@Mudlark – ahh, Sylvester McCoy on the spoons!  Here he is in Time and the Rani

(rather less of hitting himself on the back of the head with one in Robot of Sherwood, though)

Im quite intrigued by the amount of past Doctor mannerisms / manners / thingymajigs that Capaldi is incorporating into his 12th Doctor.  I hope that viewers who have j…[Read more]

I think it more likely that being a teacher who has had to learn to control a roomful of teenagers, spot troubled pupils etc, AND who knocks around with an eccentric,  she has simply become rather good at reading people.

How long does that “edit” feature work?

I wanted to amend my earlier re-introduction because I forgot the fragrant Sarah Jane Smith as a favourite companion.  Ive only seen two of her stories in DW but Ive seen all of the CBBC programmes. (I’m only a wee bit older than the demographic, honest)

hooyah!  An apostrophe showed u…[Read more]

Hello @Bluesqueakpip (thats hard to type, had to do it several times!  Thank goodness I found the edit feature.)

Thats another example though where it can plausibly be said that Claras not mind-reading, she interprets the excessive laughing as a cover for general sadness.  I like “windows to the soul” and the eyestalk entry reference.  Perhaps we…[Read more]

Hello @FiveFaces

Robot is from the root verb “to work” in both Czech and Russian.

Im not sure about a socialist bent to the series so far.  Moffat is milking Scottish independence though, and thats being written about as a more left-leaning ideal north of the border.

Hello @Whisht

I said “Seemingly” Random.  😉  And I like the “Theories more insane than whats actually happening” on the front page.

Hello @SaraOswald101

I wonder if theres an archive of introductions.  Yours is very well done.  I wish I could erase mine and start over.

Im someone who was on the verge of giving up with DW sites because I don…[Read more]

Clara is reading minds a lot so far.  But its always portrayed as something that can be read as something else, like with Robin Hood she knows the story very well, with Danny Pink she was joking that a moral dimension to soldiering means crying after killing people.  (Did she do a mind-reading in Deep Breath?)  Theres the psychic link to River So…[Read more]

wolfweed, thanks for your welcome earlier.  Thanks for posting the Extra here too (just saw it on iplayer).

That door thing was bothering me so I rewatched the beginning.  It goes like this:

At 3:00 in the Tardis is shown with the door open.  Its closed at 3:09 even tho the Doctor only took the arrow out but isnt shown closing the door.

Then th…[Read more]

That will be worth seeing again.  I saw a continuity problem near the beginning with the Tardis door open then shut, I expected that to be meaningful (something got into the Tardis?).  I also thought there wouldnt be a decapitation due to recent world events, but there still was even tho it was a robot.

I thought the Tardis held back hordes of M…[Read more]

Hello.  Im Apopheniac (see apophenia), seemed OK for a Dr Who forum name.

I hate spoilers and too many sites tell all about whats coming up in this series.  This site layout seems to solve that.  I know tonights ep is about Robin Hood and I didnt want to know that, but boo hoo its out there everywhere.  I hope I can watch each new ep with a cle…[Read more]

Hello.  There are a lot of posts, which I read thru quickly.  Did anyone else see the similarity of sliding down into muck in this ep with The Beast Below?

Regarding Slapgate I think arguments for and against have merit.  But DV is in the press more & more lateley and there should be other ways to show someone theyre wrong (even tho it wasnt “d…[Read more]
