Interesting re The Underwater Menace. I found this on Twitter a couple of days ago

@thekrynoidman It certainly does!! I keep forgetting about the the later McCoy stories!! I’m firmly stuck in the Barry Letts/Philip Hinchcliffe era 🙂

Could use The Horror of Fang Rock as well, although I’m being swayed more by the atmosphere than the content!

@thekrynoidman

Ghost Light! Awesome!!

I did initially consider that but couldn’t remember if the sci-fi element overshadowed any supernatural. Either way there IS a supernatural aspect to it so it needs to be considered

Haven’t seen it for years so another one to re-watch 🙂

OK folks… Just throwing this one out there for your input.

I’m hoping to submit a piece for publication on ‘Supernatural Horror in Classic Who’ and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on what might be worth including. I’ve got the following as standards…

• The Daemons
• The Brain of Morbius
• The Talons of Weng-Chiang
• The Stones of…

Re the DVDs… I’ll be the first to admit that there’s no substitute for having the Classic DVDs themselves all lined up on the shelf!

@MonochromeDimension

Great to have you on board. Please have a look at one of my early blog posts on the topic of Classic DVD collections…

I’m taking a bit of a different approach to keep costs down!

I’m starting to put a few Who curios and bits of memorabilia together and was wondering if anyone else had any collectables of note? He’s my latest blog post outlining what arrived yesterday…

Is this the best place to share stuff like this? Things like book collections, DVDs,…[Read more]

I just found this link from a read through of TToTD and wanted to share it… It’s just had me in bits…

Find out all about my night with Jenna Louise Coleman in my final blog post of 2013!!

Happy ‘Who’ Year everyone!!!

Just stumble across some more Moff-bashing…

Nothing we haven’t seen before but does score points for quoting The Wrath of Khan 🙂

I’ve got a new blog post up if anyone’s interested, where I’ll be sharing the details of any new DW related purchases off eBay and such like…

Enjoy… And any comments (as always) are welcome!!

@PhaseShift

Sounds like a plan!! I was going to suggest something like that myself but didn’t want you all to think I was getting ideas above my station 😉

I’ve got a few ideas on how Moffat might want to run with it but I’ll save those for the new thread!!

@d12345

Oh Dear Oh Dear Oh Dear

Crossing genres a little bit here, but as The Joker so succinctly put it… “Why so serious?”

I might not have followed this up except for the comment about Moffat’s writing being “lazy and unmotivated”!! It’s become far too easy to criticise what Steven Moffat has done on the show these last few years, and we’re…[Read more]

New blog post is up!

http://5roundsrapid.wordpress.com/2013/12/27/how-to-improve-doctor-who

Just wondering if anyone out there has an opinion of what will happen to DW in 2014? What’s round the corner in terms of the structure of the show?

I know the show isn’t ‘broken’, but what changes would you make to move things forward? What would you do…[Read more]

“And of course there’s the bow tie. It was the tying of the tie in The Eleventh Hour that seemed to punctuate Matt’s ‘becoming’ of the Doctor. It was his removal of it in this story that seemed to emphasise that his time was over.”

@JimTheFish Brilliant spot that!! I did wonder why we had the slow motion bow tie removal but that makes perfect…[Read more]

@Bluesqueakpip @PhaseShift

I’ve not but I will do now!! Thanks for the heads up!

Sorry that this is a bit off topic…

@Arbutus

Okay, I’ve been trying not to go here, because I know that most people on this forum have not listened to much or any Big Finish, but I can no longer help it!

I’m glad someone has brought up Big Finish as I really wanted to make a start with some of these and wondered where the best place was to…[Read more]

Took a while to get there but here’s a few of my random thoughts and musings on Matt Smith’s swansong.

Please feel free to check out the rest of my new Who blog as well… Any comments and/or feedback is always appreciated!!

Cheers!!

@wolfweed

Great news on the Troughton stories, although maybe a moot point for the more hardcore fans as they’d be picking up the DVDs anyway I guess

Still… Should be nice seeing some Classic Who on terrestrial TV again

@FatManInABox

@wolfweed

Wow! Now that’s something I never knew about Bob Monkhouse!!

I have to agree with you FMIAB, there would certainly be no shortage of volunteers to go through that many recordings and I can’t believe the short-sightedness of the BFI not to take the tapes in! Even if it they acknowledged the enormity of such a long-term…[Read more]
