@thane16 Congratulations on your upcoming conducting job! Brahms is challenging, but mastering those pieces gives us such a thrill of achievement.

My father taught music in public schools until he switched gears to teach counseling and teacher education at the university level. He was primarily a high school band director, but early in his career…[Read more]

@devilishrobby

I must concur with @winston – Stay devilish!

Hoping for a great year for all in ‘26 with as much Who as possible.
@JanetteB have you had any access to the War Between Land and Sea (what an overblown title)? Have any of our UK or possibly U.S. & Canadian members seen the series/season?
I’ve heard Russel Tovey’s brill…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent Pleased to hear your father’s Leicas were ‘collectable’, it’s nice when that happens.

Yes, it is! That made me so happy, especially since a charitable organization we support benefited from it.

Happy New Year to you and all! @mudlark @winston @janetteb @ps1l0v3y0u @thane16 and of course @craig

@craig Thanks so much!

One other question: This is going back over a month ago. After I posted to the On the Sofa 11 thread, the thread disappeared from the list in the General Forum. I can see my post in my Activity, and if I click on that link I can see the thread (which has a number of newer posts, including one today). Any idea how to get it…[Read more]

@craig     Thank you, Emperor.   🙂

@craig  –   just to let you know, some pest calling itself Dylan joined a few days ago and immediately spammed half a dozen forums with links to  ??American baseball jerseys???  (together with some bland AI-generated ‘ ‘nice post’ comments)

@craig

The Flux is upon us. Sontarans, Daleks and Cyberbods

I see @craig‘s point, that it seemed a bit undeveloped. I’m reluctant to call it his ‘worst’ Christmas ep, I’d just say ‘least good’, and that only because his other Christmas eps were all very good (in my recollection). Except The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe. So, second least good 🙂

@winston Yes, I liked the way Anita calmly took…[Read more]

I have to agree somewhat with @Juniperfish‘s comment about the Doctor apparently zapping Omega with something that looks like a big gun, but I accommodated this into my head canon as it not being an actual gun but a force-generator, so its intent isn’t to kill Omega, just force him back into the Underverse! But it’s important that the Doctor fixes…[Read more]

@craig

I just posted onto the BBC Approved Spoliers thread. The post itself is fine but it didn’t appear in the Recent Posts on the homepage.

Thanks @craig that looks like it’s going to work.

French subtitles appear for Les Trois Docteurs.

@whohar, are your amazing powers of prediction the result of that very long time you once spent in the bath?

(you have to have been on this site from the time @craig set it up to make sense of the above sentence.)

Apologies to anyone I’ve missed off the list.

@mudlark

I’m still pondering the question of what could have turned the child Conrad into the thoroughly unpleasant and exploitative adult he became.

Yes, this aspect was a little underwritten, with just hints of abuse, and means we have to fill in the gaps. This is probably down to the episode run time. If Who was only on streaming, then it c…[Read more]

@devilishrobby @ps1l0v3y0u @craig

An enjoyable ep. A bit trippy and very meta at times. I liked the joke about Mr Ring a ding not having emotions as he was a two dimensional character

24th May is the airing of the penultimate episode.

I also had the same thought about the regen scene.

And, yes, I was also confused by how the Doc saw the…[Read more]

@craig. I rarely watch the episode when it first airs, (though I always check comments) so I am not perhaps in a position to comment but i think that as you are doing the work, do it when works best for you. I think we all appreciate what you do to keep this site running and all that you do for us crazy fans. Also congrats on the new job.

cheers

@ps1l0v3y0u @blenkinsopthebrave @devilishrobby @scaryb @craig

Eiffel Tower? I thought it was Blackpool Tower 🙂

I think the schwup is something to do with the reason that they can’t get back to Earth on 24th May – incidentally that’s the air date of the penultimate episode (“penultimate” from the old Latin meaning “the ep we all get excited…[Read more]

@craig

You get to walk past Pret a Manger! Every day! Fantastic!

Congrats on the new job, hope it’s all you hope it will be.

I get to watch Who at a now very civilised 5pm, but don’t have a burning desire to post immediately.

Opening after a terrestrial airing is a nice callback to earlier Who.

And, (as above, above, above), continuing thanks.

@craig    I will be happy whatever happens.

Congrats on the new job and getting to walk past the Tardis every day. What fun. Thank you also for this site. It is a great place to be.

stay safe

Well that was fun. 🙂

Not perfect, but a good season opener.

I liked the twist of it not being an AI problem but an AL(an) problem. I was getting creepy vibes off Alan in the opening but could have done with there being a bit more of it seeded thro the episode to fully earn the ending (without then having to make the connection quite so…[Read more]
