First?
Can’t wait for the new comic Rich, your stuff is amazing. Plus Hilary is getting in on this one too!
woot can’t wait
that background makes me thing the 7th doctor is afoot! ok well ether the 5th, 6th or 7th. one of them 3
Looking through the logos it’s seems like it’s going to Jon Pertwee. the third doctor.
Yay! The neutron flows going to get a reversed polarity!
Now we only have to guess if the story is going to include Liz, Jo or SJS!
Looks very 3rd Doctor to me! Looking forward to it sir!
Wahoo! Third Doctor rox!
I agree… the swirling background with that logo looks 3-ish. The movie used essentially the same logo but (I think) on a star field. The BBC site, as well as bbcamerica.com (no idea if there’s any mirror for Canada) have a short video with the first 10 logos, released as part of the hype leading up to the new logo for 11. (I think they got to 10 by having a very subtle change in the orange saucer-shape at some point.)
Aaaargh !!! The suspens is unbearable !
I am reminded again of this awesome montage of the classic Who title sequences, put to the equally awesome Orbital cover of the theme…
Definitely the Third Doctor, from one of his first four seasons. That would mean either Liz Shaw or Jo Grant. The title sounds like something Bary Letts would have produced, so I’m guessing it’s Jo (Pertwee’s first season was planned by outgoing producer Derrick Sherwin, who had a somewhat more scientific and less mystical style than Letts). Given the word Norfolk in the title, it’s set on Earth, so I’ll hazard a guess that UNIT is around somewhere……
Definitely UNIT will be involved — in the teaser art a few panels back Rich had the original UNIT insignia. If it’s ‘high point’ Third Doctor we’ll have the ‘UNIT family’ of Jo, Yates, Benton and the Brig… before poor Yates…. well, that would be telling, wouldn’t it? ; >
OOH!! YAY!! Looks like the 3rd Doctor for this one… I dunno, just guessing, but I can’t wait anyway!!
Looks like it’s going to be a third doctor story–can’t wait for it!
Pertwee! YES!
That’s his colour logo… (happy dance).
Ah, Pertwee. The Doc that loved to ride around in vehicles, and thought he knew which levers in the TARDIS did what, since Pertwee tried to correct directors some times when they told him to do flip certain switches to do various things. Also, his penchant for “reverse the polarity of the neutron flow” comes from a scene he had to film that was very heavy on techspeak. There was supposed to be several different lines for what he did, but he forgot quite a few of them, but remembered the reversing of flow polarity, and thus it stuck. Ahh, things you learn from Doctor Who commentary tracks.
I’ll go make some popcorn.
Save me a spot behind the couch.
Jon Petwee comic?
Though I am thrilled at the coming of a Third Doctor story, I hope that sometime down the line you will revisit Eight and Janette.
Woo! The start of the new comic
I am pleased…even if it is only the title page at this stage!
Three and UNIT? Of course!
Can’t wait.
Please, please please please please let me see the Brig again!!!!!!! I don’t know who I liked better, the 4th Doctor or the Brigadier!!!! Oh, that nice green sweater!
a.
I’m looking forward to seeing our first official collaborative effort as well! Should be fun!
Woo-hoo! Looking forward to the next comic.
I hope Sarah is there!
Three rocks the house. I’d hope for Liz rather than Jo, but whichever companion Rich uses, I’m sure it will be awesome.
Wow. I can’t add much to what’s been said, but you could cut the suspense in here with a knife… roll on the next page!
Virginia????
Also… looks like Doc 3 is a coming
Excellent! Can’t wait until it starts!
Whoa…shoulda stayed away from the brown acid.
Actually, I’m kind of hoping for Eight and Janette.
Given this is potentally a 3Doc/Jo Grant/Liz Shaw/Sarah Jane Smith (delete companion as applicable) plus UNITstory, I’m wondering if the Roger Delgado version of
The Master will make a apperance in the story somehow…
I can’t wait. Big fan of the last two series.
New Story Awesome! And with a title to finish any doubt with the era. Wow, I must love crossovers I don’t know if a story like this is my thing. You’ll end my doubts don’t you Rich?
Oh, I hope the Brig makes an appearance!
Pertwee?He’s my favorite Doctor!Excellent!Bessie,The Brig,and Sgt. Benton(I’ve met all 4 of them.Splendid fellows all!)
Argh! The Doctor Who music! Stuck in my head again! And will stay that way every time I come back here until the story actually starts!
Extremely tall Doctor story. What? Jon Pertwee was really tall.
@Jim North – you say that like it’s a bad thing…
who am i: Are you physically capable of making a comment that does not involve some form of name-dropping? I’m genuinely curious.
