@Blenkinsopthebrave and @phaseshift

I’ve checked online and Quatermass and the Pit is available in its entirety. So a rewatch would definitely be possible.

he he @Arbutus – and there was me waiting for them to kick in with the DW theme…

;¬)

Well, I can’t pong with any harpsichord (at least nothing springs to mind) but the guitar playing does remind me of Fripp (although it also reminded me of Ed Alleyn Johnson from @Phaseshift ‘s very first music post on this thread!).

So, because the stars…[Read more]

@Phaseshift @FatManInABox @JimtheFish @Craig

Can one of you please (pretty pretty please!) edit my post #24376?

The 4th para (1st big one) end of line 1 – fabric of face (and time) should be fabric of space

Much appreciated 😀

Doh! <facepalm> etc etc

@PhaseShift

@PhaseShift – I think your ‘retrospectives’ graphics contributions are great and should be used.
The more versions submitted by different people, the more the images can be swapped over the weeks.

Here’s a quick Fenric image I’ve done. I’m interested to see other peoples’ take on Fenric & the other stories…

@FatManInABox – Nice nip & tuck…[Read more]

@arbutus and @nick

Did it not occur to them before Clara spoke that they ought to help the Doctor?

Good question: what I would ask (since it’d need a detailed rewatch) is: do the Time Lords have any idea how they need to help the Doctor?

What I mean is: their last view of the Doctor is of thirteen Doctors. The Tennant Doctor’s regeneration to…[Read more]

@phaseshift – Hmmm, quite! I’ll get back to you on a different Sixth Doctor episode!

Just watched The Greatest Show in the Galaxy; gotta love McCoy. And actually I haven’t posted in that faces thread yet… I thought there was a specific time to talk about every Doctor… or can you just post about any Doctor you want in there?

I decided to re-watch all the episodes starting from Chris Ecclestone’series, and this week saw ‘The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances’. I always forget how much I enjoy this story, and recall being terrified of the gas mask people, mainly because masks (and in particular gas masks) give me the creeps. I also forgot that it was Moffat’s first story on…[Read more]

@PhaseShift – Ah, okay, cool. Here’s some other suggestions for the Doctors;

First – The Daleks
Second – The Mind Robber
Third – I like the idea of Day of the Daleks
Fourth – Pyramids of Mars
Fifth – The Five Doctors! 😀
Sixth – Trial of a Time Lord
Seventh – The Greatest Show in the Galaxy

@PhaseShift and @FatManInABox – it’s good news. It also shows that – whatever the grumblers are grumbling – Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch are obviously having fun with it.

@Juniperfish and @WhoGirl – Molly’s boyfriend is definitely sus. In The Sign of Three, Molly’s looking considerably ‘older’ than in The Empty Hearse. She looks…[Read more]

@PhaseShift

The BG retrospectives are a brilliant idea. Is this ongoing or something that’s due to start up again? If the latter what will the next series be? I’d love to get involved!!

@PhaseShift

Moral fibre is relative. My family members cycle to school/work in the rain all winter, but we don’t like the  temperature to drop more than a couple of degrees below zero. We get called on this all the time by our relatives in colder climates, but then they come to visit and complain about the damp. Ha.

Cheapness, however, is…[Read more]

@Phaseshift Agree re selective reading of the G below the line comments. it’s the only way to avoid @JimtheFish‘s sneaky snakes 😉

Well, I suppose Sunday could see the Watsons settled into contented parental bliss with several kids and  nanny Sherlock onhand to bribe them with suitably gruesome stuff… but somehow I doubt it. 😀  Agree with < …[Read more]

@theprettyreckless – Welcome to the forum!

@confusedpolarity – Also… welcome! I too love the Second Doctor, he’s probably my second favourite… while the First Doctor is… my first favourite? Okay. Yes. I think that made sense.

@phaseshift – Ah ‘The Daleks’, great serial! And ‘The Time Meddler’ is also a awesome story; glad to hear its going…[Read more]

@Phaseshift I would be very happy to go through all six episodes of Quatermass and the Pit. As well as being very, very scary, it’s a rare surviving example of a live TV serial.

A lot of the show was pre-recorded on 35mm, then during broadcast they basically pointed another 35mm camera at the monitor. They did a similar thing for Quatermass II…[Read more]

@JimTheFish @PhaseShift

30 seconds in. Look familiar? I don’t know if it menaces him, but it looks a bit menacing.

@JimTheFish,

TY, your fishiness.  I definitely will check out @PhaseShift‘s blog when I have a mo or ten.  Want the time to give it justice.  Have a friend coming over for dinner in less than an hour and no Tardis to cook the turkey in!  Gotta get crackin’

By the bye, has there been anything substantive posted on here about Quartermass?  I’ve…[Read more]
