Yes. Exposition, Comic Relief and Critique… could be a useful analytical tool. So, going back in time… criticality indicated by *

Belinda… ** really just a functional companion, being transported from a>b. But revealing of ‘The Doctor Question’ and so a little critical. Not really worked that part of the arc out though.…[Read more]

the only time there will be new doctor who stuff is on radio podcasts and fan fiction

imagine if there was a spinoff show that featured just the past and present companions

@winston I think the human companion is there to connect us to the Doctor through them and let us travel with him. I also think the human companion provides a contrast, the Doctor is a weird and strange alien and not from earth. The Doctor is also very humanoid and if not for the 2 hearts he seems a lot like us. Maybe a companion that was very…

@craig Thanks so much!

One other question: This is going back over a month ago. After I posted to the On the Sofa 11 thread, the thread disappeared from the list in the General Forum. I can see my post in my Activity, and if I click on that link I can see the thread (which has a number of newer posts, including one today). Any idea how to get it…[Read more]

I think we can safely assume now that this “decision” on some unknown date in 2026 will include details that there will be no new series of Doctor Who in 2026, because there won’t be “enough time” to produce a series with all the special effects they claim are required!

All Doctor Who fans living in the UK should contact the BBC immediately…[Read more]

@craig     Thank you, Emperor.   🙂

I did dispose of a K9 keyring when our neighbourhood put on a ‘yard sale’ for Oxfam a few weeks back. Bought by a kid who said his mum loves Who.

Life Preservers… I know that’s not what you mean but I immediately think of the Victorian gentlemen’s cudgels ala Anthony Trollope!

@janetteb  @ps1l0v3y0u     Libraries are great. I love our local library, in fact I could live in the library surrounded by books and archives and dvds. Ours now lends out life preservers and park passes and gives weekend craft kits to kids. They give tech help which I have needed now and then. They also have a Lego club! My librarians help me g…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent Thank you. Spammer has been got rid of.

@craig  –   just to let you know, some pest calling itself Dylan joined a few days ago and immediately spammed half a dozen forums with links to  ??American baseball jerseys???  (together with some bland AI-generated ‘ ‘nice post’ comments)

@ps1l0v3y0u We do have a good library system. Can borrow from any library in the state which is handy though Fftd is in our local library. I have seen it on the shelf, did not realise that we did not already have it.

@janetteb

the animated arms are a bit distracting.

I think they should have cut to the remaining actual footage of Oak and Quill’s gas attack (kindly preserved by the Australian censors.) It is still absolutely terrifying.

Your library system sounds impressive!

@ps1l0v3y0u Really glad you drew attention to this. I realised that we don’t have the animation and so have ordered the DVDs from the library. Really keen to watch it. It might be the story I remember from when I was young..

cheers

So… Fury from The Deep… the last hour and a bit.

To be frank, and obviously this is animated, the second half didn’t have anywhere near the creep factor of the first. The sonic attack courtesy of Victoria was a long time coming and… just as Moff would have it, no one dies! Nothing for Mary Whitehouse to worry about at all really. But it have be…[Read more]

Decision delayed until 2026. See my earlier post for more details.

i wonder if disney will renew doctor who
