Your gossip regarding an “Older woman” seems to have a believable BBC ring about it. I could see it happening, but the way you describe it is perhaps too good to be true.

@HTPBDET and @Shazzbot:

Yes, “explicitly” was the wrong word. “Thoughtless” would be better. I don’t really mean Rose personally meaning a lot to the Doctor so much as how her presence seemed to make him […]

@HTPBDET

You’re absolutely right time does change your perception. I find the RTD less objectionable now than I did at the time, although I really must get round to rewatching them all to see whether my initial […]

@HTPBDET

I fully admit OTT is my take and not everyone’s for sure. On the episode scoring I took part in between series 2 to 4 I was consistently scoring lower than average (2 or 3 out of 5, verse an average of […]

@HTPBDET

Well maybe I should have used another word. Some of the things (2 part stories, series arc, stand alone stories, classic monsters) are (well virtually) a given, so its hard for me to imagine voting for […]

@HTPBDET

I noticed the RTD point as well. It actually doesn’t surprise me that much. I think RTD era was more OTT in many ways and that probably appeals to a younger audience slightly more than SM where I’d say […]

@JimTheFish @HTPBDET @Shazzbot

Did you see the what do fans want to see in Series 8 ? (a link from the bottom of the page you posted). Very odd result, but I assume that was the way they asked the question.

Did I miss the Krotons debate ?

@HTPBDET, @ScaryB — I might be coming across as a naysayer with regards to the Dalek Invasion of Earth, so I’ll be clear: it’s wonderful. And unique. There’s something uniquely frightening in the fact that the […]

@HTPBDET, @JimTheFish, @ScaryB, @JanetteB —

So far as Troughton goes, I’d favour The Mind Robber or Tomb as the best fully extant stories. I personally prefer Mind Robber, but I think Tomb would perhaps be a […]

@JimtheFish @HTPBDET

That’s an interesting idea re watching just episodes for each.  I take JtF’s point about it not being the same as with the other Doctors, but Hartnell and Troughton are starting with a […]

@HTPBDET @Arkleseizure

For me, the iconic scene of the Dalek emerging from the Thames represents, in a very fundamental way, the concept of aliens invading Earth, regardless of whether or not they have invaded, […]

@Phaseshift @Arkleseizure @HTPBDET

Yeah, been thinking about rewatch order too.  It seems to be evolving organically in the right order!  I’m more than happy to do b/w (you have to ask????!), but would prefer […]

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

@HTPBDET — yes, only Troughton had his regeneration deliberately triggered by someone else, and by the very people who’d be extra careful that they didn’t kill him. Even McCoy can be ruled out as his Doctor […]
