@craig

I knew from Broadchurch she was a great actress, but it was great to see her in a very different sort of role. After seeing that, I like her more than I thought I would. I’ll have to rewatch Attack the Block as well.

@jimthefish @pstrong

More jittery this time, because its all so new and because it might be easier to make the odd wrong…[Read more]

@jimthefish @craig

Just watched the adult life skills short. Thanks for discovering this. Its fantastic – a very warm and charming watch. Great acting too. Definitely a must watch.

I’ll watch the full film tomorrow.

@nick and @cloisterbell —

It’s true that we won’t really know until Xmas at the earliest what JW will be like as the Doctor one way or the other. PC’s Doctor, for example, was not quite what I was expecting but he still surpassed my expectations. I was dreading Matt Smith and he knocked it out the park in his first 20 minutes.

But as to JW…[Read more]

@craig— That’s a lovely little short too, isn’t it? I definitely prefer the full feature though and I’m really impressed that they managed to extend it without it feeling like a smallish idea that’s just been padded out. JW aside, I’m just surprised that I hadn’t heard of it before because it really gladdens my heart to see there is still a…[Read more]

@Craig

That was basically the 1986 version of YouTube or Forum comments. It’s all there gestating.

People wanting to see a crispy version of the vid can see it on The Ultimate Foe disc of The Trial of a Time Lord dvds…

@Craig  Chibbers must know that karma will catch up with him one day!!!

He tries to find a nice word to substitute for ‘boring’ but fails.

I always thought that this bunch were rather rude really. Poor Pip & Jane.

I wonder how many times this clip will be dragged out to play to Chibbers during his tenure?

‘Boring’

@craig— yeah, it’s a lovely little film and it’s what really sold me on JW when I watched it. Broadchurch proves she can do dramatic, Black Mirror proves that she can do SF and this proves that she can do quirky and humorous.

@craig— good stuff. Saves my typing fingers….

@craig – Oh how wonderful.  I am SO looking forward to just listening to her speak for the next 3+ seasons.

@jimthefish – I think it’s such a difficult balance between fan service and innovation.  I am certainly one of the first to get excited at a call-back to something I know (“Sontarans perverting the course of human history!”), but you are a…[Read more]

@craig

no problem 🙂

@mudlark @drben @holodeckguy @rorysmith

I agree with Craig. I do hope she uses her natural accent. Whilst it might not be banned in the way it once was, we hear far too few accents on TV (or at least that’s how it seems to me living in London)

Just accepted my <b>Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Humanities, First-class Honours </b>from the Open University. Six years, where I rescued in total 21 dogs with health or emotional issues (one of them is ‘David the dog’ in Coronation Street now), moved house (which meant keeping a house with eight dogs in it viewer ready, moving into temporary a…[Read more]

@craig — Just watched Adult Life Skills this week and it’s great. What’s more, JW is great in it too. Well worth a watch. I think some discussion of JW’s work is a great idea, though maybe we should just treat Broadchurch as one entity and people can discuss whatever aspects of it they wish to within that?

Personally, I think it’s too early for…[Read more]

Hi @ichabod

Loved your account of being at a convention and finding out about Whittaker’s casting at the end of the weekend.  Presumably it wasn’t a Who convention, or someone would have announced it there. It’s great to feel this delighted, isn’t it.

Like you, I am rather dizzy that the BBC really went for it. Even though all the hints had…[Read more]

@Serahni – ha ha – great list of all the ways Doctor Who has previously been “ruined”.

@Craig and @JimtheFish – Ugh – I’ve seen the headlines – The S*n has “Dalektable” and The Daily Fail has “Doctor Nude”. I’ve also seen “Doctor Whooters” doing the rounds on social media.

I hope the writers’ team trolls everyone hard and we find the new…[Read more]

@Craig @JimTheFish

Don’t recall Eccleston or Tennant getting this treatment when they were cast and both had similar roles that could have been cast up.

Oh the photos I could post… Oh the headlines I could write……..

@craig— yes, I saw that. Truly depressing. Makes me quite ashamed of my once-profession. Don’t recall Eccleston or Tennant getting this treatment when they were cast and both had similar roles that could have been cast up. Still, I’m sure (hope) that JW will have been braced for all this crap and it would have been discussed in detail behind the…[Read more]
