My other thought was how little computers had progressed in the later centuries 😀

@whohar how did the Earth host Rylan get there if the Earth is gone

I thought that, and indeed how did graham norton get there – the scavenged from the rubble line was a bit thin

As for the delta wave, was that not going to be broadcast via the song contest link?

They certainly pressed the constant mavity lines hard…

@whohar good spot with the child credits…

As the current doctor remembered the bet to win abena, but it was in the jo martin timeline, does that mean we are in the alternate timeline now?…

Very interesting theory on Facebook Dr Who Classic about Mrs Flood being Kamelion, written by Faith Kelly/Dougie Simpson

@whohar if they did explain how joy got the bomb, then I missed it as well…

I enjoyed it… mostly.
I lost my wife in the tailend of COVID, so I was actually able to be with her at the end, but none of the rest of her family were, so I found that part a bit heartwrenching.
Other than that, I thought it was fun. Im afraid that I guessed the punchline as soon as he opened the briefcase. Not sure how the managed to exist in t…[Read more]

@miapatrick flood shouldnt be susan, but must be linked to time lords in some way, because the first time she appeared she didn’t recognise the Tardis when she first sees it (“who dumped that in the middle of the street”) but recognises it as a Tardis when it dematerialises. By the same argument, she shouldn’t be the Master or Rani.

Hmm… very emotional, but the unwinding of time seemed a bit ‘how the hell we going to undo this, oh well, lets just do it’.

Really loved this episode, and the wild comments. Keep them coming.

seems to me that all the clues were there in relatively plain sight for once (i must reread the tom baker episodes) – a bit of a change for RTD, and far more satisfying than the ‘how were we supposed to know that’ solutions.
mind you, still another 50 minutes to go…

Not sure what I thought of this. Fun but silly. Didnt waste much money on CGI – Villains were a return to ‘man/woman in a mask’ .
Interesting that the Doctor again cried – this, like Susan Twist, is becoming a regular event.
Note that Emily appeared to be a heroine and turned into a villain – discussion point, have all the episodes had either a h…[Read more]

@ubik But are these inmates of Finetime Space Babies grown up

yes, I wondered if there was a connection?

@miapatrick I like the ‘bug’ suggestion. Very clever 😀

@juniperfish re mrs flood being Ruby, someone mentioned a few weeks ago, that mrs Flood didn’t recognise the Tardis when it appeared, but realised it was a type of tardis when it dematerialised.

Another amazing episode. Really played with your emotions as Lindy turned – actually made me very sad. As mentioned above, Ricky’s character was so against expectations.
re the series arc, I don’t think there was anything new (apart from another appearance by Ms Twist). I wonder if this is another episode filmed whilst Ncuti was filming Sex Edu…[Read more]

An interesting comment made by a friend. Why didn’t Milly go find Tennant Dr Who? 😀 Kate Lethbridge ought to know where he was…

That has to be one of the best episodes for a long time – almost had me hiding behind the sofa.

loving the comments –  re susan twist, as someone said, she was the face of the ambulance, but I dont think anyone has mentioned she was also in one the crew videos in Space Babies, so Ruby has seen her at least twice.
Wasn’t sure if I missed so…[Read more]

Brilliant episode! A good dig at holy wars – interesting comment about almost all wars have been about religion.

Quick scan of the comments, nobody seems to have latched onto inability to identify the next of kin. last line of the show was from a poem by philip larkin.

Sorry, too much toilet humour, and not enough story.
