• DOCTOR:               Leela? Leela, are you all right?
    LEELA:                    Oh, thank you, Doctor. Yes, I’m all right, just bruised.
    DOCTOR:               You were lucky.
    LEELA:                    I […]

    You are very kind – and thanks.

    Don’t be in awe – nothing special about me. But I am touched that my little story has been of interest.

    Truly.

    I was, frankly, scared when I started – […]

    It may be my befuddled-by-painkillers mind, but you have lost me.

    Why do you think the Master must know everything the Doctor has ever done?

    Does the Master know what happened on Peladon? […]

    I must have been in a very foul mood when I said Ainley was a dog-turd. Apologies. If I could find that statement and edit it, I would. It’s too harsh. Disappointment is quite sufficient.

    In […]

  • @Bluesqueakpip

    Cheers!

    Yes, but you can break a promise in the future. Timey-wimey, you know.

    Sorry – I was wrong to omit that line and deal with it. So, thanks.

    If you walk into your timeline and […]

  • Nothing will kill Doctor Who quicker than appealing to Fans.

    I distinguish between Fans and fans, because I think there is a real distinction there.

    I confess, freely, to being a fan. But I resent, wholly, […]

    Newman came up with the idea, Lambert made it happen (and fought Newman about monsters/Daleks) and Lloyd presided over the first regeneration.

    Newman and Lambert wanted the format to be as flexible […]

    Bless you – but, truly, my own point of view is just that – my own point of view. It comes because of a life lived near the TARDIS one way or another, as I have elsewhere tried to explain.

    But the […]

  • I think this is one of my favourite episodes of the six.

    It is beautifully written, beautifully played, beautifully directed and rewards attention with simple glory. You know, Games of Thrones works on […]

  • @Shazzbot

    I don’t think it matters what I think.

    But, essentially, I suspect that there are different views at play. Some old BG timers like me, will want a 50th that answers the original questions, possibly […]

    As I understand it, yes, Eleventh Hour and the season that follows, Moffat’s first, was originally envisaged for Tennant.

    These are the words in Name of the Doctor:

    DOCTOR: He is my secret.
    NOT […]

    sorry @JimTheFish – mucked up the tagging

  • HTPBDET replied to the topic The Faces of the Doctor

    @JimThe Fish

    Hey, thanks for that. I have never seen that – what is it from? What is Destiny of the Doctors?

    I liked Ainley there – but then he is rarely like that in the series.

    Who wrote that? […]

    @thommck @shazzbot

    I still think that the older McGann Doctor or the real Ninth Doctor are the most obvious possibilities and that is what makes me pause about them.

    If the Time War sealing was the issue, […]

    @arkelseizure @PhaseShift

    I guess my point of view about Ainley is a simple one: he showed excellent promise as Tremas ( his performance there is one of the few acting highlights that season) but the promise […]

    Hello all

    Apologies for Radio Silence – Nurse Jenny has been on leave and my nephews on holidays, so getting online has not been easy.

    thanks for all the well wishes – they are greatly […]

    Great posts. Thank you.

    Its such an interesting time the period of the Seventh Doctor – curiously, many people blame McCoy for the cancellation when he was […]
