I was thinking much the same thing. It may be a different thing to see it on screen though. Also it might develop and change very quickly (Matt Smith’s first tweed jacket was binned after his first story…).

I can’t say if similar coats are available on the high street. (Weirdly) An unofficial coat appeared almost immediately. @craig…[Read more]

Bearing in mind what usually happens at this time of year, don’t forget to put a shilling in the meter…

@karenmarie – it’s usually pretty instant as far as I know, add it to “profile photo”.  Our Emperor in Chief (aka Head Geek), @Craig will advise 🙂

Me and Mum are waving hello to you all the way over and above in Canada. After Dad and I visited Adelaide which didn’t have humidity and even when it was 35 it felt like 25 Celsius, made me seriously think of living in South Australia or going somewhere colder. Dad used to walk the ‘beat’ in the London Met and says “get orf…[Read more]

A very happy Christmas to all my fellow Whovians.

Personally I can’t wait to hang with the first again, I’m going to shed a tear or two of goodbye to the magnificent twelfth… and I really can’t wait to meet the thirteenth. (Will be timeshifting tho, so will catch up with you all in a couple of days (NO internet for me till then!!)).

I can’t…[Read more]

Merry Xmas everyone!

Hope all of you are able to enjoy time away from the daily grind and spend it doing something special.

I’ll probably be watching the episode on the day, but will probably rewatch it before making many comments.
Thanks again to @craig for maintaining this place and thanks to everyone for reading, posting, discussing and…[Read more]

@craig It looks like that was some office party eh. I have looked and felt like that a few times. Thank you for the pic and for the site and have a nice and comfy Christmas.

Love it @craig.

@fatmaninabox Nice to see you about again. We have missed you.

@Craig, We have indeed been honoured. Seems like you might be needing a very big stick,, I noticed that a dodgy post was quickly disappeared recently, maybe the one in question.

Cheers

I love Russian Trolls. I’ve always been fascinated by the way they fit so neatly inside each other.

Oh wait… My mistake. That’s Russian Dolls

@craig Yikes!  No one is safe from the trolls anymore…

@craig:

All ready and armed Sir! if the Russia

If the russians get hold of the BBC, heaven help us.

Missy

@craig  OOOoooohhh, wow!  We’re on the map of international Trollery, are we?  What an honor!  Prepare to repel boarders . . .

Saw it this afternoon and have to say that I was left not exactly loving it either. Definitely preferred Rogue One. It’s too long for starters definitely. And there’s a few nonsensical plot moments. It’s a shame because it does go out of its way to correct some of the bloodline supremacist nonsense that had crept into Star Wars lore and…[Read more]

The DVD has the animated version as standard, and the stills reconstruction as an extra. Right decision, I think. Having watched both, I found that the animation was a much better continuation of the story, while the stills/ video reconstruction was of mainly historical interest. It is, as @Craig says, fascinating to see the remains of Hartnell’s…[Read more]

The Big Sick is definitely one of the gems of the year.

Interesting to hear your thoughts on Last Jedi too. Hearing wildly conflicting reports on it. Some love it. Some hate it. Will probably check it out next week though have to see I am feeling a little bit of Star Wars fatigue at the moment. I wonder if Disney’s production line…[Read more]

The special effect for the spaceship formation looks suspiciously like a black backcloth with holes cut in it, mounted on a circular frame so they can turn it round, then backlit.

William Hartnell isn’t in this episode at all; his stand-in is playing ‘collapsing Doctor’. That’s why we don’t see the face. It was Acute Bronchitis, it seems, and he…[Read more]

ah, cheers @craig – I’ll take a look after its all over (in case of trivial spoilers!)

😉

While watching this episode, I thought to myself how shouty it was (perhaps the first one too).
Then I was pondering on my way home tonight, how angry Cutler is (as is the Doctor to be honest).
And now I’m wondering if this will be mirrored by Cutler’s…[Read more]

Let us not forget Arlo Guthrie’s Alice’s Restaurant

@craig I always knew we were in good hands and thank you so much for Tenth Planet. You are obviously excellent at what you do and 4th place shows it.
