Who do we think are the Doctor’s most rubbishest opponents?

In one way, The Master (although I love watching them).

Delgado era – the Doctor just has to wait until his latest alien allies […]

@bluesqueakpip

Yes, the scripts were really bad. The usually reliable Robert Holmes contributed some stinkers, but he’d been ill for a while (he died in 86). I think everyone was operating in the dark during […]

To go off on an immediate tangent, one of the early Confidential series showed clips of a brief interview with Christopher Eccleston on why he wanted to play the Doctor.

“I wanted to play Charming. People told me […]

It’s nearly June, and in a case of life imitating art I’m shoving the Sixth Doctor into the end of the Fifth Doctor period. Your thoughts on this chap are welcome.

The AI Report on the end of the fifth […]

Just a quick note for any fans – “Horrible Histories” returns to CBBC today at 16:30!

If you have any thoughts on how you are going to fill your TV hours in between now and November why not tell us on our […]

@Craig

Actually I just noticed “On the Sofa” that when I post, I get taken to the first page (not sure if this is the problem others are seeing). I’m using FireFox latest upgrade on Windows.

If it is a size […]

@ScaryB

No argument from me that Midnight was good. I put it in my top 20 🙂 . No, that scene was used in particular regarding more subtle ways of humour.

@Shazzbot

Actually, although his post was a bit […]

@pedant

Yeah – there seems to be a strange belief in some quarters that flipping a video clip makes you immune from copyright issues. An odd one that. 🙂

& @ScaryB

And thanks. I was bowled over by that […]

@EcclestonTennant

I promised you a response.

I think comedy is a pretty weak subject to pick. Even given it’s a big subjective issue in itself. But for my money series 5-7 own that territory.

Russell can […]

@EcclestonTennant

Does anybody else think that doctor who was dumbed down after Russel T Davis and the old producers left

No, personally I don’t. That’s a brief response to a brief question.

I’m not […]

@SkyOtic

The last I heard on this was about 2003, so no idea if the position has changed since (the show is a bit bigger now).

Back then, it basically depended on your intention. If you intended to display […]

@ana-carolina-teixeira-cortes

I think they are both fan creations to be honest, and not from the show itself. The first one I recognised from Deviant art:

@DanMartinUK

If we go with it I will of course credit you.

Hah! I’d rather you didn’t if you don’t mind. I wouldn’t want to suggest to anyone that I am selling that period! I will ask a favour though. If […]

@DanMartinUK

Hi Dan – bit of a conundrum that one. I think you came below the line to present this as a personal voyage rather than an authoritative list, and that probably is the way to continue. The firm fan […]

@bluesqueakpip

I’m sure at some point the Master is going to escape that timelock, and it does occur that a marvellous arc could be developed in which he carried a few hundred non-Timelord Gallifreyans with […]

@blenkinsopthebrave

It’s funny you should mention the bit about the repairmen. I’ve been watching some of the BG episodes and today I’m watching “The Deadly Assassin”.

I’ve just watched the bit with […]
