Been thinking more about how Sutekh managed to escape from the captivity of Horus (as in deity) as opposed to Horace (as in Rumpole) and turn up in 2024 London. In “Pyramids of Mars” the Tom Baker Doctor tricks Sutekh, who (as the Baker Doctor explains) does not understand time and does not take account of the 2 minute delay for radio waves to…[Read more]

@thane16 Many thanks, Puro!

After watching the reveal unfold, I couldn’t help but look back at my post on the BBC Spoilers thread on 13 June at 17.53. I want to assure you I do not write for RTD2–although, perhaps I should!

I have a couple of thoughts about how Sutekh escaped from the captivity imposed on him by Horace in order to return this t…[Read more]

@whohar, OK, that finale theory is pretty damn brilliant.

@whohar,

Yes,  Vancouver has its charms, but Vancouver Island, where we live, has a few more. Unfortunately, the BBC has shown no interest in filming Who here, so the local film industry is dependent on the dubious appeal of Hallmark movies.

@whohar

Love the above!  Indeed, Mrs Blenkinsop and I have been having a similar discussion that covers many of your points over a glass of wine. (And I hasten to add (on this international forum) that as we live off the west coast of Canada, the wine is being consumed at 6pm…

To respond to your Bonkers Theories:

1,2,3. No.

I think I read somewhere that both episodes would be screened back to back in selected cinemas on the 24th.

@Krathoon

The Rani. Hmm. Had not thought of her, but someone with a bright red fingernail did pick up the Toymaker’s gold tooth containing the Master at the end of “The Giggle”…

@whohar

Yes, agree entirely about alternate/altered reality. And still think music may be important. Or not.

I have been amusing myself by scanning the web for outlandish theories about what might happen in the two-parter finale. Most are just versions of Triad Technology, so I thought I would throw in the one thing I would love to see (and based on RTD2 saying that there will be some sort of reference to the period of the Pertwee Doctor).

I think it…[Read more]

@juniperfish

Could RTD2’s long-term plan be to bring the Timelords back? In fact, could he have decided to accept Chibnall’s eradication of the Timelords  in order to bring them back?

Well, I am not sure my conclusions to my previous post can match the excellence of the dinner.

Conclusion 1: Music is central to the season, and is central to whether or not Earth survives.

Conclusion 2: Ruby is associated with music in a way that makes her special (and potentially capable of saving humanity).

Conclusion 3: Ever since she ran…[Read more]

Random thoughts about what this episode might reveal about what is to come.

• Dates:  From “The Giggle” until now there have been some important dates: 1925 – When John Logie Baird recorded the first moving image and voice of Stooky Bill which would lead to television, and therefore, to “Doctor Who”.
• Music: What Stooky Bill utters is an A…

The addition of another ring on the Doctor’s hand at the end made me think of the discussion here on the forum  about the possible meaning of all his rings back in “The Church on Ruby Road”. Given his addition of the ring from Rogue, perhaps one of the other rings was from Houdini.

Like @craig, I can only imagine the craziness of the interwebs. In fact, I am looking forward to to this episode becoming part of the UK election coverage.

As someone who started watching the very first episode as a nipper back in 1964 (there was a bit of a gap before the show started on TV in Australia) it has been blindingly obvious  that the…[Read more]
