hello all. I can certainly have a go at putting a page up for The Daleks but if @craig has got an update in mind I wouldn’t want to interfere. (But if there’s anything I can do help, then do just give me a shout….)

Well, since we don’t have a dedicated page for the colourised Dalek omnibus (if that’s what we should call it), I’d just like to say that I thought that was great. I loved the colour choices that maintained a lovely 60s vibe (the palette reminded me of the TV21 Daleks strip at points) and the additional music was great too. A wonderful update imo…[Read more]

BBC APPROVED SPOILERS...

@blenkinsopthebrave and @winston

Greetings, fellow bonkerisers, and thanks for the kind words. And yes, it was just a quick sketch this time. Hopefully will have time for something else later. Hope you’re both as psyched for the specials as I am. (Tho must admit I’m also quite looking forward to the colourised Daleks….)

Well, it’s been a while since I posted anything here but here’s a quick, if rather sketchy, take on 15.

And @impuredalek — I’m actually pretty excited for Ncuti. He strikes me as having the sufficient level of personal exuberance required for the part these days and which I felt Whittaker (and Eccleston for that matter) kind of lacked….

Hi @janetteb and @blenkinsopthebrave — glad to see you’re both hanging in there. RL is largely fine, if verging on the weird at times. Hope you’re both doing well too. And yes, I’ll accept that challenge. Will try to come up with a portrait of 15 soon (might even do 14 as well).

And just an addendum to the post about the Whoniverse above, it…[Read more]

Hello all and apologies for not being around and especially for the tardi(s)ness in keeping up with the avalanche of Who news we’ve been getting of late (where’s Wolfweed when you need him?)

Anyway, since it drops tomorrow, I thought I’d make our dwindled but hardcore band aware of this, in case you weren’t already. Can’t say I’m that…[Read more]

Thanks for the new sofa and jolly spiffy it is too. With regards, to the conversation on the previous sofa, yes, I must admit to a moment of squee when I saw Meep and the Wrath Warriors — a really interesting one to bring to the screen, I think as they strike me as some of the most comic book-ey characters you could name but it looks…[Read more]

@blenksinsopthebrave —

That trailer is certainly eliciting a sense of anticipation that had been missing in the Chibs era — and I say that as someone who wasn’t the biggest fan of the 10/Donna pairing. It will be nice to have them back tho. What’s really got me stoked tho is the prospect of seeing live-action versions of what to me look very…[Read more]

Me again. Just to echo @juniperfish‘s thoughts on WhitDoc. It is indeed a shame that the Doctor’s flirtatious arrogance was excised from this interpretation. I look forward, now that the fact of a female Doctor has been established, to seeing more courage in this direction in the future. And, yeah, I was also surprised at how lacklustre an end…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave and @bluesqueakpip —

I’m with Pip on this one. While there are crash-bang-wallop shows on Disney+, the general trend, as far as I can see, has been for character and plot driven series. WandaVision, Obi-Wan Kenobi and especially Loki (which is so timey-wimey that you’d swear that Moffat had had a hand in it) have all looked…[Read more]

@translatorcircuit

As the whole process of regeneration is a natural thing, what possible explanation can there be for these dark roots?! Don’t forget than the explanation must fit in with the story.

Not sure it does really though. I think the regenerated body has to be starting point that can then be altered as any biological body would. O…[Read more]

I suppose it’s symptomatic of Chibs’ era that it’s taken me this long to muster up the enthusiasm to watch and put some thoughts together. And I have to admit that I watched The Power of the Doctor in a state of anxious frustration – constantly willing it to be better than it actually ended up being. Frustration, I think, will be the definin…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave —

Sadly, Harold Saxon would be a model of competence, probity and intelligence compared to what we’ve been saddled with….

@dentarthurdent

What @bluesqueakpip said. I believe the prevalent theory at the moment is that this new Rose is new character and not some new version of the original Rose (there is a more specific theory but I think I’ll save that for the Spoilers section). As to Yasmin Finney’s credentials, they look pretty solid. I’ve only checked out a couple…[Read more]
