@whohar this comment has been stimulated by one of your comments over on the blue yonder thread about series 15s potential big bad. But because my response is in part stimulated by some of the events in the Giggle in particular The Toymakers reference to an entity he ran away from,  I’m actually wondering if he was possibly referring to the Bl…[Read more]

Right after a quiet rewatch( was watching  yesterday with my client) had what I thought was quite a disturbing though as I noticed that the Unit ladies all were wearing a similar if not the same coloured nail polish red as the hand that seemed to be about to pick up the Master Gold Tooth prison…… do we have a branch of the cult of Saxon with…[Read more]

To my knowledge no, but consider this the timelords seemed to have resurrected every psycho Timelord in the time wars so a regenerated or resurrected Rani is I suppose possible but my bet would be one of that strange cult of the Master’s  being the hand.😉😛

Oh another thought are they going to run a second stream of Who,  one with David and one with Ncuti, though to be honest it would have made sense given we are being told RTD is keen for spin-offs that if the  TennantDoc was an earth bound Doctor perhaps working with UNIT like an early PertweeDoc.

Brilliant episode, but did anyone else get the feeling we were being set up for a long term story arc again a mention of some kind of superior/ boss that even the Toymaker answered to. Is this something that Ncuti’s first series is going to be about. And the Bi-Generation WTH does this make Ncuti really 14.5 or 15 and is he going to gain m…[Read more]

I would say the Host robots are more reminiscent of the Robots in the Tom Baker Robots of Death in fact they look very similar facially except the robots in Robots of Death were metallic Green  as opposed to the golden angels

@scaryb  I think the  HADS system is a trop used several times in Who over the years even in the BG era though I have to admit I am very hard pushed to remember what stories. I seem to remember it was used in the in a Pertwee era story and even in a Tom Baker story.

@blenkinsopthebrave yes I also am eagerly awaiting the final episode of the 60th specials in part because it seems to be shaping up to be more of a Special episode. As a side note I read or watched somewhere, as I have a tendency to watch multiple YouTube Who bloggers, that there are plans put it on the list to recreate the missing episodes of…[Read more]

Just done my second viewing of this weeks episode. Didn’t really pay too much attention to the initial scene with the future Sir Issac  on the first viewing though did think the casting was a little odd but I now wonder at the casting though but there might just be a reason for that that I’ll get back to . The episode as a whole was an  int…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent  I would agree it certainly was one of the most frightening episodes. Especially as it is entirely a psychological terror episode with no visible antagonist and relied entirely on the interactions of the actors to up the tension. Ironically I would suppose it was possibly one of the cheapest episodes to achieve.

Wasn’t the first of special filmed before the Disney+ Streaming Deal was confirmed and yes I do realise the actual deal was probably struck well before it was officially announced, but planning for the 60th anniversary would have been well advanced before the deal was struck. It’s probably just coincidental that any Americanisms were acc…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent.
I’ve heard or read some where that the BBC are releasing a triple DVD of the specials in a standard and “steelbook version” ( whatever  that means) immediately after the 3rd special is aired so it should be available to preorder and buy from most dvd outlets and online. Though I did hear the Steelbook version is something like £…[Read more]

@jimthefish I agree his comment felt more like a trolling comment meant to provok.

Whilst who has not always been socially perfect it has generally been socially aware and accusing a program of being “woke” just seems to be the latest fashion with those who want to troll something just for the sake of it.

As I previously said I really enj…[Read more]

Hi all loved the episode and loved that it was based on the 80s Dr Who  magazine comic strip. There was nothing however that said to me this is an  Special Aniversary other than it brought back two much loved characters ie Donna and Tenantdoc. Yes it was a brilliant episode as a stand alone, but as I said there is nothing in the episode that m…[Read more]

lol it not counting the days stage but counting the hours😉

lol just watched the BBC Children in need Dr Who bit and let’s just say lolololol

@craig

Erm I think Finnigan above may be either some kind of bot or spammer he/she seems to have posted nonsense posts in all categories

@translatorcircuit like you I had kind of hoped that the 3 anniversary specials would have been shown over the nearest weekend to the 23rd but in reality I think that would have been a bit of wishful thinking,(though the major channels ie; BBC and ITV don’t seem to have a problem disrupting scheduling for sports events). Dr Who apart for the l…[Read more]

Hi all I’ve just found out for the Uk viewers and I think the worldwide Disney+ viewers the Specials are to air weekly starting Saturday 25th November haven’t heard the time so dont know if it’s going to be pre or post Strictly but given that the episodes are 1 hr long I suspect it may be pre Strictly.

On a separate note has anyone heard when the actual Air dates are for the 3 60th specials, I’m getting a bit irritated by not knowing  as like to plan my Who watching , yes we know it will be in November, and will be sometime around  the 23rd (being the actual anniversary).  But is it going to be over 3 weekends straddling the date or even say…[Read more]
