What a daft word “woke” is, I had to look it up. Whatever happened to the ENGLISH language?

Sorry, the above just made me cross.

Roll on next week.

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, except for two things. The music, although superb, was/is much too loud and at times drowned out the dialogue. Secondly, not keen on the new Tardis interior, much too clinical and hospital like for me. I much preferred the Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi…[Read more]

I haven’t seen the series of Neverwhere, but, as I said, the CD is wonderful. Good Omens?  I have the DVD and the book.

Both enjoyable.

Missy

Hello yourself. I don’t know which show you mean? If you haven’t got Netflix, then you wouldn’t have seen Lucifer.

Missy

Hello there, yes I have watched Sweet Tooth, not bad. Other police series is of course Line of Duty. Happy Valley I couldn’t get into, unusual for me. The Good Doctor is very clever, especially Freddie Highmore. I  remember him in Finding never Land, which was wonderful Johnny Depp at his best.

However, my favourite TV series (apart…[Read more]

If so, what do you think of it?

Missy

Have seen MAYFLIES. Very sad.  Tony Curran actually looks like Van Gogh, have you seen some of his self portraits?

@janetteb

I have heard of Evil’s Hour, but no sign of it as yet. Anyone watched Stranger things on Netflix? Very well done and funny, especially Dunstan and Hopper.  The Never Ending story  theme sung by Dunstan (D…[Read more]

He writes for adults – the Disc World series – and is very, very funny, as well as brilliant.

Ever watched MERLIN?

I hadn’t heard of Rick Riordan, but I have all the HP books and all the films 🙂
>Have you heard of Terry Pratchett?

Missy

I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person, but I was born white, into a two-parent household which now, whether I like it or not, makes me privileged, a racist, responsible for slavery and genocide of Aboriginals, etc.

I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today’s…[Read more]

Missy

Unlike @dentarthurdent, I saw the very first episode of Doctor Who. Unfortunately it went to air the same day that JFK was assassinated, however they showed it again on the Saturday and I watched that too! 🙂 Love at first sight.

I liked all the Doctors except for the last…[Read more]

They released the fuel, back to the sun because they had stolen it. Only then would the sun release them from its grip.

The fuel was cargo, they had their own fuel. Think that’s correct? 🙂

Missy

Loved Merlin. I have the box set.

Missy

“what can you give someone who has everything?”

Answer:

“Antibiotics!”

A male Doctor! Now I can begin watching Doctor who again after it’s long absence.

It will be interesting to see how this new actor turns out.  Time will tell…no pun intended.

For the moment, I’m content. *grins*

Missy

If you watch The Pilot, Bill needs the toilet and Nadole suggests that she  waits a bit.

Missy

You see, that’s the trouble with analysis, it tends to spoil the fun of a story.

Don’t dwell on the logic of the thing, simply enjoy it.

As son as we met Bill, preferred her to Clara. She had become much too cocky and was beginning to annoy me.

As for the next series, when oh when will we be rid of JW, she seems to be dragging…[Read more]

It would be too much to hope for – for me at least – for Kris to get the role. I remember DT’s Doctor wishing he’d been ‘ginger.’

@dentarthurdent

His absent mindedness would also be perfect for the role. However, that’s just my opinion.

Michael Sheen would be pretty good choice too.

Missy

Hugh Laurie would be more to the point.

However, everyone knows  my choice, but here it is again. Kris Marshall – and he’s ginger.

Missy

Sorry for delay. *blushes*

The fact that the ‘hand kissing’ scene was PC’s idea, is what also touched me.

Missy

I’ve been reading the posts, delighted to find how many of you appreciated Peter Capaldi and Steven Moffat.

I wish they would get on and name the 2022 Doctor.

Stay safe

Missy

Face the Raven, one of my favourites (I know, a favourite is usually one item *grins)

Beautifully written and acted. the actress who plays “Me” gives me the pip, I can’t explain why.

The goodbye scene between the Doctor and Clara I find heartbreaking, every time I watch it, and when the Doctor

kisses her hand, tears come…[Read more]

My favourite character’s are: Rinswind, the Luggage, Death, Vetinari and ‘foul old Ron!’ Oh, and Vimes.

Missy

MISSY XX

Link worked beautifully.

Interesting interview – as is usually the case when Mr. M takes the stage. *grins*

I must say that the facial hair suits him.

Now to watch Mark Gatiss – lovely man. His “Goodbye darling.” when Una Stubbs died, brought tears to my eyes.

Missy

I figure if I can hold out for another couple of years, there might actually be something worth watching again called “Doctor Who”.  But I hear that about half the fans seem to be happy with this current stuff, so . . . who knows?  Maybe I’m just too old for this now, never mind for it a couple of years on.

If only! You are not too o…[Read more]

Missy

This took a lot of thought and re-watching.

For me the most consistently funny episode of all was/is Robots of Sherwood.

The interaction between Robin and the Doctor all the time.

The taking of samples from the Merry men. Poor old Alan a Dale being given six months to live. Arrows bouncing

off the robots. Fencing with a spoon. So…[Read more]

Only by a year – my dear. *grins*  No, I am single minded  ( or bloody minded) about this, the next Doctor must be a male.

Always has been and should stay that way. To hell with regeneration excuses.

@dentarthurdent

From the odd glimpse I’ve had of the Tardis, I couldn’t agree more.  MS and PC had the best Tardis.

Missy

What a dreadful shock, I am  very sad for you my dear.

When someone close to you dies, it leaves an empty space.

You will fill it though, it just takes time.

Missy

Very definitely more likeable dead. As you say, the Doctor was rude to everyone – which if anyone noticed – none of the others were. This was one of his failings which made him my favourite.

Missy

Good question. However, the next Doctor – apart from being a MALE *winks* – should be British.

I have always fancied Kris Marshall. He can be an absolute nutter, but when he becomes serious, one knows about sharpish.

Whoever they choose, he will have to be very agile.

Missy

Hello stranger. Your word ‘wreckage’ is far better than mine.

Gods, I miss #12 . . . Wit; sorrow; rage; clever quips; and joy.  I refuse to give up without seeing what the promised fresh start will bring, a couple of years (argh!) from now.  Meanwhile, I’m off doing streaming — lotsa good stuff.

Oh how I agree with you.  By the way, H…[Read more]

Hello and welcome. I don’t post much nowadays, because I refuse to watch a travesty of such a past wonderful series.

Everyone knows my views, so I shan’t bore them by repetition. *grins*

Peter Capaldi is MY Doctor too. He is supposed to be the most ‘alien’ of all the Doctors, and yet I found him to be

the most ‘human.’ Mostly thanks…[Read more]

He hadn’t a clue about emotions, only his own.

Remember:

D. Do you love him?

C.  No.

D. Really had enough of the lies.

C.  Not in that way.

D. What other way is there?

Obviously he’d never loved his parents, or friends.

Missy.

So sorry for delay, I agree with you.

Missy

I don’t believe it!

A friend and I were talking about people who actually do read the back page of a novel first?

You obviously don’t like surprises. *grins*

Why bother to read the book at all, or watch any series? *scratches head*

Glad everyone is well.

Missy

What do I mean? Have you watched Elementary?  Sherlock Holmes it ain’t! More what I’d call a ‘spoof.’

If you enjoy it, fine there is always room for spoof TV.

@winston

They all regenerated in front of our eyes. If she is your Doctor, that’s fine. I am not that easily pleased unfortunately.

Missy

Damn! There’s me thinking I was being subtle. *winks*

Missy

I’m alone here I know.  But I am not surprised about the lack lustre response for the next series.

Perhaps when the REAL Doctor returns, things will be different.

Still my opinion. *grins*

Missy

I never know what to say at a time like this.

My husband (who didn’t share my love of the Doctor, but watched them anyway) died after five months of diagnosis.

That was bad enough, but suddenly, for no reason? I really feel for you my dear.

Sorry I cannot think of any quote that would be appropriate except possibly:

“Everything…[Read more]

Thank goodness for that! The only news which (for me) could top this, is the return of Steven Moffat!

As for Olly Alexander being the next Doctor (maybe) I don’t care. As long as it is a Male, British and he can act,

I am content.

As for JW, if she had been a good enough actress, she could have made up for the bad writing.

The BBC have got…[Read more]

Oh yes, he waits to get to his bits! I also love the scene when he realizes that he is ‘Scottish’ and can blame the English for everything.

Apart from arthritis I’m surviving. The is Covid is really reducing the ‘surplus population,’ how is it where you are?

Missy

Allo, allo was one of my favourite shows. Most of the time it brought tears to my eyes. Remember when Edith used to sing, everyone put cheese in their ears?

@thane16

The Australians are good at drama, not so good at comedy, it always seems to be such an effort.

Americans, depending on your sense of humour, can be good at…[Read more]

Mr. C. became MY Doctor when he said:   ” And don’t look in that mirror. It’s absolutely furious.”

Missy

I have only just seen your post, it didn’t deposit itself into my mail box. *grins*

It has been a joy reading all the positive posts about Steven Moffat and Peter Capaldi. I didn’t make comment […]

Whoopee! The best news I’ve had for a long time.

Missy
