• HTPBDET commented on the post, Running the Show – RTD v SM

    @Shazzbot

    The change in the relationship between the Doctor and the Tardis between RTD’s reign and SM’s, is huge. This is bigger than the differences in how the companions have been dealt with between the two […]

    @Shazzbot

    As to SM’s motivations, well I think that he had a specific idea about how he viewed the Doctor’s travels and he wanted to explore that.

    I also think that SM is very much about “moments” and […]

    @Bluesqueakpip

    No question – each Doctor has been, at times, irresponsible and immature.

    Troughton’s need to be better than Zoe was delightful and funny – and immature.

    The point is a good Doctor knows […]

    @Bluesqueakpip @nick @shazzbot @ScaryB

     I think it is important to work out about whom we are speaking.

    Who are the AG companions?

    For RTD,  is it Rose, Martha and Donna? Or that group plus Adam, Mickey, […]

    @Craig @Shazzbot

    I tend to agree with Craig.

    But, actually, I think that if we just renamed this as Running the Show AG, things would be confined to the RTD/SM eras – which I think is really what most people […]

    @Nick, @bluesqueakpip, @PhaseShift,@JimTheFish ,@Shazzbot and @everyone else!
     Not much time today – but just to throw a few bones into the pack…so to speak 🙂

    Agenda

    I cannot think of a single BG […]

    I have to ask myself, why Steven Moffat resurrected the Great Intelligence as a badge. The GI in 1967 wasn’t feeding off the minds of Humans in the wifi back then (it was rather unknown origin entity with great […]

    I think Mrs PhaseShift is right on the money.

    Still, it was good enough for StarWars to ripoff Holst, why not Doctor Who?

  • @JimTheFish

    Ah, Colonel Blimp. He just looked too dapper, so I did not recognise him.

    Yes, an excellent type.

    I fear, though, that we will never get a plus-forty again…

    And , disturbingly for […]

    You made me spit out my cuppa!

    Ha!

  • @ScaryB

    Yes, totally agree: Tennant and Kingston do have that vocal skill.

    It’s a wonderful gift or a finely tuned talent- or both.

    Is that Carole Ann Ford or Chita Rivera?

  • DOCTOR: The Peking Homunculus was a toy, a plaything for the Commissioner’s children. It contained a series of magnetic fields operating on a printed circuit and a small computer. It had one organic component. The […]

    @PhaseShift

    I do love the audio recordings – it is astonishing how vivid it all seems. I am glad that you get a lot of Troughton’s voice virtuosity – combined with his remarkable eyes, it was really something. […]

  • @JimTheFish

    That was – well….thrilling!

    Genuinely.

    Congratulations!

    I felt that kind of leap of joy that only Doctor Who brings when Susan leapt through the air and used her Venusian Aikido skills. […]

  • HTPBDET commented on the post, Dr Who – A Celebration?

    @Whisht – well said!

  • HTPBDET replied to the topic The Faces of the Doctor

    @janetteB

    Totally agree. Nicholas Courtney was central to the survival of Doctor Who in the Seventies and that is often overlooked.

    Oh how I wish Web of Fear was still with us – he started as he […]

    Her neice, who looks like her a little, but with black hair is the temptress in Merrily We Roll Along on the West End at the moment, while the Diva herself […]

  • HTPBDET commented on the post, Dr Who – A Celebration?

    Not, at all, defending the BBC, but I understand that there is a new Radio story coming that features each of the incarnations and some old companions, as well as scheduled repeats of what the BBC consider key […]

    Bless you.

    You made me cry.

    Thanks.
