    Neither Hartnell or Troughton, for me, were the patrician authority figures that Pertwee or Tom Baker were

    No, I agree. Hartnell was certainly more of a rebel and Troughton the, as you say, […]

    Thanks @blenkinsopthebrave!
    I’ve been thinking about a theory as to who Bill’s mother was, and I think it makes sense.
    I think Bill’s mother is Jess Collins, of the DWM comic strip. Bill’s mother would have been a young adult around 1973, which is when the strips take place. Bill says that she looked a lot like her, and if you look at two photos…[Read more]

    @nerys and @pedant

    Certainly s3 of Broadchurch is a vast step away from the idiocy of s2 and back in the direction of relative quality but I still felt there were points where dramatic logic was replaced with the dramatic equivalent of loud and self-conscious whistling. Julie Hesmondaigh was consistently amazing though. Haven’t watched the finale…[Read more]

    There does seem to be an issue with vanishing posts – got a notification from @blenkinsopthebrave and the post seems to have gone walkabout (and not in the Jenny Agutter sense).

    Sorry for the delay…

    @pedant – I’m not surprised. Hope the dog’s OK.

    @missy – Oh(!) what a night!

    @phaseshift  – Yes! ‘It’s about time!’

    @blenkinsopthebrave – Thanks – It’s great to be back.

    @thane15 (& Puro) – Thanks for the welcome back. Hope you are both well.

    Howdy again to everyone else (too many too mention)…

    @lisa @blenkinsopthebrave

    My suspicion is that the Doctor has A LOT of influence at St Luke’s. 50 (or 70) years will get you that. Not many secrets you don’t know. not many kindnesses you can’t perform.

    In 1 of the episodes of the detective series ‘Lewis”  there was a college professor who’s Oxford rooms  were

    so grand I thought  ‘good grief Charlie Brown!” – those profs apparently get to have all kinds of special treats!

    Or maybe the Doctor has extended the TARDIS field outside of the TARDIS to make it appear like the room…[Read more]

    I posted this yesterday but it’s a ghost post so I post it now again.

    @whisht

    I think I will watch some episodes with 7th, I’ll start probably from those mentioned by @jimthefish. Thanks for that. It’s somehow refreshing to watch Doctor with completely different personality from last three Doctors, less emotional but at the same time more…[Read more]

  • ichabod replied to the topic The Pilot

    @nerys  @redlemons  I never cared much to re-watching DW — until the Moffat/Capaldi team took over.  That was the point at which I began suggesting to the people who were uncomfortable with or unable to connect with or understand S8-9 that they wait a bit, and then watch again.  That stuff was layered as fine cake (dark; probably bittersweet cho…[Read more]

    I think Moffat wanted people to spot them. The painting hangs in the background and thin circles as they are in the oryginal could be missed.

    @kharis the bust I’ve mentioned has a mane of hair and chubby cheeks. I think it’s Beethoven.

It’s somehow refreshing to watch Doctor with completely different personality from last three Doctors, less emotional but at the same time more expressive (I think it’s McCoys’s voice).

    I was no longer watching Dr Who by the time McCoy took over. I wasn’t even aware that he had. I happened upon one of his stories while travelling in the U.K. We were staying at a B&B just outside of Cardiff in fact. I was surprised to discover that he was quite good but did not see any more of his stories for a long time. When I did it was clear…[Read more]

    @blenkinsopthebrave:

    Now that was funny and very, very clever. My OH used to love watching this every week.

    I thought that he was an Australian and have since discovered that he was a New Zealander. At least he died doing what he loved.
