    @Missy

    When you say

    ….. some of you do analyse too much, just sit back and enjoy!

    it sounds as if you think analysis somehow spoils or detracts from enjoyment, which I assure is not the case.   As @craig points out, this forum was set up precisely to provide space for people who want to analyse, theorise and speculate, and in fact it is d…[Read more]

  • Craig replied to the topic The Star Beast

    @missy your comment did make me laugh.

    The tagline for the site is “Theories even more insane than what’s actually happening” which is a Rory quote.

    This site is all about over-analysing. That’s why it exists.

    And sometimes, just sometimes, the analysis is correct and revealed to be in the final episode. Or even three series later.

    It’s part…[Read more]

  • Dentarthurdent replied to the topic Neverwhere

    @Missy     As so often, the TV/movie and the book of Good Omens are similar but different.   Sufficiently different to make viewing/reading both rewarding.   Same goes for Stardust (the movie and the book) and Moff’s The Day of the Doctor.    I’ve ordered the book of Neverwhere and I trust it will be the same.

    The DVD of Neverwhere includes a…[Read more]

    hey @Missy 🙂 how are you 🙂

    We watched it in school , I guess on IPlayer as I’m pretty sure it was there at some point, the Teacher just had the show ready to go but it wasn’t Netflix at the time , we watched a lot of films and T.V. shows,  some of the films were Blade Runner , Pan’s Labyrinth , City of God  w…[Read more]

    hey @Missy how are you 🙂 , whats your fav series/season of that show , I have very hollow memories of the show cause it was soo long ago for me and like I didn’t really wanna keep going after working on it soo hard for school exams but I would be alright re entering that world if you wanna discuss it just not…[Read more]

  • Dentarthurdent replied to the topic Doctor Who memories

    @missy I think you misread my post, I did see the first few eps of the original Doctor Who. And as much as I could catch intermittently for the next few years.

    I lost track sometime around the Pertwee years. I have since gone back and watched the last few McCoy stories and I do like him and Ace. If only they could have had the benefit of…[Read more]

  • Rewvian replied to the topic 42

    @missy You’re right, because the sun was like an entity on the ship trying to punish them for stealing from the sun.  I kind of remember now.

    @dentarthurdent A little off-topic, but I wonder if a day will come where we make ships that can come into contact with a sun.

  • Dentarthurdent replied to the topic 42

    @Missy I think your recollection is correct. (And I just scanned tardis.fandom.com to prompt my memory). When they vented the fuel back to the sun, it somehow released them and the auxiliary engines started up.

    But the whole episode was very – loose. The ship had been mining the sun for fuel – but how could they do that without coming…[Read more]

  • Dentarthurdent replied to the topic On The Sofa (10)

    @missy        Yes, nice one!     Best one I can recall was one of those cutesy animal cards with a cartoon of a jolly hippo wearing a pink bow on the front and  “Hi.   I’m all yours”    Inside it said  “You’ll have to pay to get me towed away”

    @bean-powered @missy @cedarbranchtardis @dentarthurdent @albert

    Can I just remind you and everyone else that this topic is just for comments about the website, if you spot any problems. And to alert me to spammers etc. It is not for Doctor Who chat.

    If you have random Doctor Who chat please post On The Sofa.

    Thanks.

  • Dentarthurdent replied to the topic On The Sofa (10)

    @Missy I agree it’s not good to over-analyze things. But my quibble with Sutcliffe owning a steel mill is merely the sort of nerdy geeky thing that (I think) denizens of this forum like to indulge in. It’s part of the fun, for me, and doesn’t detract from my enjoyment of the story. I hope my comments don’t detract from anyone else’s. And I reckon,…[Read more]

  • Devilishrobby replied to the topic Dr Who News (4)

    @missy Although I think Chris would have made a good choice as the Doctor I agree I don’t think he will be the prime choice as I think his time has possibly passed. Personally I think it will probably be an actor or actress who will be more of a left-field  choice as was Jodie. I suspect it may be a slightly older choice than the fan favourites ar…[Read more]

  • Devilishrobby replied to the topic Dr Who News (4)

    Well I did say he was an unlikely candidate but it was fun to give his pro’s and con’s.
    @missy  Chris Marshal would probably make a good Doctor. Chris was a leading candidate I think  either before Capaldi was announced or Jodies  announcement. Ironically it was because he had just announced his departure from Death in Paradise and everyone was ma…[Read more]

  • Dentarthurdent replied to the topic Dr Who News (4)

    @Missy     Oh yes, Hugh Laurie would make a great Doctor.   Shades of Capaldi, maybe, and also of early Doctors – but he could certainly carry it off.    Kris Marshall – yes, him too.   I only know him from Death in Paradise.  He’d be fine if he toned down the absent-mindedness a little (but that was really a function of the writing).…[Read more]

  • Dentarthurdent replied to the topic On The Sofa (10)

    @Missy       Fancy me forgetting that!    My only excuse is, so much happened in that scene.   But I’m slightly embarrassed at not remembering that moment.      And I described that scene as ‘one of the best in Doctor Who’, didn’t I?    (Way back 7 weeks ago, but the Internet never forgets   🙂      I still think so, by the way.

  • Dentarthurdent replied to the topic On The Sofa (10)

    Um,  @missy,  I’m sorry but I don’t recall that scene.   Can you enlighten me?

  • winston replied to the topic The Winchester

    @janetteb   We are good in the Winston house although we are both distressed over Ukraine and a smidge of real life. I have tried to distract myself with other things but it is impossible.

    Our government is dropping mask mandates on Monday and frankly I find that worrying. We have decided to continue on the way we have been going, like masks a…[Read more]

    Hi @blenkinsopthebrave. Glad to hear that all is well in the Blenkinsop household. Petrol prices have sky-rocketed here too. We are avoiding driving as much as possible, which, given that we are still waiting on our train to be restored to us and sky-rocketing covid numbers, means not going further than the nearest supermarket.

    I will keep an eye…[Read more]

  • Dentarthurdent replied to the topic On The Sofa (10)

    @missy That goodbye scene is probably one of the best ever in Doctor Who. (And the fact that Clara came back later doesn’t devalue it in any way, we didn’t know that at the time). Moffat (I’ll assume he had a hand in it) seems to be unusually good at goodbye scenes – making them incredibly emotional without obvious tear-jerking. I think the key is…[Read more]
