    Hello @ScaryB and everyone else!

     

    I did have a bit of a wobble this year, as what was conceived as an enthusiastic van forum about a show we loved (and we were possibly the first in this new format) became such a nest for trolls. And a lot of you regulars over there didn’t show up this year, prob for the same reasons. So I seriously considered…[Read more]

    Ooh, is song-of-the-episode a game that actually happens? Am well behind this! Maybe I should suggest one each week from now on. Well, I stand by Beyonce (I will always stand by Beyonce), but for fear-related songs, you can’t go too far wrong with this from Pulp…

     

  • DanMartinUK replied to the topic Doctor Who News (3)

    Thanks Guys! Yes that was fun to put together and we’ll be doing similar with all the big franchises and a few of the smaller ones as we approach our Sci-DFi season ‘Days Of Fear And Wonder’

    It’s all been done with a new ‘immersive storytelling’ tool called Shorthand which while still in its beta stages a bunch of people are using. The landmark…[Read more]

    Hello! Yes that tube message was lovely. It was a quote from Moffat at the Celebration last year as I remember. I did a little tear when heard it, as I remember

    A pleasure and always a pleasure @Shazzbot

     

    has any of this shown up yet? x

  • DanMartinUK replied to the topic On The Sofa (3)

    Very sad news. It feels strange to be talking like this about people one has never met, but I suppose this is one of the wonderful things that can only happen on the internet that doesn’t get talked about enough in the age of “trolling”. This quite genuine outpouring of respect proves that you people have built something beautiful together. It is…[Read more]

    Hello Everyone,

    What sad news. I’ve not spent as much time on here as I would have liked, but it’s been wonderful to watch how this site has grown out of a little  thing I do. And very inspiring the community that has arisen – how rare that such affection and genuine grief would come out of a forum.

    CORRECTION: Rory didn’t say it in Dinosaurs he said it in God Complex

  • DanMartinUK replied to the topic On The Sofa (3)

    Oh yes of course. My intention is to do a post fully crediting this wonderful forum with that headline you took from Rory in Dinosaurs and made into something truly special. I will of course credit every theory to the forum every theory I use, and each user too. But I just like the idea of using the best of fandom to publicise the show. I believe…[Read more]

    Hello Gang,

    It’s been a while. I’m getting separation anxiety at no more new ep blog parties til November.
