There is a scene in the cinema, where they are screening an old black and white Western. It immediately reminded me of one of the most wonderful 1950s British comedies ever made,  “The Smallest Show on Earth,” about a young couple who inherit a run-down cinema, and try to make it work, by showing cheap movies, including an old Western. As I…[Read more]

Well, I liked all of it from the scary start to the finish. I have loved the mix of live action and cartoons since I saw Gene Kelly dance with the mouse from Tom and Jerry when I was a little kid.Then I thought it was magic and after this episode I still do. I just wish the Doctor and Belinda were animated a little longer.

The music as usual was…[Read more]

@whohar yup. “Sad Man.” It was nicely done

@thane16

Lots of callbacks. I think also a song from Doc 11 (during the scene with the fans). Sad Man in a Box.

Also the Mr RaD laugh was the same as Stooky Bill’s from The Giggle.

And did anyone catch the mid credits scene?

Rich score

Amy’s theme and in the diner, a take on the Adagio Molto Beethoven’s Symphony 1.

First impression–I thought it was pretty good. And it was the one episode of the RTD2 years so far that made excellent use of all that Disney+ money.

I really liked the meta allusions  with the trio of fans and their constant answer to the question of which was the best episode–“Blink”,”Blink”,”Blink”. In fact, the trio of fans reminded me the…[Read more]

An enjoyable ep. A bit trippy and very meta at times. I liked the joke about Mr Ring a ding not having emotions as he was a two dimensional character

24th May is the airing of the penultimate episode.

I also had the same thought about the regen scene.

And, yes, I was also confused by how the Doc saw the…[Read more]

That was very enjoyable. Take aways…

This is definitely in The Mind Robberverse. I was a bit annoyed by the ‘don’t make me laff!’ ‘Why? Oh it’s the giggle!’ After which some letters fall off Rock’s credits on the OUTSIDE the cinema revealing… but it is the Doctor, who’s INSIDE, who says ‘hey it’s only the chuffing Harbinger!’ Well, if it…[Read more]

Well an enjoyable romp. I think I now know  where the online rumour of Ncuti filming a regeneration scene came from so maybe Ncuti isn’t leaving the show anytime soon, though to be honest given his increasing “fame” and I assume offers of work I wouldn’t  be surprised if he only does 3 or 4 seasons and I think the overall average is 4 seasons.…[Read more]

@whohar @scaryb

Was Susan a companion? Really? Just a Clara style e Missian lapdog? Wasn’t she the Original Time Lady?

Otherwise, this time around Varada Sethu is channeling Nichola Bryant circa Caves of Androzani. Sorry, I did look.

Not sure who Anita was dressed as…

Hold on… just twigged, there was an Anita in Joy to the World and we all l…[Read more]

@winston   There probably are sharks but they never come inside the reef, it’s too confined for them.   The only thing people-sized organisms have to worry about is stepping on a stonefish – rare, but very nasty I believe – but any form of rubber-soled ‘reef shoes’ are a protection.   Oh, and the coral has the sharpness of coarse sandpaper if yo…[Read more]

@scaryb  I like your new picture. Scoot is perfect, he cleans and polishes and he is so cute. This little guy has oodles of personality and I want him.

Stay safe

@ps1l0v3y0u

….maybe ALL the companions I dunno

(Cough, cough) Susan.

We were watching “The Daemons” recently (after long gap) and we both noticed what many other viewers  in recent years must have noticed and commented on, but which (I confess) passed us by. And that is that one of the members of UNIT (and regarded by his superiors as too slow in getting this done) was…Sgt Osgoode! It all makes sense now–if one…[Read more]
