Its a long time since I last saw Survival. I have a lingering impression the Black Cat was linked to the Master ? I recall Ace’s attraction to the Cheetah people quite clearly, although I cant remember to which one in particular (although I’m sure it was towards one person in particular). I thought it was also partly for the sense of…[Read more]

I cant edit, but I didnt know that it was based on Beowulf in particular. I missed the  ?

@devilishrobby

Oh yes. I was about to specify that I particularly meant the design of the monster as I could see someone pointing out the concept of the monster was quite different !

On Missy, he struggle between the Doctor’s hope and his experience/knowledge was poignant. I’m tending to believe Missy is for real right now :). I suppose I’m…[Read more]

That was excellent and great fun to watch. The monster felt like a riff on the Moorwen from Outlander (2008 film) although it was none the worst for that. The Missy scenes are the end were excellent. I’ll avoid speculating on trailer for next week here as this is clearly spoilerish.

I assume you’re talking about the lack of local government response ? If so, I found that very shocking when I read some of the news coverage. I like most people who work and are earning anything above minimum wage really don’t come into contact with any of the local authorities other than by the annual tax bill. I writing…[Read more]

I’ve been a regular attendee at Imperial College NHS trust (and its predecessors) since 1998 (due to past and current life sins I’m sure 🙂 ). My observation is that things havent got as bad as they were in 1998/99/00 (yet) and that the major investment (under Blair/Brown) is still there keeping the system safe. Since 2010, things…[Read more]

Thane – I’m wishing him well and hoping for the best.

@thane15

he would be able to link directly into the ‘hall of records’ and access the full horror of what he went through.

As i explained on the other thread I was referring to Chibnall (and Broadchucsh is the foundation of his reputation)

A couple of things. I dont think I’ve written that Moff has made terrible decisions. I cant think of one off the top of my head. Some things work better for me than others, but thats probably true of all of us. In discussing controversial aspects like this one, we are investigating, trying to understand Moff’s creative decisions…[Read more]

@ichabod

Yes its interesting. I dont think saving Clara was wrong, or even the wrong thing to do (although saving someone who is physically dead – no heart beat –  and remains so is surely problematic). I think, to repeat my comment which started this particular discussion running, its undoctorish.

Broadly speaking, after trying everything and…[Read more]

Jim and I were discussing Chibnall in general. Whilst I welcome the idea of one long story conceptually, we both agreed that it is very hard to do (even if CC wrote all the episodes) and CC’s efforts to date (Torchwood and Broadchurch) don’t bode well. As Jim put it “his attention to detail and reliance on the viewer to accept…[Read more]

@jimthefish

Hmm. After Broadchurch (all three) I can’t say that I’m that hopeful anyway. Good in parts, but flawed overall. Still he deserves a chance. I always thought Moff wrote too many episodes (but then the arcs were his idea so he didn’t have much choice).  If he steps back and uses a strong writing team, he might survive with his…[Read more]

@jimthefish @missrori @blenkinsopthebrave

I want impressed by James Strong’s opinion, especially if it reflects Chibnall’s. I like the sound of bold and risky, but it come across as a bit more RTD than Moff in tone. In any case, it certainly should be different. A happy mix between the two might work better for the larger audience.

Missrori I’m…[Read more]

Goodnight Puro.

Don’t tempt me into a debate on Moff’s fixed point. I prefer the BG proposition any day 🙂
