To be honest, I’d suspect around the 50th may be informative on where the site wants to go. More members and traffic equals more server capacity = more cost. A look at participation and traffic around the 50th would be useful.

If @Craig or you already have ideas, that may also be a good time to put them in a blog article to gauge…[Read more]

@bluesqueakpip – If it had been you, I would have suspected your account had been hacked. 😉

@JimTheFish @Shazzbot

I think there are ways we could adapt even an episode poll to our advantage. If you think of an initial poll as an “immediate impression”, it would be good to close out a week later with another which asks – What do you think of it…[Read more]

@JimTheFish – I’ll also clarify it wasn’t you!

@Shazzbot

On Polls, I’m interested enough to want to trial them in the future (if they aren’t too much of a problem/too time consuming for @Craig) but recognise there are a couple of drawbacks which makes me think “Trial” is the right word. For something like an episode there are sites that use…[Read more]

@Shazzbot @ScaryB

Yeah, all the greats are doing well – Adric, Mel, Dodo ….

Of course, I could be completely wrong about this and this is a true reflection of opinion. In which case, I think we are probably in trouble as there aren’t enough strait-jackets in stock in the UK.

*sigh* Another illusion shattered

You may joke (and I’m pretty…[Read more]

I wondered where to put this, but following a conversation a while ago with @craig and @JimTheFish about the possibility of implementing polls in the future (which may be a way just to evaluate feeling on episodes/issues and spark debate), I thought here.

The Radio Times is running a “Best Companion” poll for the 50th here, and I can believe a S…[Read more]

@pedant

Oh for heaven’s sake calm down.

Oh – If we are going down that route, can I strongly suggest you reel your neck back in/take a step back/consider your options? Normally I’d send a message like that by PM, but for some reason it looks like you want to make this a public argument.

@Craig

For what it’s worth, for me this is a moot p…[Read more]

@stevethewhistle @Timeloop @blenkinsopthebrave

I think most of the UK are going for Simulcast according to the article, and @Timeloop is right in that tickets are going on sale the 25th.

That puts us within 30days of broadcast, and usually when details of timings for TV schedules start coming out (to make sure the monthly preview columns in…[Read more]

Quickly popping in – for some news that may be important to some. I’ll update the blog later, but find attached an article about cinema showings in the UK. It contains a tool to find your nearest cinema.

a voice of reason in a day of madness

Many thanks – That’s not a phrase used often in my vicinity!

I can remember for years peope kept trying to attribute the Policeman to someone else. Fred Rowling(?!) or something like that. He was also mentioned as playing the Policeman in official BBC material, but it turned out he was…[Read more]

@ScaryB

BORING!!

Heh – Sorry, I thought I’d activate the “Blue Boringers” for anyone who was going to be kept awake at night wondering about the policeman.

@d12345

What are your favourite shows. You can tell us about them here. I’d be interested in sci-fi genre shows with 24 episodes a series you think would rate a 9/10.

Evening all! I can’t help feeling that if this is what it’s like for a non-specific 50th trailer we’ll have to expand again into another twenty pages when they release some actual footage. 😀

On the Policeman, I don’t think it looks like Hurt. It’s definitely not the original actor, but I think I can provide AN explanation for that.

Reg was…[Read more]

@Juniperfish

Afraid not m’dear. I shall spend the weekend reporting on the event by making facetious comments on my blog, acting as Mod etc, while celebrating in my own small way.

Please have a think, and contribute a mad cocktail recipe for a Doctor for me to sample. 🙂

Cheery wave to @Juniperfish! Long time no see.

@Shazzbot – Blog updated with details and link.
