@janetteB, I love Johnathan Strange… I love 18-early 19th century novels, and that is a wonderful example of an historical/fantasy novel that fits well in the time period.  And Handmaids tale is in my top three […]

and, HaveYouFedTheFish: I did wonder about the photographs in the children’s home in TDOTM was it? Didn’t strike me as shots taken at Devils run.  River was, undoubtedly, alone, scared and a child in America at a […]

@HaveYouFedTheFish: re: fall of the eleventh- fall from grace-  I think that’s credible, given the whole ‘risen-fallen’ aspect of AGMGTW. That meaning has been established.

I seem to remember (ignoramus that I […]

@PhaseShift:

In fact she had a video boxed set in the 90’s. (I still find it weird to think that’s quite a while ago now.) So I was quite excited yet nervous to watch it again- was it actually any good? Have I […]

My mother got the Sapphire and Steel DVD boxed set for Christmass… anyone else here who used to watch it?

@Phasehift- I haven’t seen the new Being Human episode yet, will do on iplayer today. I did notice  that under the tv review for it today someone was asking if there would be a series blog, and it didn’t look like […]

@blenkinsopthebrave thank you. Interestingly, from TEH, I felt that 11 was such an old doctor. It made sense of River (either saying or implying) that ‘her’ doctor was older then 10. He really is. But then, Matt […]

This is a little embarrassing, really, but I’d have to say that in a way Eleven is my doctor.

We watched it in my house when I was younger, but I can only find annoyingly vague memories of various scenes. I […]

@PhaseShift– me too. Ihave to admit I haven’t seen much of the Older Who, and this does remind me more of HG Wells than it does of recent Who. Very chatty Darleks. I’m finding it a little confusing, but i do need […]

@phaseshift– re: eleventh hour- i do like that, though i can see that line coming simply through Moffit having the doctor do the thing with the pages, and then the analogy was too much fun to resist.

There are […]

Does anyone else find the lines: ‘the pond is yours. What is growing inside it, when it is ready, is ours’ incredibly creepy when you think back to demons run etc? And then shortly after, Madame Vastra commenting […]

Hya just one thought. I noticed in the first part of the season the doctor said ‘It’s new’ or ‘this is new’ in every episode. (I think.) And two times in this episode the doctor and his friend referred to the […]

This is great. Thanks Craig. Now I can antisocially obsess over Doctor Who all the time…
