    You fill me with terror.

    Please, by the great TARDIS in the sky, can we be done with the Ponds and their impossible family.

    Sorry!

    P.S. @Shazzbot        Maybe that […]

  • HTPBDET replied to the topic The Next Doctor?

    @Shazzbot        At the risk of incurring the wrath of everyone here, one of the disappointments for me about Smith’s tenure has been that his characterization  did contain such an emphasis on “fast-talking, […]

  • @PhaseShift
    I’m not sure what memories have to do with this really, unless you spotted some reference to it in “Name of the Doctor”.
    I didn’t mean there was any specific reference to memories, because, like you, […]

    @bluesqueakpip  and @PhaseShift

    Apologies for the wrong posting earlier. I confess to not looking at what thread I was on.

    My bad!

     

  • HTPBDET replied to the topic The Next Doctor?

    @Shazzbot        Yes, that’s the thing. I have seen Andrew Scott on stage and he can be deliciously wicked and very funny, as well as brooding, intense and serious. He is an “actor’s actor”.

    But I don’t think […]

    @chickenkelly

    Julian Rhind-Tutt might be okay. I rather suspected they would go for a blonde actually.

    He seems a good actor – and as long as the writing and the new characterization works, I think he might […]

  • @JimTheFish

    I think it’s possible that Hurt is an excised Doctor and that Eleven merely calls himself that — but is in fact Twelve (with Eccleston and Tennant also having to shift up a number.)..Of course, Hurt […]

  • @Tennantmarsters2013

    Jack became the Face of Boe simply by the passage of time. He was unable to die, so lived for centuries – and the ravages of time affected his appearance and physical form. He became the […]

  • But I’m still pretty adamant that Hurt’s costume dates him pretty conclusively somewhere between McGann and Eccleston.

    @JimTheFish
    I have to say that as soon as I saw Hurt, my immediate response was “Okay – you […]

  • The prophecy is quite vague.  Silence will fall when a question is asked, a question that must never be answered.  Do the Silence want to stop the question being asked or stop the question being answered? If it’s […]

  • My earliest memory in life is of my baby brother peering up out of his cot, having been brought home from the hospital aged 3 days. He was a troublesome baby, always mewling, always wanting to eat whatever I had […]

  • Hmmm…..can’t edit the typos there……..sorry about that!

    No idea what that J is about…

  • Hi all

    I have missed most of this party and have only limited internet access at the moment, so cannot read all the posts – which is very irritating! – but, for what they are worth, here are my thoughts about […]

  • @bluesqueakpip     I am wounded…

    Hartnell, Troughton, Pertwee, Baker T, Davison, Eccleston and Tennant are all “my” Doctors. For reasons that don’t necessarily revolve around their talent or skill, McCoy, […]

  • HTPBDET commented on the post, Top twenty After-Gap adventures

    @Shazzbot          That’s a lovely secret and thanks for sharing it. Very much appreciated.

    There is, actually, nothing more bleak, desolate or potentially frightening than a child’s toy – unless it is clutched […]

    @Phaseshift

    As one who feels like he has been recovered from the lost forever pile, I think I can safely say that you should maybe start believing…

    Not sure that Evil of the Daleks will be screened – but […]

  • HTPBDET replied to the topic On the Sofa (part 2)

    @miapatrick     Congratulations from me too!

  • DOCTOR: You know, one day, just one day, maybe, I’m going to meet someone who gets the whole don’t wander off thing. Nine hundred years of phone box travel, it’s the only thing left to surprise me.

    Actually, […]

  • HTPBDET replied to the topic The Next Doctor?

    @dounsel14    John Lithgow would be a great Doctor – but I think we all know what sort of Doctor he would be. I’d prefer a complete surprise.

    @janetteB        Cheers and thanks!

  • Doctor:           What’s this?
    Leela:              A Janis thorn.
    Doctor:           Yes! I thought I told you not to carry…
    Leela:              He was trying to kill you!
    Doctor:           Oh…Oh, well, in that […]
