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

    @HTPBDET – The Beeb does deserve credit for the two book series. There are a lot of other great publications coming out this year. Lots of other great merchandising too. Unfortunately a lot of these products are […]

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

    @HTPBDET I agree, I think the changes at the top at BBC will be reverberating round for a while yet, together with all the recent flack they’ve been taking. They’ll want to re-establish their reputation as a […]

    @HTPBDET

    Indeed, I don’t discount anyone’s view about Ainley generally. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion – and I am entitled to not share it

    I would never suggest anything otherwise – indeed, I […]

    @HTPBDET

    Now just stop it! That’s cruel 😉 (tho you’d certainly get my vote to be next DG of BBC)

    But the two people who told me that have left the BBC now and no one there is confirming or denying […]

    Ben/Polly. Absolutely agree, there was no love relationship on screen. I don’t think any modern writer would keep that as is though, which is why [like Barbara and Ian] the relationship would be more […]

    @HTPBDET

    The surprise in most cases, was that the departure came out of the blue, as they didn’t bother to sign post the Companion character development which “caused” their departure to happen. If they had […]

    @Bluesqueakpip @HTPBDET @Shazzbot @PhaseShift @JimTheFish

    My only surprise here is that you’re all surprised. Bluesqueakpip describes the BBC’s attitude to the show spot on in my opinion (Children’s TV, Science […]

  • Whisht replied to the topic Doctor Who news

    just a note to @HTPBDET as to why anyone would bother reading your thoughts on Who.

    [i’ve tried and failed to get the next sentence right – i used to draw not write and drawing wasn’t my strong […]

    @shazzbot (noticed the avatar, not the status 🙂 ) @HTPBDET – quick response on the run – re great female baddies –

    Diana Rigg and Celia Imrie

    2 under our very noses

    🙂

    <deep bow in honour of your shiny new status and cracking new avatar>

    @HTPBDET <yikes, am going to disagree with new moderator on my first post!!> You did post something on to S or not to S a while […]

    @HTPBDET

    Ah. Ignore that link. I thought it would be a similar arrangement to a couple of other publications they’ve requested contributions for – free finished product and a small fee for selected entries. […]

  • PhaseShift replied to the topic Doctor Who news

    A couple of things, one which has been mentioned, and another which may interest @HTPBDET.

    Both deal with fandom and the 50th.

    As mentioned the Bradford Media Museum is hosting an event, but for anyone who […]

  • TardisBlue replied to the topic The Rose & Crown

    @HTPBDET, guess I inadvertently demoted Pertwee this time.  Last time I demoted Davison.  Sorry.  But your initials would be so much easier to remember if they ended with an “S”  😉

    … looking furtively around […]

  • janetteB replied to the topic Companions past and present

    I agree with @HTPBDET that the Pond split as depicted in Pond Life was inconsistent with the character development to that point. (I am writing from memory however as I found this morning that we don’t have Pond […]

  • @JimTheFish Blogging is still restricted, but I guess it won’t stop people posting in the comments! But I think the blogs should be used for telling stories. @HTPBDET is basically writing an autobiography via his […]

  • After The Girl Who Waited why would there be a divorce? Why would Amy act so appallingly towards Rory?

    @HTPBDET – I have no idea whether it was from family experience or simply good writerly observation; but one […]

  • ScaryB replied to the topic The Rose & Crown

    @TardisBlue Nice first post, thanks for comments, and welcome. Look forward to reading your future contributions

    @HTPBDET Thanks also for lovely comments. This is indeed a special space, created and maintained […]

    I’m with @HTPBDET on this – we want the next bit 🙂

    I like your ginger Dr and punky Susan

    One person’s padding can be another person’s texture!

    JtF, I suspect you’re using “padding” in Talons context slightly mischievously, to provoke some discussion! (You say as much […]
