I’ve scoured the net and found a few ‘alternative’ takes on the new costume!

Enjoy..

Re “@FatManInABox so it is real then?”

It most definitely IS real! I was just having a bit of tongue in cheek fun. I don’t think I’ve got the reach or requisite amount of clout to start a fully fledged internet panic over the next costume 🙂

No idea what you’re talking about!!!!

So you spotted that then 🙂

At least she was pulling me up over syntax rather than the sentiment.

LOL… Might have a couple of copies of The Web of Fear Ep 3 lying around somewhere though 🙂

That whole thing was a farce. I was following Ian Levine’s comments about it on Twitter! Did you see his earlier outburst against Phil Morris? That’s one frustrated Who fan right there!!

Don’t be taken in by the images of Capaldi in his new costume… Get the facts here –

Been busy for a while so haven’t been catching up on what’s going on over here.

If anyone’s interested here’s the link to my latest blog post. It’s an odd post for me as it’s one of those rare occasions where I’ve decided not to sit on the fence for a change and have voiced my opinion about something that’s been bothering me for…[Read more]

Interesting stuff!!

Many thanks for the kind words re the blog!!

Interesting thoughts on the Daleks. Despite their place in the history of the show they have always been one of the enemies that I never really cared for! Give me the Cybermen any day of the week.

However I’ve recently decided to have another look at the Daleks and intend to…[Read more]

Sorry to go off on a tangent but I’ve just had some great news and I was bursting to share it with you!

I know I’m new to the forum but some of you will be aware that I write a blog called ‘Five Rounds Rapid’ which I use to showcase my love of our favourite show!

I was recently given the…[Read more]

The 18th sounds good to me! I’ll need to pick up a copy of The Time Meddler before then though 🙂

Good choices for the others as well, especially day of the Daleks. Still haven’t seen the TV version yet but it was one of my favourites of the Target novels and I must have read it several times. Can I suggest The Daemons as well for…[Read more]

The BG retrospectives are a brilliant idea. Is this ongoing or something that’s due to start up again? If the latter what will the next series be? I’d love to get involved!!

I agree about the timing. It’s highly unlikely anything will have even been put into production for any further 8th Doctor TV adventures, so more than likely it’s just a memo sat on someone’s desk at the BBC. It’s important that they put their energies into making the new PC series get off the ground running.

However I can…[Read more]

That’s cool! I knew I’d put something in the wrong place eventually!! 🙂

And I agree re Lucie Smith… Sheridan Smith is always worth watching and coupled with the success of TNotD this could be something truly great!

@bluesqueakpip has made a really good point there. I’ve just started re-watching Matt’s run again, and after sitting through The Eleventh Hour and The Beast Below it is pretty amazing to see just how young he looks in those early episodes. The rigorous schedule is always something that comes up in interviews and it wouldn’t…[Read more]

Come have a look http://5roundsrapid.wordpress.com/2014/01/07/and-so-it-begins

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

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

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 🙂

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!

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!

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

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

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!!

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]

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]

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

@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]

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

Cheers!!

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

@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]

It’s pretty obvious there are more out there but once the rumour mill gets going it’s pretty hard not to be disappointed when nothing gets turned up!

Eventually we’ll get to the point when any new find will probably end up being duplicates of old episodes that have already been…[Read more]
