    I like that. Clara the Red Herring.

    Given that Gatiss’ Adventures in Space and Time is happening and will remind all youngsters who Susan was, it seems more likely than not to me that Clara is […]

    However…

    That doll struck me as a Rose representation. And Roses do go with Clara.

    She seems always to wear red – so there might be something to be said for the Red Riding Hood theme.

    Lets assume for […]

    @ardaraith. –  there was never any indication in the TV series that Susan had a Gallifreyan name. Whatever happens in the books should not be regarded as part of the history of the Television series.

    The Clara […]

    Well @ardaraith, you might be right. I thought it was the Martian song but I don’t know the other one – but, on the other hand, why would 2013 Clara know a 1981 song? Or is it a classic everyone under 30 would […]

    Well, I have not enjoyed an episode of Doctor Who that much since The Stolen Earth.

    Cracking story, excellent guest cast, fabulous suspense and effects, many fangasm moments but still a clean and clear […]

  • HTPBDET replied to the topic The Faces of the Doctor

    It’s the eve of broadcast of Cold War.

    I have high hopes for this.

    I am late to this Faces discussion – so will think about what you have all said and pen a few thoughts next week.

    But, I guess there are […]

    @Bluesqueakpip

    Romana had no difficulty pronouncing her name – it was the Doctor who had the trouble. But, yes, I do think it would be funny if the Doctor had trouble pronouncing his own name – but I wonder if […]

  • Hmmm…

    I am going to go out on a limb and say that there will be no mention of anything Egyptology related in Cold War…

  • HTPBDET replied to the topic 50th Anniversary Special

    @Bluesqueakpip

    Yes, but as I understand it from within the BBC, the high turnover of producers on Doctor Who is because SM won’t listen to them and they continually exceed budget at his insistence. The money […]

  • HTPBDET replied to the topic Doctor Who memories

    Welcome @Cariad

    When people ask me how to get in to Doctor Who, I always suggest that they watch the very first episode, then The Three Doctors, then Dalek Invasion of Earth,  Tomb of the Cybermen, Terror of […]

    @ScaryB

    Yes, Smith’s comments about the paintings has bugged me – obviously we have seen the Clara painting in BSJ – but where did it come from? Again I wonder if we are seeing the Dr/Clara interactions out of […]

  • I have had that Gin & Tonic and now feel stupid again…

    Perhaps the TARDIS did lock Clara out – because she knows she is Susan and expects her to have her own key. Susan dropped her key after the TARDIS […]

    @JimThe Fish

    I thought the Anniversary Special was 90 mins long?

    And a reboot that wipes the past from the Doctor in his timeline does not mean it never existed. Alternative universes and all that. […]

  • @Juniperfish

    Sorry, I know I prattle on…

    I did not mean the Master was after his daughter in a bad way – just that he wanted to find her, perhaps because he was playing a double game with his […]

  • Wild theory #87,324

    As the Time War starts, the Dr hides his daughter (hidden as a human, fob watch style) on Earth. He returns to get the rest of his family but his mother sends him packing, saying “Run you […]
