Hmm. After Broadchurch (all three) I can’t say that I’m that hopeful anyway. Good in parts, but flawed overall. Still he deserves a chance. I always thought Moff wrote too many episodes (but then the arcs were his idea so he didn’t have much choice).  If he steps back and uses a strong writing team, he might survive with his…[Read more]

I want impressed by James Strong’s opinion, especially if it reflects Chibnall’s. I like the sound of bold and risky, but it come across as a bit more RTD than Moff in tone. In any case, it certainly should be different. A happy mix between the two might work better for the larger audience.

I am inclined to agree. Indeed, after reading the RT article and the TV article, I had this vision of S11 opening with the body of Nardole lying in the sand at the base of the Dover cliffs as the Time Lords rope off the area…

@bluesqueakpip @missrori @jimthefish @blenkinsopthebrave @thane15

Absolutely spot on. The failure to save the young child, is the most unusual thing we’ve seen in S10 (I also thought the lack of even an attempt to save the Girl in the puddle was also problematic, although not completely outside the range of possibilities). Things have escalated…[Read more]

@Nick, @JimTheFish, @MissRori

I wonder if the other thing that has changed in the relationship – apart from Missy’s sense of it – is that the moral dynamic has changed. Pre Gap, the Doctor had a sense of moral superiority over the Master. Yes, fine, he was a thief and a rebel – but he wasn’t a mass murderer.

Oops. Or as Missy would say,…[Read more]

I agree with you Jim, Corbyn does indeed seem very open and honest (I’ll talk to anyone conversation I sawe on TV springs to mind). I’m not a Cobynite, but I like a lot of what I hear him say. I’m not so sure about those around him. Broadening appeal is going to be hard. I’m not sure what it will take to convert a…[Read more]

@ScaryB  @JimtheFish  Gatiss wanted Peladon but I can’t say why he didn’t get it…..

My bonkers theory is that the Doctor is pregnant with Missy’s baby…

@jimthefish

And as pedant says, all it takes is a couple of shaky by-elections for the whole edifice to come tumbling around her ears.

Or for that matter, 4 or 5 Tory rebels. Woolaston and Soubry are still there…

As we say, just speculation.

@mirime:  I’ve only watched it once but didn’t he say ‘this is the other last of the Time Lords’

Yes he did.

@miapatrick:

Good point, but we are watching an episode written by Toby Whithouse, not Moffat, so who nose?
