    Re: Second Doctor – Oh yes, the Second Doctor can be manipulative as I have mentioned before (though not as much as the Seventh is),  but he really does have a sweet demeanour. He’s a very caring Doctor (and before you point out all Doctor’s are caring, yes I know, I know! But with the Second Doctor you really get a…[Read more]

    @PhaseShift – I at least want three seasons with Capaldi, I’m so happy we have an older Doctor again!

  • Monochrome Dimension replied to the topic On The Sofa (4)

    @PhaseShift – Gotta love that gif! And no, ‘Space Museum’ isn’t the first choice for the First Doctor’s serials, but its one that is very unusual and quite interesting. But I think the choice of ‘The Time Meddler’ is best for now.

  • @mantabu – Welcome to the forums, and also to Doctor Who! I really liked your cover, that was very cool! You’re very talented. I too adore the theme tune, and enjoy remixes/covers of it as well.

    Anyhow, glad to know you’re enjoying the series, and you’ve started from the beginning! The First Doctor is one of my favourites.

  • Monochrome Dimension replied to the topic On The Sofa (4)

    @PhaseShift – Oh, ‘The Space Museum’! Lots of people dislike it… I however think its great. Especially the first and second episodes. Its actually got a very creepy beginning and interesting ideas, it just seems to veer away from them after the first episode which is a shame. But like you said, it is the first time the Doctor intervened in time…[Read more]

  • Monochrome Dimension replied to the topic On The Sofa (4)

    @FaeGrl – I think you’ll also like the Second Doctor a lot, he’s very sweet (in my opinion). And I agree with tomsscarf, you  should check out ‘The Mind Robber’ for the Second… also would put a mention in for ‘Enemy of the World’; but its a serial that has no monsters/aliens in it, and some people get put off by that.

    @tomsscarf – I would…[Read more]

  • @FatManInABox – Awww, poor Dalek… I do recall feeling sorry for the Dalek in ‘Dalek’! Thanks for posting that, I couldn’t remember the music in that episode.

  • Monochrome Dimension replied to the topic On The Sofa (4)

    @FaeGrl – Oh yes I’ve heard a bit about the political issues at the moment. 🙁

    And yep, the Seventh Doctor is 5’6”, the Second is 5’7”. So yes, they both are the shortest Doctors. And if anyone wanted to know, I’m 5’3” 1/2. lol!

    The bickering between the Second and Third Doctors can be rather amusing, they just don’t seem to get along! Was…[Read more]

    @tomsscarf – Ah okay. lol No I don’t use it to refer to other folks, except maybe my sister, but we both acknowledge our ‘nerdiness’ and its in a joking manner. But, thank you.

    @everyone – Okay folks, I have a question for whoever… if Capaldi’s Doctor faces the Daleks in season 8 (and I wouldn’t be surprised at how much they’re over-using them…[Read more]

  • Monochrome Dimension replied to the topic On The Sofa (4)

    @FaeGrl – Ah its the scenery I like in Arizona, I adore mesas and the like… but there are other states that have those I guess! lol

    Ah well that’s a good sign you like his serials already! There’s some brilliant stories in his next two seasons… and of course the manipulative aspect of his personality is explored more.

    And yes I was surprised…[Read more]

  • @FaeGrl – I wonder what the translation of the lyrics is? They do seem to use very dramatic music for the Daleks nowadays, I’d prefer something more subtle but menacing. Guess that’s why ‘Asylum of the Daleks’ had a good amount of atmosphere… still though, my favourite New Who Dalek episode is ‘Dalek’. But because I haven’t watched it in ages I…[Read more]

  • Monochrome Dimension replied to the topic On The Sofa (4)

    @tomsscarf – Oh yes if somebody is being mean about it, but I was using the phrase ‘nerd’ about myself… as I said I’m more used to American terms.

    @FaeGrl – That’s okay! And yes I would like to move to America. I seem to get along with Americans, and you guys have so much stuff over there! My favourite states are Massachusetts (haven’t been…[Read more]

  • @FaeGrl – ‘The Sun’s Gone Wibbly’, ‘This is Gallifrey’ and ‘I am the Doctor’ use the clock-like noise. I dunno, I just love time-pieces! Also steam-driven machines from the 1800s as well.

    For Seventh Doctor soundtracks, I suggest checking out the music for ‘The Greatest Show in the Galaxy’, its so surreal/creepy/atmospheric… as is the…[Read more]

  • Monochrome Dimension replied to the topic On The Sofa (4)

    @FaeGrl – Oh I myself am not bothered by the ‘nerd’ label… I refer to myself as a nerd sometimes. But saying that I am more used to American terms… to be honest… I wish I lived in the US.

    The Seventh Doctor is very quotable! Have you got to the end of his first season yet? Because ‘Remembrance of the Daleks’ is the first serial in his…[Read more]

  • Monochrome Dimension replied to the topic On The Sofa (4)

    I rewatched ‘Genesis of the Daleks’ today, haven’t watched it in years! I forgot just how scary Davros is in that serial, I think its the only serial where Davros has unnerved me a bit. But don’t quote me on that as I need to rewatch a couple others that I haven’t watched in years also. Absolutely brilliant serial, I highly recommend it to anyone…[Read more]

  • Monochrome Dimension replied to the topic On The Sofa (4)

    @tomsscarf – ‘Trial of a Time Lord’ has one of my favourite openings to any Doctor Who episode randomly. As its a season long I think its better to rate each story, I prefer some over others. I don’t find it boring however.

    Anyhow, welcome to the forums!

  • Monochrome Dimension replied to the topic On The Sofa (4)

    @bluesqueakpip – Indeed! I’ll be happy to post my thoughts on it when we get to it, as its a Dalek/Davros episode I’ll have lots of comments. lol!

    And thank you! The cosplay is a gradual process, but I do hope to have it completed within this year.

  • Monochrome Dimension replied to the topic On The Sofa (4)

    Well I have almost completed my quest to watch every Dalek episode ever made (sans the missing eps until they are found); I have watched all the existing Classic Series serials with Daleks, working on New Who now. Just watched ‘Victory of the Daleks’ for the first time… ummm, bit odd. Wasn’t  sure what to make of it… and I don’t like the…[Read more]

  • @FaeGrl – I hadn’t listened to that track properly before, I really like it. Especially as it emphasizes more on the clock-like noise; I have an obsession for time-pieces (especially mechanical), so I like it when songs and music incorporated the sounds of clocks/watches etc.

    As I posted my favourite Doctor’s theme, here’s my other favourite…[Read more]

  • Monochrome Dimension replied to the topic On The Sofa (4)

    @FaeGrl – No problem!

    And yeah Doctor Who was cool in the 80s! (Replying to a previous comment of yours… non-linear replying I guess? Timey-wimey?) Okay a lot of folks didn’t think it was, especially over here in the UK… but I would just like to say… that the Seventh Doctor is awesome! Thank you! Now… off to find some music to post in the…[Read more]
