I will third @Blenkinsopthebrave‘s top two items; an appearance for Ian and the return of River. I also want an appearance of Unit and the Paternoster Gang. I also want Orson Pink to be explained and to find out what became of the Toy Soldier. (Would rather like Orson to become a Tardis traveller too, at least for the odd episode.) I also second…[Read more]

@ScaryB @blenkinsopthebrave @Whisht @Juniperfish @Barbaralefty @Spider @pedant @fatmaninabox @jimthefish @phaseshift

Thank you all, and apologies to you all (and anyone else who got a PM). I’ve deleted the offending user. It always seems to happen when I’m out! Just got home after a night out with my brother (first since we fell out over Scottish…[Read more]

Thank you @FatManinaBox 🙂

@Juniperfish – A 2015 Who Wishlist? Great idea

I second @Blenkinsopthebrave‘s suggestions –

1. An appearence by William Russell (that more than anything).

2. The return of River Song.

And hi fives to @Whisht for a January special – I think that’s probably being greedy, but we deserve it haha. An extra couple of…[Read more]

@Craig @ScaryB @Whisht @Blenkinsopthebrave

Yes, I also received a PM – web fishing of some kind. But this fish shall not be caught! 🙂 <looks for squashed chocolate treats behind the cushions>

@bluesqueakpip Whenever in the UK I get the feeling that the island is sinking under the weight of humanity which is not entirely untrue as the south is sinking but not because of humans. I do understand the ban on fires. Overpopulation impacts upon quality of life, something which I think more governments need to consider. (Even in an…[Read more]

I would vote for more BG Who. (provided it wasn’t 6th Doctor. Watching one story was quite enough.) I agree with @Blenkinsopthebrave ‘re Torchwood. It would be equally as much a slog as watching 6th Doctor. I do like the suggestion that we watch some of the incomplete stories, more hard work than the complete ones so the added incentive is useful…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave

Personally, I would love to go back and rediscover some of the lost fragments of early Who.

I think we have time for both. 🙂

or as @Blenkinsopthebrave said

But then we realise (perhaps because we become parents and see the wonder of Santa though the children’s eyes, or perhaps because we re-connect with the small child lurking inside of us all) that Santa (and the Doctor) is something worth believing in again. Even though we know it isn’t “real”.

Cheers

I’ve been thinking about @blenkinsopthebrave ‘s post about it just being Clara’s dream- yes and no. Yes a lot
of the details fit but no because at the end @Bluesqueakpip pointed out that Clara still needed real rescuing from the Doctor. So now I’m theorizing that it was more than just Clara having a kooky dream. Also it may have even been the…[Read more]

@Blenkinsopthebrave

But if that is too straight-forward an explanation, then you could also see Clara as the audience. In fact, all the companions, in their own way, are representitive of the audience for the show–they have their Doctor, who they travel with, until they wake up from the dream, and find other interests. Sort of like when we b…

@purofilion, what no entendre? Aw, just give us one! 😉

Ahem, but to keep things strictly on topic, I agree with @blenkinsopthebrave. It’s not that I’m not a fan of the bonkerising, but I think there is plenty of scope for it within series, while allowing the Christmas special to stand alone, a bit anyway.

On the other hand, what *are* we going…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave Well, while New Who gives many nods to the Classic Who by quotations, I really think that it should do much more and bring characters back as well. And while Moffat would need a very good reason to bring a character like that, there could always be that he does? I’m sure he would have a very good reason to do just so (which I…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave – I like that idea a lot too especially since Clara could have gotten the idea
of the dream crabs from the dream patches and why her dream starts from the volcano place since
it is where she had her fall out with the Doctor. ok then- I’m really good now! Interesting list
she dreamed up for Shona [if it was actually Clara’s…[Read more]

@IAmNotAFishIAmAFreeMan and @blenkinsopthebrave – Thanks ! All very useful info and much appreciated
but nope! — its just going to be all grief and torment for me 🙁 lol !

I got 4, which I’m quite pleased with. @blenkinsopthebrave– I hate to think what you’d have to answer to get Colin Baker. That made me laugh though :).

And, hi everyone. I have been lurking, but also moving, and am temporarily Of No Fixed Abode. Somehow Christmas has crept up on me, had to make a shockingly last minute booze run and- two days to…[Read more]

I got 11, which makes me very happy. Thanks for the link @JimTheFish, I have passed it on to some of my Who friends.

@blenkinsopthebrave – personally, I would love to see both/either River and/or Jack back, preferably both.

@JimtheFish @Craig @Blenkinsopthebrave @BarbaraLefty @JanetteB @Whisht @Lisa @Bluesqueakpip @FatManInABox

I got the tenth – amusing, because I think he’d get on my nerves in actuality, a lot more than eleven or twelve…

Happy Solstice to everyone on the Who forum! Winter solstice for those of us in the Northern hemisphere – so I raise a c…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave I tried being contrary and answered everything mostly the opposite of what I felt and got the 6th Doctor! “You’re after a slower pace of adventure with a Doctor who is not only arrogant and rude, but will probably try to strangle you at some point. Well done?”

@Blenkinsopthebrave    Yes! Good call, so much fun.

@purofilion    The Arbutus household tends to default to the usual suspects at Christmas time. We have a big collection of dvd’s that we dip into every year. One that we never leave out is The Bishop’s Wife, which also has Monty Woolley, along with Cary Grant, David Niven, and Loretta Young…[Read more]
