@JimTheFish Means something to me. Must’ve read at least half of his output. At least he has a fantastic legacy. And he got away with a fantastic moustache for many years.

@Phaseshift, @Jimthefish

I am not convinced that we will see Missy. I suspect that this will be the Doctor facing off with the TLs by himself. Missy stories tend to require Missy to be the central agent driving the story. But as this is the conclusion to a three part story, I don’t see Missy as part of the mix. Clara, yes. Because in some sense…[Read more]

It’s definitely the lighting. The coat looks dark blue but it still has the dark red velvet glow.

@JanetteB and @JimTheFish

He said at the Festival that if he’d followed his original plan, he’d have already left by now.

He’s taking it a year at a time – the BBC keep handing him new contracts, and he’s still coming up with new ideas, so as long as that continues…

@jimthefish  Thanks for that interestng interview. I would never find those things on my own.

@fatmaninabox   Very cute little clip that I got some giggles from. Thanks for the link. Hope we get a Peter Jackson episode in the future.

@mersey   Thanks for that interview. Lots of info behind the making of the 50th.

@jimthefish That is indeed a “splendid” interview. I however was rather disturbed by the blurb for part two which includes those dire words, “his plans to leave Doctor Who.” I hope those are long term plans.

@fatmaninabox I just watched the Jackson vid’. It does indeed looks as though discussions are under way for a Jackson directed episode. It…[Read more]

@puroandson

Yep – each new copy is from the same….er….master, the teleport buffer (as noted by @JimTheFish).

It was also a bit like Memento – each reloaded Doctor had to learn the same hard lesson, with no prior knowledge, before taking his bird peck at the the diamond wall, until spent, then using his body to fuel the new one, while leaving…[Read more]

@JimTheFish– I tried and failed to get into his ‘m’ books till he died. Then I binge-read them all, and I think he could have been a Douglas Adams to modern Who. I really liked ‘Player of Games’, I’m a major fan of ‘The glass bead game’, that is probably my favourite sci-fi, and I love the way the reader is expected to fill in the gaps.

Nifti- I love it.

I hadn’t seen @django s comment on The Prisoner when I typed this on the G, but just to echo @jimthefish:

Dan,

So, @PhaseShift was right last week about Gallifrey returning, because what else could have been about to happen? But it isn’t clear whether links between the “Skaro degradations”, the “Could’ve-Been King” and the Knightmare Child were…

@Jimthefish– which is why I said Ian Banks rather than Ian M Banks- but his sci fi in those two is my favourite Banks writing, over the real world in those books, and the sci-fi in his other series- though he never wrote a book I didn’t like, except maybe, confusingly, ‘a song of stone’

@JimTheFish

That would be too beautiful for words. So we need a new acronym. NIFTI (Nicking Ideas From The Internet) 🙂

BBC APPROVED SPOILERS...

@serahni  Post 47463 — I’ve read that Dollard say there *was* a short scene between Clara’s collapse on the stones and the Doctor closing the outer door in which he demanded that Ashildr leave Rigsy his memory so that upon return to normal London, Rigsy can have Clara’s body looked after and her family and the school be informed about her death.…[Read more]

@fatmaninabox, @jimthefish, @phaseshift

I was trying to track down an old post I made to try and answer the questions of @frobisher and @nerys above. In my post #34221, I talked about making a post on the Trailers thread. But I do not seem to be able to find that thread. Any advice?

@craig, @jimthefish, @fatmaninabox, @phaseshift

When posting, is there a way of doing a link to a specific post (#xxxxx) that would take you directly to that post?
