@HTPBDET – After reading your comment above regarding The Feast of Steven, I went searching for it and found this reconstruction.  There certainly was a lot of yelling! lol.  The Doctor certainly, and very […]

@HTPBDET – Thank you for these posts! They are windows into Classic Who.

@HTPBDET

 I was a father and my first son

I had this rather frivolous notion that he was named after you and therefore called  htpbdet 🙂

@Bluesqueakpip – haha. Indeed!  Dare not “aspire to being immoral and below-average.”

@HTPBDET – What a poignant and considered post!  Brilliant!  I have absolutely nothing to add (how could I), but thank you! […]

@HTPBDET I too thought your posts were excellent and would like to thank you for your excellent writing, your passion and your bravery. And thank you for your kind words (and @JimTheFish) but I really do feel that […]

@HTPBDET I think this arc is about, in its simplest terms, how the Doctor needs his friends to survive.

Hmm, isn’t there some literary thing about heroes being surrounded with allies/friends while villains are […]

@HTPBDET – ’twas someone online. And it was before broadcast, so they had NO excuse.

As the saying goes: may they be infested with the fleas of a thousand camels …

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

I’m not that eloquent but

@HTPBDET I admit to the fact that I was afraid to make the Hartnell and Regeneration posts – I was worried that there were not what you younger and cooler folk wanted

No need […]

Spoilery

spoiler type things

but

not

really.

From the Neil Gaiman interview, it looks like you may get your wish.

@Bluesqueakpip, re spoilers.

Sorry if I startled you with spoiler talk. The @HTPBDET post I was referring to was in the spoiler forum, but his ‘Doctor’s funeral’ idea was based on spoiler-free thoughts (mostly […]

Don’t have much time to hang about here at the moment (deadlines again) but had to say thank you for @HTPBDET for sharing great (happy and sad)  memories, so eloquently. I squeeeed* at the stories you name-checked […]

@HTPBDET please do keep rambling on.

Really enjoyed reading your memories and what the show means to you.
I love the fact that we have many voices here, from the tender to the silly, and so glad people know […]

@HTPBDET
 
I wanted to give your post a little time to sink in before I responded, so apologies for the delay.
 
On two or three occasions now, I have had a strong emotional response to a post that was […]

@HTPBDET

Really great posts. I suggested this as a way we could explore what we thought of the various Doctors in whatever form you wanted, and they are exactly what I wanted to see.

In the beginning, I […]

@HTPBDET – belated thanks for the info on Hartnell as the 1st doc (or not).  Brain of Morbius was actually the first Doctor Who novel I read, but I’ve never seen it and my memory has done a Doctor, to coin a […]

@HTPBDET

Your thoughts and memories on Hartnell are well considered incisive and powerful. Looking at the stars for the Tardis is so emotive. You have a writer’s sensibility about you. This is a compliment and […]

@htpbdet – 99.9999% certain that these are not cybus cybermen (and nor were the ones in A Good Man…

I’m assuming they are the last dregs left from after revenge of the cybermen, post Glitter Wars (if they […]

@HaveYouFedTheFish

“@HTPBDET – 100% agree with your precis of Season Six! But this season is different – if there has been an equivalent of Rivers bald “imprisoned for murdering the best man in the Universe” […]
