Currently rewatching while finishing off the jelly babies and fishfingers. I really enjoyed it. The story was a simple framework upon which to hang the real matter of the episode, how the Doctor deals with his new body and how Clara accepts it. Peter Capaldi does not leap into the role as Matt did. He fumbles about, feeling his way, a new,…[Read more]

Hehe!

@Magnetite – I know, it’s like he just keeps going on some sci-fi high! I love it! Very excited to find out how Sherlock survived…

@Magnetite – he didn’t get everything his way, though. He had to sit through Doctor Who Live – TheAfterparty – and not physically attack the producers responsible. 😈

@magnetite

Ah..those Christmas episode G blogs always seem to draw a higher proportion of negative comments. A combination of indigestion, apres-dinner wind, and Santa not delivering a hoped for prezzie I’ve always assumed.

Still a bit too emotional to analyse anything TBH but I’ll echo @Magnetite‘s ‘rather splendid’.

The Grauniad seems to assume that the Time Lords restarted the clock on the regenerations, making Capaldi no. 1 in a new sequence but was that explicit?  It makes sense, I hope that is it.  God, I’ll miss Matt though.

Apparently,  ‘Caves of An…[Read more]

@Magnetite – Apparently the cinema clips are not on the DVD or the Blu-Ray…

@Craig @Magnetite

Oooh. Thanks for the new countdown clock

😀

@Magnetite Thanks for reminding me. Is done now.

@Phaseshift @Craig @JimtheFish

I think the site thinks I’m spamming again 🙁  My last 2 posts (ref @magnetite, website comments) aren’t appearing (they’re duplicates btw)

@Magnetite

Snap! I said very similar thing – Xmas analogy etc – the other day On the Sofa. (I was a bit more longwinded tho 😉

@Magnetite – I think that No. 10 might be a Yum-Yum…

Or is it just a plain iced bun?

@TardisBlue *waves back* My pleasure – simply one quick search away. I hope a lot use the opportunity! Haha, I just remembered Marta’s journey around earth to tell everyone to think of the word ‘Doctor’ when the countdown ends. Will be something like that for me personally.

I am doing something similar @TardisBlue. I invited the only friend who…[Read more]

@JimtheFish @Phaseshift @Pedant @Wolfweed @HaveYouFedTheFish (good to see you’re still about somewhere btw 🙂 )

Ah, the Graun is just irresistible sometimes 😉 And it’s fun to dip in there occasionally, just don’t get angry.  You all made me LMAO, esp @Wolfweed (a pithy, pointed 6 words). But not quite as much as the person who accused me of…[Read more]

@OsakaHatter, @thommck @Magnetite @Steve-Thorp – all avatars received safe and sound, thnx

@Whohar you are completely unpixilated now 🙂

@Miapatrick I’ve no idea what you did when you were uploading, but it’s great. (And agree with you re bonkersness award for @Shazzbot 😉 )

@Shazzbot – we could invent a new drinking game – and have a drink…[Read more]

@Magnetite

Definitely see it in the cinema if you can, I’d say. Even hold off watching on TV first – go to the cinema with blinkers and headphones on just in case (take them off once you’re inside of course!)

😀

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

@Shazzbot

@Magnetite well, at least Brian Blessed could drown out Murray Gold’s supposedly overly OTT music!*

LMAO at that.

Only way Brian Blessed would be cool is if they gag him, LOL. (Would also […]
