    The Doctor mentioned a war - but who with?

    And the Doctor is the last time lord? They all died ?

    ...indeed. I see many a good story ahead,

    truth be told Im not so sure about this. As a kid I loved it when the doctor went "home"

    Got to say, I'm not loving this time travel malarky.

    Doctor Who was much better with McCoy when everything happened on Earth, in the present, and the storylines were coherent and long running.

    You haven't really seen much Doctor Who (McCoy era included) - have you?

    That was unbeleivably GREAT.

    SO much better than the diabolical first episode. And next week's looks ace too!

    My only regret is we won't see Zoe Wannamker's fabulous character again, she was the best thing in it!

    Not as good as the first episode and i doubt it will appeal to the majority of people...it was too much like farscape...if all the episodes continue to be like that one then the ratings will no doubt become very low...

    BRILLIANT! Absolutely glorious, and Jabe The Tree was perfect. Funny, exciting, special effectsy, kids'll love it. I certainly did.

    Gallifrey destroyed, eh? Who'da thunk it?

    RTD webchat cancelled:

    I'm sure could still go home...in the past....unless all existance of his homeworld has been irraicated...I'm sure we might see later in the series that he realises something wasn't right in the war and he sets about trying to stop what ever it was from happening and results in stopping the war and the death and destruction.

    Well, it is a time travel show, so we could see her again. Look how many times the Darleks have been 'defeated'. :)

    Perfect telly. Glorious. Special effectsy, funny, thoughtful (I am posting this in every thread that says DR WHO EP 2, so will end up repeating myself). Jabe was perfect.

    chuff.x.

    I loved it and the rest of my family enjoyed it too which is almost unheard of.

    I think its covered in the books about the eighth doctor - I think it was a civil war, something to do with Romana.

    Thanks. Thought it was something along those lines.

    When do the Daleks appear?

    I've never really watched any of the previous series, but I can't work out whether this one follows on from the previous ones, or whether it is a completely new reinvention. Has that become clear yet?

    Very good episode, not what I was expecting from Dr Who.

    Yeah, but then someone pointed out to me that judging by this episode it was clear Cassandra and the Dr had never met before, so I'm not sure it's possible...

    Forgot - You can speak to the writer (T Davis), on BBC's website.

    Its a follow on, although they still have the flexability to make it a re-invention if they want. CE leaving may make them reconsider (along with other reasons)

    Something along the lines of not needing a Doctor and a Police Box to go time travelling with ITV and 'Hit Me Baby One More Time'. Maybe it wasn't sniode as such, but I find it strange that they reference it.

    Great stuff.

    "What are you going to do - moisturise me?"

    I don't remember the old Dr Who having any kind of emotional content either. But this series is quite moving at times, with Earth's destruction - normally a kind of sci-fi "what if?" concept - actually meaning something for a change. Hats off for making it involving as well as fun.
