Apart from one deliberately pays homage to the other, I obviously don’t see what you do 🙂 I’ve seen a few colour pictures of Hartnell on a few of the First Doctor DVDs that really look quite similar to the clearest Hartnell image in the trailer, so I’m afraid I don’t see anything particular their either :(.

Cheers

Shazzbot, I’m sorry I don’t see any specific resemblance to Hartnell at all. I found a still image (lifted from the video I suppose) of the policeman via Google image search for Reg Cranfield (the original actor). here the difference in resemblance is much clearer to see.

It could well be Hurt in the trailer though, although…[Read more]

@ScaryB and @CraigNixon The spidery thing could be a dual reference to the racnoss as per the tagged images, and also the spiders in the Pertwee story, Plant of the Spiders, which was what first came to my mind. Likewise the soldier, which I took to be a U.N.I.T reference but is identified as something else, (temporary break in transmission) could…[Read more]

@ScaryB – I’m now wondering if Sara Jane’s reflection has been morphed with Susan’s. Because you’re right, it does have very much a look of Susan – but with hints of Sara Jane.

@Shazzbot @ScaryB @Phaseshift  🙂 xx

@ScaryB – Love the Yeti avatar

@Phaseshift Did you get tickets for the 50th after all?

@Craig A fishy pint it is!

Or indeed, one of those amazing cocktail recipes!  700 members – amazing!

@Shazzbot and @Phaseshift – yes, I thought it was obviously the young Elisabeth Sladen – from the Pertwee era, I thought, as she’s looking at the Pertwee Doctor sword fighting the Master.

Yes, she could well be there as the BG Companion who also became part of the AG Whoniverse – she links old and new, and is likely to be the one BG Companion…[Read more]

@ScaryB ‘The Moment’ is the term used in End of Time pt 2 to refer to whatever The Doctor uses to end the Time War. BTW, are you still be in London on the Saturday night, or will you be back up in Scotland?

@HTPBDET‘s idea is looking more and more likely; given that Rassillon in The End of Time was able to send a message back in time that…[Read more]

@ScaryB I think the boys will decide on the 3D as long as they get English jelly babies which I am told are far superior to the Aussie ones. I must admit that I rather like the idea of seeing Dr Who in a cinema and though I am not a fan of 3d I think it will have a very different feel which will be interesting and we can always watch it the…[Read more]

That dangerous/reckless curiosity (admittedly very useful as a plot driver) that you still see strongly in the AG Doctors. This Doctor is just as curious about the tomb as the expedition party, to the point that he doesn’t mind putting everyone in danger by giving little hints to Kleig and co (from the opening of the front door last w…

@ScaryB – I can see Bessie, The Golden Gate Bridge and what looks like the Dark Tower of Rassilon’s Tomb…

Anyone found any other obscurities?

Is Vastra’s seance/meeting the only time River’s been “out”?

@ScaryB, @Miapatrick Judging from the dialogue in that seance/meeting, it’s not. Vastra, Strax and Jenny all act as if they know River very well. River, likewise, acts as if she knows the rules of a psychic connection – only Clara should see/hear her in the waking world. Additionally,…[Read more]

@ScaryB– but I would suggest, even older. Think of what we know: That the library is, if not a fixed point in time, a fixed point for River and the Doctor, so he possibly needed to think, the second time he met her, that she had died for him.

We know that fixed points can’t be re-written- but they can be subverted. So long as the relevant people…[Read more]

@scaryB

Heh – I said it was worth sticking with didn’t I? With episode 6 it became one of those shows I anticipated watching, because if they could do that, while making Alisons actions believable and understandable, they could do pretty much anything. I was also delighted to see Matt Frewer turn up as well. I’d forgotten, after his very affab…[Read more]

@ScaryB

(Start with what you want the story to be and never mind that the truth might not quite fit)

Jumpergate is the classic – Davey was maybe a bit naive in following a leading question, but that is no excuse. “A story” not “the truth.” And yes, of course truth is multi-faceted, but whether the Davey household wears jumpers is not one of the…[Read more]

OooppsImitationa is the best form of flattery 😉

The mud todayis mainly on my boots, trousers and hands, if the rain comes as forecast  the mud will slowly envelope me till I resemble the creature from the black lagoon

@ScaryB

Hurt as Doctor Zero* means we’re at Valeyard stage already

Are you saying Matt is the Valeyard?! I confess to not seeing anything of the original Valeyard but that would be an interesting twist.

 And this:

you mean he’s Hurtnell…?!

Oi! Appalling puns are my territory.

It’s good to see the bonkers theories are still going strong and t…[Read more]

@ScaryB Thanks for the welcome 🙂

@bluesqueakpip Sorry to disappoint you but we have already seen the last day River and the Doctor spent together. It was in that Minisode ‘The last night’ as in contrast to the Minisode ‘The first night’ where he first picks her up from her prison (Stormcage?). As much as I would love to see that it is just not…[Read more]

Re: The Hurt Doctor

Could he be a younger version of the Hartnell Doctor?
