Not at all. I was visiting the BBC News to see what Boris was up to and saw it.

Car firms have been asked to make ventilators instead of cars to assist the NHS.

Earlier. I’d read that manufacturers of garden equipment were asked too. It took them a week to be up and running.

Good for them I say.

However, I’d rather they shut pubs…[Read more]

I watched the Day of the Doctor two weeks ago. Great fun, especially John Hurt.

A bit of a smile for all of us. Hope it works

So sorry to have taken so long to reply.

I am not taking any pills at the moment, but if this virus gets me, I shall be in a pickle.

Thanks for advice.

Further to my advice above, the latest precaution is that you should now AVOID anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen (Nurofen, Advil) if you suspect your illness may possibly be Coronavirus. Paracetamol (Acetaminophen, Tylenol or Panadol) is still fine.

Well that’s me in trouble if I succumb to this new enemy. I cannot take the Au…[Read more]

I agree with you. I wouldn’t want to be the Doctor either.

Then again being a companion isn’t good, the loss of him would be heartbreaking.

Like you, The 12th is more my style. *grins*

Hello there.

Frankly I’m in a minority on here, *grins* PC appears to be the least liked Doctor and I cannot understand why?

For me he was the most convincing, the most endearing, the most human of all the Doctors.

Mind you, Christopher came a close second in the ‘human’ stakes.

David Tennant I found witty and quite mad at times,…[Read more]

@beemartha

Hello there, at last one I can respond to.

1. Peter Capaldi

2. David Tennant

3. Christopher Eccleston.

@changari

It seems that you and I agree, as do many, many people who have asked me what I thought- not knowing that I don’t watch anymore. On of my friends called it a ‘parody’ and a very bad one at that.

Still, everyone is entitled to their opinion and all on this forum seem to like it.

Missy

I’ve had a quick glance through the posts for this year to see if I had mentioned the detective series RIVER?

The leads are played by Nicola Walker and Stellen Skarsgard.

Ingenious story backed up by superb acting.

I’m also enjoying the THOR series. Surprising really, as the only science fiction I enjoyed, was Doctor Who and Babylon Five. Our…[Read more]

@miapatrick

Very true. the only other actor who reduced me to tears of mirth, was Billy Connolly. Unfortunately he used the F word much too much in the end.

By the by, the scene about the magnet, should have read watch his head IMplode!

I do try to get things right. *grins*

@thane16 @cathannabel @janetteb

Thank you so much for your kind words. Life is so unfair is’t it?

My OH kayaked, didn’t smoke, didn’t drink.

I smoke and am sedentary, it should have been me.

He has reached the point where he cannot walk.

I shall pop in now and then to join in Un-Who chats *smiles*

@janetteb

As you know, I am not a fan of continual swearing, can’t see the point especially the f and c word.

However, The thick of It rates amongst the funniest series I have seen.  Peter Capaldi has this way of swearing that brings tears to my eyes.

One scene in particular about face rings etc, where Malcolm  grabs a boy whose face is c…[Read more]

@cathannabel

You have my sympathy, as does your brother.

My OH also has terminal cancer and looking at him yesterday in hospital I would give him weeks.

To add to it, he has sciatica and cannot walk.

So my dear, I am on auto pilot and do what I can, as I am sure do you.

All my best wishes to you.

Missy

@winston

Quite understandable. I feel the same about the WAR speech and Husbands of River Song. His lines are so wise and

delivered with such emotion.

What a  loss Steven Moffat is to the programme.

Tell you what.  All of you go along with the lack of a title and I’ll keep my Mrs/Miss/Mr.

To be called by my first name (which no one pronounces correctly ) by people I don’t know, to me

shows lack of respect.

When I receive phone calls from, Insurance, sales whatever and they ask is this ……..? I tell them no, it’s Mrs…..!

Up to you .

@thane16

If you think of the Doctor’s speech with Missy & the Master on kindness, that really sums up Barthes’s idea beautifully. Well no, I don’t understand that, but it sums it up. I’m very certain of this   And that particular speech, showing the range of Capaldi’s ability & tonal control, breaks my heart every time I hear it.

@winston @gamergirlavatar @blenkinsopthebrave

Something on which we agree.

Whenever I am sad (such as now with my OH, )or feeling off, I always watch  Doctor Who

David Tennant to start with, followed by Peter Capaldi.

DT makes me laugh, but PC makes me think, laugh and get teary – thanks to Steven Moffat’s script and Peters delivery.
