Admin2KDec-24-2012 10:41 PM@Travlis; Start with the 2005 Reboot with the 3 new Doctors then go back and watch the older episodes from the 70's to the 90's, they are great. :)

The Doctor Who Christmas special, entitled The Snowmen, re-introduced us to the character of Clara (UK Soap Emmerdale's Jenna-Louise Coleman), previously seen in an episode in the last series entitled Asylum of the Daleks.
In AotD, Clara was unknowingly a Dalek whom helped the Doctor and his companions escape a planet used to imprison insane Daleks. Her character was killed off at the end of this episode.
In The Snowmen Clara is commoner who moonlights as the governess to a single fathers two children, amidst a story in which an eccentric aristocrat played by Richard E. Grant, is using telepathic snow, manifesting as terrifying Snowmen to terrorize the family in hope of acquiring a body frozen in the ice of a pond on the families estate. At the end of the episode Clara again dies.
The trailer for the new series (see link below), due April 2013, shows a present day version of Clara (actually the exact same character) accompanying the Doctor as his new companion.

Who is this Clara? How can she exist as the same person in three different time periods? Is this a result of something the Doctor has done in the past? Or maybe something he has yet to do? Are the rumors of River Songs return true?
April cannot come soon enough...

Admin2KJan-03-2013 11:19 AMShe isn't playing the same character, is she? They re-used a companion before, Amy Pond. Before she was cast as Amy pond, Karen Gillan played an oracle opposite the 10th doctor in the episode "The fires of Pompeii".

MemberLegendJan-03-2013 11:52 AMSvanya, well remembered about Karen Gillan.
However, the character of Clara Oswin Oswlad is the same character in the new series as it was in the Asylum of the Daleks and the Snowmen, she is referred to in the trailer for the upcoming series as the girl who died twice - same girl, same character.

Admin2KJan-03-2013 1:20 PMMoffat stated that Clara would have no connections with previous characters in the series... That said, it does seem an interesting idea allbeit a little cliche after the whole River Song reveal last season.
I looked on the net and there are multiple theories circulating already [url=http://sciencefiction.com/2012/12/30/who-is-clara-oswin-oswald/][b]Doctor Who: Who is Clara Oswin Oswald?[/b][/url]

MemberNoobSep-03-2013 10:36 PMThe old doctor who with jon pertwee and tom baker were the best ones. They explored other planets which is lacking in the recent who adventures. The electronic music was a big plus back then. Very cool experimental music and better looking interesting creatures and thought provoking stories. The doctor who from the early 2000 era with Christopher ecclestian was the better doctor. David Tennant had his moments. I found doctor who difficult to be a children's show at times.

Member2KNov-15-2013 12:19 PMJohn Pertwee and Tom Baker are my personal favourites. David Tennant and Matt Smith were both excellent and brought their own brand of uniqueness to the role.
