to start with I am references posts from prior to my last post. I think I was either rushed or tired then. so, to my notes,

@Dentarthurdent I fondly remember watching the old Sherlock series. I think Green Screen was either pioneered by the Star…[Read more]

He regenerated into the 8th, Paul McGann, in the Doctor Who movie.

McGann regenerated into the War Doctor John Hurt in ‘The Night of the Doctor’, a short that preceded the 50th ‘Day of the Doctor’.   The War Doctor was effectively not counted, subsequent Doctors never ackn…[Read more]

I watched “Dalek” just last night and even after 6 or 7 views I still get goosebumps when the Doctor realizes that the Dalek is helpless. Chris’s acting was intense and this show more that any so far sh…[Read more]

There are many great parts/elements that make Midnight a really cool and popular ep but to pick the high points the ep is really great at building fear , there is fear of the unknown , its scary how Powerless The Doctor is and he doesn’t know what the enemy was , fear of people like these nice holiday makers start turning on each other…[Read more]

Yes! to that speech by the Dalek Emperor. It lifts the Daleks above the level of just-baddies-to-be-destroyed.

Silence in the Library / Forest of the Dead is pretty good as a starter.

Oh gosh, this is going to be *very* subjective!
All I can do is list a few of the episodes (NuWho eps only) I personally liked the most. No guarantee…[Read more]

I sort of lost touch with the original show partway through Patrick Troughton’s run – if you missed the show when it was on, or maybe the repeat a week or so later, that was it – no rental DVD’s in those da…[Read more]

In his words he didn’t want to be trapped into the role of Doctor Who even though he was well known for other roles as well at that point. He even went as far as refusing to do conventions for a w…[Read more]
