@FishComBobulated  – As a Briton, I have no idea why most of the celebrities were there either.  Or whether they really qualify as celebrities.  If the talking heads had been limited to current and ex-stars of the […]

@shazzbot – Zoe Ball, convenient on payroll presenter who presumably wasn’t doing anything at the time.  Married to Fat Boy Slim, who also has nothing to do with Doctor Who.  Also appears to be turning into Tess […]

Yeah, happy with Capaldi. Which worries me.  Because I was worried about MS, and he’s surpassed my expectations (and will be missed in our house just as much as DT was.)  So my judgement is clearly awful and […]

Wow I go away for a few weeks and this place proves more challenging to keep up with than my ninja like toddler!

Congrats to @shazzbot on the promotion to über lord 🙂  Also loved the TARDIS translation […]

@MadScientist72 – welcome!  And some lovely theories to start with.  We had a bit of a debate over on the Name of the Doctor thread about whether the terms of the prophecy have been fulfilled yet and what it means […]

But, that’d be as daft as painting “duck” on a wall and making that work for people years later to avoid a thrown object.

You mean that’s not plausible?! Damnit,  I’d been doing exactly that on my walls before […]

@Wisht @HTPBDET

The versions of Clara we saw in Asylum and Snowmen were not “whole” in the sense that her memories of her experiences since meeting the Doctor and how she came to be where she was were […]

@CraigNixon – yeah, I think there’s a reason we’ve seen the Doctor trying to teach Clara to pilot the TARDIS and I don’t think it’s just to prove that he can teach better than Sexy herself!

Although I’m still sticking with Hurt as potential 12th Doc (so we get to see past, present and future all on screen together), here’s a little bonkers theory that crossed my mind…

Doctor 10 and Rose are […]

A devious thought occurred to me, and I’m not sure if it’s been previously suggested.  Moffat et al, deciding that much as they’d like a surprise regeneration realise that with Matt Smith’s film commitments, the […]

@HTPBDET –

The thing is, though, that the Eleventh did fall at Trenzalore. He was dying and then Clara intervened. Silence commenced falling – but Clara stopped it. The Eleventh stepped into his own time tunnel […]

@JimTheFish –

I’m still slightly wary that Doctor Ten and Rose will turn out to be Zygons as some part of a trap or misdirect. And I will be really quite annoyed if that proves to be the case. I want to see the […]

@HTPBDET – yes, your pairing of events to the prophecy makes sense, and I agree it is likely to be the events the prophecy was referring to.  The argument I was making about prophecies though is that they can […]

@HTPBDET – Perhaps Clara locates Tennant and Rose (who are fighting the Zygons?),

I did wonder if the willingness to announce returning characters early is a big curve ball and what we’ll actually get is a […]

Hi @Shazzbot – I’d like companions to be, well, just companions – not necessarily needing to be ‘helped’ by the Doctor.

Yeah, I take your point.  I was more thinking that arguably since Donna, there seems a […]

Greetings all, been lurking recently but haven’t had chance to contribute (arguably of course, I never contribute anyway, just ramble! 😉 )

Firstly, welcome back @HTPBDET – good to see you back and posting, […]

@StratCat01 –

A regeneration in the now annual Christmas special seems the wrong time to do it.

Seen this mentioned by a few people, but it’s pretty much the pattern for PG-who.  The Eccleston – Tennant regen […]

@Shazzbot – agree on bringing back Rose in S4 – it lessened the impact and emotion of that original departure.  I’d have preferred for her return to have been along the lines of appearing in Turn Left but then not […]
