What do I mean? Have you watched Elementary?  Sherlock Holmes it ain’t! More what I’d call a ‘spoof.’

If you enjoy it, fine there is always room for spoof TV.

@winston

They all regenerated in front of our eyes. If she is your Doctor, that’s fine. I am not that easily pleased unfortunately.

Damn! There’s me thinking I was being subtle. *winks*

@missrori

I’m alone here I know.  But I am not surprised about the lack lustre response for the next series.

Perhaps when the REAL Doctor returns, things will be different.

Still my opinion. *grins*

@cathannabel

I never know what to say at a time like this.

My husband (who didn’t share my love of the Doctor, but watched them anyway) died after five months of diagnosis.

That was bad enough, but suddenly, for no reason? I really feel for you my dear.

Sorry I cannot think of any quote that would be appropriate except possibly:

“Everything…[Read more]

Thank goodness for that! The only news which (for me) could top this, is the return of Steven Moffat!

As for Olly Alexander being the next Doctor (maybe) I don’t care. As long as it is a Male, British and he can act,

I am content.

As for JW, if she had been a good enough actress, she could have made up for the bad writing.

The BBC have got…[Read more]

Oh yes, he waits to get to his bits! I also love the scene when he realizes that he is ‘Scottish’ and can blame the English for everything.

Apart from arthritis I’m surviving. The is Covid is really reducing the ‘surplus population,’ how is it where you are?

@dentarthurdent

Allo, allo was one of my favourite shows. Most of the time it brought tears to my eyes. Remember when Edith used to sing, everyone put cheese in their ears?

Mr. C. became MY Doctor when he said:   ” And don’t look in that mirror. It’s absolutely furious.”

Missy

Both leaving?

Whoopee! The best news I’ve had for a long time.

I finished watching a series on Netflix last night called Another life. It is science fiction and I really enjoyed it, good news is that there is to be a second series. However to get to the point *rolls eyes* two of the actors in the series were in Doctor Who. One is the actor who played the hero in Doctor Mysterio (sp) and the other is the…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent

Like you, I judge an episode (or film) by whether I enjoy it or not. If I do, I don’t question it. If not, then I watch again to find out why.

Unlike my friend who analyses it as she goes along?

Life is too short and complicated enough as it is.

Then again, if part of the enjoyment is to analyse, fair enough.

@janetteb

As you…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent

I think it helps when people don’t analyse episodes. I either enjoy or don’t.

An English teacher friend offered to show me how to analyse  stories, films, plays etc – I hadn’t a clue how to go about it.

I turned her down, she seemed to spend more time analysing and less enjoying.

Still, that’s my opinion.

Missy

@janetteb

Agreed, I didn’t see it coming either, as you say, obvious and classic Moffat material.

Chibnall could take lessons from Mr. M.

I wonder what INSIDE  MAN will be like?

Missy

@blenkinsopthebrave

Hello everyone. I have been very quiet, but have read most of your posts – except for the one above???

Frankly, I have reached the point where I don’t mind who plays the Doctor, as long as it’s a male actor and British.

If this makes me sexist, hard cheese. *grins*

Missy

It’s so  difficult when there are so many to choose from, but no one (I think?)has mentioned THE CARETAKER.

Not, I agree, one of the most brilliant episodes, but one where the Doctor and Clara finally fit together and some of the

dialogue among the funniest. Although the episode is co-written, I put the humour down to Mr. Moffat.

Here is an…[Read more]

@winston: Yes, me too. At my great age you would think I would have got over it? Not at all.🙄 Yes, thank you, I am bearing up. As I tell my children I still have a pulse!😄 What about you?

Good to hear from you, I was feeling invisible! 🖐

I too am afraid of the dark and still make sure that neither foot is hanging over the side of my bed – just in case (as Clara does) someone or something, grabs it!

Weeping angels definitely frightening and the House, as you say (love that one, trust Neil Gaiman to think of bringing the…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent

There we disagree. I rate the VASHTA NERADA as the most terrifying.

River asks if they live in every shadow, and the Doctor replies: “No. But any shadow.”

I’d rate the Weeping angels second, but at least you can see them.

Missy

How could I forget to include River Song? My over all favourite character after Rose.

She was more like Jack though, popping in and out, so not really a companion.
