That will be our mighty Mod/Time Lord @Phaseshift, looking particularly dashing as Roger Delgado

Oh – lovely crawling. Take a gold star. 😀

I’m so glad you’ve never seen me in reality. It would quite ruin your ideas of me.

@TheFerret

I think that’s fine looking at it. It can be a difficult one to call. I’d say if you read anything in an interview that talks about an upcoming episode, or a revelation in it surprises you, err on the side of caution and post it in spoilers. If people who read it generally don’t think it is a spoiler, we can always move it back to news…[Read more]

@DrSmith

I’m afraid I trashed your reply while moving, which may become an occupational hazard. If it’s not derived from an official BBC source, it should be discussed in the Spoiler thread. Feel free to repost it there for discussion by all means.

@wolfweed

Yep – she’s always done her bit for marketing, but with this latest one @Juniperfish has easily won the 2013 Doctor Who Forum “Golden Plug” Award. 🙂

Speech! – Speech!

@EnglishmaninNC

Greetings from Yorkshire – love the creations. As you’ve:

• Done it in the right way,
• Mentioned somewhere in Yorkshire,
• Have cool creations and avatar,

Please have a link to my Dear Santa blog and an invite to post a link to purchase if you wish to tell anyone. It gets more wandering traffic from those looking for a Christmas g…[Read more]

@timeloop @purofilion

Yep – as much as I’m looking forward to Capaldi I’ll miss Smith as well. If you want to write a bit of a eulogy to him after the episode (or even before), we have the Faces strand for thoughts on the Doctors. I’ll link to my recent post on him below. I’m positive that in my long history of viewing the show, this has been my…[Read more]

@juniperfish @purofilion @wolfweed @bluesqueakpip (and anyone else on Slapgate)

I think to a certain extent each personality is a rejection of parts of the one before, so with 10 he often appears completely at home in any situation. Very smooth, charming and socially aware. With 11 (I’m sticking with trad numbering here folks) he likes to think…[Read more]

@Elouise

I almost envy you, going into the Fourth Doctors ere fresh. Lots to enjoy.

How could you object to a beard like that though? He looks like a cross between Santa and Gandalf, which is fitting really, because that’s how I viewed the Doctor as a child. 🙂

@thommck @Elouise Just to add to the “Doctors with face fuzz” list, let’s not forget the Fourth when he was prematurely aged after mucking about with a tachyon generator in The Lesuire Hive.

@Juniperfish

Thanks for that link to the interview. I hope you don’t mind, but I added it to the blog I did on target a while ago (crediting you of course). Nice to hear he’s more upbeat and less curmudgeounly than some of the old script editors (Bidmead comes to mind) on the new series. Always knew he had class. I hope I spoke for all of us…[Read more]

I’ll just put a link here to @Bluesqueakpip s blog on the mechanics of the episode. Well worth a read, and with helpful diagrams!

@wolfweed

I had no idea that some cimemas were still showing it. That actually sounds like more of a cinema experience I’d enjoy, with only a few people.
