I haven’t seen the series of Neverwhere, but, as I said, the CD is wonderful. Good Omens?  I have the DVD and the book.

Both enjoyable.

@oochillyo  I have only read a couple of comics, mostly Dr Who related or Babylon Five related. I read a lot, alternating between fiction and non fiction, mostly history and archaeology. My taste in fiction is broad, literature, sci fi, fantasy, and like @dentarthurdent,  I avoid the popular stuff. Currently I am making my way through Terry P…[Read more]

@winston and @dentarthurdent I have started a post several times in the past few days and then not had time or brain energy to finish. so I have made notes, Back a few posts to the mention of Big Finish. I have listened to a couple. We got one free with a Dr Who magazine once. They are pricey though and i don’t listen to stuff so I have not…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent  Oh the wonderful things I could grow with your climate but I am challenged by mine and I like a challenge. I like plants that do their own thing without my help and I love plants that just show up in my garden or along my hedgerow. Some seeds must be blown in on the wind and I suspect some are pooped out by birds like the big red…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent    My son gave me the rose a few years ago and it has struggled but this year it looks really nice with loads of buds. I have at least a hundred different perennial flowers in my garden and some I know the real name , some the common name and some I name my self because its my garden and I can. Some are named after the  people who…[Read more]

hey everyone 🙂 how are you all 🙂

Correct @Dentarthurdent 🙂 that’s the David Bowie one 🙂

It used to scare me when I first saw it still a bit unsettling at times but enjoyable and well now I love the actress Jennifer Connelly even more 🙂 its the puppets that scare me especially Hoggle.

Ah Warwick Davis was in the film sweet 🙂 I love him too…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent  I have been without the internet for a week and when I come back there are these great interviews! Thank you. I have always said that is was Chris and Billie that got me hooked on Who and so the 9th Doctor is my Doctor and he rarely talks about the show, but now he does.Yay! I love Rose so much I named a beautiful  tea rose  Ro…[Read more]

hey everyone 🙂 how are you all 🙂

hey @dentarthurdent what authors do you like to read book all kinds of stories from 🙂 also what kinda of books do you enjoy, do you have specific favoured tastes or anything could be gold dust for you in terms of reading 🙂

Thank you for your kind message before and hope we can talk books though I still…[Read more]

hey everyone 🙂 how are you all 🙂

hey @dentarthurdent 🙂 your words are soo kind 🙂

I’ve been reading comic issues and one was 64 pages or such and I got close to half way then went onto others.

One was 21 issues long and I aimed for 7 issues that day but got to 5 but that’s a lot as I said and I was happy like each issues is maybe 30 pages…[Read more]

hey everyone 🙂 how are you all 🙂

hey @dentarthurdent how have you been 🙂

Yes but I think its a bit like Polar Express love that film 🙂 with Tom Hanks 🙂

Everything is frozen so ocean dont stop motion ha

Its actually pretty good maybe I wanted different but how they do it is nice and I guess I like more action after going through a tons of…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent I have just spent the last two hours not doing all the jobs I was supposed to be doing this afternoon and it is your fault. 🙂 Thank you for sharing those links. Really enjoyed both interviews so much. Billie Piper’s hair threw me. I started watching on the small screen and felt as though there was someone else talking with her…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent to respond to the last post first, perhaps the dream crab extracted the memory of Clara from the Doctor and then went in search of her It is possible the Doctor was infected while on his search for Gallifrey.

I am not so confident however in Moffat’s script writing to be certain that he thought it through, though sometimes I…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent It is a good series. Last Christmas is one of the best Christmas Specials, speaking of which I have high hopes that RTD will resurrect the Christmas Special. Dr Who and Christmas just go together like ghost stories and Christmas.

Been busy over the last couple of days but look forward to catching up with the observations also I…[Read more]

Urgh. I have replied twice to this. The first time I closed down Firefox before posting. The second time I was logged out. So third attempt

Another excellent review @dentarthurdent. There are some critical logical flaws in this episode and while I like the idea that the writer is trying to convey the execution does not work. I still prefer this…[Read more]

@nerys  I am so happy that your area was spared these horrible fires but of course heart broken for my fellow Canadians who have lost everything.

It seems that Canada is burning from coast to coast. Here in Ontario there are hundreds of fires burning as well as in Quebec and the smoke was dense for a few days. No going outside for long because…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent One of the quibbles i have with the Moffat era is the depiction of Churchill as being a kindly leader. I don’t share that view of Churchill. My mother certainly did, having gone through the war being drip fed pro British propaganda. She did not even see him as the person who was willing to sell out Australia, not allowing the …[Read more]

@dentarthurdent Ah, Danger Man, now that was a great show. I have all of it on dvd and we watch it regularly. Returning to the importance of show runners, it was devised and largely written by Ralph Smart, an Australian film maker, who was part of the intellectual and artistic emigration of Australians to Britain such as Clive James, Robert Hughes…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent Yes. The problem with heavy handed moralising is that you loose the people you won over with the message in the story even if they are totally “on board” they will be offended because they feel as though they are being patronised and if they don’t agree they might have been influenced but the moment they realise that they will turn…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent I actually quite enjoyed the wobbly sets in old Who, and The Avengers with Diana Rigg and The Prisoner with Patrick McGoohan, both when I watched them as a teenager and now. Why? Because the writing and the “vision” of them was miles ahead of American TV at the time. The problem with Who during the JNT years, was that the writing…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent Great reviews, both of them. I must have read the review a year ago but really enjoyed reading it again. It is an excellent episode, great characters, great story, great dialogue. The concept of the Doctor being trapped in a tiny Tardis is unique as are the 2d “monsters.” Lots of original ideas. Rigsy is a well written character…[Read more]
