    @pharellman Re: Clara, I feel just the opposite. I loved her Oswin incarnation in Asylum of the Daleks, then felt they didn’t quite know what to do with her when they paired her up with Matt’s Doctor. I liked her, but felt her character was rather anemic when compared with the little spitfire who was Oswin. Then, as Seasons 8 and 9 unfolded, I…[Read more]

    I thought this episode was pretty good and I really liked all of the different kinds of people who lived their lives on the motorway in their  space vans.  What more can I say?  Oh yes! Cat people and little baby, cat, human hybrids and  cookies made from waste, yummy.

    I started watching Doctor Who at the start of series 3 (I had seen the series 2 finale though) and I actually can’t remember what I thought of this episode at the time. I remember the dalek episodes because Daleks were the coolest things on the planet and I remember being very scared of both The Lazarus Experiment and…[Read more]

    I can tell you what I like about it. One thing is the very human moments it shows between characters. They have, in each season, and to with varying success, pairings between two characters whose interests don’t join up, they don’t trust each other, but…[Read more]

    This episode may not be very comic but in my opinion you need episodes like this as I think Doctor Who works very well with a more serious tone, not…[Read more]

    What’s wromg with it?
    Take cooking for instance. One takes the time to cook a tasty meal and it’s gone in about ten minutes? so much for creativity.

    As for rest, it’s boooring! Definitely NOt relaxing or mentally stimulating.
    If I can listen to a talking book (which I do a lot) whilst slaving away with the duster, broom, and…[Read more]

    @pharellman  What’s wrong with cooking, and kind of “some cleaning house” housework? Sometimes it’s even relaxing after whole day of tired life.

    It took me many decades to give in and admit that much as I hate washing the dishes, once I’ve actually driven myself to do it, it’s a very soothing, pleasant way to spend some time.
