Oooh 20 minute break in the Prom. Already had a couple of “moments”, one with the final chapter of Amelia Pond, laughed at Vastra and Strax hosting, and said a little prayer for the sanity of @chickenelly if they […]

I think the one thing I take from this is that it’s an early showcase for how SM would subvert the structure of a Doctor Who finale.

In the RTD era we kind of new where we were. At the end of the penultimate […]

I’ll just post a reminder for the Doctor Who Prom on Radio 3 at 7:30pm. It is being recorded for broadcast in the future on BBC One (TBA) but that will be a cut down version. If you are in the UK a radio, a […]

@wolfweed

seeing as Weng-Chiang comes from the future, perhaps he should have thought of getting a bum-bag to carry the Key to the Time-Cabinet around

I may be misremembering, but were they not outlawed […]

@shazzbot

Ahh…the dialogue is fantastic in this one, as the worlds of Jago and Litefoot crash together in a fan pleasing way.

The Doctor and Leela relationship is special to me. I think she remains firmly […]

@wolfweed

That looks rather spiffy from the air, doesn’t it? Delighted to see Yorkshire doing its bit to celebrate the man who gave us the Yorkshire Pudding (come on – advanced alien from an enlightened […]

@JanetteB

I’m glad you and the family enjoyed it. When I watched it, I was surprised by the Juliet Bravo clip. I’d seen it before and never realised it was him. I agree on his appearance in SJA as well. You […]

@whisht & @shazzbot

Enjoyed your choices for episode tracks and apologise for not joining in. I’ve seen so many fan videos cut to music, I find myself automatically thinking about them!

Here’s one though, […]

As well as the end of Ainley, the Seventh Doctor period also saw the last appearance in the regular main show of the Brigadier in Battlefield.

Nicholas Courtney always seemed a “Splendid chap”. Shortly before […]

@HTPBDET

Indeed, I don’t discount anyone’s view about Ainley generally. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion – and I am entitled to not share it

I would never suggest anything otherwise – indeed, I […]

@MadScientist72

Who wouldn’t want Hodgins job? Competing for “King of the Lab” and conducting such vital research as “what happens when you throw a whole frozen pig into a woodchipper”? A dream job for the […]

@MadScientist72

I don’t know if you’ve seen the sketch I posted at the end of my post on Peter Davison (Walliams and Gatiss kidnap him) but it’s worth a look. The role of “odd fanboy” in Cruise mustn’t have […]

@JimTheFish

I’m not sure I’d agree with the assertion that the Pond divorce sub plot is unsatisfying. Its ‘suddenness’ is part of the point, I think. It’s sudden for the Doctor, and therefore the audience.

I […]

@BunyonSnipe

Let alone retconning their entire species into Krull like creatures inside robot suits

They’ve always lived in suits; those suits have always contained micro circuitry. See the forthcoming DVD […]

@MadScientist72

Did you pick that Cruise of the Gods clip because the still shows James Corden

Entirely coincidental, otherwise I’d claim David Walliams (Gibbis in The God Complex) in the foreground.

My […]

@JanetteB

As long as the B.5 cruise comes out victorious..

In Valen’s name, how could it be otherwise!?

Bruce Boxleitner would have told them to “Get the Hell out of our Waterways” and Shatner would have […]

@shazzbot

It’s worth checking out. It has it’s moments and it’s take on organised fandom ia particularly well observed, while not being overly “sneering” at the very concept. You can pick up the DVD for low […]

@craig

Oooooohhhhh. That really is quite horrible. Enough to make your eyes bleed.

For some reason, on the cruise idea, my immediate thought was “Cruise of the Gods” – anyone remember that one?
