Nick replied to the topic Companions past and present
my two cents (for what its worth) is that padding should be defined along the lines of anything that is of no intrinsic value to the story or the characters and is really dull to […]

Have to disagree with @HTPBDET re. episode three. It was very much padding. Quality padding that brought much richness and texture to the secondary characters — which helps greatly in feeling […]

Hope your nephew and nurse Jenny and others […]

@Bluesqueakpip @HTPBDET @Shazzbot (and others before)
Thank you for an interesting discussion on what Mr Moffat may have choosen to do in the 50th (and Christmas ?) episode(s). One thought that crossed my mind […]

Nick commented on the post, Doctor Who and the Invasion of the Media Mongers (Episode Two)
You’re 100 % spot on here. I have always been a fan rather than a FAN, too many of whom seem to have an ARSE problem. The show came back because RTD was much more of a fan than anything else. I agree […]

Why do you think the Master must know everything the Doctor has ever done?
@HTPBDET – I didn’t think I’d said that. I was thinking that, if there is a Doctor Zero, he must be pre-Hartnell. The Master and the […]

Hmmm.. much of that I don’t agree with.
it is what happens in front that matters
And that is what I do judge him on largely. That has to be informed by behind the scenes issues as well. My point […]

@HTPBDET – one of the problems with him being Doctor Zero is that the Master would have known Doctor Zero. It is also very likely that the Master would know why Doctor Zero ‘broke the promise’.
Now, this is a […]

To launch the series into the next fifty years, what would be best? An effective restart? Or a return to the mystery that started the travels in the first place?
@HTPBDET Both.
It would be possible to re-visit […]

@HTPBDET – Thanks for sharing this candid post. Deeply affecting.
Yes, Sylvester was great, helped by Cartmel trying to be Alan Moore (though not entirely succeeding).
I cannot help but wonder if you can […]

@HTPBDET – Just to reiterate the sentiment above, thank you for sharing this. I found it heart wrenching and moving and it’s stayed with me since I read it. As has been said above, I feel honoured that you’ve […]

Thank you for writing this piece.
Looking back your comment about Bonnie Langford working better with Colin Baker than Sylvester McCoy is spot on. I never liked her public persona in the slightest, […]

Hi @HTPBDET, can I echo what others here have said (and probably many others have thought but like me have not known how to say), and thank you for sharing your memories here.
I’m not sure if you’ve shared […]

@HTPBDET I just wanted to say thanks again for a great piece on McCoy, and for revealing so much of your personal story, I know it can’t have been easy. I can’t begin to comprehend how difficult that period of […]
