@missrori:  You have us m’dear. Talk away.

Missy

Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this, but I felt the need. I just watched part of the speech from the Zygon Inversion read by PC – the bits we didn’t hear. Not being good at links, here is what you look for on YT

The Zygon Inversion Speech – Read by Peter Capaldi Live in New Zealand

Missy

@winston: That’s what I do. If I want a laugh, I watch The Caretaker or Robots of Sherwood, and any of the DT/MS or CE epidsodes which apply.  If I want bitter sweet, it’s Husbands/The Raven/Heaven Sent/Hell bent, and now with both in Doctor Mysterio.

@ichabod: Well, I hope to goodness nothing else hits! As for Golden years, I’m with you. do you…[Read more]

@janetteb: Oh, that person! He’s still an Australian, you are where you were born – in my opinion.

Delighted to see that you too feel that PC deserves a pay rise. It’s such a punishing schedule.

I am so cross about not being able to comment on The Six Thatchers, which I watched the other evening – the Jeremy Brett version – all I know, or am…[Read more]

@soundworld:  My best wishes for your health problems. I don’t know why it is, but The Doctor always makes me feel better, I leave him with a smile.

@ichabod: I hope you are bearing up. I have meant to ask you before. Also, I don’t care for any kind of JAZZ either, or Rap for that matter.

Missy

Sorry everyone, I got over excited. My comment about the BBC cutting back -hence Sherlock, is of course wrong. It was/is, the ABC not showing Sherlock. *blushes*

Missy

According to reports, the BBC has asked Peter Capaldi to stay for another series – 11. He is negotiating for a pay rise.

David Tennant earned 500, pounds a year playing the Doctor, PC only earns 400, a year. Unfortunately this has come when the BBC had decided on cut backs in pay and programmes. (hence Sherlock I should think)

PC will stay if…[Read more]

Interesting posts, I’ve enjoyed reading them.

I mentioned a while ago, that this Doctor is more Human than the others, which I think is his appeal. Granted he doesn’t write the words, but he executes them beautifully.

As for the ‘moron’ he’s a joke, but a dangerous one.

Missy

Too saw the Streep speech and the clip of Trump mocking the journalist – what a moron. Over rated my eye! She was damned good as Maggie Thatcher, unlike Colin Firth as George the 6th.- I mean his looks, not his acting.

As for the Doctor, he lost Clara twice and River, it’s no wonder he is so sad. The shot of him in the Tardis, shirt undone, eyes…[Read more]

@janetteb:

Welcome back. London, as you say ancient and modern – like the Tardis? C.A. Magnussen described it – well England – as a petri dish.

I loved it, the hustle, bustle and history, mixed with the nasty bits that you get in any big city.

Missy

@thane15:

We can’t always enjoy the same things, and I for one won’t be throwing anything at you. *winks*I do agree about the American tone though.  However, there were a few classic moments and PC, as ever, was superb.

Missy

@thane15;

Bypassing all the above posts (I really must not look) I think you are right. Last year (I think) there was talk of the ABC not buying some of their ususal programmes. who would have thought that they included Sherlock? Grrrr!

Missy

Well, them we all appear to have enjoyed it. I particularly agre with the comment about Moffat magic! He is astonishing.

I wonder who will use Mr. Huffle?  Bill or Nardole?

Missy

I should love to join in, but as it wasn’t shown on Free Tv – as the last three series were – I haven’t seen this yet.

Yes, I could have used ‘STAN”, but balked at that, so I’ve ordered it from Amazon and should get it between the 2-7th of February.

There is always the chance, of course, that the ABC will show the above sometime, but not soon…[Read more]

@pedant: Thank you. I should have known that. *rolls eyes*

@thane15:

He responds with:  “I was going to say ‘get it yourself’ but you’re too slow and I don’t think you’ll get out of that chair.”

Totally dead pan. I thought “man, serious sexism” and then my Uncle (who is your Cockney rhyming slang key seller from back of van type) whispered to…[Read more]

@ichabod: One little scene really stands out for me, though, and that’s the one with adolescent Grant sitting on a bench in the school hallway refusing to look the other kids as they pass because he can’t control his X-ray vision.  The Doctor spots young Lucy as the person Grant likes the most, and Grant says, “How do you know?”  And he has risen,…[Read more]

@miapatrick: Thank goodness it wasn’t only mer. I breathed a sigh of relief when I read your post. I’d been trying for two days to get on to the forum.

@craig: No apologies necessary, I’m just relieved that everything is back in place.

@pedant: My gawd! That takes me back!

@kharis: Believe me I wouldn’t wait at all, but if it isn’t on the TV, I haven’t got a choice. 🙁

Missy

@kharis:

I too am passionate about the above, but in a different order. PC is indeed brilliant.

Missy

I’d be happy if they had aired Sherlock  4 on free TV as they have the other three series. Why it had to be streamed heaven only knows. I’m very cross! It’s on order from Amazon UK and I get the set early February. I can wait.
