@PhaseShift and @FatManInABox – Birmingham isn’t on the World Tour list, but the Beeb might well respond to the leak of the rough cut by running some fan-event previews. If they know they’ve got a great opening episode it would be an excellent way of shifting word-of-mouth in their favour.

@ScaryB would know more than I would if that’s a likely…[Read more]

@ScaryB, your clip above made me think of a cool thing I’d like to see:

Weeping Angel Hunters!  You can track them,  watch their movements,  with strobe lights!

Like animating a movie.  😀

@Craig. Thanks for the link to the Kermode Uncut. As @ScaryB so aptly said “Nails and Heads”.

I don’t really understand why anyone would even want to read scripts before the episode airs. With a Series or film based upon a novel it is entirely different. The written work was first though reading the novel before viewing usually results in…[Read more]

@ScaryB

Long may we continue to be perverse!

I couldn’t agree more.

@PhaseShift I’ve been on quite a few sites today where the trailer is being discussed and some people are just blatantly blurting out which bit is from which episode, and what the basic plot of that episode is etc. like being able to read somehow makes them special. How small must you feel in real life to have to do that to make yourself feel big?…[Read more]

This story turns out to be the first pure historical since ‘The Highlanders’. It also turns out to be the last ever pure historical (so far).

There are no aliens. There’s not even a villain as such. It was quite a curve-ball at the time – it would be now.

But it all goes pear-shaped with the Dr’s ‘get out of jail card’.  ‘I’m a Time Lord.’…[Read more]

@ScaryB  –  Simply put,

Beware – Screengrabs from the 1st ep also now online…

If you have a pair of @ScaryB ‘s danger specs, now’s the time to wear them!

@ScaryB, thank you! I can happily picture that. I meant to say as well, many thanks to and I am opening a tab at the Rose and Crown for @Bluesqueakpip for her help. @FatManInABox, quite. I like to think of the bow tie as my reword.  @Wolfweed, that is actually very similar to the tweed jacket he got. We’re contemplating the waistcoat as well 😉

@wolfweed @scaryB

That certainly looks pan-galactic gargle blaster-ish to me.

Delighted to see Sanjeev though. We near completing another comedy set, this time from Goodness Gracious Me. We’ve had Meera Syal (Hungry Earth/Cold Blood) and Nina Wadia (Eleventh Hour). We just need Kulvinder Ghir to call house!

I just hope Sanjeev gets the time t…[Read more]

@fatmaninabox @JimTheFish @ScaryB

Many thanks for the kind words. I would have been happy with “It doesn’t completely suck”. 😉

@fatmaninabox

Actually, given my natural feelings towards six, that’s really good. Do we have a candidate for our cover image for the six review?

From the GIMP forums they are looking to implement trial version…[Read more]

@ScaryB I think this is what you mean – DOCTOR: These are their forests. I’m going to seal Charlotte inside her little world, take everybody else away. The shadows can swarm to their hearts’ content. – I don’t think it specifically states how he’s going to keep people out, but it’s clearly implied that he will make sure that no one comes in the…[Read more]

@ScaryB and @TheCrackInTheWall – the Vashta Nerada have been living quite happily in the Library since it was sealed a hundred years ago. So I reckon we can presume there are other sources of lunch on the planet.

😉

@ScaryB

Damn!

Here is a site that still seems to have it.

It really is quite entertaining (if you can see it, that is!)

@ScaryB I read that one out… “Made in Scotland, from curtains”… in my office in England, in full-on Scottish accent, and they all burst out laughing. It’s my favourite too.

For those who’ve no idea why that’s funny,  Irn Bru (the drink) had the strapline “Made in Scotland, from girders” for many, many years. I think they had to drop it…[Read more]

@ScaryB

Yes – good point re the MC in Cabaret. Though the “I mean that most sincerely folks” was pure Monkhouse in full cheese mode. 🙂

As an ex-Goth I think I side with Ford on this one. Looks great stylistically, but trying to do anything in that ship with all the black would make your brain bleed (I think that’s why Zaphod is imper…[Read more]

@ScaryB

Big f*ck up…

Run to your caves! (I might join you)

Hello @ScaryB, @PhaseShift and everyone else! I suppose you could say I’ve been hibernating. I’ll probably be back more when series 8 kicks off and I can play my favourite game of creating new links between the classic series and the revival. (This is of course impossible).

You won’t be surprised to learn that I love this Hitchiker’s episode. Max…[Read more]

he he @ScaryB – yep me heartses were flummaxing during that match (you Gronk-luvvin’ fool!)

🙂

@scaryB

I decided to post the “news” about Moffat’s intentions after series 8 on the Spoiler page on the principle that one should always ere on the side of caution.

Indeed, even the Spoiler page is getting a bit too spoiler-ish, and should be approached with caution (or not at all!)

But back to Speculation/Wishlist, I think I want to see Ian…[Read more]
