Yes – These are some of the watches from TKOM (But whose they were is unknown)…

Thank you and sorry to @wolfweed, @Craig, @Bluesqeekpip, @JimTheFish @Rorysmith @Bleckonstopthebrave @nerys @winston @missy and @whisit (and anyone else I missed, I did make a list) for you kind words and no responding before.

My stepson spent most of the summer having a succession of mental crises (I did, to be fair, mentally implore him to at…[Read more]

@JimTheFish

I suppose it’s impossible to get hold of a copy of this now… (I just looked it up! Time travel, anyone?)

Well, that was fun.

Much as I enjoyed seeing Barbara chew gum and kick ass (and the gum was an illusion), the acting that seriously impressed me was William Hartnell in the scene where Barbara wakes up and sees the reality. I’ll have to watch this again, later. How did Hartnell manage to make himself seem so very, very creepy?

@Craig – the irony…[Read more]

Missy

@jimthefish  I have to agree with you about Susan being a Time Lord. She seems a little dense to me. I can imagine her driving 12 crazy. “stop trying to swim”, “don’t wander away” “don’t follow strange footprints” etc.

@JimTheFish

In terms of the episode itself, there’s more than a bit of Nation hackery going on, even at this early stage in proceedings.

That’s a bit unfair, Jim. Keys of Marinus was apparently written because Malcolm Hulke’s The Hidden Planet was sent back for rewrites (it never made it to screen) and they needed something in a hurry to fill t…[Read more]

@JimTheFish (Et All)

Well I made it to Cardiff at the weekend. On Saturday I went to Cardiff Market, a location from Torchwood: ‘Small Worlds’. It’s a really cool building. (When I got back home I rewatched the scene. I noticed that there’s a continuity error – The brolly shop is open then closed in a split-second!)

Sunday was ‘Doctor Who Day’.…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave @jimthefish @cathannabel I agree also that this thread has probably run it’s course, though not necessarily that it’s having a negative impact. I don’t think opinions are going to change or solidify very much until we actually see episodes with the new Doctor and showrunner, which is further off than I’d like.

We should keep…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave @jimthefish I agree.  There’s little more any of us can add, pro or anti, until we can actually see JW in the role and see CC running the show.  I am sure there will be plenty to discuss then, but for now, we’re going round in circles somewhat I think.

Just popped by to support @jimthefish‘s suggestion that this thread has probably outlived its use-by date. It seems to be sucking all the oxygen from what might otherwise be some really interesting discussions, reflections and outrageously bonkers theories on other aspects of the show we all love so much.

@JimTheFish – Thanks! I’ve not been to a Doctor Who exhibition since the Kelvingrove in 2009.

Before that, was MOMI on London’s South Bank (26th century Earth!) and a small one at Bristol Museum in the 90s. Longleat in the 80s.

I’m a lucky bunny!
