I would not get too concerned. I am sure it is managed information which will fit in with actuality but is designed to send us all into a spin.

On the other hand….

@Craig.    Okay – cool. Once you have moved them I will post something about Memories and Companions then.

And I did not think you were staying I had posted in the wrong place – all I meant was that you should […]

@Craig.      Forgive my innate Luddite tendencies, but truly, if you want to reposition things I have posted please do. You have my complete agreement.

Because it is Anniversary Year, I did wonder if there […]

@JimTheFish

I think the greatest issue with the TARDIS crew in the three companions Davison era is the false need for “tension” between them.

When there were three in the TARDIS in the Sixties, essentially, […]

@OsakaHatter

Not sure if I can risk Colin Baker though 

Quite right too.

Who needs Guantanamo Bay when you have Twin Dilemma?

@Charlie Cook

Welcome

Re osakaHunter comment about Brain of Morbius’ – in the mind battle Morbius’s past lives show on his ‘screen’ so the pre-Hartnell pictures must be the doctor. Mind you if you go by that, […]

@ardaraith          Not in that way, no. Caves of Androzani does provide some interesting direct-to-camera work, but it is not in the league of Feast of Steven.

@Shazzbot           Don’t mean to mislead you – I think Tegan does change, quite a lot really, during her travels with the Doctor. She has a wider world view by the end of her time – compare her in Four to […]

@Bluesqueakpip      Clara is here to change the story. She may not know that’s what she’s doing – but that’s what she’s here for.

Yes, that is my thought too – and she will change the story by saving […]

@ardaraith @SatsumaJoe

I would love to see the Monk return – so long as a really good actor with comic skills was up to playing him – Simon Russell Beale perhaps? or Alan Davies? His character is bumbling bad, […]

@Shazzbot          As the Doctor would say, “the human mind is a remarkable thing”. Mostly, these thoughts come from memory, although occasionally I have to check a DVD or CD or transcript if I want to get a […]

Davison

I forgot to say – my top five Davison era programmes?  Caves of Androzani, Kinda, Earthshock, Enlightenment, Five Doctors.

Top ten?  Add –  Terminus, Snakedance, Resurrection of the Daleks, […]

@WhoHar             Ha! 🙂 I rather suspect he would be DETS…

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

@shazzbott

I live to serve.

In Classic Who, all of the companions were human except Susan, Leela, K9, Romana, Adric, Nyssa, Kamelion and Turlough. But apart from the robots, none were presented as “aliens”, […]

Davison

By the time Castrovalva came along, I was a father and my first son ( then 2) reacted very favourably to the Doctor Who theme tune and so my memories of the Davison era are indelibly linked to him […]

@ardaraith @shazzbot

You raise interesting and, in my view, complex issues.

I don’t have any answers – but I do have thoughts.

Firstly, the sequence in Unearthly Child is over-thought. In truth, if you […]

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

@thommck            Well, Mondas was Earth’s twin – and the notion was that the Modasians were human-like. I shared your terror of the “Silver Piper” coming to take me away into the night to become like them…

Can’t wait!
