Whovians of any era are used to having to absorb change and should know by now not to rely on statements from the showrunner. I remember a friend of the “I saw the very first episode AND the repeat” ilk refusing to believe that Tennant could be replaced – but being open-minded…[Read more]

“The nice thing about life is however bad it gets, there’s always one option left – dying well.”

I wonder if the Doc is fully aware of something unavoidable steaming down the road towards him…

Maybe The Vault contains the future. That would be a worry.

I agree, although it is worth noting that where Who is discussed in less…..nerdy…environs, the guitar and the tank were very widely, and wildly, acclaimed. Obviously I exclude the Graun from this, despite @DanMartin‘s best efforts, because it has been largely over run by fuckwits. But, f’rinstance, the various official Facebook…[Read more]

Capaldi’s Doctor would be so wonderfully, witheringly rude about it. “Smells like what? Boss? The boss of Who, exactly?” No doubt some dalekian tracker algorithm placed it there.

I fear they have been reading the comments section under @DanMartin ‘s blog.

There are actually a whole lot of other things which annoy Who fans in different spaces. The…[Read more]

as you have regarding the comments. So I was just wondering about what you were thinking about
the new format that they were using? To me it is very much more like ‘tabloid’. So to me I

Yeah, I think it’s important to realise we’re probably getting a very simplified story of a much more complicated scenario. Philip Morris is a professional archive hunter and as Mark Gatiss said in his intro yesterday “dares to tread” in what can be hostile territories. As a middle man for Worldwide, I’m sure he’s able to grease t…[Read more]
