@craig Just a heads-up: Looks like a spammy post in The Winchester.

To all my fellow Whovians,the tall and the small , I just wanted to say “Well done, Well done everybody, we are half way out of the dark”

I wish you peace and calm and good health. I hope you stay safe and happy and that life treats you well. Thank you all for giving me another year of good conversations about our favourite Doctor with a special…[Read more]

Hi Declan,

Not much to add to the advice and support offered by the lovely people here (@ps1l0v3y0u, @juniperfish, @craig, and of course Grandma @winston ).

However, it does seem like we are online at the same time quite alot, (Maybe even same time zone), so feel free to reach out if you need a chat, and I’ll try to respond in a…[Read more]

@ juniperfish @craig

+1 to that suggestion.

Sneaking out of work briefly to wonder whether a 6oth Anniversary “What’s Your Favourite Who Series/ Story/ Episode from 60 years of Who” topic might be nice @craig for Yuletide? Seeing as the BBC has kindly made so much of the back catalogue available on iplayer at present…

@scaryb @jimthefish @craig @phaseshift

just to add my thoughts on the sad loss of Ian Gibson.
And to echo Jim’s plea that we put Mick McMahon into some sort of protective space.

(but not an iso cube)

Gibson’s flowing lyrical lines were so powerful for me when I saw them in 2000AD.
It created an environment and characterisation that couldn’t…[Read more]

@craig – just to say I’m more than happy to help in terms of bouncing ideas off, financial contribution etc.

Not that I can have done a better job, but I know what goes into making sites so I’m happy to help at least in the ‘thinking’ part.
And happy to help financially.

@scaryb @jimthefish @craig

Gutted to hear that myself. If anyone doesn’t know about the impact Halo Jones had on Andrew Cartmel’s run on Doctor Who can I post this link to the blog on 2000AD I wrote back when we were doing retrospectives?

2000AD Doctor Who (Gridlock edition)

Not quite sure where to post this – @Craig, @JimtheFish, @Phaseshift feel free to relocate it.

I know there are a good few Ballad of Halo Jones and 2000 AD fans in our little group, and I just wanted to mark the sad news today of the passing of artist Ian Gibson, after a long battle with cancer. Pat Mills tweeted it out earlier, but it’s now been…[Read more]

I watched this too late after too many beers to trust myself to get all my thoughts down but I will say this: going head to head against Tennent and NPH (who I’m surprised didn’t actually do his own vocal) and Tate, Ncuti Gatwa burst into this episode with beautifully energetic charisma. Stunning debut.

now I’m going to do the mature thing and Go…[Read more]

This is interesting. On the commentary to this episode you have RTD and Phil Collison on talking and suggesting this ‘biregeneration’ has echoed back through all the other regenerations.

I’ve had a go at transcribing:

RTD: So then, the whole timeline bi-regenerated. Sylvester McCoy woke up in a drawer in a morgue… and Jon Pertwee woke up on…[Read more]

@craig

It’s almost like RTD can never let David Tennant go

@juniperfish

I think you’re right @craig, that RTD can’t quite ever let Tennant go. But honestly, what’s not to love about that?

I honestly don’t think it’s that controversial to be honest but I think it’s bound to be read by some as a lack of faith in N’Cuti. They have Tennant in rese…[Read more]

OK, a lot to process. Totally agree with @craig that RTD2 cannot let Tennant go. Am really hoping what we just saw does not lead to a Marvel-isation of Who, but we will simply have to wait and see.

Loved the idea that humanity put itself in danger of destroying itself due to the invention of television. I liked that immensely.

Off to give it all…[Read more]

Bi-generation? In his knickers?

Ncuti’s Doctor is as charmingly full of charisma as I knew he would be. He’s going to eat up the role.

I suppose the bifurcated regeneration is the Marvel-isation some were worried about, in that, should Tennant-Doc want to get back in his bi-generated TARDIS (and take Marvel’s money) there’s no reason why paralle…[Read more]

@craig   Thanks for your efforts on this site  (I bunged a small donation towards the kitchen as a token appreciation)

@craig –

No problem at all. Tis the season and all that … besides it’s damn cold out there at the moment….

@craig — that is indeed really great and worthwhile. Donated.

@craig That’s brilliant – times are indeed horrendous – the Doctor would be proud of you 🙂 (donated)

@craig I would just add to @juniperfish (and welcome back too) request to keep the old threads, to ensure that the episode discussion threads especially remain accessible for future comments. Another site I visit recently did a big upgrade and now all the older posts are locked which is a great shame.

Cheers

Janette

@craig  – I know absolutely nothing about back-end web design, but please let us know if we can help e.g. a crowdfunder if funds are needed? Sounds like a good idea to do it in the fallow period between the specials and before the start of Ncuti’s run proper.

I suppose I’d say – keep the archived threads of old, if possible, and keep the tag…[Read more]
