@FallingForTwelve – Human Nature is one of my favourite new series stories for a lot of reasons (I’m a sucker for historicals for starters) but Tennant’s performance in it is definitely on of the major ones. He managed to differentiate between the human teacher and the Doctor so well – and those punishments he gave to the family were really…[Read more]

ConfusedPolarity replied to the topic The Time of The Doctor
@Blenkinsopthebrave – I reckon the Master could find a way through from the pocket universe if any Time Lord could, and he’d make a terrific adversary for the Capaldi Doctor. Just as long as he’s not down the John Simm route! Not that Simm wasn’t entertaining in his own way, but up against a cooler, steelier Doctor than Tennant’s I think the ch…[Read more]

Really glad they’ve confirmed another Sherlock series – even f it’s only three episodes long! Sunday’s was, for me, the best of the lot so far.
Honestly, Moffat and Gatiss are personally responsible for a good portion of all that’s worth watching on the BBC of late!

@Arbutus – I’m not at all averse to silliness in Doctor Who – Lord knows it wouldn’t be the show it is without it! It’s just that for me personally there was too much of Silly Eleven and not quite enough of Serious, which I agree Matt could do extremely well. It’s all a question of balance, and to my taste it got a bit skewed as Series 6 & 7 w…[Read more]

@ScaryB – my apologies if it came across as a sweeping generalisation; it was intended to be a specific statement of how this 44-year-old female feels! I’ve heard so many people stating that they find Matt dazzlingly attractive and thought – what? He don’t do a thing for me!
If I could figure out smileys, I promise I’d be using one t…[Read more]

@FallingForTwelve – Matt was a bit too puppy-dog for me (not to mention being far too young and unlined for a woman of 44 to find attractive) but Peter – well, I do like a man with presence, and he has that in spades!
Clara’s taken time to grow on me, but I do hope she gets a decent chance in the next series. She felt like a case of “brilliant p…[Read more]

@Oswald – welcome! Catching up in a months impressive stuff – ta takes some dedication! I’m fond of Matt’s Doctor – impossible not to be really -but I’m properly excited to see what Peter Capaldi can do.
@MonochromeDimension – Lucky you saved the disks!!! The Five Doctors was my first real introduction to the Second Doctor, I was 10 or 11…[Read more]

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of “oh B*******, we’re out of doors with a big blue box and a whole crowd of people, somebody with a smartphone’s going to notice that, aren’t they?”
I’d be insisting on a photo-shoot in studio five minutes before the official reveal – I reckon it’s the only way in this day and age!

@JimTheFish – That’s good to read, not that I really believed the Beeb would be stupid enough to pull the plug just yet.
Hopefully Moffat’s “we” is not of the royal variety and he will still be involved with Series 9. I’m also glad, despite the extended wait, that we’re going back to an autumn airdate. Childhood Saturday evenings with the c…[Read more]

ConfusedPolarity replied to the topic Companions past and present
@Brewski – I agree with you completely with Donna as a more recent companion: she was just in it for the adventure and the joy of travelling with the Doctor as a pal and I loved that.
Of the BG companions, well, Sarah Jane is the first I remember well, and will always have a special place in my heart. Intelligent young women with careers and a…[Read more]

I had a feeling something along those lines had happened with Matt – hopefully the mistake will have been learned from and there’ll be a proper, official reveal this time.

@thekrynoidman – I have that feeling about Capaldi as well. He’s a superb actor, a massive fan, and he’s got some pretty good writing talent behind the scripts. I may criticise Steven Moffat for being a bit over-ambitious at times (The Time of the Doctor suffered a tad from that in my opinion) but I general I like what he does with the show. I’…[Read more]

@ScaryB, I’m in full agreement about River. If Matt had stayed on I’d have been happy not to see her again, but a Kingston/Capaldi double-act, if only for one episode, is something I would really like to see. Add in a River who is more on the back foot as far as spoilers go, less sure of herself while the Doctor holds a few more of the cards – y…[Read more]

Hello! Room for another newbie?
I’ve watched pretty much every televised Doctor Who story since – well, since I was old enough to realise what a television is, I suppose! My early memories are of Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen – Sarah Jane remains my favourite companion to this day – but my all-time favourite Doctor is the Second and I’ve a s…[Read more]
