Quick question for @Bluesqueakpip – Where we doing one episode or the entire story? I can probably fit in both this weekend, but if we prefer one a week that’s what I’ll watch. Cheers.

You know, even as a seven year old, I seem to remember understanding the theatre part of it really well. My parents used to watch “The Good Old Days” on TV pretty regularly which tried to recreate the music hall […]

@curvedspace No problems with timing at all. Glad you decided to jump in. I’ve had to watch this early myself as I’ve just discovered I’d miss the old scheduled time spot after all for phone calls!

I don’t know […]

Thanks @Craig, and have a good weekend. The reason I suggested “Talons” is that it’s pretty well recognised as a great story, and has featured in many of our personal “Top50s” (certainly mine and @HTPBDET s). I […]

Hah – just saw your comment on the G @JimTheFish

Just to prove that “teeny, tiny little trains” can be every bit as thrilling as the full sized variety, here are Steed and Mrs Peel in “The Undertakers”. […]

Over on the Guardian, DanMartinUK is celebrating The Deadly Assassin.

@craig

I’d go for the weekend, and try to make it a regular fixture. At 25 mins an episode it’s not a massive investment in time. It may give the oppotunity for people who are just looking at the site […]

@Craig

I remember it well. I think it was Talons you mentioned at the time.

@bluesqueakpip @ScaryB @JanetteB @Whisht (and anyone else)

I’d be up for the rewatch idea if you went ahead with it (but may be missing for a period of weeks over the coming months).

One idea I had though […]

@PlymouthHerald

Thanks for that link. It’s everything I love about local newspapers. The slightly desperate air of trying to work out a local angle on a national story! The determination by someone to truly do […]

@ScaryB

I think I’ll leave it next time we are in this position. Expand the article, make a spurious “infographic” showing Doctors per 1,000,000 inhabitants for the regions, put in a couple of “anonymous […]

@ScaryB

esp the question that suggested approx 20% of people thought it was important the Dr is English actor. Considering that 2 of them have been Scottish!

Yes, funny wasn’t it? I’m beginning to wonder if it’s […]

@bluesqueakpip

Yes – I think it will be going above and beyond the call of duty for Jenna at the moment and until the next Doctor is announced.

I watched her meeting with the Queen yesterday and was […]

@bluesqueakpip

Brilliant isn’t it? It’s even funnier that I got to the results through an article in the New Statesman that profiles the choices by political affiliation (wrongly in some cases).

@wolfweed

That’s a relief (that it isn’t to be announced). It’s summer and the silly season may at least focus on Who.

To confirm this, in the land of you really can’t make this up, political polling company […]

@Shazzbot, @JimTheFish, @ScaryB

I’m happy to take guidance on this in accordance with whatever @Craig decides.

Personally if regular commentators want to link to commercial sites (as I do if I see […]

As we’re touching on female writers in the Whoniverse elsewhere, it timely to point out that it has been left to US writer Richelle Mead to do the short story for the Sixth Doctor as part of the Puffin range. As […]

Apologies for not joining in last night, a few things cropped up. Thanks for the responses.

@Bluesqueakpip

Yes – courage in buckets indeed. Tennant and Smith had convivial dinners with Peter Davison who […]
