@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

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]

@craig

Opening it up for comments when it screens on TV works for me. And, as always, many, many thanks for keeping the site going for all these years.

@Craig yes on NFlix’ The Crown. Fagan was stunning. And the very last ep was VERY Who. The hubby is not a monarchist but there were almost tears. Clare Foy & Matt Smith were superb.

John Woodvine (Dangerman) was brilliant also.
• David Annen from An Adventure in Space & Time.
•Tim Bentinck (a bit of a Who legend)

@craig

A Christmas wish:

Would it be possible for you to create a forum page for “The War Games”? Given the interest that the new colourised version has sparked on the site, I think there might be a lot of interest in a discussion of both versions. Indeed, there already is but it is, somewhat confusingly, over here on the “Doctor Who News” page.

@craig @blenkinsopthebrave     Merry Christmas! We are halfway out of the dark.

My day was a lunch bag let down after sickness prevented my family from coming over. They were worried that we might get sick so we have postponed till new years. When I watched the episode I remembered how scared I was that I would get Covid and be in the hos…[Read more]

@craig,

I revere you as our wise Emperor but, a lowly vassal, I confess that I rather enjoyed it. I take on board all your points, but I responded to it from the perspective of someone who has just experienced loss. I certainly felt that it went on for too long, but one of the things that captured me was that I saw it as a sweet and moving…[Read more]

@craig – sorry to bother you, but a ‘drnikhilmehta’ just did an elephant-sized dump of cancer spam in ‘Companions Past and Present’.   May I suggest amputation?

@craig Just a heads-up: Looks like a couple of spammy posts in The Winchester.

@anonymous I think it’s you who have missed the point it’s because @craig has kept topic  creation under his control it has in the main kept trolling by unsavory persons under control. He’s created topic threads  that cover most areas of conversation. He’s even created areas where non Who topics can be discussed. If we had a free for all for threa…[Read more]

@janetteb I second that. I have always been impressed with how well managed this forum is. The rules encourage members to be respectful and stay on-topic. Many other forum administrators would do well to take a page from @craig‘s book.

@craig Just saying,, this forum is the best managed of any I have ever been a member of and is still going strong after ten years which is remarkable so the rules hold up well.

Thanks Craig for your amazing work

and cheers

@adrian1 I could be wrong, but I don’t think we forum members can post new threads. Rather, we reply to existing ones created by @craig. So you might search the forum for the thread most suitable to your topic.

@adrian1

Welcome.

Message @craig and he’ll be able to advise.

@ps1l0v3y0u, @dentarthurdent, @mudlark, @nerys, craig,

Regarding PR, we all have different experiences, depending on the voting system we grew up with. In Australia, for instance, it operated in tandem with compulsory voting, and as such, worked quite well IMO. Would it work as well in the UK or Canada? perhaps not. Then there is the question of…[Read more]

@mudlark @dentarthurdent @blenkinsopthebrave @nerys @craig

What do we have?

Starmer’s government seem to acknowledge the limitations of their mandate, which is awfully humble of them. But they already sound a bit like a man trying to get out of a straight jacket. This hole is not going to be scaled by some Johnsonesque wheeze or flim f…[Read more]

(@craig Thanks for the Jonathan Pie piece. Brilliant. Mind you, looking at the final results, it would seem that the Primord Party, led by the Primord-in Chief, Farage (who apparently wants the young men of Britain to emulate Andrew Tate) got more than 4 million votes. And remember, one of the characteristics of the Primords was not to kill, but…[Read more]
