@blenkinsopthebrave oooo what places is this you have been reading. If accurate I wonder if it may be something similar to The key of time season where the adventures were linked stories which all had the underlining storyline but individual stories or if it’s going to be essentially one long story like most of the early BG stories. This move c…[Read more]

I think onscreen it is the first instance of the modern dalekification, though I suppose technically the robotisation of humans was probably seen in the BG Doctor Who and the Dalek invasion of the earth in both the tv and film versions in the 60’s, in the book and big finish audiobooks lore they have been used several times

@dentarthurdent I actually really liked the Sylvester McCoy Who in the BG Who. From what I understand of his tenure was I think his storylines were what hasbecome known as the Cartmel plan which from what I understand was going to give the Doctor a back history that he was in fact some kinder of ancient Uber Timelord,  hmmm now where have we seen…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave it’s not as if they haven’t cast an actor that’s appeared in the show previously for example Colin Baker player a Galifreyan Gaurd in the Tom Baker era as I remember or was it during Peter Davison’s stint. Though some might say that would not be necessarily be a recommendation though you may remember Capaldi also previou…[Read more]

Anyone heard anything about this new immersive Dr Who event/exhibition – Time Fracture  when I first saw the advert on the SFX magazine cover  I thought it was some kind of new VR game but not sure the one advert I’ve actually seen seems to imply it may be something like the Harry Potter tour

@craig
Think we may have a spammer or certainly someone who doesnt respect site protocol,….Guy seems to want us to sponsor him for cancer research or some such using Elizabeth sladen as the excuse who apparently only died 10weeks ago

Hmmm been recently looking at big finish who, as I’m a bit of audiobook fan in the main but have issues with their pricing. Yes I know big finish productions are more audioplays rather than audiobooks but most of their productions are at best 2hrs or under and the ones that are more than that are priced considerably more and to be honest my g…[Read more]

Hi all, with the copious amount of time that this darn virus has foisted on us ( as a shielder) and having become a a bit of an audiobook addict of both the narrated /full cast types I was wondering who is also an audiobook addict especially of the Who kind and where you find the best value audiobooks. I’m already an Audible subscriber and have i…[Read more]

the extra tardis was from the destroyed Gallifrey the Doctor sent the fam and co to Earths 21st century towards the end of the season finale being a fully functional Tardis it has the functioning Chameleon Circuit hence its masquerading as a suburban house . I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be a Battle Tardis and hence the Doc’s abili…[Read more]

If as I suspect the original pre-COVID plan was for the next series was to start on the back of the special like last season, they possibly felt a two parter was not necessarily needed. Now given the gap being forced on them due to suspension in production due to the COVID lockdowns in retrospective hindsight a two parter would have been…[Read more]

@bluesqueakpip there has always been hints that the Doctor is a timelord like no other even in the BG era. This seems to be  more so in so in the Cartmel Plan period and certainly in the unfortunately shortened McCoy tenure and also in the officially sanctioned books of the gap years also his knowledge of and association with major Celestial…[Read more]

@craig is the above Annabel James a sneaky a sneaky spammer

Well I think I may have been a little hasty with my initial and admittedly knee jerk reaction to the episode, it was  overall enjoyable. I still feel more could have been made of the Doctors escape, but I now feel that Chibnal was trying to cram too much into one episode admittedly a longer episode. He’s 1. trying to explain how the Doctor gets ou…[Read more]
