Oooh I’ve not used the music thread before, here goes.

I was out on Sunday evening seeing the David Bowie exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum. All the day tickets were sold out weeks ago, but they’d […]

Been out this evening and just got back to find everyone hiding behind the sofa.

In light of the potential horror of actual spoilers, I’m not sure if Dan should do the normal speculative run up to the end of […]

Re: chess

Even I was thinking Fenric and I can’t remember the original series very well (all picked up from my fellow enthusiasts here).

Had a peep over on the Grauniad and this week it’s […]

@Timeloop

Oh the ‘He Said She Said’ is fine, stay away from the BBC trail which will be playing on the main channels (as opposed to the red button).

@pedant, @bluesqueakpip & @thommck

It was the trail I meant which came on just after the Star Trek thingummy.  It seemed to give quite a bit away, what with the voice over and all.

However if the Moff says […]

WTF?

Did you all see the preview of the series finale which just played on BBC2?  *shakes fist* Well I might as well give up speculating since it just told you who Clara was…

@miapatrick

Aaah, the lovely Bentham.  Unfortunately his head is no longer on display *adjusts wig* as some students pinched it during rag week.  They got it back but have put it out of harm’s way.  For gothic […]

@blenkinsopthebrave

I knew all those years at art college weren’t wasted.  Who’d have thought when I graduated all those years ago that I’d be able to use my skills on the Doctor Who forum blogs by fashioning a […]

@haveyoufedthefish & @bluesqueakpip

My fetching wig and top hat are held on the same way as Frankie Howerd’s ‘hair’ and the occasional wig he’d stick on top of that.  Either that or by the power of […]

@Miapatrick
Not wishing to be a pedant *puts on pedant’s wig and struts about* but

regarding Victorian display- there really was, including very grotesque arrangements including baby skeletons holding preserved […]

Just a quick post before beddie-byes….

It was a fun episode, agreed the lobster was a bit of a let down but hey you can’t have everything.  Things which occur:

1) I thought the petrified people in the jars […]

I’ve just finished reading ‘Summer Falls’  (only a couple of quid on the Kindle) and there are a number of themes in it which crop up in this series.  Not going into any details so as not to spoil it for others […]

…just rewatched the episode to hoover up any clues and spots I may have missed.  One thing which occurred, bringing us back to the fairy tale/story telling idea is that three brothers/sisters is a familiar trope […]

…it’s taken me an hour and a half to get through all the above, haven’t bothered with the Grauniad of course (for nesting and moaning minnie reasons).

I’ve not watched the episode again yet, just off to do so […]

…bit late to the party but finally had time to watch it and it was great.  Two corkers in a row.  The toasted Clara was even creepier than the ‘ghost’ last week.

Went onto the Grauniad and it was full of […]

…Hmmm *thinks* Fishenelly not quite as snappy as Chickenelly….

Besides, unlike here, I don’t think the Grauniad lets you change your name.  You might have to open another account.

Re: early closure of the Grauniad thread

That is odd, as @Phaseshift posted over there on another Who thread, the commenting periods are getting shorter and shorter.  It’s almost as if we’ve got a mole working […]

…it’s taken me ages to read all the above, however it’s given me time to cogitate on some of my theories which (I admit) are a bit different to everyone else’s.

First of all *chucks a figurative bucket of […]

@juniperfish

what do you mean, still “clinging on” to the bow-ties theory  <glares glassily out of fishy dalekising eye-stalk>

Well it has been three series now… *ducks down and hides behind sofa*
