@missrori: Still sounds great. What was Billie Piper like? She was my favourite companion.

Have any of you seen this, hope the link works.

Patience was never my strong point, but are any of you finding it hard to wait for the Christmas Special? Or is it just me?

Missy

[Missy @replies]

@pedant: Thank you so much for letting me/us know. Puro and I never seemd to hit the right note, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t think of her and son.

@ichabod: Of course we do.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

@nerys. My eye is still sore, but the soreness goes away after a while, I still wear dark glasses everywhere – even indoors- or both eyes become very tired.

@missrori: Thank you for that. What fun, although I’m surprised that PC and neither of the writers were there too?Forgive me if I seem to shorten sentences, but it’s a strain looking through dark glasses at the text.

I didn’t care for Paul McGann as the Doctor, not his fault I’m sure, just a matter of taste. Missy is wonderful. I’ve seen her in other interviews – panels – and she is very funny.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

I have hesitated to ask, but it isn’t idle curiosity. If I didn’t care, I wouldn’t ask.

Does anyone know how the puro family is fairing?

Missy

[Missy @replies]

@mudlark;

Thank you muchly. The deed is done, and although things are still slightly ‘off’ colours are astonshing!

I have to wear dark glasses for at least a week, a patch in bed at night (?) and three lots of drops four times a day .

Print is still blurred and I mustn’t bend over or do anything strenuous.

I watched DW last night (how unusual) and Clara’a lipstick and all the other colours were too vivid – but clearer.

Other eye has its turn in February.

@nerys:

Thank you too.  The same thing happened to me”Now you don’t see them, now you do!”

The strange thing is that i didn’t need glasses if I was reading outside or in a good light.

@mudlark:

Well, blow me down! I too am booked for cataract surgery – if the hospital ever rings to infom me what time I should make an appearance – tomorrow! Both eyes need attention, so the other eye will be attended to on the 1st. February.

Small world – innit.

As to Jammie Dodgers, I like them but wouldn’t crawl across broken glass to get to them. I’m giving them to a friend who is also a Whovian – well, her son is the real fan – for Christmas. Ginger Nuts I can live without, but chocolate digestives we agree upon. *grin*

I once heard an American describe “biscuits” American style, as a mixture of self raising flour, fried, put on the plate with gravy poured over them? Sounds boring to me. If they don’t snap, they aren’t biscuits.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

What joy! We have just found a sweet shop that stocks Jammy Dodgers!

It also stocks many English/British sweets, that my OH and I had forgotten about.

Pontefract Cakes for one.

Though I’d share this with you. *smile*

@ichabod

On can only hope! Fingers crossed.

[Missy @replies]

No! Not getting it. Really not my area.

Thank you anyway pedant.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

Just pray that Peter Capaldi is the Doctor, for at least one more series.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

@ichabod:

The guy can *act*. 

Indeed he can. I find that unlike the other three doctors – as much as I liked them – PC is able to get under my skin and really make me think. Yes, I know, it’s Steven Moffat’s words, sometimes Mark Gatiss too, but the words have to be delivered with just the right tone of voice, facial expression and comviction. for me, PC does exactly that.

@mudlark:

As much as I am fascinated by/with Physics, I cannot abide Mathematics.  Bit of a problem isn’t it.

I tried reading the aricle (thank you for that mudlark) but it was/is all beyond me. I shall try again one morning when I am more awake.

@ichabod;

Spotonski!

I missed out Laurence Fox  – Lewis – and Shaun Evans – Endevour.

Oh, those high cheekbones.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

@janetteb:   I think we have had enough depressing news of late. Certainly don’t need to hear that P.C. is thinking of stepping out of the Tardis. I am hoping that he will do at least one series with Chibnall if not two or ten..

Vote me in on that one. However, should such a disaster occur, I shall watch the new Doctor and see what I think. I am a whovian after all.

I think there should be a vote to keep Peter Capaldi for at least one more series after 10 – if he can stand the pace, obviously. Fingers crossed.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

Everyone.

I recently watched a comic.com from the USA.  On the panel were Matt Smith, Jenna Coleman and Alex Kingston.

They all had plenty to say and I enjoyed listening to them, but I thought that Alex (River) explained the series popularity in very simple terms.

She made it very plain that she is a huge admirer of Steven Moffat, whom she considers a genius, saying that the secret of The who’s success, is that SM writes about ‘love.”

Spotonski!

@mudlark:

That was how I saw it too. He couldn’t kill a child, but at least he could instill  ‘mercy’ into the boy.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

@ichabod;

At last! I couldn’t get on to the forum – again! Hence my absence.

Quite understandable, but it isn’t that I ‘fancy’  ( as the doctor would say) BC or the others, just am drawn to their build and shape of their face.

Though I’d clear that up. *grins*

Missy.

 

[Missy @replies]

@winston:  You have  said it all. We all love him, especially this Doctor.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

@ichabod: I haven’t seen this film, so cannot judge. No, I haven’t seen Timothy Dalton in Penny Dreadful. the last thing I him in was Doctor who and he still looked good.

Was there a discussion about Doctor Strange? Blimey, I missed it. Most of the reviews I read – most, not all – thought he was well cast as the Doctor , as do I. he certainly looks good with that goatee and can, in my opinion, play just about anyone he has that sort of face. Marvel comics are not my ‘thing’ but I made an exception this time and enjoyed it.

However, I must admit to being biassed. I’m a firm  admirer of Benedict. Alan Turing, Van Gogh, Sherlock. Hamlet, Richard lll, Parades End, ecetera, etcetera. Still, you can’t please everyone. *grins*

Missy

 

 

[Missy @replies]

Interesting comments from all of you.

Unfortunately I have never been able to ‘analyse’ anything, it’s all gut feeling. So, for me, Hell Bent is the best script from Steven Moffat yet, apart from The Zygon Inversion and that superb speech, written by Moffat and acted brilliantly by Peter Capaldi. Talk about ‘gut wrenching.’

Some may disagree with me and that’s fine, that’s what this forum is about.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

@ichabod

The Limey” (another blanked name) who was boringly beautiful but has become very striking with age, and of course Peter Capaldi.  Definitely Peter Capaldi . . .

Oh, most definitely. Loved the reference to  the tattoo of his name on a womans’ back- a very beautiful woman – his wife.

I did have a “thing” for Timothy Dalton” once – wrong shaped face, but slender frame.

My list are of actors with that shaped face and slim build, was an example of what attracts me to them, as long as they can act too. I much prefer forty onwards, when age has begun marking out the years.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

I meant to add, that the scene where the Doctor say, “Time never forgets” then notices the board on the wall with Oswald C – was a Steven Moffat moment.

A member suggested that I might be surprised if I kept watching . Nothing is impossible, but definitely unlikely.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

@ichabod; Oh my goodness yes! Now who has the last laugh.

I was on a site a couple of weeks ago (when some cyber thingy wouldn’t give me access to this forum) and the insults levelled at SM were painful. I’d obviously stumbled on a “We hate Steven Moffat” site. the comments made me  very cross indeed. You don’t have to like his style of writing, but he doesn’t deserve to be vilified like that.

Crow all you like Steven, your time has come. *grins*

Missy

[Missy @replies]

@ichabod;

I’ve thought that about Steven too. You only haver to see how he sits on a chair, with a sort of swagger. *grins*

He is quite sure of his own genius and doesn’t mind showing it but I don’t care, the man is brilliant.

Finally saw the video, thank you so much ichi, loved it.

@denvaldron: Although i shall keep out of the ongoing discussion, I did use to watch Blakes’ Seven and enjoyed it.

When I tried watching it again a couple of months ago, I found it badly dated. Did anyone else find that?

@whisht: They used to sell Jammy Dodgers here, but for some reason they are off the shelves.

Missy

 

[Missy @replies]

@ichabod: I had to smile. Interest raised it’s head when swinging from a tree. the Doctor informed the coachman that he was speaking to the horse!  What did for me, was the beginning of the second episode, when HE greeted Clara with coffee, saying that he’d been distracted – for two weeks?

I have always preferred men with high cheekbones and a build thin to slender.  Never cared for muscles   and there are quite a few at the moment. Benedict Cumberbatch, Eddie Redmayne, Lee Ingleby, Ben whishaw, David Tennent. Colin Morgan, Peter Capaldi, love that shape face. It’s interesting that the really good looking actors seem to coarsen with age, ( remember Tony Curtis?) and yet  the lanky horsey ones become more atttraactive. I find PC very attractive now – very. *grins*

Missy

[Missy @replies]

@ichabod:

Thank you that. Matt does scrub up well doesn’t he. I shall keep my eyes open for this.

@mudlark

Snap! I feel the same about films of the Royal family – with exceptions – but I do fancy Victoria.

It’s a shame, CT could be coarse, but then so was PC in The Loop.

She was my husbands favourite companion.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

This will be short and sweet.

I watched the first episode and the only shining light was when PC came on the scene. The second episode was even worse. Too much gore and violence and the acting lack lustre. Not for me.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

When I was asked a while back, who my favourite Doctor was, I didn’t have one. Christopher, David, Matt – I liked all three for different reasons. than along came Peter Capaldi and everything changed. to me He IS the Doctor.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

I didn’t actually dislike her, she just didn’t ring true to me. that doesn’t mean that she couldn’t act.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

@severusoswald; Very, very sad episode Face the Raven. Peter Capaldi plays it to perfection a does Jenna.

Makes my eyes water every time. *grins*

@severusoswald;

River versus Missy?  I know who I’d put my money on.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

@severusoswald; My favouite companions are/were;

Rose, Clara and Donna, in that order, Amy and Rory had their moments, but Martha? She was all right I suppose, I didn’t not like her. Of course River.

Missy

@severusoswald;

Wondeful show isn’t it. I saw the first episode – yes, I’m ancient but young at heart

You are in very good company here.

Thank you so much for the video. there is so much to read n this thread that i shall come back later AND watch the video.

@countscarlioni:

Thank you, looks interesting and funny.

@puroandson: Finally I got in.

My comments are based on personal experience and witnessed events, both here and in the UK.

Your accusation of my being a **** stirrer are completely without foundation, especially when you do not know the

true facts – you were not there.

However, like the Doctor, and as you asked – I forgive you.

Now that’s out of the way, off to more enjoyable topics.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

To all.

I’m sick of some people complaining that they are picked on because they are black, Irish, English etcetera. It would never occur to these people, that they could be at fault. Hence my comment about racism.

I have my opinions, you have yours. I shall stick to what this forum is about in future Doctor Who.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

@craig: Yes, many thanks and hello again.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

@pedant: Stone me! I wish  I hadn’t asked! *rolls eyes*

I’ll leave this discussion to the experts methinks.

[Missy @replies]

Welcome back Craig. *waves*

@ichabod: Thanks ichi, love the videos too.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

@ichabod: We watched “In the Loop” a few weeks ago (on TV) and I got the giggles.  Athough strong language is not amongst my favourite things – it isn’t really necessary is it – in certain circumstances, used by the right actor, it can be hilarious. Peter Capaldi is a natural in my opinion.

Missy

 

[Missy @replies]

@ichabod: As usual the trailer showed all the good bits, but we liked it well enough.

Why, oh why, do some people carry on about racism? I think it’s because they’ve nothing else to do.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

@ichabod:

Well, we saw MPHFPC and enjoyed it, but I won’t buy it.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

@ichabod Thanks for that. Enjoyable and interesting read.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

@puroandson; Sorry, I put this on the wrong thread, should hsve been in films/cinema.

We are seeing it on Wednesday.

Missy

[Missy @replies]

@ichabod: I can’t imagine all that loss at the back of my mind, waiting to punce.

As you say, the perfect place to put the Doctor, if you wanted to torture him, was his Confession Dial. Not very nice these Time Lords – well the President wasn’t.

Reminds me (thread nap) of Mycroft’s words, in the “Bride.” The worst place you could put Sherlock, was in a cell.
