For the Eccleston year, it was always Sauvignon Blanc; Tennant started with that but around School Reunion champagne became the tipple of choice. For Smith, it has been Double G&T since Beast […]

@ScaryB

It was a minor skirmish, by the Doctor’s blood-soaked standards. Not exactly the Time War, but enough to finish him. In the end, it was too much for the old man.

It is ambiguous – as ever with […]

@Whisht

Hmmm…

There aren’t any other Time Lord tombs are there? There is the Tomb of Rassilon and the Matrix – but that’s it (as far as we know anyway – I think).

The scar, surely, only occurs after the […]

@ScaryB

Really?

It just seemed to me that the Doctor was taking control of his mind – he didn’t want the Cybercontroller anywhere in his mind except where he was prepared to allow him.

I never thought it […]

@PhaseShift

I loathe Ian Levine. He single-handedly gives Doctor Who fans a bad name.

His association with JNT was repellent, in every sense, and contributed to the damage caused to the programme.

The […]

The reason I wanted to differentiate between memories and ‘physical’ tunnels and physical echoes, is that its easy to conflate the block the Cybercontroller found in Smith’s memories (Smith knows of HurtDoc but […]

@ScaryB   @Shazzbot

Tennant being there is no issue in this timey-wimey world.

It was never a consideration in any of Three, Five or Two Doctors.

I have always regarded it as an anomaly: the event happens […]

@ScaryB    Doctor 2.5? You mean between Troughton regenerating and Pertwee landing on Earth?

@Whisht

For heaven’s sake! Never be afraid to disagree with me!

This is what the Doctor says:

            Time travel is damage. It’s like a tear in the fabric of reality. That is the scar tissue of my […]

@Coffeemonster        No theory is too bonkers for words. Not here anyway!

@PhaseShift
Viewing his physical existence and sharing his memories are very different things, and memories would have discounted the idea to a certain extent.
I guess this the issue between us. I can’t see how […]

Welcome @Coffemonster

Your notion about the Hurt Doctor being created from the holes left by the Doctor is interesting – and, indeed, one I considered myself, given the specific mention in Nightmare in […]

@Pufferfish          I have been meaning to ask. Where did you see Jonjo O’Neill’s name on the cast list for the 50th?

He is an interesting actor – but not, I think, a Doctor…

@Shazzbot           The BBC is quite a different beast from any other broadcaster or production house in the world, mainly because of the license fee. More than anything else, Doctor Who has to work in the UK […]

Ahem….

@Shazzbot    Okay….can we stop with the Jeff now please…

I don’t think the BBC suits have that much power.

I don’t have the confidence you do in Moffat, but I think the show will suffer dramatically […]

Hello all – but especially @PhaseShift.

I have just realised that yesterday (the 18th) was the 40th Anniversary of the death of the wonderful Roger Delgado.

Did we mention that here anywhere and I just […]

@Shazzbot

Well, the Doctor would have to take him/her with his/her travels. And Clara would have someone to be governness to.

And I think I would probably vomit…

@Shazzbot

Well, I think either we encounter Tennant and Rose in their travels prior to Doomsday or it is the alternate world Tennant and Rose. If the latter, I would not be surprised, at all, if Rose is killed […]

@Shazzbot

Oh, I don’t know.

A small story about who he is does not discount big set-pieces where the Doctor recounts a cinematic adventure…
