This is bizarre!

I watched the resulting clip on YouTube today, by the way, @kirbysocker. So funny and very well done. As somebody who studied film and television at university, I find it fascinating how TV Shows such as the one you work on have been able to adapt to the…[Read more]

I’ll never forget the first time I lost someone I was very close to – my Granddad in 2007. He shared a lot of the same interests as me, and I…[Read more]

Murray Gold, what can one say? Such a loss to the series.

Certainly was. Seguna Akinola is great, but he’s no Murray Gold.

Latest Britain’s Got Talent was brilliant. So much talent in one episode. Loved Dev the singing Devil, and the Attraction-style aquatic animals performance troupe was so impressive! Going to be hard to call who wins when they can eventually do the…[Read more]

Where I am in Scarborough, people seem to have been sensible. My Mum said she saw some suspiciously…[Read more]

An aside, one of the costumes worn by Madame Pompadour was made for the Fifth Doctor story, Black Orchid.

I didn’t know that. That’s an interesting little fact.

 

Stay safe and sane everyone!

 

Ah. Now that’s the hard part!

They just reopened the beaches (with physical distancing rules in place, of course)

What? Really? That seems a bit risky. In Scarborough we’re telling all tourists to stay away from our beach. In fact, we’re telling them to stay away full-stop! As are Bridlington and Whitby.

I meant to add, that the scene where the Doctor say, “Time never forgets” then notices the board on the wall with Oswald C – was a Steven Moffat moment.

Yeah, that was a great moment. Still think they should have made it a Clara Oswald spin-off though, set during Series 8 and with Samuel Anderson as Danny Pink as the co-lead.

It’s been pointed out to me that was Rose says is “And Captain Jack Harkness has transported to the Sontaran home world”, meaning that perhaps he went willingly, perhaps as part of a mission.

Possibly. I’m picturing it as a Jack/Strax team-up.

I wonder if the modern show would be allowed such a departure from the usual tropes of the show?

Well the Torchwood episode Countrycide famously didn’t have an alien or non-human villain, so I’d say it is possible for Doctor Who post-2005 to do the same.

It’s 2018 and Jamie and Victoria are told, if they escape, to find a phone box.

Not the 2018 I remember!

I’m going to slap a fiver on the table and say that that scene will be viewed again, from  a slightly different angle, on Saturday.

Whoops, that was a fiver down the drain!

So exciting. Can’t wait to play the Switch one!

Maze Theory are announcing a new Doctor Who project tomorrow afternoon. It’s on their Twitter. The site won’t let me post the link for some reason.

So hope this is a standard videogame and not a VR one.

EDIT: So I removed a link from something I was trying to post, and now it has let me do it. It seems to be hyperlinks it doesn’t like for me.

I think it’s quite a strong year personally, although last night’s was pretty weak. I wouldn’t begrudge the majority who have gone through so far winning.

The Doctor’s Daughter episode reminds me a little of the BG , Tom Baker story, The Face of Evil.

The Doctor’s Daughter is so underrated. I really like that one, and how Jenny’s soldier attributes challenge the Doctor’s moral beliefs.

Those are some really vicious-looking scissors; I’m not surprised they later agreed the scenes where Susan threatens Ian and Barbara with them went a bit too far.

It’s to hope nobody is doing that when they get fed up of each other in lockdown…
