ScaryB commented on the post, Looking Back on Series 8: A Personal Reaction
Great post. I think Series 8 will be one which will shine more with repeated viewings. It’s almost unbelievable that the AG series is heading into its 10th anniversary next year. A whole new […]

@PhaseShift — good points with which I think I entirely agree. I think it’s definitely true that Series 9 will be a strong one for Capaldi because writers will now know what and who they’re writing for much more […]

Hello @PhaseShift
How condescending. But thank you for your precis of cultural references – that added so much to my comprehension of the original blog.
I haven’t seen many of your posts, but the ones I’ve […]

PhaseShift commented on the post, Looking Back on Series 8: A Personal Reaction
Oh dear, that escalated. I wish I hadn’t had to go shopping now. Even though the household would have likely starved after me being a week away.
You and @PhaseShift both demanded your right to […]

@Phaseshift and @FatmaninaBox – Thanks for the heads up on the BBC programme, Tomorrow’s Worlds: The Unearthly History of Science Fiction. That looks really good.
@Juniperfish Which Doctor for me? Would have to be Hartnell, I love the frock coat style, and it’s black! There again I do love hats and I’ve already got a Tom Baker scarf (extra lon…[Read more]

re the offending term – I hadn’t come across it till I heard it in connection with RTD, when it conjured up images of Emperor Ming and his followers (cheap scifi, […]

@apopheniac @jimthefish @phaseshift
Like @juniperfish, I think this was one of RTD’s misses. I know it was probably just a derivation of ding-dong with maybe a bit of Morlock thrown in, which he definitely […]

@Phaseshift and @FatManInABox thank you – I might watch that.

@apopheniac — @phaseshift is correct and the reference is to the RTD interview (and subsequent usage). The term is in no way a reference to people with any kind of disability (except perhaps with a disability to […]

Hello @PhaseShift
Sorry, I didn’t see your response before I typed mine. If RTD used ‘ming-mong’ that still doesn’t make it an acceptable term. I must stand firm on this. Terms which are pointlessly […]

Mudlark replied to the topic The Curse of Fenric part 1
what’s going on with her hair?
Ace’s hairstyle is a pretty accurate reproduction of the kind of hairstyles worn by women in England during the war, as are the hairstyles of the other female characters. In Britain at that time almost everything, not just food, was either strictly rationed or in short supply, and that included mat…[Read more]

JimTheFish replied to the topic The Curse of Fenric part 1
For me Fenric comes just under Ghost Light as McCoy’s best. As others have said, it pretty much contains the template of many elements of the new series. You can see the genesis of Rose in Ace, for example.
I have to admit I’ve never been the biggest fan of Ace. You can see what they were trying to do with her and she’s definitely a vast impro…[Read more]

@PhaseShift. Glad your brother is on the mend.
@Arbutus & @Apopheniac I second that award. I worked out what BTL meant but every time I see it I hear Billy Crystal’s voice in my head.
Cheers

No wonder the Master willed himself to death.
It was the Doctor’s speech, I swear. Tennant did his best, but anyone facing the prospect of more of those sanctimonious speeches […]

@Phaseshift That sounds like a great thing for an eccentric uncle to do 🙂
My other favourite camp sci-fi movie is the incomparable Barbarella. I re-watch it periodically with a dear friend, equally charmed by […]

@Phaseshift What a splendid post.
The Doctor and the Master are a take on Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty are they not, but with a twist more twisted love gone wrong in the mix.
My least favourite […]

@PhaseShift This is a pretty interesting subject. In fact, I was thinking of making a video version of my list. Would you mind if I mentioned you in it?
