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

@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]

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

@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]

@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]

@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]

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]

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….)

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

@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]
