Mmm, no response. Probably because I’m an idiot!

I watched Forest of the Dead again the other evening, and of course River is holding her diary as she says good night to her vertual children. *rolls eyes* However, what did happen to the screwdriver? Was it left with CAL? Or did he keep it so that it could be given to River by the PC Doctor? Did I miss something?

I still read, but mostly Medivel murder mysteries. However, I do listen to quite a few Talking Books and hve found a few beauties.

@missrori: Indeed he does. Lovely man, I’m really going to mis PC *reaches for the tissues – again*

Missy

[Missy @replies]

@missrori: That’s all all of us can do.

There are rumours *sigh* that Kris Marshall may have the job. If so, I think he’d be good at it, as would Ben Miller.

Hey, ho, speculation gets us nowhere, but it’s all we’ve got until there’s an official announcement.

No shame in that,  and if there is, I’m a club member too.

You should write an episdoe – why not?  Another good read. As you say a thing is often not appreciated until it’s gone.

@winston:  You are only human. *grins* No female, because I don’t want it – simple. An example was The Kings Speech. I know this wasn’t a gender change but bear with me. Colin Firth looked nothing like George the 6th, which spoiled my enjoyment of the film. I fear the same reaction if we get a woman Doctor.

The proof – as they say – is in the pudding.

Missy

Has anyone wondered what happened to River’s screwdriver and her diary?

Missy

[Missy @replies]

@missrori: @ichabod:

What a read, from both of you!  I enjoyed every word and idea, and can add nothing to them. PC was MY Doctor and River’s and I shall miss him.

@ichabod:

You aren’t by any chance  an admirer of Terry Pratchett? If you are, may I compliment you on your excellent taste/

I’ve got all the Disc World books, one of which is signed. He is the only person I have met, who pronounced my name correctly without me telling him.

Mmm, it isn’t that I don’t like change, unless it’s just for change sake, I simply prefer a male Doctor. I quite enjoyed the Tempest and I find it interesting when they moderise Shakespeare, as long as it is done well. My fingers are crossed that a Male actor gets the part.

@winston:

Sounds just like my reaction. I dare say we’ll get used to the new Doctor, as long as (in MY opinion) He isnt’ a She! In that case why not a RobYn Hood, or a Shirley Holmes or even Spider Woman. One could even have Brenda Baggins? *rolls eyes*

Why can’t people simply leave things alone.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

@ichabod; Seconded.

@thane15: Pass on my good wishes too please.

@mudlark: It was pretty tough on our generation at times too, and it seems that the young people I’ve spoken to all know what’s wrong and how to fix it!  Just like all generations.

@ichabod

He does have a very strong face and one mustn’t forget the eyebrows.  *smiles* For me, the scene which made me an instant admirer of PC was when he told Clara, Jenny and Vastra – “and don’t look at that mirror, it’s absolutely furious!”He may not have written the lines, but he knew how to deliver them.

He was equally convincing as the cardinal in The Musketeers. I told my husband that the new actor – or rather character – who took his place, lacked style, someting that PC has an abundance of. My opinion

@thane15:

I like your post. A  while back I quoted Peter Capaldi, but dmaned if I can remember it correctly. something about

“watch Doctor Who because it nurtures your soul and your heart” He is so right, especially when HE is the Doctor. To me Doctor Who is a drug, one that keeps one sane, adictive but completely harmless.

@ichabod:

So shall I, but like you my heart belongs to PC, especially because he isn’t perfect. However, I am, what some people call, an “old fart”. It makes it easier to appreciate the best when I see it. *grins*

Missy

[Missy @replies]

@ichabod:

Yes they are. I was taken aback by the Doctor in his Tardis. His eyes red rimmed, shirt undone and a look of almost madness from grief  on his face.  It really got to me, and made me wonder if any other actor could have done  that scene better than PC – don’t think so.

(This is the kind of thing that happens when I forget to have breakfast, so . . . ) *Big hug*

[Missy @replies]

@ichabod: Sorry to wander on for so long, but damn, it’s a long time til mid-April . . .

Yes, it is, so you are allowed . As they say over here, “Go for your life.” One thing, our Doctor showed considerable ‘human’ emotion in the final scene of “Doctor Mysterio,”

Rolls eyes!

@alexwho   I’d say that at least 90% of DW was written by SM – all the best ones. *grin*

@nerys: An excellent actor for sure.

@thane15; I jolly well hope not! I would watch out of curiosity, because one shouldn’t judge before the event.

However, The Doctor has always been, amongst other things, a Father figure, are we to now expect a Mother figure?

[Missy @replies]

@pedant. No good FB won’t let me in unless I open an account, and I shan’t be doing that. Thank you anyway.

@mudlar: Good point about JCS attributes. His brother-in-law? Now there’s a thought.

Janette:  It’s the same here.  My OH is sick and tired of hearing his name. I had to smile when I read your post, it’s quite on the cards. I have to say that there is a definite parallel between Trump and Julius. Who, I wonder, is his Brutus?

I’ve watched and watched it. I found it very funny and poignant. As I’ve said befoe, it was meant for children Much preferred it to Last Christmas. although I didn’t dislike that.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

Janette: Yes he would do, but I’ve had a fancy for Ben Miller or Kris Marshall.

@missrori: Very true. The programme required a gruelling schedule, not to mention interviews, plus promoting the show. He is pushing 60, but that doesn’t stop me wanting him to satay for just one more series. I hope he does the Christmas Special at least.

Of course there was also Julius Caesar, and we all know what happend to him.

Ben Whishaw in in the running – good choice.

Or perhaps River will come back? Wishful thinking on my part.

Oh well, as long as the next Doctor is British and not a female, I’ll give it a chance.

Well, it seems that Peter is leaving at the end of series 10. He says it’s time to move on! More likely he didn’t get a rise in pay. #$#@*&()#@$% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@mudlark:

It’s astonishng how many quotes there are from DW that can be used in real life.

Some are funny, (Clara you look lovely today, have you had a wash?) Some more serious, like the speach from the Zygon Inversion – sit down and talk! There is so much wisdom in DW.

We were not disappointed last night. LION was a wonderful film. Dev Patel and Sunny Pawar were supurb.

Why it didn’t get an Oscar is beyond me, but then I haven’t seen, neither do I like musicals.

Donald Trump set to ‘eliminate arts funding programs’, cutting off NPR and PBS.

He is notoriously not fond of broadcast media

I’ve just finished listening to  “TRACKS” by  Matthew Broughton, on BBC 4 Extra. They should make a film of it.

Quite terrifying.

We watched a programme called Hitler’s Secrets last night. The resemblance to the rise of Trump, was rather disturbing.

@winston: Good to hear that PC marched too. If only he could have ‘seen DT off” as the Doctor would. *sigh*

[Missy @replies]

@ichabod: First time I’ve visited this thread.

I enjoyed Doctor Strange, mostly because I felt the whole thing was done with tongue in cheek and because I’m an admirer fo BC.

The thing about him, is that  he likes to try lots of different genres. We have Hamlet, Richard III, Doctor Strange, Sherlock, Startrek, Third Star, Hawking and The imitation Game to name a few. If you can get a truck load of money for making Marvel films, it means being able to pick and choose what you want to do next.  As you say, good luck to him.

We are off to see LION on Wednesday, looks very good.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

It didn’t. As I’ve said before, I often have trouble with links. It’s about PC having played SH with Alexai Sayle as Watson in a comedy sketch. Very funny.

@pedant Perhaps you can supply the goods?
