@Phaseshift and @FatManInABox thank you – I might watch that.

@Mudlark – thanks very much for the condolences/ health wishes – much appreciated. You could dress up as River – go for it! x

@ScaryB <waves fishily> I’m still not well, alas, but always cheered by comrades on the couch here 🙂

Which Doctor do you fancy dressing up as for the Doctor Who Forum calendar? xx

Well I never really got into McCoy’s Doctor – I was on hiatus from Who at the time – so it’s interesting to see him now. I do like the Scottish (being of Scots stock myself).

His father / child  slash mentor/ mentee relationship with Ace is entirely believable – a million miles away from Ten/ Rose or Four/ Romana 2.

This Doctor’s patrician…[Read more]

@DanMartinUK

Sorry you had a wobble and the commentators are getting you down on The Graun.

I think very fondly of the times we had on your blog – although I do spend my time here instead these days because we have  a collective spirit of enjoyment and a (fan) culture here.

The Guardian would have to consider changing the way it mods in order…[Read more]

I’m with you @ScaryB – Gallifrey is out there, just not where Missy said, and, as you say, the Doctor has returned there in the TARDIS with Clara without knowing.

I’m also sold on Clara as Missy and the Doctor’s daughter 🙂

Certainly I’m still wondering whether Clara is the Doctor’s progeny – he loves her the way one loves one’s child -…[Read more]

So Missy is alive (one of the immutable laws of the Who universe is that the Master never really dies) and Gallifrey is out there somewhere.

Truth, lies and remembrance were the timely themes.

Clara telling Cyber-Danny, before she realised it was him, that the Doctor was the most important man in her life – followed by Danny’s decision not to…[Read more]

@nerys Welcome! Is that nerys after the wonderful character in Deep Space Nine?

@JanetteB I suspect I might join you with the tissues

@ScaryB A big swig of TARDIS red seems in order 🙂

Cybermen ahoy! Good luck everyone!

Sprinkles a tonne of glitter on the sofa  in anticipation of the finale this evening (oops @ScaryB – hope it doesn’t get in your tipple).

Then sniffs a bit, because it can’t be the finale already, can it?

I’m still stuck on the idea that Clara is the Doctor and Missy’s kid in some timey-wimey manner 🙂

I also still like the idea that somehow she’s already dead. It fits with the underworld theme.

@Phaseshift Lol at your letter and yes, I’d be delighted to dress-up for the calendar too in a long and multi-coloured scarf.

@JimtheFish I agree that…[Read more]

@DrBen @Pedant Lol 🙂

This one is definitely my fave:

“If the Doctor regenerated into a woman, would he change his name to The Nurse?

No. Because a woman doctor is called ‘a doctor’.”

I like the time loop theories. Just as I like the idea that Clara is already dead. We know something is going on “up-time-stream” already, given that the Doct…[Read more]

@Craig Spiffy new avatar –  looking good in blue eye-shadow 🙂

Everyone who has been speculated that Clara is already dead – oooh shivers – I like it.

@ScaryB I agree with you re the kiss, that the Master likes to freak the Doctor out, but… I also reckon the Doctor and the Master had a bit of a fling when they were young at the Ac…[Read more]

@Margaret-Blaine Nice to see a mention of @HTPBDET

I too think of him, and wonder what he would have made of the new series. He was a Clara fan but not a Smith fan. I think he’d have enjoyed Capaldi’s Doctor. I raise a glass to him – what a lovely man.

@PhileasF  It’s obviously worth re-watching that post-it note scene with the pause button for…[Read more]

@Phaseshift @JimtheFish @Craig Yes PLEASE to the calendar . It could be Master/ Doctor themed featuring (a different) Missy with each of the twelve docs. I’ll get my Fourth costume together 🙂

@Serahni

Well, apparently The Doctor has a patch that makes her dream so vividly, she thinks it’s reality.  >.>  That might be…important

Yes, it might…[Read more]

@Bluesqueakpip – agreed! He’s her grandfather or great grandfather and we will happily consign Eleven’s inappropriate remarks about her skirt to the time vortex!

@Phaseshift I too am looking forward to the pics of the Mary Poppins outfit. Just think of all the fun you can have with wigs as well. And the Master/ Doctor snog photos, across all twelve incarnations, which will now pervade conventions.

@Spider I liked your journey to acceptance 🙂

Looking forward to finding out how the Master escaped the…[Read more]

Well, well, a long overdue Doctor/ Master snog… some corners of the fan fiction universe will be beside themselves with delight and others… not. Moffat is a ridiculous troll sometimes – he’s just waiting for all the forums to explode one way or another 🙂

And @Phaseshift I think you can congratulate yourself on the raised from the dead…[Read more]
