Ooh, look, a seemingly alien planet and a definitely alien spaceship. Plus a warp drive malfunction. Whee!

And now we’re in Paris in the Springtime! Le Eiffel Tower! Le Metro! Le-definitely-not-taking-Romana-on-a-date, honestly. It was the randomiser. Really, it was the randomiser.

The Doctor is so taking Romana on a date. She, meanwhile, seems…[Read more]

@wolfweed What? Computer pictures? You sit in Paris and talk of computer pictures?

They’re both great. @PhaseShift got to the uploading before me, but I’ve now added the top one to the home page. Many thanks, once again, for the great work.

@Bluesqueakpip & @PhaseShift – I’m just waiting for the Dalek whisk and Dalek sink plunger to be released (and maybe some Handles handles)…

@Craig / @PhaseShift

Images for the home page if you want to use one.

@PhaseShift but Skeletor Master! But Lalla dressed as a school girl! But Skeletor Master! But Lalla dressed as a school girl! (wimpers) DON’T MAKE ME CHOOSE!!!!!!

I see what you mean though, rose’s return overshadowed Martha and Donna for me, and it kind of put a mood of, ” I wonder when rose is coming back” to all of series 3 and 4. The surprise ending didn’t really seem worth it. As for the end of Amy and Rory, it was what it was… beautiful but full of sorrow at the same time. I think that kind of story…[Read more]

You KNOW that makes sense.

@PhaseShift and @TheKrynoidMan – besides, I’ve gone and bought the DVD now. 😈

@PhaseShift I know we’re likely going to end up watching City of Death, but I still feel obliged to vote Deadly Assassin.

@Phaseshift – completely agree that there are many overlaps between the creative worlds of 2000AD and Who (Moore and Gibbons spring to mind), but for the Judoon I thought there was more than a passing resemblance to the Gamorrean Guards:

While searching for a pic of that guard from Star Wars I couldn’t decide whether to post the one above or…[Read more]

@Phaseshift Thanks for your post to the Graun CiF new format. OMG!! 😯
*scurries back to the safety of the sofa!*

Welcome waves to @rejetto and @tbird7702
(I second Phaseshift’s recommendations as a good way in and agree completely with @JanetteB – An Unearthly Child is where it all began – everything since comes from there; it’s surprising…[Read more]

Oops, apologies re post #27495 – it as @wolfweed who said “they’re scary again”, not @Phaseshift (If any mods want to amend that post then delete this one, that’s fine by me!)

I agree with the majority re the SE version, it definitely works for me, particularly the ray gun beams and the Dalek voices. The Dalek voices are important, in the original they have minimal threat (the viewer has to add a lot of their own interpretation). In the SE version, as @Phaseshift says, they’re scary again. Woods’ performance deserves…[Read more]

I think that @Bluesqueakpip and @PhaseShift have covered this so well there is little to add, especially as I am relying upon memory because all of our Tennats eps are on a hard drive which is currently inaccessible. This was a fun episode played very much for comedy, the evil alien with the straw, the big, simple “police” and of course Tennant…[Read more]

@PhaseShift – I think it’s a ‘well, yeah?’ RTD’s first Companion was Rose. Of her two Significant Others, her Mum got the most screen time. They had a loving, but difficult relationship. Then his second Companion was Martha, and her Significant Other with the most screen time was her Mum.  They had a loving, but difficult relationship. The third a…[Read more]

@Stickfiddler – hi, and welcome. But you’ve posted this in the wrong place! @FatManInABox, @JimTheFish, @Phaseshift, or @Craig could you move the post to Spoilers? Ta.

On this site we have one forum especially for spoilers, and they live there and only there.

By the way, have you checked out Royal Mail’s online services? I dunno if they sell…[Read more]

@PhaseShift

Hitch Hikers? Absolutely!

Just the thought of hearing Richard Vernon as Slartibartfast again…wonderful

So, yes, a hundred times yes.

I mentioned the Bond influence the other week, which I think was partly a Pertwee/era thing and also as @Phaseshift mentioned again, this wasn’t originally intended to have Daleks in it. I think it gains from adding them – the chain of pressure/collusion becomes stronger. How far will someone go in allowing themselves to be compromised in order to…[Read more]

@PhaseShift

Yup a definate vote for The Sontaran Experiment

Does that up it to 2 1/2 votes now??????

@PhaseShift Thank you I’m up and ready to hit the road (technically with one foot always hitting harder hehe) The scenery will be fantastic and I think one of the pictures we’ll take today at Cerne Abbas will be right upstanding (ohh er missus)

@blenkinsopthebrave I return your salute, my k-nighted name is Sir Robert Du Kledhevor which is Cornish…[Read more]
