I think River meant it figuratively, and we took it literally. I think, if River and the Doc met in exact reverse order, there would be no point in comparing diaries.

Like Winston this is an episode  that I frequently re-watch. It is one part whimsy and one part horror but the latter is subtle and it features a cat.

Trivial answer – sure we could, but they’d just melt fairly promptly. I’d guess a few space probes may have ended up there by now.

They released the fuel, back to the sun because they had stolen it. Only then would the sun release them from its grip.

The fuel was cargo, they had their own fuel. Think that’s correct? 🙂

Even Marha, though she left the Doctor on good terms, ended up as a Unit (or was it Torchwood?) operative, I think we later…[Read more]

Re The Poison Sky, I think we all have our own set of features we’re sensitive to.   In my case, it’s physic…[Read more]

Cheers

For a long time at least this episode had the highest viewer ratings, at least in the UK where she was very popular. Now Lynda with a Y would have been an excellent companion and that was early days in her…[Read more]

Both Doctor’s Daughter and Unicorn and the Wasp are light weight, enjoyable episodes. I found the later to be very reminiscent of the Davison story, Black Orchid which also taps into a literary tradition, is set in a country house…[Read more]
