As someone who deals with people for a living this site seems like a rather extended family. We’ve come together for Christmas and it’s now the Boxing Day blues at times. Grandad is in the corner with his pipe and slippers muttering, while the young ‘uns are playing with their new toys. And I’m not naming names…

The build-up to the 50th…[Read more]

I’m surprised that the often fickle IMDb has a 9.4 rating for TDotD – pleasantly surprised, that is!

Those who weren’t at the cinema and missed the extras at the beginning, at least one is now online starring Strax, Smith and Tennant, er Ron Burgundy!

@bluesqueakpip – I wonder if you’ve seen The Time Traveller’s Guide to Elizabethan England or read the book of the same name. Not sure if we’d even survive there unless the TARDIS was there to help

Mark Gatiss has just tweeted ‘Happy Boxing Day’.

That’s what this feels like, except for two things:

1. We can relive The Day again

2. We have another Christmas Day coming up in just over a month’s time!

Woot!

Wow, that was amazing!

Back at the hotel working my way through a packet of Jammie Dodgers and I can’t take the smile off my face.

It truly felt like a proper film and kudos to everyone at the Beeb.

More reflections tomorrow I’m sure, after I’ve seen it again.

As this might be the last time some of you look in before tomorrow, I hope that @Shazzbot @ScaryB @Bluesqueakpip @Juniperfish @Craig @JimTheFish @pedant @Whisht @DanMartinUK @Arkleseizure @Pufferfish (not forgetting @Airedales) have a great night on Friday – I can also imagine that the steam will be escaping the doors of the Dean Swift as various…[Read more]

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

There’s a rather splendid tour through the TARDIS on the BBC News website:

If you do a Google image search as @Craig suggests, it’s amazing what (or who) else turns up!

@ScaryB Phew, there were a couple of seats available for the ‘live’ show, so I’ll be with you all in spirit at least – unless anyone else here is going to be in Hartlepool…

Now, do I rent a car for the weekend or stay in a hotel….?

I dithered too long about booking at my nearest cinema, but I now see that the Vue – in Hartlepool at least – is showing it again at 9.30 pm.

Hmmm, do I book to see it in 3D after watching it earlier on the TV in what will have to be a hotel room before hotfooting it across the street?

So many active threads going at the moment, so I’m not sure if this has been covered yet, but Channel 5 are showing the Peter Cushing ‘Doctor Who’ films on the anniversary weekend:
