@CraigNixon; @WhoGirl – I’m still watching The Musketeers; it’s an entertaining romp that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and that’s the kind of thing I need on a Sunday night with the terrifying prospect of Monday morning ahead!

A couple of episodes haven’t quite gripped me – I’d like more political intrigue and less…[Read more]

@CraigNixon I’m watching The Musketeers, I quite enjoy it, and it lightens up my dull Sunday evenings.
Every time I see Peter Capaldi I wonder if he knew he was the next Doctor when he filmed the episode…

I’m filling the sci-fi shaped hole in my life at the moment with ‘The Tomorrow People’ on E4. It’s ok, it’s been interesting enough to keep…[Read more]

@CraigNixon – I lived in Romania. Do you think that counts?

🙂

@CraigNixon – Yeah there’s at least five of us.

Thanks for the welcome anyhow. 😀

@CraigNixon Some girls here were on the Internet before it became the World Wide Web… 😈

[Eeeeh, I remember when I were a lass. We ‘ad ter do our own calculations in them days, with nobbut a piece o’ wood an’ a bit o’ clockwork to ‘elp us]
😀

@ScaryB Sorry for getting glitter in your fur and for getting you into trouble with our new overlord @FatManInABox – heh – but not that sorry – glitter is immutable 🙂 

@CraigNixon I miss Oswin Dalek myself – definitely my favourite Claricle. A gift to fan fiction at any rate.

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

@Bluesqueakpip – Undoubtedly

@CraigNixon – Nothing important 😉

My comment was more of a moan that the new YouTube comments format, with nesting, actively encourages trolling and gives it prominence. (Which no doubt works for YT by increasing the click rate).

OTOH, just ignore the comments threads* (and esp on the trailers, NotD etc  this…[Read more]

@CraigNixon – I think the Hartnell was the real Hartnell – but the colourisation and upgrading to HD from black and white and 405 lines was a bit tricky. They probably had a similar problem with Troughton, which is why he’s only seen in siloh … sillou… outline.

Sean Pertwee’s an actor, yes. He has a distinct look of his dad – with modern…[Read more]

@ScaryB and @CraigNixon The spidery thing could be a dual reference to the racnoss as per the tagged images, and also the spiders in the Pertwee story, Plant of the Spiders, which was what first came to my mind. Likewise the soldier, which I took to be a U.N.I.T reference but is identified as something else, (temporary break in transmission) could…[Read more]

Update on the 11 lives in a day theory –

Or it’s the last 3 regenerations in a day, with HurtDr (as either aged 8 or between 8 and 9) doing the thing that now needs resolved. Which keeps it all AG, doesn’t tamper with the earlier history. Unless HurtDr is, as @HTPBDET suggested, Doctor Zero – above still applies but in timey wimey very wibbly…[Read more]

Still jumping up and down this morning!

@Wolfweed – “…some will have watched it 180 times...” Whatever do you mean?!!  (Nice to see the trailer notching up the numbers on YouTube – 400k and 320k on the 2 official YouTubes)

@Bluesqueakpip Thanks for copying out the text – really helpful, and I agree on your pick-up of “impossible”

The point @Bl…[Read more]

@CraigNixon

“Timey Wimey Wibbly Wobbly” is a totally acceptable explanation – “mumbo jumbo” is just too vague

😆

Been wondering about the haircut too (for the reasons @Bluesqueakpip says) – ooh, a River farewell – that’d break hearts… OTOH River can have her farewell with Matt, but it doesn’t mean she can’t come back for series 8.  A younger than in the Library River could be off having adventures with Capaldi even as we speak.

🙂

@CraigNixon

I was…[Read more]

@CraigNixon Episode One ends when you see the first Cyberman (or what looks like a Cyberman – we’re not sure if it’s real yet) so you can stop live blogging after that 😀

Look forward to it.
