@whisht @thane15 @ScaryB and anyone else who cares…

Nothing to do with episodes but:

GO OUT AND BUY THEA GILMORE’S NEW ALBUM NOW! I posted The War, the teaser track, a while back but the standout tracks are Slow Fade To Black and Rise (which is just sublime) – but rather annoyingly neither have been youtubed yet. So have two of the best covers…[Read more]

Welcome back to @scaryb and @fatmaninabox…

I was beginning to worry about the two of you….

ah, it’s good to have the old family back together… sniff….

Hi all and thanks for the welcome backs (welcomes back?).

I had intended a ‘big return’ to the forum but my plans have been scuppered by a few PC problems over the last couple of days. Still, there’s plenty of time to catch up.

While I realise it’s not necessary, I’d like to take a moment to explain my absence over the past year; I’ll try and…[Read more]

@ScaryB  Weclome back!!!!!!!

@ScaryB

I’m sorry. Who are you?

@janetteb:

I didn’t get to see DT as Hamlet, but did see Olivier, Branagh and Cumberbatch’s versions. Enjoyed all three so differently played,. BC’s was the most up to date, plus helped me to sympathise with  the character at last. I always found him to be a weak man  until I saw BC’s adaptation.

@scaryb:   Hello, *waves*

You forgot the Ja…[Read more]

Hey Hey Hey Hey – its @ScaryB !

Great to see you back on the boards (even if its intermittent!).

[lyrics aren’t meaningful, but the title made me smile and its just one helluva choon!!]

@scaryb Great to have you back. Safe from the annoyance of RL for a time I hope. 🙂

The discussion of the recent episodes has been flowing so fast that I have been left behind. Too much of that annoying RL stuff too and so much to be discussed. I am two weeks behind and am unlikely to have time to catch up this week.

Cheers

Janette

@scaryb

Wow! You’re back! What good news!

On a mercifully non-Brexity note, anyone going to Glasgow Comic Con this weekend? @ScaryB? @Wolfweed?

@ScaryB

My God! She lives!

That vid was very well done. Still haven’t worked out why a library needs an auto-destruct sequence though…

@scaryb The diamond is The Halassi Androvar. King Hydroflax was raiding the Halassi vault when it exploded on him.

Thanks for that @scaryb  it was great!       I just watched SiTL and it is very bittersweet now that we have come to know River. I also love that the Doctor gave River his Sonic because she told him he would and that is how he “saves” her. Very timey-wimey.

Just popping in to say that was absolutely fab. Probably counts as the best Christmas episode I reckon and a fitting in to what has been a terrific year of Who. SM has really knocked this one out of the park.

Capaldi and Kingston were as great as I expected them to be and it is, I think, the perfect pairing for 12’s Doc. I still wouldn’t be at…[Read more]

Like @Puroandson Still waiting to watch the Christmas special. We are heading to the cinema tonight to see the inevitable. (Boxing Day film releases are a tradition here and we are sticking to it,) so may not be watching Dr Who until tomorrow night, (which is referred to as ‘second Christmas Day in our eccentric household) but will be able to do…[Read more]

@scaryb you’re back! What a great Christmas present! And so many familiar avatars lurking today! Hurrah!

On the confirmation that @juniperfish‘s red/blue theory was ultimately borne out, is it possible that the ‘arse’ in this episode was a nod to that celebrated acronym of @ScaryB‘s?

@Scaryb – great song.
I knew the links between Nick Lowe and Elvis Costello but only knew of Costello’s version.

A good day to hear it.

@countscarlioni   if he gives her the chip, Clara too has the potential to become another destructive tidal wave. The Doctor, as he shouts at the end of The Girl Who Died, can do anything, but here he grasps, after Ashildr has hugely sharpened his understanding of this, he shouldn’t save Clara. No wonder the Doctor has to go off by hi…[Read more]
