I’m not sure “love interest”, but you can see Litefoot is absolutely gobsmacked by her. I loved the Doctor delivering a cunning backstory for her “Found in a hatbox floating down […]

@bluesqueakpip

Yes, it’s interesting the differences in the dynamic. When I first saw GitF, I immediately thought that his interest in Reinette was almost in reaction to Mickey, or somehow trying to prove a […]

Lots to love in this one, especially from Louise Jamieson. From being about to happily confirm she killed the Doctors would-be assailant to a Policeman, and into those great scenes with Trevor Baxter as Litefoot. […]

@HTPBDET

Hmmm. If I can interject here:

What do both Madame Kovarian and the Silence try to do? They try to kill the Eleventh Doctor. Kill him in a way that will stop him regenerating.

Do they? When do […]

I watched this afternoon, as it’s quiet.

I think this is a fantastic episode, and clearly is a tale that Moff wanted to do for a long time, returning to it in an expanded form with the story of Amy.

As a […]

Just to keep you amused, this is from “Doctor Who at 40” – the Tom Baker special. It’s only 10 minutes, and the end bit talks about the story that had been voted to be shown – Pyramids of Mars.

It does feature […]

@Arkleseizure

I’d certainly agree with you on all points. I mentioned a couple of points about stories in the Sixth Doctor era I hated, and Saward was responsible. In an era so misconceived, I really should […]

@Shazzbot

I find Tegans accent really funny, but it amazed me when I discovered Janet Fielding has a massive following in Oz. Frazer Hines, who played Jamie is actually from Horsforth in Leeds, believe it or […]

Thanks @whisht. I sneaked that one in when everyones attention was elsewhere 🙂

I commend you on your purchases. Those Star Wars figures were absolutely massive when we were young ‘uns.

@bluesqueakpip

They are good points about the Valeyard and 12 regenerations. They are “writers traps” establsihed long ago for future writers (things that some aspects of fandom seem to expect to be […]

Many thanks for digging those up @Craig, I’ve just watched the Third and Fifth Doctor ones, and will save the first two for tomorrow morning I think. They are actually better than I was expecting. Some good […]

The BBC have released a short video of Matt Smith thanking various people, including the fans for his time on the show.

My introduction to the character of the Master came through some of the early novelisations, particularly The Daemons and Doomsday Weapon (televised as Colony in Space). They were fun reads, and I was really […]

Peoples of the Forum, please attend. We control the horizontal. We control the vertical. We… oh, wrong show. We interrupt this celebration of an ill-dressed oaf to present a subject which demands your admiration […]

@wolfweed @HTPBDET

I love the sense of outrage Levine is summoning there.

“People at the BBC may not have been telling me the truth”, exclaims man who recently leaked the news of Matt Smiths […]

@HTPBDET

I didn’t mean there was any specific reference to memories, because, like you, I don’t think there were in Name of the Doctor.

It was a genuine question – I couldn’t remember anything, but when you […]

@HTPBDET

but not the memories. Lots of people remember the Time War even though its sealed.

I’m not sure what memories have to do with this really, unless you spotted some reference to it in “Name of the […]

@shazzbot

You may have to live with that at the moment. I’ve shifted mutiple comments from the News to Next Doctor thread, and posted a link on the News page. The Activity thread will still show the original […]

For the sake of sanity, can we keep the next Doctor speculation stories to the Next Doctor thread?

All comments have been moved to it.
