Watching it again reminded me a bit of Walter de la Mare’s ‘The Listeners’

Ooohhh! Splendid reference. If I could award gold stars ,I’d award you one. Imagine it.

On next weeks episodes I’ll […]

@whisht

I’m glad you (and others) enjoyed that interview. Sylvester always strikes me that way, very open, honest and disarming. I actually get the impression he put a lot of thought into what he wanted to do […]

I mentioned last week the confidential for this one, which was directed by David Tennant and sees him in conversation with Steve Moffat and many of the other creatives involved in the new show. You do get the […]

You know – I actually watched this with a couple of people who really don’t like Doctor Who and they were amazed by it. Properly spluttering “bloody hell” while on the edge of their seats.

It’s an astonishing […]

@shazzbot

Just consider – if this had been March 1978, I’d have been heartbroken to have missed this and miserable that I’d probably never see it as circumstances robbed me of the allotted time.

As I grew up […]

@JimTheFish

I agree that you can’t underestimate some of the impact of this run and the New Adventures on the AG series. One of the joys of doing this thread has been watching some old serials and reading some […]

“Everything’s got to end some time. Otherwise nothing would ever get started.” – Eleventh Doctor

….but really it wasn’t the end. The ironic thing about the Seventh Doctor is that he never really went away. […]

“You don’t understand regeneration, Mel. It’s a lottery, and I’ve drawn the short plank.” – Seventh Doctor

After Colin Bakers departure, the announcement came that Sylvester McCoy was to play the Seventh Doctor. […]

Seventh month rapidly approaching – Seventh Doctor. Your thoughts, memories, clips and quips are required to discuss this chap. Mr Sylvester McCoy.

The AI report in his first year had this to […]

@wolfweed

Does it reflect badly on me if I admit I wanted to punch his smug face in the moment he suggested Twin Dilemma was superior to Fires of Pompeii?

What the hell. I shall meet him on the field of […]

@Arkleseizure

I’m glad you got something from Trials and Tribulations. I have to admit that when I first saw it I was a bit agog. So much I had taken for granted seemed to be thrown into doubt.

Like you, I […]

@jejcoll

As well as the Faces strand mentioned by @whisht, there is a memories strand which features (amongst others), a story about how I actually met my Doctor.

@DanMartinUK has his next classic episode up for comment. It’s Talons of Weng Chiang, so for anyone watching it from new in our little experiment, SPOILERS!

@shazzbot

Yes, the talking heads are pretty enthusiastic, as only people who are being paid to appear in a celebratory TV show can be 😉

In all seriousness, I think you have to look at the what they say and […]

A bizarre little feature on Dan Starkey at a convention in the Guardian at the moment.

I must say, […]

Alas, we near the end of June and the Sixth Doctor. When the most positive thing we can say is “it wasn’t ALL his fault”, that’s probably for the best. Just a couple of things in case you are interested. Here is […]

We may have to limit bad news on the Sofa if it’s going to kill the Forum like that. 😉 Sad news on both.

As I’m allergic to YouTube films of kittens doing something hilarious, have something else to lighten […]

@Craig (many thanks for finding this)

I’ve just watched that Confidential for the first time in full form since it was broadcast (the DVDs being cut down) and it really is entertaining. A great look at […]

@bluesqueakpip

I’ll have to rewatch Hide (doesn’t it seem a looong time ago now?), but that lack of consideration may play more into his relationship with Clara at the time. At this point, isn’t she really the […]
