Obviously I have’t seen this yet, but I wanted to tick the box so I can see how many members participate. I have tried without making a comment, but it didn’t work.

Thane:

But I wonder about the focus on her colour, her sexuality and her deep voice. On the most horrible threads of the BTLers there’s much talk of her being a ‘man’ which is rude and gross. Mum’s had a word or two and then they attack her!

Still, one has to stand up! If they’re shooting at you, you know you’re doing something right.…[Read more]

I’ll add my two bob’s worth. Companion seems the right word to me, although in Clara’s case she was the Doctor’s carer, said with tongue in cheek of course.

As for the vault and its contents, I’m finished with speculation and shall wait until we find out. It will be interesting to see who came the closest.

Missy

@wolfweed; Thank you for the video. Mr. C is always entertaining.

Missy

@mudlark:   Ah, well thank you for that. Frankly the thought of  having to fix up our TV so that it can stream programmes, fills me with dread. Like you sorting out the computer when there is a problem, is about as far as my expertise stretches. Most things can be sorted simply by re starting the machine. There is always STAN, I suppose similar t…[Read more]

@ichabod:  Agreed — Moffat is fully capable of catching us up in a vortex of emotional arcs and call-backs, closing out with a lion’s  roar (“Take THAT!”); which would be, for me, more satisfying still.  Meantime, I’m not going anywhere — as long as I can watch PC and Bill, I’m in for the ride to the — bitter?  Uplifting?  Rip-roaring?  Sad…[Read more]

Very enjoyable, I watched the After show on YT and heard Steven Moffat’s explanation about cutting the Dalek scene.

Still a shame, but I could understand his reasoning.  I do believe they said something about it being on the special Edition? May watch again. he is a delight to watch and listen to, a natural comic.

Thank you again @jimthefish;

Missy

@mudlark; Ah! I thought, when we lived back home, that you did need a license for each TV. It’s good to hear that I was mistaken.

Whilst I’m here, have responded to my comments about technology? I feel that you did and I didn’t respond. Even clicking on your name and reading all your posts revealed nothing. *scratches head*

Missy

Right. I watched this again last night and realised what it was about the Doctor that was different. He acted towards Bill as if he were her Father. that’s the way it felt to me. I couldn’t understand why  I wanted to hug him, and it was just as I was nodding off the penny dropped. (as Mel/River would have said.)

In fact, I think he’s been…[Read more]

Did the quiz and got 9/10 I couldn’t remember the girls name.

I cannot add much more to the comments. I really enjoyed this episode. I found it more serious than the previous episodes and the Doctor …whimsical?  Is that the right word? He was different anyway, more gentle. Liked the reference to the colour of Jesus being a White Wash. Bill…[Read more]

@zeyra: The only one on your is I watch, is Sherlock.

Missy

@jimthefish; How rude of me!  Thank you so much for the info about the After show, I shall have a look.

@ichabod: No, I’m pretty sure it was fro Clara, because he heard her voice.

@winston: You took the words right out of my mouth. Yes I would like to hug him and I felt it even more so in Thin Ice.Thing is, it’s making it harder to say goodbye…[Read more]

Mr Murdoch ins’t popular here either. I hope with all my heart that he doesn’t get his claws into the BBC.

@mudlark: Thank you for that.  You have to pay for each TV don’t you?  That would cut people having one in every room. Does the VAN still go round the streets checking everyone?

I still feel that if they brought in the same here, we’d get b…[Read more]

@thane15: No, by all means, it’s a fair comment.

@tardigrade: Thanks for that, but even that information almost lost me. *blushes*

@ichabod: Ads? Humbug! I record everything we want to watch, and if I miss anything I watch iView.

I’ve heard a lot about Netflix and watched Abominable Bride on Stan. It seems to me, that everything is beconming so…[Read more]

@ichabod:   If liking the guitar, the sunglasses and the tank are a hallmark of a lack of standards then, like you and puro, I am similarly lacking

Count me in too. A  favourite  clip of mine is when he spots Clara (Magicians Apprentice) and plays the first bars of “Pretty Woman.” Pure magic.

Missy

Janette:I think that speaks for the public everywhere in the Western world. What they don’t see, they don’t worry about. Once upon a time, if you had a TV you had to pay for a licence, this enabled the BBC to bring us good (mostly) programmes without adverts. Do you still need a licence?

Missy

Welcome back @craig

@jimthefish:     It’s horses for courses, of course, but personally I prefer SM’s approach. RTD’s stuff was fun and exciting but lacks the depth, nuance and richness of the SM era.

Oh I do agree.  I wonder whether SM will write at least one episode in series 11, after all, he did in previous series.

@ichabod: All this strea…[Read more]

@wolfweed: Thank you , what a shame they had to cut the scene. As I keep harping on about, they cut the Dalek scene too, the funniest scene in the episode – well, one of them. I still haven’t seen the article where Steven Moffat explains why they cut it. Could someone steer me in the right direction please?

Missy

So sorry, I meant Rm not Tm? Put it down to these dark glasses i have to wear. *rolls eyes*

Missy

@myth96: I agree about the continuity, it’s astonishing how the writers are able to do this over so many years.
