being offered the part in 2013: "YES! I'LLDOITI'LLDOITI'LLDOITI'LLDOITI'LLDOIT!!!"

[@MarxMediaProductions]

More of "No thank you, I'd rather not be told I'm not suited for the part."

[@willdagreat1826]

Why not a whole season with both of them?

[@superevilvillain]

I can understand why. What a mammoth task trying to reboot a series with a reputation like that. Major props to RTD, Eccleston and everyone else involved with Series 1.

[@Spodumene]

Part of me is excited for a new companion the other part is crying and not wanting Jenna to leave

[@delaneyw5115]

"We shared a banana and it was fine." I must bond with all new people like this

[@nicolesong6199]

Using this new tactic some time.

[@ryanchaglasian4460]

11:25 Okay, it's official, Michelle Gomez is the greatest.

[@Kangaru14]

I like Peter's polka dot socks!

[@nancy7744]

Frank and Peter together again.. Im going to watch this forever! Hope Michelle will be back, she is so funny. Hope the full Q&A will become available? want to see more of the interaction between Frank & Peter!!

[@CarboKnights]

It sounds like they all had a ball on this series! Also, didn't realise Peter was approached to be the 8th Doctor! Kinda glad he turned it down, Series 8 was great!

[@pearltheepic7053]

Michelle is amazing, I love her so much she's hilarious 😂

[@Jaqen-HGhar]

So glad I ended up watch An Adventure in Space and Time. Gave me a whole new perspective on the Doctor and more appreciation for Capaldi's Doctor.

[@blackham7]

Capaldi is amazing I saw on the news how he gave a little boy hope by sending him a video of himself how after the boy's mother died or something like tht cNt remember exactly

[@SaraRose24800]

This is an awesome Doctor Who Answers and Questions Video! :D

[@BforBilbo]

6:46 sonic screwdriver sound

[@clapthonyclaptano3922]

Nawwwww.

[@dametrot]

Awesome ! I had a wonderful time at the launch and its great to see the hightlight video, I'd love to see the part again about the 'Mondasian Cyberman' which was hilarious

[@Tardisius]

Don't turn your back don't look away and don't Blink...=))

[@ChairyCrasher]

I have a question do you want a jelly baby?

[@ChairyCrasher]

I have another question. Have someone used a hammer or a pickaxe to destroy the Weeping Angels.

[@Tardisius]

***** I think the hammer would work on just 1 but they usually travel in 'flocks' of 3 or more =)) I have plenty of Jelly Babies =))'

[@ChairyCrasher]

***** okay :)

[@stephenmurphy2212]

... Good luck!

[@eob20122]

Did Peter call Samuel Alexander at some point? When they were talking about Danny Pink...

[@LGD3]

Coleman's ankles seem to be malfunctioning...

[@krysiakmk]

Could you please upload the whole panel as well? Going by the reports from the event it seems you cut all the best bits.

[@Kanshin]

I don't think they will upload the whole thing because I think the whole thing is on the dvd for season 8...I believe its just suppose to get you wanting more so you will buy it.. ^^

[@mitchellradford1]

Kanshin Ironically I can't find it on the series 8 DVD. I just have the Zoe ball deep breath panel.

[@Anna54181]

Why are they upload higlights not the full QA??

[@Lythgoemania]

................Maybe.......uh.......no, I've got nothing.

[@Anna54181]

Robert Lythgoe it really annoys me...and the fact that they still have not upload all full QA from World Tour DW. They promised after Deep Breath/

[@FirstSlateProductionsOfficial]

Anna54181 That's on the DVD. I watched it at the cinema, it wasn't anything special, but I suppose it would be nice for everyone to watch anyway

[@oldfarmshow]

Thanks for posting

[@ibtrumpet513]

Sonic Screwdriver @ 6:45

[@tcironbear21]

I was pretty disappointed with this season. Pretty much none of the stories really grabbed me other than the Missy arch. Missy was by far the best part. I think the problem is that for the most part Peter Capaldi did not really have a distinctive style that I liked. I do not think it is Peter's fault. When Peter had the right script he really put his stamp on the Doctor. I loved the Doctor from the Robin Hood eposide. He was able to make a cranky old man very lovable.

[@Lythgoemania]

Ironically, I thought the Robin Hood episode was Peter's weakest performance since it felt like a Matt Smith script. Apart from that, he was excellent in every other scene he was in in this series. Fair enough, I guess.

[@tcironbear21]

Robert Lythgoe As a fan of the 4th Doctor and New Who, I really like a Doctor with some quirkiness and comedic timing. The 12th Doctor just feels angry and angsty like a teenager in an old man's body. I think that is why I loved Missy so much.

[@galaxyoffiction50]

TC Coltharp they do need to focus on the 12 the doctor more

[@Lythgoemania]

Galaxy Of Fiction They don't. He has got a lot of focus.

[@davidjbrewer3313]

Is it just me that thinks Sam Anderson seems a lovely guy but quite shy and Jenna etc...... don't really like him!?!?!

[@Lythgoemania]

They did all seem to be ignoring him.......except Michelle. I don't know if that says anything :P

[@Chinaboatman]

Robert Lythgoe It says that she was the one sitting close to him... :P Hard for the others to engage with him when he's on the end. He does seem shy but then he isn't used to conventions and events like this, whereas the others are more accustomed to it. It must be really nerve-wracking doing something like this for the first few times. In truth, I know a lot of them consider functions like this, being themselves to an audience, much more intimidating than acting. Even as an actor (at least, as Danny Pink) he is quiet and softly-spoken.

[@Lythgoemania]

Chinaboatman Yeah, this is the most likely explanation.

[@Lythgoemania]

John David Considering Sam's story about the text message, I'm sure they get on fairly well. Plus they kind of knew each other before DW.

[@davidjbrewer3313]

Robert Lythgoe It was the text message moment, watching Jenna, that really sold how uncomfortable she is around him actually... its something I've felt watching the DW online extras and when they did the cinema showing in London, for a long time I've had a nagging feeling that despite them both being great actors one reason some people didn't buy into the relationship is that off screen its an awkward dynamic. I totally agree with Chinaboatman about nerves, but I just keep getting a gut feeling that something is sour in Jenna and Sam's past or has gone sour in filming, either that or she just doesn't like him. People can get on fine on a work level, have numbers and texts and calls, but it doesn't mean beyond surface level that they are all nice to each other.

[@poppytownend]

Jenna's feet have a mind of their own XD

[@soniag8739]

it was a bit annoying bless her.

[@poppytownend]

Cherry Fay it was funny.

[@GeorgeRadcliffe]

Mine are exactly the same xD

[@eleonorer.6503]

This is the most accurate description of this panel there is.

[@sweiland75]

a slight more what dynamic? 7:25

[@Lythgoemania]

I have no idea what he said either.

[@lukecoffey665]

Moffat never confirmed the Santa=time lord question ...

[@UncombedHair]

There's a slight more [what] dynamic? 7:40

[@CraigBickerstaff]

I'm torn about this box set, on one hand I really want it because I enjoyed the season but on the other hand I noticed that it's probably the worst box set yet in terms of extras there is only 4 commentary tracks out of 12 episodes and no one on that stage bothered to do one. Why is it the box sets are getting progressively worse in terms of commentary tracks? Matt Smith only did 1 commentary track ever and the 50th doesn't have one either, the 50th anniversary special! I mean without commentary tracks you may as well just buy it on iTunes even though I can't do that because it's not on iTunes in New Zealand.

[@DanteSolablood]

The BBC is wising up to re-selling the same content with added features. It's a sad fact that they'll sell all these series again in a few years time with a lot more commentaries & behind the scenes features that they _could_ have done the first time around. A lot of companies do this all the time, it just seems that the BBC is catching up.

[@Kitamora]

What would not buying it do though? Reduced sales would make the BBC care even less about putting that effort in. It's a double-edged sword.

[@DanteSolablood]

Danny Taylor I can see your point, but I don't think _effort_ is the issue here. It's more than likely that the BBC has a lot more additional content that it's sitting on for a second release of the DVDs. This is really common nowadays with boxsets. It's equivalent to on disk DLC, you've technically already bought it, but large corporations take a second purchase for added content for granted.

[@richard300768]

Well, you gave the answer: you can buy the box when you don't have it on itunes :o)

[@infectedlion1000]

Danté Solablood I'd say that's the case. Probably also why there haven't been any outtakes on the box sets since season 31 aka 'series 5'.

[@mitchellradford1]

Is this Q&A on the series 8 DVD box set? I can't find it.

[@bobbobowiz3907]

Frank Skinner is awesome.

[@zeusidon1236]

Don't blink, Don't think, Don't breathe, WHAT DO I DO!!!!??!?!?!

[@gaz0428]

Zeusidon 12 smile😀

[@PinayLesbianMums]

DO AS YOU'RE TOLD!

[@tedbendell8959]

This series was dire. Christopher Eccleston was fun, David Tennant was incredible, Matt Smith was fresh, Peter Capaldi is kid friendly. Great.There is no fun in an atmosphere where I was not once even mildly anxious.

[@Lythgoemania]

Doctor Who is not just supposed to be "fun", it's supposed to be fun AND well written. Which S8 was...

[@tedbendell8959]

The SINGLE well written character was Missy. The rest of the series felt like it was the product of Moffat's attempt to make Doctor Who for younger audiences and that was boring. It makes me sad because the most recent series of Sherlock is being repeated I am re-watching them. They are written brilliantly and I was surprised at Moffat with this series. Try watching 'here come the drums' for some better writing and less, what if the kids see this?

[@Lythgoemania]

Ted Bendell Younger audiences? Are you sure? It was definitely a lot more adult. Dark Water in particular was aimed more at adults than children. I'm fine with people disliking this series, but saying it was aimed at kids is just wrong. I'm not trying to disrespect your opinion, but you are very wrong in that area.

[@Despair505]

This series was way more adult than any of the past ones.

[@tedbendell8959]

Is this some kind of joke? Blue peter had a competition to design a gadget for the last series characters. Are you seriously telling me that the 'parasite spiders' were more adult than the Weeping Angels?

[@timrob12]

Even the host was in Doctor Who, because he helped Capaldi in Mummy on the Orient Express.

[@daisycowgill185]

Matt is the best doctor

[@PompeiiProductionsTV]

YES! Finally!

[@kendrixhavlik3051]

Peter is ridiculously cute with his embarassed reactions. It's always a bit jarring to hear Anderson speak and be this fun enthusiastic guy after he played this character who is all dead serious and with little tolerance for any weirdness or humor at all.

[@clapthonyclaptano3922]

Jenna's ankles: MALFUNCTION!!!!!!!!!

[@emilycalles623]

what did michelle say around 11:25?

[@markgorman1951]

Fun interviews. . .

[@BforBilbo]

Luv ur boots Capaldi!

[@MLMBeadle]

Far from more "alien," I think the Doctor this season has been far too "human." One of the optimistic charms has been how the Doctor looks at humanity from the outside and instead of seeing what WE fear we would see, the Doctor sees potential, promise, delight, even wonder. But this time around... well, not so much wouldn't you say? Yes, here and there he said the proverbial 'you don't look like ants, you look like giants.' But actions speak louder than words, and even his words about humanity turned very harsh and negative. Less human, more alien please.

[@MLMBeadle]

***** Thanks for taking the time to reply. I suppose I'm missing the historical perspective. This helps fill it in for me some. Always glad to learn more about the Doctor.

[@Seawolf159]

What is this about? 7:25 comindy?

[@LesterLeapsIn1]

Mork and Mindy, a 70s/80s sitcom about an alien living with a human.

[@DoctorWho50th]

It had the late, great Robin Williams in it. It was his first role and put him on the map

[@malteeaser101]

I thought he said that, lol. I was searching on Google and repeated it several times until I heard clearly, 'Mork and Mindy', I needed to know xD

[@ashawn203]

So many Scottish people on stage.

[@VypaGaming]

Who else came here for Jenna?

[@soniag8739]

haha 0.29 Jenna and Moffat are sitting the same and Michelle and Sam are sitting the same.

[@overdev1993]

audio people you have experience in this or you should have when you work at this ...

[@sparky10142]

3/5 are scottish

[@RGWProductions]

I wished I was there :(

[@jackson2009ify]

He's funny!

[@BforBilbo]

Thumbs up if Tom Baker is ur favourite doctor!

[@BforBilbo]

Thumbs up if u like capaldi's suit!

[@TheDeathgod01]

I didnt like danny pink, he seemed out of place and clouded claras mind,moreover his death made clara betray the doctor. she needs to leave in all honesty. That being said, i wish rowry and amy would be back :((((((

[@Char10tti3]

Did no one cheer for Moffat xD

[@SabertoothSeal]

He kills the audience's favorite character every three years. Would you cheer? (Jokes aside, I think he's brilliant.)

[@Char10tti3]

;)

[@sparky10142]

I think he got cheered more than Danny

[@Azmodaeus49]

that was amazing

[@Stickings90]

Peter used the term actress at 6:33 I thought that term was persona non grata and that men and women were both actors. Time to send PC for some PC re-education?

[@Anna54181]

Jenna looks sad...or really nerveous

[@Lythgoemania]

It might be a sign that she's leaving, although I hope she isn't.

[@BforBilbo]

She is leaving

[@Lythgoemania]

Artin Abdoullahi Not really been confirmed yet, though.

[@BforBilbo]

YEEEEEAHHH! Sorry about that! She is coming back in the christmas special (Sorry!)

[@colbylopez2224]

wants to free her toes from shoes

[@famousartguymeme]

im american and i cant understand their vocab :/

[@DoctorWho]

Is the TARDIS translation circuit not working properly? What words are you struggling to understand? :)

[@BforBilbo]

I didn't know missy was the master because first i watched death in heaven then dark water

[@PompeiiProductionsTV]

That's an odd way to watch them... :D

[@FirstSlateProductionsOfficial]

But it was mentioned numerous times in Death in Heaven that she was the Master

[@PompeiiProductionsTV]

Lemonhead118 Are you the same lemonhead118 that's on doctorwhotoys.net?

[@FirstSlateProductionsOfficial]

PompeiiProductions That's me :P

[@PompeiiProductionsTV]

Lemonhead118 Ah - I'm mrdoctorwhomad :D

[@walksaselk40]

That woman is far more important than Hillary Clinton.

[@vic5015]

I KNOW this should NOT surprise me since Classic Doctor Who was (and still is) ENORMOUSLY popular, but it STILL amuses me to hear the older people involved with the rebooted show gush about how they're SUCH big fans and grew up LOVING the show. well, except for Chris Eccleston, who said somewhere he was NOT a fan of The Doctor, viewing him as an authority figure. (evidently Chris was going through his teenage rebel phase at the time).

[@ellastevens4783]

I'm really annoyed how the show only casts small women, WHERE ARE THESE CURVY GIRLS AT

[@legodude6912]

In McDonald's, where they belong.

[@Democromentor]

chubby != curvy

[@legodude6912]

Ella didn't mean curvy she meant fat. This is indicated by the fact that she was referring to the antonym of 'small' which, in this context , would be fat.

[@TheArg17]

If by curvy you mean chubby, Catherine Tate wasn't exactly thin when she was in Doctor Who. But also most of the companions are meant to be quite young, and on an average English girls aren't very chubby at that age, in fact many of them are very skinny. So, you know, realism.

[@millymclennan6847]

jenna's feet lol

[@codered6131]

I feel sorry for samual pn the end he's just being ignored

[@gusbaker4u]

there are no highlights from the awful season 8

[@maplekaaa]

7th comment

[@LaowzyBoi]

Yaaay first comment

[@Azmodaeus49]

***** it smells like peach to

[@natashabell4604]

Stop calling the doctor "doctor who" his name is the doctor and doctor who is the question

[@owlie14]

Well, keep in mind that, when Doctor Who first started in the 1960s, in credits and among old school fans, he was once referred to as "Doctor Who".

[@geraldsandoval1113]

Am I one of the few fans who wished this series 8 episodes were worth watching, but was sorely disappointed? Just because we love the story/series of Doctor Who doesn't mean that every actor chosen to play him can carry it off. Peter Capaldi is one who not only can't carry the part but is actually ruining the series, boring, hard to understand, long winded and uninteresting, I don't find anything worth making me care or like about his version of the Doctor! I was completely uninterested in any of the story's and found nothing of interest in any of the characters. Story lines sucked and the actors were entirely one dimensional, not one had anything for me to care about them! BIGGEST let down since the series was revived! Will give the Christmas episode a chance before writing the series of as a lost cause but not holding out much hope. I for one will not be buying any series 8 merchandise mainly because I don't care for the series which has been ruined by Peter and the writers. Feels like losing a member of my family, so sad that it has to end like this.
