I’m of an age to remember the satsumas/tangerines in stockings from Father Christmas too, but my belief was waning when it was […]

I must admit that I wondered whether the mummy was going to turn out to be Danny – even in the Doctor Who Extra you never got to see who the actor actually was. Not to be, but it was an quirky thought at the time.

Also, having watched the full version of…[Read more]

I hummed and hawed about going to the pictures this time as I’d had a good time for the 50th in a packed house and spent the night in the Travelodge next door (I live in a small town with no cinema). When I first looked at booking I was pleased that Vue was using a bigger auditorium…[Read more]

Just a pity that we now find out that they aren’t DMs after all, but Loakes – http://www.britboot.co.uk/

Peter Capaldi bought them himself in Camden

(Sorry – was wanting to quote this from the Graun for a couple of days…)

So sorry to hear your news – you and your Mum look after each other when the time comes.

Definitely more Mod than Teddy Boy – no brothel creepers here! (And I’m not that old to be able to remember Teddy Boys the first time around!)

Pressure of work, blah, blah blah..

Anywho,

Well, they’ve finally introduced Peter Capaldi’s new outfit and I think it’s rather good:

although I can’t say I was looking at it too hard.

Perhaps YouTube will see an explosion of ‘Doctor Wig’ over the next few days…

So much answered, great cameos from the past, and they obviously held some of the budget from TDotD.

One minor thought – was Handles channelling K9 and/or Mr Smith?

Oh, and the ARSE has…[Read more]

A bit like @Arkleseizure I’ve been reading like mad of late but not posting. I also was a bit taken with the tick box under the login section – “Remember me”. Very Clara-esque, although it’s not unique to this site 😉

Anywho (sorry, can’t…[Read more]

That wooden Cyberman is pretty amazing. Even if it isn’t real wood but some sort of resin (I’m no expert), it still must be one of the best props in the series. The bit in the middle of its chest isn’t wood though, so the Sonic might have some use 😉

And from the broadcast times, it looks as if TTotD might have a pretty…[Read more]

I worked for 10 years with teens like this in Florida – I now work with Adults in the North East of England, so have no idea – are British teens like this now too? Is that a good thing? Or have I just lost touch with my inner teen 😀

Not sure when it’s on elsewhere, although I’d imagine it’s on BBC America on the same day.

Thanks for finding that – just another fun bit of the whole evening’s experience. Are these clips on the Bluray? Not that it would do me any good as I have a cathode ray TV and DVD player – but it would be good for those who can experience the HD 3D thing – chin, wrinkles and all…

Heh, that’s what I get when I miss a day or two! Great minds…

The build-up to the 50th…[Read more]

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!

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.

I raised a glass of white Zinfandel to @HTPBDET at 9 last night and thought of all those in the pub last night. I was pretty […]

I love regeneration episodes – there’s nothing more exciting! And in the anniversary year we get to see two regenerations… That’s pretty cool!

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

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?

I guess the Beeb decided that they had to put it out earlier than planned as it’s already been leaked.

Not usually lurking ‘On […]

And, if you saw the previous version of this, yes, it didn’t work!

Ah, the music – I have a 1990s tv with no added sound system, and yet I still can’t see the problem that some have with it! I am The Doctor is one of my favourite plays on Spotify!

And, is it […]

I’ve been wondering about the female Doctor idea and wasn’t overly keen at first, but I’ve just re-watched Joanna Lumley in the Comic Relief special […]
