    @JimTheFish @ScaryB @HTPBDET

    Thinking about the Susan problem you allude to (I as she developed as a character post Daleks) did they loose sight of the character they originally created (an incompletely […]

    Is it? Or did that dissapear with the Angels when he jumped off the building at Winter Quay, creating the paradox.

    Unlikely – the ‘fixed point’ appears to be that he has to die in a […]

    I think some of those, ahem, fronts are part of the costume rather than being real or surgically enhanced. It’s quite an easy trick to pull off if the costume also has a neck […]

    @HTPBDET, @ScaryB — I might be coming across as a naysayer with regards to the Dalek Invasion of Earth, so I’ll be clear: it’s wonderful. And unique. There’s something uniquely frightening in the fact that the […]

    @HTPBDET, @JimTheFish, @ScaryB, @JanetteB —

    So far as Troughton goes, I’d favour The Mind Robber or Tomb as the best fully extant stories. I personally prefer Mind Robber, but I think Tomb would perhaps be a […]

    Well I applied for 4 tickets in case they run out and anyone here needs some. Now I’ve pondered about it a bit more I think I might fancy a bit of dressing up ๐Ÿ™‚
    Any simple suggested double […]

    @Phaseshift @janetteB @ScaryB

    I am happy for @Phaseshift to decide. I don’t know a Troughton story I can’t defend… ๐Ÿ™‚

    I owe @JimTheFish a rambling about In Defence of Krotons and hope to get to that […]

  • @ScaryB

    Thanks – and you may be right. I may be biased. ๐Ÿ™‚

    But you are definitely right here:

    In many ways Troughton had the toughest job of all โ€“ if he hadnโ€™t managed to โ€œsellโ€ the whole concept of […]

    I was chanelling SM…and so changed the rules… ๐Ÿ™‚

    I personally don’t see the introduction of companions’ familes as defining for Doctor Who although obviously it is defining for RTD’s era.

    If […]

    @Miapatrick Ha ha, but cheap is all I drink, that’s how I know what it costs (down my offie anyway)!

    @ScaryB do you think this might entice @Juniperfish back. I always thought her colours were wrong…

  • PhaseShift replied to the topic The Faces of the Doctor

    @nick @scaryB

    Yes โ€“ Iโ€™ve always thought it was better to have one topic which may stop and start on occasion than what would be seven topics which would probably never restart. People can back and forth in […]

  • Craig replied to the topic On the Sofa (part 2)

    From a quick search Ghost Light is certainly possible, as is Androzani. I’m happy with either choice but, like @ScaryB , I don’t think I’ve seen Ghost Light so am kinda more leaning towards it. I’d started […]

    Talking of Daleks, Spike Milligan wrote several sketches with them in his Q series. I found this on youtube, but I remember seeing older (and funnier) clips as well.

    No its complete although I think they did a few things to reconstruct it completely from various sources they had. The Dalek Invasion of Earth is the only other pre-Pertwee Dalek story that is.

    @ScaryB @JimTheFish

    It might be rather amusing to watch the Daleks (if you can stand black & white) given than JimTheFish is busy reimagining it.

    @JimTheFish @ScaryB

    I think that you could argue that the history of the Thals as written by Terry Nation was more sophisticated than it originally appeared, although how much of this back storyย he created at […]

  • Craig replied to the topic On the Sofa (part 2)

    @ScaryB I’m trying. Maybe this one will be the one? I’ve been loving @Wolfweed ‘s posts. Thanks Wolfweed for all the hard work (loved the Royal baby pic too – brilliant). Watched every single panel (I’m still a […]

    @ScaryB I watched it earlier and laughed a lot. Thanks so much for that. Seeing Clint Eastwood’s dad and his chunky mate prancing around was awesome. And I’m sorry, sometimes I can’t help myself.

    I want to make […]

    @Blenkinsopthebrave and @ScaryB – this is speculation, not spoilers. When I was checking out the convention appearances of the ‘older’ Doctors for availability during filming dates, Paul McGann wasn’t attending […]

    @ScaryB – and BBC Worldwide are now going ‘B*gg*r! We should have booked the Excel for a week!’
