    @kbranagh “I can’t wait for Hell Bent! Sound legendary.”

    Make sure you have the tissues handy, Clara’s facial expression in the cafe is another killer. You will know what I mean when you get to it.

    @arbutus Re “acting”, I’m reminded of Peter O’Toole’s wonderful line “I’m not an actor, I’m a movie star!”

    Now there I disagree. Peter O’Toole, was an exceptional actor – not a film star. Memories of Lawrance of Arabia and The Lion in Winter are prime examples of his talent.

    I agree about changing oneself to fit a role – or rather not doing so. However, acting ability alone can’t always cut it.

    A prime example was The Kings Speech. Although it was a good story/script, Colin Firth as George V1 ruined the film for me. Good actor he may be, but he looked nothing like the King.
    This was a shame it could…[Read more]

    Oh very true. River was convinced that he would still have the MS face, not realising that “A thing” had happened.

    Very high! I remember MG saying once, that he wanted his music to make people cry – or words to that affect/effect (never get that word right) – and it does.

    One can only hope that MG continues to write for DW – or am I being selfish?

    Amy and Rory died, thanks to the Weeping Angels, with Matt Smith as Doctor.
    Every time I watch Face the Raven I cry, mostly because of the Doctor’s reaction. Peter capaldi kissing Clara’s hand is a real killer. Why is it, that such a simple act can break one’s heart?
    In Hell Bent, it’s more Clara’s reaction, when DW says that if he met…[Read more]

    @ichabod

    Well said. I’ve watched this more than any other episode in the series – only just beating ‘Husbands’.

    A Buddhist Doctor – now, there’s a thought.

    I still live in hopes that there will be an episode with Missy and River sparring.

    How sensational that would that be and a fitting ‘farewell’ from Steven Moffat. *sigh*

    Cheers

    Yes, that’s right. Everything resets when he dies and off he goes again.
    A marvellous episode, one of Steven’s best in my opinion.

    Heaven Sent is such a favourite of mine, that I’ve watched it more than any other – except Husbands of River Song.
    However, Face the Raven is Superb, we might see more of Sarah Dollard. Bello bent is wondrful, and like the former two, very, very sad.
    It’s more the Doctor’s reaction than Clara’s. For possibly the second time in his life,…[Read more]

    @puroandson Lansbury moved to the US in the 1940s where she studied and made some great films: it would be expected for her to put on a “posh” accent as you suggest, I believe.

    That’s just it, she had a strong American accent whenever she was in the UK. Now I can see why.
    However, she was never one of my favourites.

    For all admirers (like moi) of this programme, filming began on the 4th.
    No rumour, Mark Gatiss said so, I heard him.

    That’s because you have such excellent tast. As do we all. *big grin*

    @joamdalf

    Hello Joam, I will be interested in hearing all the replies to your request.
    As for me, you simply know it’s the Doctor, ( which is no help at all) although River didn’t. *grin*

    Had a look pedant, definitely different.
    I kept thinking that it would have been even better, if Peter Capaldi had been playing.

    I shall try this.

    Thank you both.

    Interesting, thank you.

    I also had to smile at the 10 things Americans like about we British. In particular the way we take the micky out of ourselves.
