Just watched it myself, and trying to decide if it was charming in its silliness, or up there with the 1978 Star Wars Christmas Special. Am probably tending towards the latter.

@devilishrobby  Oh yes, the ‘Recent forum posts’ are all this bloody Finnegan pest.   @Craig, I think your attention is required, if you would be so kind?   Along with banning this ‘Monica Williams’

If it helps I’ll volunteer to look at every forum on this site and list all those polluted by this ‘Finnegan’ for your convenience, let me know…[Read more]

@Devilishrobby Star Maidens wasn’t a Gerry Anderson co production! Gerry Anderson was never mentioned. As anyone can look up in a few seconds it was produced by Portman Productions for ITV and partly financed by the organisation Werbung in Rundfunk, using revenue from the limited TV commercials (before 20:00) on the German channel ZDF.  There…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave The ‘new’ Doctor of which you speak, in connection with Regency clothes, is that Ten(nant) (or should that be 14? Or 10(c)? All highly confusing), or Ncuti Gatwa who I suppose is 15. Probably. Or 14 if Ten(nant) Mk III doesn’t get a new number. I give up.
OK, according to the Beeb, Tennant is 14, Gatwa is 15. OK.
Quite like…[Read more]

@devilishrobby Well, my theory (which I first broached upstream somewhere) is that they are all connected by Donna–and finding a way to give her back her memories. I may be wrong, but for the moment I’m sticking to it!

@janetteb  @dentarthurdent  @blenkinsopthebrave  @devilishrobby   Since I have spent at least 50 years in jeans and a t shirt and always wearing “appropriate”  footwear I am not a credible critic of other peoples clothes. I am a Doctor fan though and I know what I like in Doctor costumes. I like the quirky costumes like the 4th , 10th, 11th …[Read more]

@devilishrobby   Very probably those Doctors you mention had the odd question mark.   I think in Seven’s case (McCoy) it got out of control.   I seem to recall reading that he wasn’t happy about it and eventually managed to get them to tone it down a bit.

@devilishrobby What surprised me was how quickly I ‘recovered’. I’d expected to be in hospital for weeks, I was out in a week. I think the day after the operation, or maybe the next day, I was able to shuffle to the toilet unaided.
Actually the whole experience was – not unpleasant. I had a nice comfortable bed in a light airy room,…[Read more]

@devilishrobby I can assure you that I AM a true Who fan! I’ve been watching Doctor Who since I was a little boy. Doctor Who is the only thing that remains in my life while other things keep changing, coming and going. My whole attitude is that Doctor Who must take priority for the actors playing The Doctor, as well as for the BBC. What this means…[Read more]

My mistake!  Still, it’s cool that they can get so many former Doctors involved.

So 3 specials and then the fourth will be the new Doc.

@nerys @devilishrobby Of course the Daleks are *the* canonical Doctor Who villains, instantly recognisable. But for me, the scariest aliens are definitely the Weeping Angels, closely followed by the Silents.
Asylum of the Daleks is one of my favourite episodes, simply because it’s so inventive. The Dalek parliament saying “Save us,…[Read more]

Hi @devilishrobby.

I think, the article I scanned was published by Giant Freakin Robot.

I refer to a ‘clean slate’ as it was a phrase used in the article and not myself making a guess; however, this be GFR elaborating on what little was known at the time though much of tallies in an  on-line post of November 3rd which in  similar vein  ca…[Read more]

@devilishrobby I’m afraid I don’t agree with your comment on my post. I think that Janet Fielding now looks like a totally different person. I saw a short video of her taken at a convention years later where she looked similar to how she looked in Doctor Who, though. As for Paul McGann, he later appeared in the short video “The Night of The…[Read more]

@devilishrobby I can understand the business side of it. But, from my own fan’s perspective, I’m … well, not a fan.

@dentarthurdent I checked our library system’s Doctor Who collection, which seems to be quite extensive. So I think I will go that route. This seems to work for you; I will just have to be patient. It will be hard to wait and try…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave I had never heard of the Whomobile, and it’s one of those things I’m kind of glad didn’t stick, lol.  I guess every fandom has some short-lived thing like that though.  At least the cool stuff caught on, like the sonic screwdriver.

@devilishrobby I guess we have James Bond to thank for some of the more experimental i…[Read more]

@devilishrobby    No, Timeless Children is the last one I’ve seen.   I haven’t seen the Flux series but it’s in the mail to me.   Haven’t seen Revolution of the Daleks either (Revolution?  Evolution?   Revelation?  Restoration?  Resolution?  Retribution?   whatever…)    I’m kinda hoping it will be included in the Flux DVD’s but it might not be. …[Read more]

It’s sad to hear about Cribbins’ passing.  Just the other day I was talking about The Stolen Earth/Journey’s End, and made some comparisons to The End of Time.  Wilf had a pretty big part in those episodes, and in the regeneration of 10 into 11.  In a way Wilf’s exit from Doctor Who was my introduction to it.
