Two hours… Of course, any rediscovered episode is great news, but I will be disappointed if they’ve gone to these lengths for two episodes of Fury From the Deep and one from the Enemy of the World (not that I’ve anything against these stories, they’re just two that came into my head). It’s the anticipation!

Will there be a special announcement…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave : Agreed, except that, given I was born in 1978, as far an I’m concerned, rediscovered old Who to all intents and purposes is new Who. I’m looking forward to chucking my previously-treasured Loose Cannons in the bin!

Desperately trying not to hope for The Massacre of St Bartholomew’s Eve… That would be too brilliant for words.

I think this is what they call “tenterhooks”: I’ve a feeling it will be a good haul, albeit nothing like 100 episodes! Roll on 0001 hours!

(I like Lance Parkin: he’s written some of the few New Adventures I’ve managed to finish, but I’ll definitely be avoiding his twitter account today. Can I suggest that anybody who looks and wants to talk about…[Read more]

@Shazzbot: I’d certainly like to come, but the practicalities of nipping up from Bournemouth might cause me problems: it depends on whether or not I can stay with my brother who lives in Stepney. I will keep you posted! 🙂

(Hopefully, by then I should have completed the project that’s largely kept me away from here recently: my vow to have…[Read more]

I am indeed disappointed. Ho-hum.

I’ll probably be disappointed, but the continuity announcer just said that something special was coming up after the EastEnders credits… We’ll know in half an hour…

MaybeMaybe this is just my Yeti obsession talking, but the wall Bad Wolf is written on looks to me to be rounded like a Tube station. Anyone else think this is significant?

@wolfweed: If there’s one story I would absolutely love to see, it’s one where the Doctor encounters an elderly Jamie who’s spent his life haunted by dreams about Cybermen, Yetis, Ice Warriors and cute girls from […]

@Arkleseizure: not Big Finish, Loose Canon. Minor brain malfunction there.

@ScaryB: agree wholeheartedly about the Massacre: probably the only time I’ve watched a reconstruction without feeling cheated because the story is just that good (although Big Finish did a typically fine job). […]

On the subject of doppelgängers, I was wondering how many people agree with the idea that Chancellor Goth was one of Time Lord tribunal that sentenced the Doctor in the War Games? I have to say I personally like […]

@Shazzbot : I think this will make them all the more determined to pull off a surprise regeneration next time. In the meantime, keep feeding lies to Ian Levine so he blabs them over twitter and cries wolf so often […]

I was just thinking:

The Abbott of Amboise, Salamander, Princess Strella, Ann Talbot.

Doctor Who used to be able to take random doubles in its stride. What happened?

@ Craig :

Yes, I called him Doctor Who. I don’t care.

Yes, you did. Now resign your fandom in disgrace 😉

@Bluesqueakpip — you’ve worried me. The Doctor with a face splintered through time. Does this mean the twelfth Doctor will actually be a Jagaroth?

YES!!!!! IT IS!!!!! BRILLIANT CHOICE!!!!!!!
