@Whistht

Ha! Spot on. There again you can’t go wrong with Tom Waits in my book 🙂

Thoroughly enjoying being back in this lovely place – just like the old days… hmm. my boy, yes?!

I give you this in return, in memory of Denny Laine who passed away this week (Blue(s) and Wild, if not Yonder)

@JimtheFish Would love to read your blog, but can’t see a link… can you make it live?

@Mudlark I noticed that Graun article too, and thought exactly the same thing. Thanks for posting.

Wibbly wobbly timey wimey… Who’d a thunk it, eh?! 😉

@Juniperfish

Utterly charming and utterly neurotic, and far too many drinks in one day.

haha, it is that, and another time (and place) altogether. Thanks for sharing

@oochillyo

AAAARGGHHHH! I’m traumatised! 🙂 (You did warn us, but I had to scroll 😛 )

@Whisht

Haha, what else? 😉

Now what about this week…? How about this for an episode about doubles and detecting life signs:

(And also interesting thumbnail which seems to be AI image gone a bit wrong 😉 )

And finally:

@BobbyFatv2

Explain the brilliance of this episode in five words or less:

”my arms are too long”.

Just that – totally brilliant.

Sorry – that was a bit long!

As to the “Why” which has been brought up. In reality I suspect the Beeb offered 3 episodes for the 60th, Disney came up with the extra budget and Tennant and Tate and RTD had got off on the idea of bringing them back for another shot (and the chance to re-set Donna’s mind-wipe). Maybe to being back old 10 fans before…[Read more]

Ah, sorry so late to the discussion, had to be out of town on Sat, Sun and just caught up. Lots of interesting discussion above which I’ll get back to (and great to see everyone including @WhoHar @thane16 @miapatrick @phaseshift again)

The episode – WOW! I really loved it. But then I’ve loved weird Who since way back to Edge of Destruction! Not…[Read more]

Really great to read Pat Mills’ comments and his review of The Star Beast. He goes out of his way to stress how well he and John Wagner were treated by the DW production team in terms of respect (and presumably remuneration 😉 ) as the original character creators.

@blenkinsopthebrave Seconded! Huge thanks to our mighty emperor @Craig, and Time Lords/Troll Bashers @JimTheFish and @Phaseshift (and every member who helps keep this a civilised space. Here’s to lots more congenial discussion and bonkerising.

(T’other place is still running (with lovely Martin Belam having taken over the reins from the late Dan…[Read more]

And the new TARDIS design is awesome! I really wasn’t keen on 13’s, it felt too cluttered.  I liked the more organic feel of the other AG ones, but this contains such amazing callbacks to the original Hartnell TARDIS that I fell in love with. Although you’d think it wouldn’t be so vulnerable to coffee spills, haha.

So… do we think this design…[Read more]

I really enjoyed that!

It does bode well going forward, especially with the (clearly on screen) bigger budgets.

I particularly liked that Rose’s trans identity was a plot point, not just a random thing. “Binary” was the word that Donna’s mind glitched on originally when 10 realised he had to mind wipe her. So its resonance in The Star Beast…[Read more]

Nice one Mr @Whisht

It is indeed lovely to catch up here again 🙂

@Jimthefish – a forum would be good. I missed that they’d done a colourisation/new edit. Sounds like it’s worth watching (and that from an old dyed in the wool b/w fan!)

@Blenkinsopthebrave

You are so right.

I’ve been digging into some of the old episodes (via the charming Tardis Tales series) – it’s like time travelling back to my younger self and different times (good to be able to fast forward again tho!)

How are you my friend?

BBC APPROVED SPOILERS...

Happy Anniversary fellow Whovians.

Have a great day… and weekend.. and many more days overindulging in tales of our favorite Timelord.

My 7 year old self who fell in love with an eccentric, curmudgeonly, white haired old man (who wan’t quite what he seemed), his companions and a strange blue box exactly 60 years ago today would have been…[Read more]

Happy New Year everyone. Hope 2022 brings you health and happiness… and the Dr Who that you want!

(Apologies for my absence recently – had a wee bout of Covid, so been delayed in catching up, and behind with comments. 0/10 for the yeti 😛  🙁   )

Will be on catch up for tonight as well – tho with its time-loopy theme, will anyone kn…[Read more]
