I still read, but mostly Medivel murder mysteries. However, I do listen to quite a few Talking Books and hve found a few beauties.

@missrori: Indeed he does. Lovely man, I’m really going to mis PC *reaches for the tissues – again*

Missy

@missrori: That’s all all of us can do.

There are rumours *sigh* that Kris Marshall may have the job. If so, I think he’d be good at it, as would Ben Miller.

Hey, ho, speculation gets us nowhere, but it’s all we’ve got until there’s an official announcement.

@ichabod:

I guess I have a bias . . . or just a sentimental tolerance for labors of love .

No shame in that,  and if there is, I’m a club member too.

Missy

@ichabod:

We have 5 grandchildren, and like you, we can only hope for the return of sanity. All people have to do is, sit down and talk

Missy

@davidzdep: The only one I can think of, besides William Hartnell, is Jon Pertwee.

Missy

@missrori:

You should write an episdoe – why not?  Another good read. As you say a thing is often not appreciated until it’s gone.

Missy

@winston:  You are only human. *grins* No female, because I don’t want it – simple. An example was The Kings Speech. I know this wasn’t a gender change but bear with me. Colin Firth looked nothing like George the 6th, which spoiled my enjoyment of the film. I fear the same reaction if we get a woman Doctor.

The proof – as they say – is in the p…[Read more]

Has anyone wondered what happened to River’s screwdriver and her diary?

Missy

@missrori: @ichabod:

What a read, from both of you!  I enjoyed every word and idea, and can add nothing to them. PC was MY Doctor and River’s and I shall miss him.

Missy

@ichabod:

You aren’t by any chance  an admirer of Terry Pratchett? If you are, may I compliment you on your excellent taste/

I’ve got all the Disc World books, one of which is signed. He is the only person I have met, who pronounced my name correctly without me telling him.

Mmm, it isn’t that I don’t like change, unless it’s just for change s…[Read more]

@winston:

Sounds just like my reaction. I dare say we’ll get used to the new Doctor, as long as (in MY opinion) He isnt’ a She! In that case why not a RobYn Hood, or a Shirley Holmes or even Spider Woman. One could even have Brenda Baggins? *rolls eyes*

Why can’t people simply leave things alone.

Missy

@ichabod; Seconded.

@thane15: Pass on my good wishes too please.

@mudlark: It was pretty tough on our generation at times too, and it seems that the young people I’ve spoken to all know what’s wrong and how to fix it!  Just like all generations.

Janette: Well said. *applause from the gallery*

Missy

@ichabod:   You will never be a loser ichi.

@mudlark:  Good for you,  but down on the arthritis. In my case, it’s more a 12 year old insisting to being heard. *winks*

Missy

@ichabod

He does have a very strong face and one mustn’t forget the eyebrows.  *smiles* For me, the scene which made me an instant admirer of PC was when he told Clara, Jenny and Vastra – “and don’t look at that mirror, it’s absolutely furious!”He may not have written the lines, but he knew how to deliver them.

He was equally convincing as the…[Read more]

Beat you by one year!

@thane15:

I like your post. A  while back I quoted Peter Capaldi, but dmaned if I can remember it correctly. something about

“watch Doctor Who because it nurtures your soul and your heart” He is so right, especially when HE is the Doctor. To me Doctor Who is a drug, one that keeps one sane, adictive but completely harmless.

So s…[Read more]

@ichabod:

Yes they are. I was taken aback by the Doctor in his Tardis. His eyes red rimmed, shirt undone and a look of almost madness from grief  on his face.  It really got to me, and made me wonder if any other actor could have done  that scene better than PC – don’t think so.

(This is the kind of thing that happens when I forget to have br…[Read more]

@ichabod: Sorry to wander on for so long, but damn, it’s a long time til mid-April . . .

Yes, it is, so you are allowed . As they say over here, “Go for your life.” One thing, our Doctor showed considerable ‘human’ emotion in the final scene of “Doctor Mysterio,”

Missy

Rolls eyes!
