    The best one of those I’ve ever come up with is Amelia Pond —-> Oedipal Man.

    @Serahni

    Very good point: the Doctor has aged 800 years on Trenzalore, accepted he was going to die there, and been given a new set of regenerations by the Timelords. He hasn’t been to Earth for nearly a millennium. From Clara’s POV, these events played out over the course of a disastrous Christmas lunch (and she still hasn’t been returned to…[Read more]

    Hello, everyone, at last.

    I’m not sure about another Flesh and Stone scene, because when Clara is arguing/negotiating with the lead droid, there are several shots where we can see the other droid who later proves to be the Doctor in disguise, and Clara is never out of his line of sight. You can see his side-eye, whereas the dormant droids are…[Read more]

    Hello, all. Happy to be back in the land of theories even more insane than what’s actually happening. Although I stumbled on possible future episode ‘The Attack Of The Giant Figs’, I probably won’t be taking this to the Speculation section…

    @ScoutTheAiredale Condolences to you and your lovely mum from me and Kenny Whippetlurcher.

    @ScoutTheAiredale

    Sorry to hear about your brother. Kenny Whippet is sending you lurcher vibes. Tell your Mum we miss her, too.

    @Bluesqueakpip – could you please find a way to do this writing thing for a living, if you don’t already? You’re taking some people to SCHOOL here. 😉

    There was a bit of wavey-hands right when Clara first arrives at the Tardis which seemed to refer to how they got out of the time stream, and it seemed to me the Doctor was still trying to figure…[Read more]

  • Also, how could I forget? Triton and Scout the fabulous @Airedales can beg table scraps from me any day.

  • Oh dear. I have already eaten a succession of fried things eg omelette; saag paneer in paratha (kati roll) but my two-glass hangover is still hanging in there. Really nothing left for it besides a duvet, a cuppa […]

    Finally! Just teleporting in from Planet Deadline, mission accomplished and all that.

    Not long to go now, so see @shazzbot et al in the pub later.

  • LOL @Bluesqueakpip – that’s my home state. Try *ten trillion* mosquitoes and you’d be getting close. MINNESOTA STATE BIRD t-shirts featuring a huge mosquito may even still be A Thing.

    @timeloop I’m told by the […]

  • There’s also a portal and involvement with UNIT in The Power Of Three!

    Both trailers are fantastic, but I can’t return to bonkers theories until after a work deadline… and I guess we get another one tomorrow?

  • Pufferfish replied to the topic The Rose & Crown

    @shazzbot – I see your Airedales and raise you one ancient whippet in Ood cosplay fail:

  • Eleventh has to be whisky and (I’m not) ginger! Also, very Pond.

    Ten, Sangria – no wonder he was so keen to get to Barcelona…

    Ninth: neat frozen bisongrass vodka. Single shot.

    A drink called The […]

  • I’ve had some thoughts about these Doctor drinks and the Fifth *has* to be turbo-Pimms (that’s Pimms with extra measure of gin) but with a celery stalk instead of the cucumber element of the Pimms garnish (because […]

    I haven’t had the time to expand on others’ contributions but I am a very grateful reader of same. Am weighing up whether to pop my head around the pub door to lift a glass to absent friends, as I could probably walk there from my home in the centre of London.

  • @mini-HTPBDETs

    Thank you so much for writing this. I hope your uncle realised how much he added to the joy in the world.

    One of the reasons I love Doctor Who is because I grew up a long way from these […]

  • Pufferfish replied to the topic On The Sofa (3)

    What terribly sad news about @HTPBDET – my condolences to his family and everyone here.

  • Hello! Have to agree with the poster up-thread who thinks Hurt Doc is Doctor (Prisoner) Zero – it means the number order of Doctors doesn’t change (bypassing a merchandising crisis) and suggests 11 massively misdirected the Atraxi in The Eleventh Hour. But did he really? Zero is and isn’t ‘The Doctor’ as we know him right now, so all 11 did was…[Read more]
