It was the series 2 Rose/Doctor love in that did it for me more than season 1. RTD clearly meant us to see how a rather unDoctorish Doctor 9 was put back on track by the relationship he […]

@Arkleseizure

I went back to look at Parting of the Ways and, again, I am not sure your reading is right.

The Doctor sends Rose away in the TARDIS to keep her safe. He knows he is going to have to use the […]

@shazzbot

Send him and Moffat a tweet to that effect – own ARSE!

@Arkleseizure

I would urge you to rewatch World War Three.

I think that Eccleston’s Doctor is “unthawing” throughout. He definitely […]

@Arkleseizure

I confess to not understanding where you are coming from here.

Can you give me some examples of how Tennant treated Martha badly? I do not remember him belittling her nor do I remember him […]

@MadScientist72 @Arkleseizure

Thanks. How could I have forgotten the Deadly Assassin ? I recall Goth dies because his brain and body had been severely damaged in the Matrix struggle. I think we’ll have to ask […]

@Arkleseizure

You don’t come across as a naysayer, fear not.

I don’t, for my part, see any difference between Dalek Invasion of Earth and War Machines, as story types,  except degree. The Doctor is not there […]

@Arkleseizure We recently re watched Mind Robber. It holds up well to the test of time. It is one of my favourite BG stories and is all the more memorable as it is one of the few Troughton stories I have seen. I […]

@HTPBDET @Arkleseizure

For me, the iconic scene of the Dalek emerging from the Thames represents, in a very fundamental way, the concept of aliens invading Earth, regardless of whether or not they have invaded, […]

@Phaseshift @Arkleseizure @HTPBDET

Yeah, been thinking about rewatch order too.  It seems to be evolving organically in the right order!  I’m more than happy to do b/w (you have to ask????!), but would prefer […]

@arkleseizure

Perhaps we could go black and white after Ghost Light and Androzani?

It’s interesting that one because your question made me think of the timings in the lead up to the 50th. I’m really happy […]

@Arkleseizure

Yes, you are quite right – there are  a number of murders of Time Lords in BG Doctor Who.

It is an interesting question this: but I have always thought one way to rationalise it is that if the […]

@Arkleseizure

Fair enough.

For me, the iconic scene of the Dalek emerging from the Thames represents, in a very fundamental way, the concept of aliens invading Earth, regardless of whether or not they have […]

@Arkleseizure

I think the thing about Invasion setting up the Pertwee is simply that it introduces UNIT and the notion of the Doctor working together with UNIT to repel alien threats.

War Machines is […]

@arkleseizure

Thanks for that. It would be interesting to know if they were influenced by a chap called Leo Baxendale with that. You’re probably too young to remember him, but I think he was named as a big […]

@arkleseizure

It’s not a problem really. Just a warning beforehand. I think when we set up we agreed any potential material like that should be marked “Not suitable for Work!” or suchlike. Saves some red faces. 😀

@Whisht @juniperfish (j-fish..????? we miss u 🙁 ) @miapatrick @chickenelly @HTPBDET @steve-thorp @shazzbot @JanetteB @Wolfweed @arkleseizure and everyone

We can always loop back to Androzani end of Aug/Sep;  […]
