Up till now it was a tribute act. Now it makes sense and in the Empty Child is genuinely scary.

Now fair enough, it was linking to video games but as I said my worry is that the dyspraxia is witched on and off to suit the situation.

Yes, love The Good Place – I can see it struggle to repeat the consistency of the 1st series in the second one. It uses up philosophy ideas at a quite frightening rate.

I thought it was just a nod to the fact that he’s a bit older and so all the running would be expected to take more out of him, rather than as we often get in TV everyone appearing to be equally fit. That causes its own issues as regards Ryan’s dyspraxia though as I think…[Read more]

Yes, watched all the series of Line of Duty. They’re currently filming the next one.

 

 

Have had a check through the thread, can’t see any mention of Inside No 9, a couple of the episodes have been as good as anything I’ve seen of late.

Shows an interesting set of old films and TV series, Yesterday had The Ugly Duckling with Jon Pertwee playing a descendant of Dr Jekyll, didn’t get chance to watch, but they do repeat showings usually.

Not one of the ‘great’ episodes but very solid and looked brilliant. As others have noted, the defeat that Jodie Whittaker showed before the TARDIS appeared seemed a bit odd, and out of character, but the reference about the Stenza and the intriguing Timeless Child made the…[Read more]

As many people noted, at the time, the idea of Billie Piper seemed odd and a bit worrying but leaving aside my ancient worries, the episode is strong overall. Mickey, both flesh and plastic, is a bit of a disaster. As a character he is so awful that…[Read more]

To TempusFugit, your English is brilliant. Unless you said I wouldn’t have a clue about you not being a native English speaker.

I have just rewatched The Woman Who… and it was worth rewatching. The pace seems tighter the second time, and although the plot holes (particularly timing) get worse, they also get less important. I find it better than most intros, though I still love Rose as a reboot.

As someone who helps run a message board, my hat is doffed for maintaining that balance.
