@ScaryB: Yes, you’re absolutely right that Colin can’t be blamed for what was out in front of him, but he all too often played a bad script straight. Tom Baker was so brilliant in no small part because he could […]

@ScaryB – well, frankly, it’s always a bit of a broad assumption with Wikipedia. 🙂

But it does happen a lot with actors who are actually native to the area they’re supposed to be from; most recently with […]

@ScaryB

Broadchurch is just divine. I have just finished it myself.

Therapy you know….very recuperative.

Cheers

I’m still wondering if they’ll pull a sneaky and Hurt really IS the next Dr, even just for series 8.

@ScaryB – now for that, I’d even push forward my cherished dream of a woman Doctor to the next regeneration […]

@htpbdet , @scaryb

I am happy to concede. My only question is what makes the people who control the content on the BBC different from other “suits”? Could you send me a link that explicates the difference in […]

@FishComBomBulated

@ScaryB is right.

The BBC is a unique institution. Its funding is completely separate from its editorial charter. They are given the money and can spend it as they choose.

There are […]

@scaryb

I understand what you mean; however: How is it protected? What crucial difference? From everything I’ve read, the TV tax you have to pay in Britain is just that: a tax for a bureaucratic government that […]

@ScaryB Thanks.

I haven’t actually implemented the “you can only PM a friend” fix yet, so you can still PM anyone. I think I’m going to get rid of the friends thing (and updates), so am looking for another way […]

@ScaryB

It was a minor skirmish, by the Doctor’s blood-soaked standards. Not exactly the Time War, but enough to finish him. In the end, it was too much for the old man.

It is ambiguous – as ever with […]

ah @ScaryB and @HTPBDET – I think this is the thing I’m trying to get at (really really sorry I’m not being clear – memo to self: stop being tired! 🙂 )

The scar itself is at least one of the things that the […]

@ScaryB

Really?

It just seemed to me that the Doctor was taking control of his mind – he didn’t want the Cybercontroller anywhere in his mind except where he was prepared to allow him.

I never thought it […]

@ScaryB   @Shazzbot

Tennant being there is no issue in this timey-wimey world.

It was never a consideration in any of Three, Five or Two Doctors.

I have always regarded it as an anomaly: the event happens […]

@scaryB I guess that’s the fun in guessing.

I am also with you on the fact that Clara’s full story hasn’t been exposed yet. There could be any number of reasons for this and I think the main one is the […]

ah but @ScaryB – Smith is now in his scar, so can visit 10 and Rose (in a sort of scar-as-convoluted-tube-network of places he’s visited).
Smith can get off at any time (just as Clara can/ did) – he hasn’t met […]

@ScaryB    Doctor 2.5? You mean between Troughton regenerating and Pertwee landing on Earth?

@ScaryB,

Yeah, but I’m marrier with kids now, so my self control issues have been (mostly) tamed compared to the old days. So it has to come out one way or another.

Test subject accepted, Email Spam […]

@ScaryB

Hi. I’m not too sure about what the friendship funxtion actually does in all honesty, but you don’t need to be friends to send a PM (you contacted me once yourself ages ago on another issue, if you […]

@ScaryB– I’m 34! dropped out of university after one year, way back. But since I’ve spent the last few years not working because I’m a carer, and since the OU doesn’t involve living with a bunch of students (was […]

@ScaryB– thank you! I honestly think the hardest part of an exam is reading the questions properly. Once that’s done, the rest should fall into place.

I can imagine that with Spanish and Italian ;).

@Phaseshift @Bluesqueakpip @ScaryB @JanetteB @Whisht (and everyone else)

I’ve added topics for “Talons” and “The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances”, both linked to on the home page. I’ve embedded YouTube links to […]
