Backseat Doctor. I couldn’t help but think of him selecting his threads in Bells after deciding “Monks are uncool”.
“What do you mean I need a scarf…. it’s lovely […]

Yes, dear ‘Xander is the type of personality who is probably a frequent lurker on this site, drawn, like a dog, to the smell of its own vomit. Frankly, I couldn’t give a wet slap.

I was discussing this with one of my colleagues today and I think that the tone of this forum has been set, and it may be very difficult for it to be changed, even if a few trolls try.
I think I agree […]

@craig, @bluesqueakpip and @ScaryB
On the 50th thread I wondered if we should play it by ear? I agree with closing it, but perhaps it should not open again to be replaced with a a blank slate that has links to […]

PhaseShift wrote a new post, In Praise of … The Paternoster Gang
I was delighted when it was announced that the three characters introduced in “A Good Man Goes to War” were to return to the show, and was an early adopter of the idea of a spinoff. To me it seemed so natural an […] -

Don’t know if this will help as a workaround, but it’s how I format comments for blog posts to easily use the html format functions.
Basically I open the blog page and one of the comment pages like […]

@HTPBDET, @OsakaHatter, @JimTheFish
I thought about the cloning issue a few years ago. I always imagined it as one of those “moral” issues the Doctor was confronted with. Imagine an isolated human colony that […]

PhaseShift commented on the post, All just stories in the end
I think on the central question about how those memories are formed, I’ve basically stated my position on the “Faces” thread. I really don’t feel able to judge those Doctors who came before my experience when […]

PhaseShift commented on the post, The Sandman – a primer for Doctor Who bloggers
I’m informed that any reprint dated after 2003 in any country will be free of the gap, so the special edition will be fine. It impacted some reprints between 98-2003 apparently (a bit all over the […]

The BFI are spoiling us this month!
Here we have Peter Davison, Sarah Sutton, Janet Fielding and Matthew Waterhouse as well as director Graeme Harper on the era of the Fifth Doctor, and the making of The Caves […]

PhaseShift commented on the post, Blast from the Past – Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased)
Many thanks!
I really enjoyed Jekyll but haven’t seen it for a few years and don’t have it on DVD. I have a few more ideas for “Blasts from the Past” though and hope to develop them. I’m no writer […]

PhaseShift replied to the topic S33 (7) 13 – Nightmare in Silver
Many thanks for the response on my post – I’ve quickly skimmed it and your own “stories” one, but I’m going to have to respond tomorrow evening. I have to get up at absurd-o-clock unfortunately […]

Suicide can be altruistic. I think all of the Doctors who died that way were altruistic….the exception for me is Tom Baker, because he seemed to me to justo give up – he had had enough
A bit […]

PhaseShift wrote a new post, A subjective viewpoint of linear continuity
“People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect. But actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it’s more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey… stuff.”
The Doctor, […]

PhaseShift commented on the post, The Sandman – a primer for Doctor Who bloggers
Watchment is very good. If you buy a copy of it though, there are a couple of reprints that have a small section removed. It deals with how one of the characters truly “became” his mask. I haven’t got […]

@wolfweed. Laughed at the picture. Matt looks hilarious. Poor Catherine though. She’s rumoured to have stuggled with her body image in the past. Being cast as the Hulk?
@ardaraith, don’t worry, I got a bit […]

PhaseShift commented on the post, Cybermen, Emotions and Nightmare in Silver
Some interesting thoughts and a big area to cover. My take on the story was that the cyberiad was invading the Doctors body and mirroring his personality. “Drawing on the local resources” in the language of the […]
