Well said on Ainley. I kept out of the kicking of him earlier because it pre-empted this, the end of his run. As I wrote, he and Sylvester were pretty superb together in Suvival I thought.

I […]

@Arkleseizure

I’m glad you got something from Trials and Tribulations. I have to admit that when I first saw it I was a bit agog. So much I had taken for granted seemed to be thrown into doubt.

Like you, I […]

@Arkleseizure – yes, Jenna Coleman’s got a very ‘middle-class northern’ accent.

@PhaseShift – yes, it would make sense that the producers of that period would ask  an actor to alter their genuine Australian […]

@Arkleseizure

I’d certainly agree with you on all points. I mentioned a couple of points about stories in the Sixth Doctor era I hated, and Saward was responsible. In an era so misconceived, I really should […]

@Arkleseizure Ah yes, forgot about that one, flying sharks an’ all. So 3 out of 7 (I think) not set on Earth.

@Arkleseizure

By the way, why did they keep doing this? Doctor Who, at least then, was supposed to be episodic. Another sign, I suppose, that when they were making the early home videos, the BBC just didn’t […]

@SatsumaJoe Hurt Doctor as Set

Yes quite possibly. Or perhaps every dark thing in the universe now has a little bit of “dark Doctor” in it.

@Arkleseizure Love the oxbow lake thought – trapped in a “bubble […]

Perhaps that focus on 10 going to 11 was significant after all.

@Arkleseizure Yowza?

@ScaryB you bad, bad person – you have given me serious attack of the Sunday giggles via your post over on The Guardian – fish biscuits indeed – you know whereof I speak 🙂

@Arkleseizure Welcome to the sofa!

Owwwwhhh! Our counter has reached 100 members (sorry only a virtual “Well Done” as prize for our 100th member). Welcome new people. I recognised @Galactus from the blogs of course and saw @arkleseizure who I […]
