I was called out today, but have just watched that documentary and highly recommend it. A lovely reflection of fan enthusiasm after reading unhinged internet comments, and just fantastic to see the creativity and diverse nature of fandom.

It was interesting to see the spread of the demographics as they moved around.…[Read more]

In the interests of peace, harmony and other squishy stuff, School Reunion was in @Juniperfish‘s list. I went for Girl in the Fireplace (or the the sheer sentimental value of Sarah Jane is hugely tempting)

Thank you for the link @Juniperfish That was an interesting exercise. I voted as follows,

1 The Doctor Dances two parter

2 Girl in the Fireplace

3 Blink

4 Turn Left. (Though Silence in the Library was a very strong contender there.)

Specials, Waters of Mars

5 Time of Angels. (A very tough choice. There were so many contenders, ie Eleventh…[Read more]

@Juniperfish @Purofilion

You. Stole. My. List.

Haha, me too, pretty much. Though there were some tough choices, esp in series 6, 7 and 8.

I liked RTD’s comment that you can’t have a 10 year anniversary straight after a 50th one.  Who can’t?? 😉

@Craig

I second @Juniperfish‘s hope that you don’t have to remove the PM function. @FatManInABox You’re not missing anything, believe me 😉

@Juniperfish

I really like the idea that Amelia made him real.

I do too! I’m sure that m’collegue @Rob will confirm that some of the best ideas come to you when you are stood genital deep in an exploratory trench in icy weather! This was one of them. 😀

@Juniperfish @nerys

For all sorts of reasons that Doctor-Amy-Rory dynamic is truly special…[Read more]

@Juniperfish I too enjoyed the relationship between Amy and Eleven. For me it took on a Peter Pan quality … except that unlike Peter Pan’s Wendy (who as a grownup feels she is too old for such things), the adult Amy gets to fulfill the wishes of her child self, Amelia, and go on adventures with her Doctor. Their relationship had a wonderful…[Read more]

Thanks for the link @Juniperfish. Nice to know that RTD still watches the show “religiously”. Now he is back in the UK maybe he will pen an episode or two.

Cheers

@Pedant Love the Dr Who tube map – that’s a work of beauty and genius!

@CedarBranchTardi haha It’s not just Time that’s a a “big ball of timey wimey wibbly wobbly… stuff” – unpicking Dr Who (esp SM’s plots) is likely to turn your brain into the same 😀

@Juniperfish Thanks for the link. Nice to see RTD back and working again. I believe he…[Read more]

@Juniperfish – Thanks for the Graun link to the National TV awards. That’s outrageous Capaldi’s not been shortlisted! Any one of his episodes could qualify, but his overall development/slow unveiling of the character throughout all of series 8 is deserving.

Btw is anyone else having the same problem as I am unravelling the new Graun design?…[Read more]

@Juniperfish – you seem to have got the hang of it OK 🙂

And thanks for posting – great song from one of my fave bands.

This popped up when I was watching it – 3/5 mile in 10 Seconds

Live at Woodstock – amazing live band; Grace Slick had one of THE great rock voices.

Also found this short…[Read more]

Thanks to @Blenkinsopthebrave, beautiful toast. (#36737)

To new friends, old ones, lost ones and those who are just temporarily AWOL

Special thanks to our mighty Emperor @Craig and the mods @JimtheFish, @FatmaninaBox and @Phaseshift (I’m with you on 2014, it started off OK but I’m not sorry to see the back of it! (Loved your snow pic from last…[Read more]

@ScaryB @blenkinsopthebrave @Whisht @Juniperfish @Barbaralefty @Spider @pedant @fatmaninabox @jimthefish @phaseshift

Thank you all, and apologies to you all (and anyone else who got a PM). I’ve deleted the offending user. It always seems to happen when I’m out! Just got home after a night out with my brother (first since we fell out over Scottish…[Read more]

Thank you @FatManinaBox 🙂

@Juniperfish – A 2015 Who Wishlist? Great idea

I second @Blenkinsopthebrave‘s suggestions –

1. An appearence by William Russell (that more than anything).

2. The return of River Song.

And hi fives to @Whisht for a January special – I think that’s probably being greedy, but we deserve it haha. An extra couple of…[Read more]

@Juniperfish

For 2015, I wish for:

1. An appearence by William Russell (that more than anything).

2. The return of River Song.

But they said it was about friendship, so that’s OK, right?  Ta @scaryB

@juniperfish, agreed, so much. Too much! (Oh dear)

Missy as Nurse Ratched. Flipping heck, I think I need to go lie down

awww @scaryB – you always say the nicest things ( 😳 )

@juniperfish – is it wrong to wish for a January Special?

🙂

@Purofilion Glad you’re enjoying Buffy. Season 3 is great. (And remind me never to get on your wrong side, haha)

@Juniperfish Yup, everyone should have a Giles 🙂

@Whisht

You ARE special 😉

(And don’t confuse avatars with real people – they’re not always an accurate representation! Beware of dream crabs and perception filters!!)

(If @Craig‘s not around, maybe 1 of the other mods can deal with it? @Phaseshift, @JimtheFish,@FatmaninaBox?)

@Juniperfish Squashed chocolate treats – I thought I’d found all…[Read more]
