Harrumph. RTD/ Verity interview already post by SOMEONE!

Honestly! Some people work is never appreciate 😉

(BTW, if anyone wants the Delia Derbyshire drama from Radio 4 I’ve got a rip of it)

@scaryb   Unfortunately, ours got out and ran amuk in the world.   Shudder….

@ScaryB – I’m doubtful that Osgood is Kate’s daughter. Not because of ‘ma’am’ versus ‘mum’ (I think ma’am) but because when Osgood finds Kate alive she calls her, in her enormous relief, ‘Kate’.

If Osgood was calling Kate ‘Mum’ earlier, she’d call her Mum then. Not suddenly switch to ‘Kate’.

That said, I suspect Osgood is indeed Sgt Osgood’s…[Read more]

@ScaryB

Also, when Osgood rescued Kate from the ….er…..network of lower intestines or whatever it was….she very clearly called her Kate and, when they were confronting the Zygons, Kate called her Osgood.

That ain’t filial!

NOW

Very early on in Matt’s run, around TBB or VotD he was asked about family by Amy and he said he’s lost it an…[Read more]

@ScaryB   But, but isn’t Brian Cox a good actor?

Lexx, I knew the guys who did it actually, small world eh.  The first two seasons were brilliant, the third season was flawed, the fourth was a matter of too little time, too little money, way too much to do.

@Shazzbot

I’m a bit disappointed that ‘the last, great war’ – The Time War – is a lot of splodey things, and fires, and people being flung about by explosions.

It was the last day of the War – and pretty close to the end game, with or without the Doctor. Any squadie will tell you that wars are won by taking land, with troops on the ground fig…[Read more]

@scaryB, @Shazzbot, I was confused a bit about Osgood’s relationship with Kate.

They definitely behaved like mother/daughter in that telephone scene. That would explain why she is such a fangirl of the Doctor and expects so much of him (probably lots of her bedtime stories were filled with his adventures).

However, later on I thought how…[Read more]

@ScaryB

Nah. It’s a classic trusted PA trope. Important people have “people”. She is Kate’s  Clara to the Doctor’s..er.. Clara.

@ScaryB

No, she definitely says Marm (ma’am). I know a home counties accent when I hear it 😉

@Shazzbot

very similar line to Idris in The Doctor’s Wife, about not being able to tell the difference between past and future?

That’s Gallifreyan engineering for you!

@ScaryB

You saw it at the O2?? Me and @Bluesqueakpip were there too. Shame we didn’t know beforehand. We were the 2 in 3D glasses, fairly near the front, squeeing regularly throughout! 😀 Wasn’t it great to watch as a big communal experience with everyone applauding/laughing etc at the same time?

Aaa, I was near the back with the good view (ie no…[Read more]

@Juniperfish

Okay I watched it. And I have to agree with you. Looks like the two stream facility idea I settled for earlier. Gallifrey looks so different. Definitely after the time lock (and supposedly burning). So maybe in the version we have seen this weekend the Timelords have not yet decided that they will end time itself.

But that would…[Read more]

Lot’s of good stuff to read here (@pedant, @timeloop, @wolfweed, @scaryb)

OK, Deep breath, here are my somewhat organised ramblings. I’ve tried to mention the people who sparked of my thoughts. Sorry if I missed anyone.

Numbering: @Hudsey, thanks for the info direct from Moffatt regarding the numbers. I was already getting confused before this…[Read more]

@ScaryB

*unless of course a side effect of the Time War is to age people prematurely (but that’s a whole other theory)

You owe me a new keyboard.

@ScaryB – If he’d been in it, he’d probably have compared the difference between Drs’ screen time and whined about that…

He was in it anyway, under a drape. And Dr no. 6 was in it.

Taking Craig’s offer

May I just say: Wow! LOVED IT

Just got back from the cinema. Same as @wolfweed. The hive mind was whooping and laughing and even applauding at two or three points in the cinema. Especially at the 1213 Doctors. Several cosplayers as well. I saw a TARDIS, a 7, a lot of 10s and 11s. And many screwdrivers. One came as a human…[Read more]

@ScaryB Thanks, I think this episode is fairly stand alone, it could have happened to any Doctor, in fact it happened to every Doctor! Still trying to get my head around that. Do they all remember or did they all forget apart from Matt Smith?

I’ve just finished watching the 5ish Doctors. Really funny and good natured. McCoy cracks me up 😀
