As @Blenkinsopthebrave says

@whohar, are your amazing powers of prediction the result of that very long time you once spent in the bath?

I’m sure Douglas Adams would wholeheartedly agree with the power of a long bath! (And as always The Muppets are appropriate!)

Reminds me a lot of this classic…

I’ve missed this section! (And all the other bits on the forum!). I like working away, takes me to lovely places, but it doesn’t always fit in with Who schedules 😛

@Mudlark – LOVE your Lesley Gore pick for Robot Revolution – just perfect (tho I admit to bias as it’s one of my all time faves). Thank you.

Thanks also to @Whisht – always spot…[Read more]

First thing to say is…

All hail to @WhoHar 🙂

(Now I need to go and gather up the bits of my exploded brain before commenting further! And I’ve booked my cinema ticket for next week)

Late to this, but very happily caught up.

Agree with several above that the threat is unclear – what will happen to everyone if they just refuse to tell their stories? What power does the Barber have to make them? We’re not shown, but the the tension does ramp up well despite that. I’m also not clear about the hair thing – does the hair growing…[Read more]

@WhoHar Mwuhuhuh 😀

Good to be back. Thanks again for the lengthy and wonderfully detailed list (Surely if you make a list long enough, you have to have some “hits” 🙂 )

Seconding @Whisht and @Blenkinsopthebrave (and others) about hoping that Belinda isn’t “special” especially after all the hoo ha (Who ha??!) about Ruby Sunday’s mum being “normal” and the doctor’s story being about Belinda because “normal people are just as exciting as stories about Weeping Angels, Daleks and Cybermen”.

Speaking of which… what…[Read more]

More thoughts about meta things – it’s not just in story that these have been cropping up. The whole timing of the broadcasts reinforces this sense of an alternative universe. Despite it having been filmed in 2023/24…

IGN has an interesting theory about RTD trolling the shows own fans in real life with the #RIPDrWho hashtag 😉  My pet bonkers…[Read more]

@Whohar and everyone – thanks for all the ace bonkerising! 😀

And apologies for my absence on here, been working away from home and only just managed a proper binge catch up of the last 3 episodes. Twice!! And a catch up of the thoughts and theories here. I especially liked the Story And the Engine which has hung about my head a lot, and…[Read more]

@ps1l0v3y0u

Was Susan a companion?

Very definitely! She was the original you might say 😉 (Whether she was also a Time Lady is up for discussion)

I loved it, but my brain is completely tied in knots with all the meta bits! 😛 (In a good way).

The Doctor and Mr Ring A Ding have lots of visual (and other) parallels – bow ties anyone? Blue suit? Picking up a (simpering, Betty Boop-alike) female companion (in a yellow dress!) as he starts an adventure. And Mr R-a-D’s style very strongly…[Read more]

@ps1l0v3y0u

Haha. (Hey! Whaddya mean Yetis are giant android hamsters??!! We are SO much more!)

Meanwhile (just before we all head into the world of cartoons) love this piece about my new fave bot – now named as Scoot 😉 (Q&A with the designer. and a link to the official Behind The Scenes video at the end)

“polish, polish”…[Read more]

@Blenkinsopthebrave

Thanks for sharing the news about Jean Marsh. Very talented woman. I was a big fan of Upstairs Downstairs in the 70s (my next door neighbour was a cook in a similarly big house in the 1920s. She found it very authentic for the most part).

I was gobsmacked when I realised Rose was the same actor as the wonderful Sara Kingdom.…[Read more]

@thane16 “waves back”

@dentarthurdent Haha. Not jealous at all of you lazing about in tropical lagoons. It’s a tough life 😛

@winston

The Doctor has a great wardrobe.

Agreed.

Actually the TARDIS always had a great wardrobe, all the way back to Hartnell. Maybe they just lost the keys, or it relocated itself for a bit 😉

Belinda needs to go and investigate it urgently – she spent the whole of the first episode in her jammies!

I love you guys!! (Waves at everyone).

I nip off for a couple of days and I come back to a whole bunch of bonkers theories! (Puppies, doors, maybe – but it’s still great fun).

@ps1l0v3y0u – Mrs Flood is actually the Vlinx…?!

I’m liking the whole Mind Robber/Land of Fiction ideas. And there’s still the loose ends of mavity and 14’s letting in…[Read more]
