@ScaryB. The pic of Moffat with his Christmas pressent brings a smile to the face. He really does look like someone whose wishes have been fulfilled.

Cheers

@ScaryB

Hope your inaugural theory is cooking up nicely

In the words of Rocky the Rhode Island Red (the Lone Free Ranger):

“I’m brewing up a double yoker”

@ScaryB – I thought the TVM TARDIS really suited the Eighth Doctor, style wise. But you could be right… he might want to change it, besides… the Seventh Doctor could of had that design of TARDIS interior for quite a while; it was obvious he had been travelling for a long time after the events of the series, and by himself by the time of the…[Read more]

It may be the Spring sap rising, or perhaps I’ve overdosed on Vitamin D due to the sudden arrival of the Sun, but I think the conundrum of Coal Hill School is pretty obvious.

Coal Hill School and a character called Danny Pink – being a colour most beloved by young nieces and Grand-daughters. I think t…[Read more]

@ScaryB interesting post however what you have to remember BG episodes were only 25 mins long and AG episodes are generally 50 mins long with the various specials being on average 1hr long AG. It may be fun to work out which doctors have the most screen time but not necessary. WH set the presitent of three season and advised PT to only do 3 so as…[Read more]

Such nice music for @purofilion‘s brave leap! @FatManInABox, thanks for that Sean Lennon, great song and what a cool video!

@ScaryB, I love Free Fallin’, and k.d. lang, but although I was aware of John Mayer, I don’t know if I’d ever heard him. What a voice, and absolutely soul-piercing guitar playing. I may have to go looking for some more.…[Read more]

@ScaryB– No problem. 🙂

And @Arbutus, that rack was actually in a film called “Into The Wild”, which is a true story account of a young man named Christopher McCandless, who decided to live in the wilderness after uni, to break free of society. It’s a bitter-sweet movie and I highly recommend it. It ends with his very poignant message of,…[Read more]

@janetteB – Ian and Barbara are two of the most important companions the Doctor has ever had… they’re also absolutely brilliant. Let’s hope I an returns.

@scaryB – Yep the Seventh Doctor retrieved the artefect (no spoilers, as @FaeGrl will be watching it soon) that the First Doctor left behind, I always wonder why the First had it anyhow. And…[Read more]

Hmmm @ScaryB now you’ve got me thinking wild speculation what if the new reoccurring teacher is Ian Chestertons son or grandson it’s almost the sort of ironic homage they might do. It would also provide an almost perfect way to have the Ian make cameo appearances a bit like Bernard Cribbins grandfather to Donna Noble so to speak given that Ian…[Read more]

@Phaseshift and @JimtheFish <waves> Yes, very sorry to see BBC3 go – The Fades and In the Flesh were the best new BBC sci fi I’ve seen in aeons.

@tomsscarf Capaldi would indeed have made a great Master – perhaps we will get a body swap story to allow him to Master-it-up for an episode or two 🙂

@ScaryB Oopsy – the glitter is still getting all…[Read more]

@bluesqueakpip

Probably renegotiating their pay (upwards) each time, as well.

And quite right too 😉 I think both Tennant and Smith were reported as being on a payment escalator series by series. It’s actually a pretty good low risk model for both them and the BBC really. The BBC doesn’t particularly have to worry about waving a huge amount of…[Read more]

@FaeGrl @tomsscarf @ScaryB

Re: Second Doctor – Oh yes, the Second Doctor can be manipulative as I have mentioned before (though not as much as the Seventh is),  but he really does have a sweet demeanour. He’s a very caring Doctor (and before you point out all Doctor’s are caring, yes I know, I know! But with the Second Doctor you really get a…[Read more]

@ScaryB – I think it was me. It’s most obvious in Matt Smith’s first series – but his age and inexperience as a leading man means that the BBC higher ups probably insisted on a planned, scripted exit strategy.

For David Tennant’s first series, it seems to be more that the Battle of Canary Wharf could have been re-scripted to either force the…[Read more]

@ScaryB – Okay… I won’t be fooled then. Although, I doubt I would be, as every Doctor has their dark side… maybe not Eleventh so much, which is perhaps why I didn’t relate to him too well. Either way, I think all of the regeneration of Doctor’s I’ve experienced thus far are awesome. And my first impressions of the Second is that he’s very sweet.  😉

Greetings all. Have been out of touch, as the result of being laid up with a broken foot, courtesy of the snowy Canadian wilderness that is rural Ontario. Well, not actually broken, but I won’t be performing the can-can anytime soon. (Good grief, what an appalling image. I should reassure you that I would never attempt to perform said dance…[Read more]

@FaeGrl @ScaryB @bluesqueakpip @monochromedimension

It’s an odd one this, because genuinely if a female turned up to a fan gathering (common, before we discovered shouting at each other on t’internet was easier) they wouldn’t be more welcome. A bit too welcome in some cases perhaps. 😉

As @monochromedimension pointed out, it wasn’t too easy to…[Read more]

@Purofilion – Ha! Don’t worry, I’m new to the term “shipping” as well. My roommates are all very young and I learned of it last year. Yes, it means to imagine two characters of any series as a romantic couple or speculate it. Some fans ship the Tenth Doctor and Donna Nobel together… even though there is so much evidence to the contrary. Sigh……[Read more]

@Bluesqueakpip

And by golly, did it work. When @ScaryB and I went round the 50th Celebration, one of the very noticeable things was that the fandom was now equally split between men and women. It was no longer 90% male.

It was indeed noticeable. Suddenly it’s just about OK to “come out” as a female Who enthusiast. The young uns don’t know they’re…[Read more]
