What are your favourite shows. You can tell us about them here. I’d be interested in sci-fi genre shows with 24 episodes a series you think would rate a 9/10.

In my opinion it’s currently mostly 9+ and occasionally a 10. Wouldn’t argue about a 24 episode series, but I doubt it’s going to happen 🙁

Why would the zero doctor be his greatest secret ?
For the same reason a future Doctor could be. But I still go back to Matt referring to him in the past tense. (And if you think we’re picky on here about grammar etc,…[Read more]

If he is a future Doctor, why does Matt refer to him in the past tense? (“He’s the one who broke the promise”)
Also “Count the regenerations…” If there is a Doctor Zero before Hartnell then Hartnell becomes the first regeneration rather than the first Doctor, so everything moves on 1 from what we thought ie 11 becomes 12. It works…[Read more]

@D12345 – that’s much clearer.
Thank you.

@d12345 Thank you.
I think I may have started the Doctor Zero theory with this post:

Either before the first Doctor or, as @Bluesqueakpip suggested, a Doctor who does not count as the Doctor so counts as zero.
And I wouldn’t focus too much on the number of…[Read more]

@Shazzbot That’s a pic of the wrong policeman! (from An Unearthly Child (with typical 60s chinstrap style))
@Wolfweed Love the pic of the 4 Doctors, even if they have made #1 look more like Bradley than Hartnell 🙁 Thanks for doing the composites – I’m still not convinced either way. There IS a passing resemblance to Hurt (if you squint at t…[Read more]

@d12345 I look forward to reading your posts… with paragraphs. You have some great ideas so it is a shame they’ve not been very well presented so far (to our English language eyes).
On English language forums, unless you are just posting one or two sentences, it is expected that you will break up your text into short paragraphs. Just like I did here 😀

@d12345 I have edited your last post just to add paragraphs. Do you not think it reads better?
You can do what you want, I’m not telling you what to do, but I can confirm that you’ll be ignored if you don’t split your text up. Just hit “Enter” a few times.
And Shazzbot didn’t call you a roach, she was just comparing you to a roach. It’s slightly…[Read more]

@d12345 I think you mentioned the words “redemption of the trolls”. 😉
I hope you will live up to that. You have made some good points but you are not expressing yourself well.
It’s not “my house, my rules”. Far from it. Everything goes here. I’m not telling you what to do. But I’d like to point out that your posts will not be read if they are…[Read more]

Languages are very different , for example we Croatians write this kind of way only in formal occasions
Yes, but this is an English language forum: our house; our rules
But more to the point, a paragraph break after “i undersand what you are saying.” would make you post MUCH easier to read.

@d12345 – you’ve done very well by providing good theories – so don’t blow it by insulting people.

It would be epically helpful if you would use spaces with punctuation. Your posts reading like a kid who has been given WAY too much sugar. I try to avoid being a grammar Nazi, but seriously: show some consideration for your readers.
A single space after ALL punctuation. Capital letters at the beginning of sentences.

@d12345 Thank you so much for fulfilling your promise! Love your theory. Me, I’m still hanging on to a Doctor Zero theory, but I like your thinking.
