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…

[Charlie Cook @replies]

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 the past before it was formed though 😀

@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.

[Charlie Cook @replies]

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’.

[Charlie Cook @replies]

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…

[Charlie Cook @replies]

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 hero turned villain or villain turned hero?

[Charlie Cook @replies]

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

yes, I wondered if there was a connection?

[Charlie Cook @replies]

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

[Charlie Cook @replies]

@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.

[Charlie Cook @replies]

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 Education as most of the Doc appearances to camera rather than physical.

[Charlie Cook @replies]

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

[Charlie Cook @replies]

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 something about Marti?… why was she scared of him (and why did she stay?)

[Charlie Cook @replies]

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.

[Charlie Cook @replies]

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

[Charlie Cook @replies]

I’m afraid I’m not too impressed with the two episodes so far

 

in particular this episode. As someone pointed out the anachronisms should have started from 1925, so the Beatles would never have formed, having been influenced by Buddy Holly – perhaps that’s why they didn’t look anything like ‘our’ Beatles 😀

I am more intrigued by all the easter eggs being planted. Who is Harold? Love the Susan Twist spot, hadn’t seen that. I had noticed all the baby references. Is Anita Dobson coming back? Are all the stories going to be fighting the Pantheon?

Going to hang on in, plots look good on paper,  but they need to improve the actual stories.

[Charlie Cook @replies]

“… Some characters should not be messed with ( James Bond, Captain Kirk, Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Who and so on).”

 

Just being mischievous here, but Captain Kirk WAS a woman in one episode (although to be fair it wasn’t that great!) 🙂

[Charlie Cook @replies]

I am disappointed, but only because I was hoping it was going to be Pearl

[Charlie Cook @replies]

With reference to the earlier reference to Bobby in the shower, I shall be very dusappointed if that is the answer – especially as they have already had a ‘it didn’t really happen’ moment earlier, in the Monks episodes.

[Charlie Cook @replies]

@nick having just looked it up, my set was a Dalek tin not Tardis (that must be some other episodes), and the full series IS available on DVD

[Charlie Cook @replies]

@nick not sure if has been released on DVD, but I have The Chase on a set of Dalek videos released in a Tardis

[Charlie Cook @replies]

Apologies if I missed someone else saying this, but those of from the Original Series know that Nardole’s story about the Marie Celeste was incorrect – it was the Daleks travelling in a time machine that made everyone jump overboard 🙂

Opps! missed cut-and-paste – May be a reference to Sussex Vampyre. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Rat_of_Sumatra

Apologies if someone else has mentioned this but Whovians might like to visit earls court tube station on Google Maps. Street View of the blue box is illuminating 🙂

I’ve just joined after several months of being a lurker.

I like the idea of Clara being related to Susan.
