Since there is no date yet here is some more suggestions.

The Land That Time Forgot. Doug McClure fighting dinosaurs. Tony Anley (The Master Doctor Who Series One)

Plan 9 from Outer Space original and or the remake.

*ahem* ... just to clarify, the Anthony Ainley to whom you refer became The Master during Tom Baker's run, replacing Roger Delgado in the role. This was Season 18 (1981) of the original series. "Series One" typically refers to Christopher Eccleston's first season in 2005.

But yes, it's a perfectly good suggestion.

No There are two Doctor Who Series. When I refer Doctor Who Series One I didn't mistype. The definition of a TV series in the U.S. is different than the one in the UK.

For example Doctor Who Series One have 26 seasons. Doctor Who Series Two have so far six seasons. DW Series Two Season 4 is the longest season to date with 18 episodes. Remember the 2009 episodes still have the Season 4 (series 4 in the UK) production codes.

Some fans and websites refers that Doctor Who going into its 32nd Season. Since the 2005 incarnation is a continuation of the classic series. The BBC labels season 5 (series 5) as series 1 due to Moffett taking over as showrunner. Why are we arguing over schematics on a Sunday morning?

Just to clarify... you are not aguing about schematics, you are arguing semantics. And it was not David's intention to begin a semantic argument. He was bragging, in a sarcastic and humorous way, about how much of a nerd he is about Doctor Who. And for what it is worth, every reference to "Doctor Who Series 1" I have seen refers to the 2005 reboot season, including places like Amazon.com, which is an international website.

Yeah, um, pretty well versed in the whole historical context of Doctor Who, and I'm gonna have to call shenanigans on this one.

With the 2005 reboot, the production team began referring to the seasons as "Series 1", "Series 2" and coding the episodes accordingly (1.1, 1.2, etc.) Both the original Seasons (1-26) and the new Series (1-6) are considered part of the continuity, but if you refer to "Series 1" most new viewers are going to think you're talking about Christopher Eccleston.

And yes, as IamJacksUserID points out, the BBC markets the DVD set for the Eccleston series as "Series 1."

Edited. To fix spelling


The 2005 Series is not a reboot of the Classic Series. Here's why.

1. Sarah Jane Smith and K 9 MK III (now MK IV) makes the following appearances of the 2005 Series: School Reunion, The Stolen Earth and Journey's End. Sarah Jane Smith makes a cameo in The End of Time part II. The 10th Doctor makes a appearance in the SJA serial The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith. The farewell speech between Sarah Jane and the 10th Doctor basically verbatim from when Sarah Jane left the 4th Doctor. The 11th Doctor makes appearance in the SJA serial The Death of the Doctor where the 11th Doctor reunite with his former companion Jo Grant. SJA serial The Death of the Doctor also mention what happen to Ben, Polly, and Ace. During The Stolen Earth/Journey's End Darvos remembers meeting Sarah Jane during the 4th Doctor serial Genesis of the Daleks.

2. The episodes Human Nature, The Next Doctor, and The Eleventh Hour features the Doctor past incarnations. Including the 8th Doctor making without a doubt the 1996 pilot TV movie in canon. Plus Human Nature was an adaptation of Virgin's NA novel of the same name featuring the 7th Doctor.

3. The 8th Doctor TV pilot bridges the Classic Series and the 2005 Series. By having McCoy back as the 7th Doctor and during Rose the 9th Doctor mentions recently regenerated. Plus the Time Wars(s) happen during the 8th Doctor timeline. Plus the Void Ship(s) make appearance in the 8th Doctor novels and at the end of Army of Ghost. Plus. During The End of Time Part I and II an old lady that was contacting Bernard accord to The Radio Times and Russell Davies is suppose to be the Doctor's (human) mother.

4. Other links are Amy looking at pictures of past companions from the Classic Series during one of the in canon inside the TARDIS segment of 2005 Series 5 box set. The Doctor and the dying Master remembering the events of the 3rd Doctor timeline. The in canon Time Clash short featuring the 5th Doctor and 10th Doctor that is canon as well. During the Doctor's Daughter the 10th Doctor mention that he used to have a
family, linking to The 1st Doctor Granddaughter, the 2nd Doctor talking about his family during the events of The Tomb of Cybermen, the 7th Doctor returning to his family home in the final NA novel, and the 8th Doctor TV movie.

Finally the closest thing to a reboot of the 200d series was the Cybus Cybermen of Pete's World. There was a cameo of a Mondas Cyberman during the episode title Dalek. The Mondas Cybermen unofficially return at the end of Moffatt's Series 1. The Mondas Cyberman uses more organics. The Cybus Cybermen are brain only. Plus Cybus Cyberman went back into the Void at the end of The Next Doctor.

Its like calling Star Trek TNG a reboot of Star Trek TOS.

All totally not the points I cared to make. You're absolutely correct, everything from 2005 on IS considered part of the continuity of the original series. Thus why I, y'know, pointed that out.

The only points I was caring to make were:

a) Telling people that Anthony Ainley is The Master in Series One is misleading, since most modern viewers think of Series One as 2005.

b) Telling people that Anthony Ainley is The Master in Seasons 1-26 is still misleading, since he's one of TWO Masters in that era, with Roger Delgado preceding him.

The point I'm making is, if you're going to refer someone to somewhere, make sure they get to the right place.

BTW, I never tried to imply that 2005+ is not considered part of the canon, but when the Producers of a show abandon their multi-episodic format, adopt arc stories per season, and THEY THEMSELVES CHANGE THE NUMBERING SEQUENCE - all after resurrecting a show from a nearly nine-year (16 to some purists) hiatus, I think it's fair to call it a "reboot".

And yes, I'm a Who Nerd. I admit it. I'm also a bigger fan of Roger Delgado than Anthony Ainley ... so NYAH!

The better point to be made - I'd STILL dig seeing "The Land That Time Forgot" at the Marathon. [EDIT: But the more that I think about it, I'd almost rather see "The Valley of Gwangi" instead. Just sayin']

Sunday semantics ... gotta love 'em.

Anthony Ainley is the fourth actor who play The Master. Peter Pratt plays the dying Master in the 4th Doctor serial The Deadly Assassin. Geoffrey Beevers played The Master in the 4th Doctor serial The Keeper of Traken in the samilar makeup job. The dying Master took over the Body of Tremas played by Anthony Ainley thus becoming the Master.

According to your definition Star Trek TNG is a reboot because there was a 21 year span between when Star Trek TOS and Star Trek TNG. BTW BBC America is promoting the upcoming Season of Doctor Who when I was watching Being Human on the TWC HD DVR yesterday.

to be a true purist the upcoming Series of Doctor Who is Series Two. Due to Moffett taking over.

The only reboot during the New Series was the Cybermen. That's it. It is the same Doctor the Same TARDIS, majority of the returning villains are the same or similar.

Ain't it Cool News and the Doctor Who News Page refers the upcoming season of Doctor who as Season 32. Plus true purist will accept the 1996 TV as canon since the new series uses footage of the 1996 TV movie.

Before there was talks about the New Series the BBC was using seasons and not series. Thus this is why I called Doctor Who Series One (Classic Series) and Series Two (New Series)

Yes, it was. But I'm not bored enough to keep making a pedantic argument about what should be called a "reboot." Pointless, really.

Though now I AM wanting to dig up The Valley of Gwangi on DVD somewhere. Odd how these things come full circle. Hmmm ... now I'm totally wanting a "Lost Dinosaurs" themed marathon.

Carnosaur, anyone?
