    Den of Geek has a nice article identifying as many as possible of the Who aliens fashioned in Rose 2’s Toys:

    Which Doctor Who Monsters Were Hidden Among Rose’s Toys and Childhood Drawings?

    I think they missed one though – top left in the dark corner, The Face of Boe, right?

    @craig  I have no suggestions except to keep it easy for computer illiterates like me to use. I think you did such a good job in the first place that I have nothing to say. Maybe what @dentarthurdent said would be good so no comments are overlooked. I am sure I will like whatever you decide to do.

    stay safe

  • Dentarthurdent replied to the topic Website comments (2)

    @craig    Yes, one suggestion.   Is it possible to make the list of ‘Recent Forum Posts’ on the homepage longer than 5, or maybe set it so it lists the 5 different forums most recently used?    Currently, with a little bit of chitchat between two people on, say, On the Sofa, they all point to the same forum and a post someone made yesterd…[Read more]

    @mudlark. Glad you put up pt 4  and good to see you. Last few days have been very hectic here with the usual Thursday Friday stuff and family at the weekend but finally getting a bit of time and a lot to catch up on.

    @ScaryB. Lovely to hear from you again. So nice to see all the “old faces” on the forum again (@craig and @jimthefish and more).…[Read more]

    @Missy

    When you say

    ….. some of you do analyse too much, just sit back and enjoy!

    it sounds as if you think analysis somehow spoils or detracts from enjoyment, which I assure is not the case.   As @craig points out, this forum was set up precisely to provide space for people who want to analyse, theorise and speculate, and in fact it is d…[Read more]

  • ScaryB replied to the topic The Star Beast

    @blenkinsopthebrave Seconded! Huge thanks to our mighty emperor @Craig, and Time Lords/Troll Bashers @JimTheFish and @Phaseshift (and every member who helps keep this a civilised space. Here’s to lots more congenial discussion and bonkerising.

    (T’other place is still running (with lovely Martin Belam having taken over the reins from the late Dan…[Read more]

  • blenkinsopthebrave replied to the topic The Star Beast

    @jimthefish I was thinking about how the wonderful @craig established this site all those years ago as an alternative to t’other place, which was full of angry trolls complaining about how Moffat had ruined their childhood or some such nonsense. And we managed to build a forum of thoughtful reflection and boundless enthusiasm for everything…[Read more]

  • JimTheFish replied to the topic The Star Beast

    Well, I enjoyed that a lot. It felt like big, proper Who and convinced me that Davies hasn’t lost his touch. This could easily have fitted in to one of Davies’ later seasons and was actually a damn sight better than some of the stories from that time.
    Tennant obviously looks a bit more, um, weathered since his last appearance, not that it mat…[Read more]

    Hello Everyone <waves, wearing a big scarf>

    Ooh I’ll have a jelly baby @Craig. It’s been a minute, but here we are – sixty years – what a wonderful Whovian life.

    I’ve just watched the new behind-the-scenes show Doctor Who Unleashed on I-Player and it was lovely to see RTD back in the saddle and supporting Yasmin Finney, talking about trans rep…[Read more]

  • JimTheFish replied to the topic Dr Who News (5)

    hello all. I can certainly have a go at putting a page up for The Daleks but if @craig has got an update in mind I wouldn’t want to interfere. (But if there’s anything I can do help, then do just give me a shout….)

  • blenkinsopthebrave replied to the topic Dr Who News (5)

    @jimthefish As a timelord, do you have the capacity to add a forum, or is it only our Emperor @craig who has that capacity?

     

     

  • Dentarthurdent replied to the topic Website comments (2)

    @devilishrobby  Oh yes, the ‘Recent forum posts’ are all this bloody Finnegan pest.   @Craig, I think your attention is required, if you would be so kind?   Along with banning this ‘Monica Williams’

    If it helps I’ll volunteer to look at every forum on this site and list all those polluted by this ‘Finnegan’ for your convenience, let me know…[Read more]

    @craig

    Erm I think Finnigan above may be either some kind of bot or spammer he/she seems to have posted nonsense posts in all categories

     

  • Dentarthurdent replied to the topic The Winchester

    So I just watched Doctor Who (the movie).   There doesn’t seem to be a forum for the Eighth Doctor  ( @craig – how about it? 🙂   so I’ll just post my very brief comments here.

    Interesting. This iteration of the Tardis console room is not bad, it has a definite Fu Manchu feel to it. It’s turned into a sort of Edwardian living room. But the cons…[Read more]

    @winston Yes, you have been having serious storms in your neck of the woods. Miraculously, we have been spared them here. Once again we seem to have been saved by being on the “warm” side of the Gulf Stream. Sometimes it doesn’t work in our favor (droughts, etc.), but this latest round of storms and the “Polar Vortex” passed us by. (By the way:…[Read more]

    @phaseshift   Wow!  Happy 10th anniversary to our forum. Thanks to everyone here for making it such a great place to visit and chat. Thank you also to @craig    for setting up the site 10 years ago and picking a day that is easy to remember. So happy 10th and a Happy Who Year to all you Whovians out there, where ever you happen to be. Next year…[Read more]

  • Devilishrobby replied to the topic On the Sofa 11

    Thank you @phaseshift and  our lord and “master” emperor  @craig without which this space would not exist. Btw given all news lately about the 60th anniversary, and though I have been a lifelong fan of TV Who  for some reason Beep the Meep seemed to have passed me by possibly because I never got the DW weekly magazine my local suppliers of comics…[Read more]

    As I’ve not been a regular for a while I thought it best to bring a gift. A brand new Sofa! This snazzy little number is from IKEAs kerplunk range. Enjoy! Oh, and…

    Best wishes to all on this Christmas Day here on Vancouver Island. Inside the Blenkinsop home the fire is on, the cats are sleeping, yours truly is sitting in front of the fire, while Mrs Blenkinsop has decided that today of all days is the day she is going to re-arrange the basement!

    @janetteb and to you! Yes, we’re doing well. It’s hot here but we’ve had no rain & compared with the flood peaks expected today in Victoria (??), I believe, we’re very grateful. I know flood warnings came 7 days ago with expected river peaks effectively at midnight last night. Not good at all. It either never rains, and there’s fires, or it floods…[Read more]
