Thinking about it – what made all the people taken particularly susceptible to the dream crabs? Were they all people struggling with grief of one kind or another and who were therefore less likely to fight the dream worlds on offer?

We see “sexy” sigh at the end when she returns to her real life and her wheelchair, and we see “dancing girl” upset…[Read more]

Face reality or have your brains sucked out like ice-cream seems a bit harsh for a Christmas message, but I suppose “figure out who you want to be with and don’t let your pride stand in the way” is the heart-warming under-belly.

I did enjoy the Doctor looking both squeamish and terribly pleased when Clara hugged him tightly in Santa’s sleigh 🙂

@Phaseshift Merry Chrimbo – I’m just listening to the fourth episode now.

The loucheness of Gaiman and the humour of Pratchett are a great combination.

Agnes Nutter must be a tribute to Alice Nutter.

And, as usual, the angels are always sneakier than the demons 🙂

Hmmn – well, there were some jarring notes for me – why have the bit at the start where dancing girl tells us and her companions the Professor put his hand on her knee unwanted – unpleasant and unnecessary. And did we really need it spelled out for us in words that the dream crabs were face-hugger tributes?

However, some rough edges to the scri…[Read more]

That’s a nice timey-wimey Christmas wish @Arbutus 🙂

I’d like to raise a glass to @Craig for all his hard work creating and holding this charming Who space throughout the year.

And to our moderators past and present, currently @JimtheFish @FatManInABox and @Phaseshift for stirling services to keeping the sofa comfy.

And also a toast to absent…[Read more]

Well, there isn’t a Radio thread. Do we need one @Craig ?

Wondering if anyone else has been listening to R4’s adaptation of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s Good Omens?

The first and second episodes are on iplayer and the third episode is on tonight.

Lots of fun so far (I am only on ep one at the moment).  Peter Serafinowicz makes a very good Crowley.

@JimtheFish @Craig @Blenkinsopthebrave @BarbaraLefty @JanetteB @Whisht @Lisa @Bluesqueakpip @FatManInABox

I got the tenth – amusing, because I think he’d get on my nerves in actuality, a lot more than eleven or twelve…

Happy Solstice to everyone on the Who forum! Winter solstice for those of us in the Northern hemisphere – so I raise a c…[Read more]

Tomorrows Worlds and the Power of Time Travel is on BBC 2 next… probably some Dr. Who clips in there <settles on the sofa and munches glittery biscuits>

@Purofilion @Pedant and @JimtheFish

Awww – just dropping in on the Buffy-fest to say how much this show still has a special place in my heart. It ends up being a heroines journey to the underworld story for our times.

I think writers Marti Noxon and Jane Espenson should get especial credit alongside Joss, because, looking at Dollhouse (which I…[Read more]

Thanks @Pedant 🙂 She looks a bit fed up with doing it in this one, I think!

Wooo hoooo – a brand new sofa! Hastily scatters glitter, biscuit crumbs and iridescent fish scales – well – it has to be well worn to be loved.

@DanMartinUK  The comments closed on your Jenna piece before I could comment! I am still holding out for Clara as the Doc’s grand-daughter or his pathway to his grand-daughter in some way. River’s co…[Read more]

I will definitely also vote for The Cloven Hoof joining @Craig and @JimtheFish , The Beast Below would also work, although I do like The Fox Goes Free very much @Phaseshift 🙂

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

@Phaseshift Happy belated birthday! Sounds like you had fun in style.

Urgh yes Black Friday is a hideous idea. As a counter-point I enjoy the Reverend Billy and his Church of Stop Shopping https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUiUrEqmBQA

@Craig Thanks for the good wishes re health – it’s been a tough one.

I want to do 4 for affectionate reasons, but I suppose 3 would work – I’m not that fond of 5 or 6.

Did anyone watch “Tomorrow’s Worlds” (thanks @Phaseshift and @FatManInaBox). It was enjoyable if, of course, missing many things from Flash Gordon to ET to Blade Runner, although…[Read more]
