@PhaseShift Just got back in. Have pulled something from my usual source. Will add links on the Home page etc. tomorrow.

@PhaseShift  For a Fourth Doctor suggestion, may I offer either Genesis of the Daleks or The Seeds of Doom? Both feature Sarah Jane, who would probably go over well; both are really excellent stories. Genesis of course has special interest because of Davros and the Daleks (also has Harry Sullivan), but I really love Seeds as well, it is an…[Read more]

re post 25640 🙂

Thankfully the water missed us but cousins caught it bad down on the levels and work was an insane battle against water breaching into the contaminated site and then (even worsererer) leaving again, could have been a right royal eco mess, struggle over, containment successful and my thanks was end of contract so now…[Read more]

@PhaseShift – Awesome. I think ‘Curse of Fenric’ would be perfect, brilliant episode to discuss. I’m guessing we’d be watching it as transmitted rather than the movie version?

@PhaseShift – I would prefer a chronological order; but its not a big deal really… whatever folks want first.

I think ‘The Time Meddler’ and ‘The Mind Robber’ would be perfect for Hartnell and Troughton. Not sure for Pertwee, T. Baker or Davison, but for C. Baker ‘Varos’ is the best bet, everyone seems to agree. For McCoy I originally suggested…[Read more]

@PhaseShift – Ah yes my Topic Dalek-ness was actually beginning to think these conversations would be better suited to that thread. I’ll keep the posts here shorter and less in-depth now. I’ll respond to some of the other posts here in just a while.

Quick note – my Seventh Doctor jumper arrived today! I’m wearing it right now! Yay! Its awesome.

@PhaseShift – the discussion starts here On The Sofa.

To warn you in advance, it also includes a suggestion for Vengeance on Varos from @MonochromeDimension.

@Craig, @FatManInABox, @PhaseShift and @JimTheFish

So, so, so (she says, bouncing up and down excitedly), what are we having for our retrospective? RTD part one, or Gattis? Because today is Quatermass’s last episode.

And the BG Series? It was suggested that we could run both – we did before the 50th.

Hi @Phaseshift – he he, maybe, though a cameraphone photo from my phone could be a tad underwhelming (its not a great camera).

However I will think of people here and if I see anything I’ll give it a snap!

Now, really must pack!

@PhaseShift and @JimTheFish

Jim The Fish gets the bonus – the inverted comma’s around ‘appear’ was meant to hint at John Scott Martin. Edward Burnham is too easy – he’s got such a recognisable face. 🙂

I think the fact that I always feel the Wild Hunt scene is too short is a huge compliment. I want to see more. And yet, it gives us all the…[Read more]

@Craig – cheers!
Jesus and Mary Chain – they’re a band I really didn’t get into and can’t figure out why. Especially as I was into other Indie music at the time.
Fantastic to hear this – simple and poignant. Yet another prompt to dig out more of their stuff (it worked with LCD Soundsystem – I’m now enjoying their album Sound of Silver!).

Thanks…[Read more]

@PhaseShift – welcome back, btw, though I’m sorry your absence was due to flood damage assessment.

As Craig says, we’re now onto Episode 5 of Quatermass. Your input would be gratefully received. 😀

@Phaseshift

Right that’s the welcome done – you’ve work to do. Get over to the Quatermass thread,. Epi 5 today*. It’s been brilliant so far)

😉

PS  @Everyone – if we MUST do  6th revisit ( 😉 ) – please please please VENGEANCE  ON VAROS.  Slithery evil Sil is one of the best villains ever.  And it’s only 2 episodes, 45 mins each (coul…[Read more]

@Phaseshift Great to have you back. I’ve just posted Episode 5 of Quatermass, so you’ve got a lot of catching up to do, when you do get a moment.

@Bluesqueakpip I await your wonderful commentary with baited breath.

@Phaseshift!!!!!

you’re back! 😀

<jumps and down and falls off the sofa in still a slightly cosmic-sparkly (thanks @Juniperfish) ball of overexcited matted fur>

Also happy that the Scottish climate round my way could best be described as “mild” (not normal, but I’ll take it). Sympathies for those up to their necks in mud, shivering or…[Read more]

Yikes! Apologies for double post – no idea how that happened. I trust a mod can sort that out please (and then delete this one too) –

@FatManInABox @Craig @JimtheFish @Phaseshift (where the devil are you? Hope you’ve not succumbed to the lergy that was going about post-Xmas; the Quatermas thread in particular is in full flow, and needs you!)

Hi @shultze101 – welcome and what a marvellous first post!

Really interesting that you liked Ten as your “My Doctor” even though you loved Nine.

A long while back, some of the Mods (was it @Phaseshift ?) and @Craig wondered how a Poll might help or hinder this Forum. Basically thoughtful long-form posts (like yours) are what makes this place…[Read more]

@Bluesqueakpip @PhaseShift Yes, I’m now over my horrible cold / man flu. Although it’s taken me a week to catch up with other work etc. Hope PhaseShift is getting better too.

I’m quite happy to do it as a forum topic under the TV Programmes forum and will set it up shortly, and put something on the home page too.

@bluesqueakpip, @PhaseShift

Fantastic. Please do it.

@phaseshift – There’s now been several requests for Quatermass and the Pit. So – blog or Episode by episode forum?

If forums, someone will have to agree to set them up, as I only have blog privileges. 🙂

Hope @Craig is recovering from that horrible cold.
