In memory of the late and sadly missed @HTPBDET, could we watch The Enemy of The World? That was where his avatar came from.

I remember, when we were all excited about the rediscovery, that he said Enemy of the World should preferably be seen before Web of Fear.

What a lovely post.

Made me think of @HTPBDET as well, but not just in a sad way.

(And not least because it looks like Moffat is going to knock the “haters” into a cocked hat by producing something that is going to blow minds all over the place with something of real quality.

I am so sad to hear @HTPBDET is no longer on this plane of existence with us, and damn it is just not fair <shakes fist at universe> that he didn’t get to see the 50th nor we to enjoy his spiffy comments on it.
