Is it just me or is Ncuti Gatwa just a little bit more of his native Scottish now.

Anyway, please go bonkers with the theories.

I have also started a discussion about when I should now open comments on the new episodes which you can find here, and welcome your comments /…[Read more]

Hi all,

As some of you probably know, the first episode is already on iPlayer for those who just can’t wait. Which is probably most of us. I dunno if it’s also available already on other streaming services around the globe.

But I decided I would wait until it airs on terrestrial television tonight before opening it to comments.

Is this a good…[Read more]

Well, after a fun day and a few drinks, I got to watch it. And I have to say I didn’t like this one at all. Not really one bit. It seemed like an idea in need of heart and character.

We hardly got to know Joy beyond cliched heart-plucking lines (I hate those). There was something there but it needed much more development. Moffat has written…[Read more]

Just posted this morning, for those who may be interested. The Doctor Who panel from Comic Con 2024.

Hi @adrian1

There is a reason. This isn’t Reddit. If we allowed users to start their own topics we would have a million topics with only a few comments, or none. It would be a mess.

This was started by commenters on The Guardian’s Doctor Who reviews. The Guardian posted a review and people commented. We tried to keep that model so that the site…[Read more]

Ha, I did see those pics. I was 12 at that time, but I remember those days

On a side note. I went to school with Alan Rankin’s sister, my mate went out with her for a brief period. Used to go round to her house and met Alan a few times. He had a massive record collection.

For those who don’t know, Billy McKenzie and Alan Rankine…[Read more]

I thought this was fun from the satirical news reporter character Jonathan Pie.

It’s a summation for The New York Times. It’s kinda how I feel.

For all those not in the UK who are interested – and even for some who are in the UK but want to avoid traditional media, I can suggest two channels on YouTube.

A Different Bias will be covering the exit polls at 10pm UK time. He’s very good.

The description for this small virtual pub, this little corner of the site is:

“Somewhere for chat about news, politics, sport etc. Avoid if it’s not for you.”

No need to apologise for any talk about your political leanings.

All comments are welcome. If you are a Dalek, cool. Hopefully most of us are n…[Read more]

Just for all the Brits. I stuck this up in my window at the weekend. It’s quite a busy road. Hundreds of people and cars pass by every day.

Might make a difference. Don’t be apathetic. Every vote counts.

And the best tactical voting site I have found is https://stopthetories.vote/

Just put your postcode in.

Don’t you think they look tired?

I just binged watched season 3 of “The Bear” this weekend. And it was amazing.

And this might sound weird, but hear me out. My cousin watched Season 1, episode 1 and then gave up. Too much shouting and anger by dysfunctional people was kinda her take.

But season 3 episode 6 is a flashback episode for one of the characters,…[Read more]

Following on from my last post, I just imagined a scene where the Doctor tricks Sutekh into bringing Kate back to life. So we all learn Sutekh can bring death to death.

Kate then sees all her colleagues as dust.

And then, knowing what he is about to do for the whole universe, the Doctor has to apologise to Kate and say to Sutekh “Kill her…[Read more]

I was thinking about stories this morning. As some of you know I used to work in the film industry and did script analysis. Before that, film (especially scriptwriting) was my MA.

The simplest explanation I ever read for plotting a film, and the one that stuck with me the most, was this:

Get your character(s) stuck up a tree. Throw rocks at…

After a long day, and then a long evening feeding people, I’m now commenting after 1am.

My initial thoughts are just that, that was okay, I suppose. It had some nice emotional beats to pluck at the heartstrings. But it didn’t make much sense to me.

Loved the first 10 minutes. I wondered where they were gonna go from there. But the resolution…[Read more]

As this is a bit of fun. I was watching Tom Baker and I realised I’ve kinda copied his style. I just need a scarf.

I volunteer feeding the homeless and those in food poverty every Friday and Sunday night. The organisation is called Streets Kitchen. We do about 100 hot meals a night. Plus sandwiches, pastries, bread and hot drinks.

I did their…[Read more]

Cheers @blenkinsopthebrave Enjoy.
