Let us not forget Arlo Guthrie’s Alice’s Restaurant

I should have typed William McBride, not Jimmy

Be careful of believing the Telegraph.

Just after Apil fools day, they ran a story where they claimed that the National Trust had banished mentioning Easter in the publicity for its Easter events, and also managed to get Teresa May and the Archbishop of York to make comments on the bogus story. When I checked on the National Trust’s…[Read more]

On the Wikipedia Julian and Sandy page

It says “The fiftieth <i>Doctor Who Virgin New Adventures</i> novel <i>Happy Endings</i> by Paul Cornell features a Polari-speaking Silurian musical duo from the 30th century called Jacquilian and Sanki.”

I don’t know if they are male or female.

PS

If there is anybody out there whose physics is more up to date than mine, how does time dilation due to gravity combine with any tidal effects?

Could Bill’s emotional feeling (and  the ability to feel pain) cause a developement in cybernation where the cybermen become more empathic with people that they try and upgrade?

However, fully-converted Bill was crying her eyes out.

Also note Nardole’s digs about The Doctor not showing emotions.

I also wonder whether The Doctor will have the stronger bond wuth Missy or The Master.

The english teacher not recognising a quote from Shakespeare.

The little white dot at the finish (for any younger people. this is what the broadcast picture defaulted to at the end of the day’s programmes, after the epilogue.) – it might have been through this dot that the “infection” was broadcast,if it wasn’t through the…[Read more]

Oops

I should of realised this

Obviously, my brain tumour and it’s subsequent removal are still having some consequences.

One last daft thought:

truth and consequenes = T&C = terms and conditions.

The original song,  I believe was written by an ex-captain of a slave ship.

If zygons take on human form, they will surely be able to mate and reproduce with humans.

What will be the status of their offspring?

Bonkers Theory:

Could the hybrid offspring of humans and zygons (with the ability of the zygons to take on the form of other life forms evolving into regeneration) be…[Read more]

Could “no dogs” (re-inforced by the sound of barking) be an indication that some of the Zygons have taken on the form of dogs (as in dogs are a man’s best friend)?

I don’t think that we have mentioned Natalie Bnnett, leader of the Greens yet. Sureely she must be a Silurian. Ed Milliband could be a Cyberman.

Surely, lookin at the waxen faces of Cameron-Clegg, th Autons hav lredy taken ovr te government,

Also, I am not sure that Monsieur Farage looks human.

Someone has already posted a comment on the Grauniad website saying , “Doctor Who looks like it will be shit. Moffat must go.” Is this a record?

It’s not “talking to yourself”,

it’s “Thinking aloud”!

I wondered if he was trying to calculate a way to send the dynosaur back to her own time.

but the race thing, i don’t think that would affect me, if he changed race. perhaps many other fans would be outraged, but as long as the actor is right (as you say)… and british! the doctor should always have an accent, from somewhere in the isles…

This comment of yours made me think of Lenny Henry , and I found this on YouTube…[Read more]

As there doesn’t seem to be a blog for “The Last Day”……

Was that Christopher Eccleston doing the voice over, or just someone with a very similar accent?

Cheers to HTPBDET & to everyone.

Tomorrow’s the AGM of Friends of DalesBus (aka The Yorkshire Dales Public Transport Users’ Group”), then, in the evening, I will be visiting a nearby cinema to see “The…[Read more]

It’s of its time, but none the worse for that.

However, I was waiting for two of the flint axes to strike each other and create some sparks!!

At least there weren’t any dinosaurs!

BTW I don’t think that Ian’s attempt at rubbing two Boy Scouts (sorry, sticks) together looked very convincing.

I couldn’t agree with you more.

An excellent tribute to William Hartnell. It nearly had me in tears!

“…… can there be backward echoes of future events?”

I reckon that this is inevitable if backwards time travel is possible.

using the informal version of my real name, I am The Doctor.

As I can’t attend the annual 50th anniversary Doctor Who booze-up, I have forwarded a higher res. image of my avatar to @Craig for forwarding onwards. I hope that it doesn’t put anyone off their beer etc.

Have a good do.

Steve

BTW Is the collective noun for bonkers theories a FishPond?

“Also agree that faux-offence is getting more and more common.”

Mary Whitehouse has a lot to answer for! 😉

Thanks, and keep up the good contributions.

I still remember (on another place) a certain Truculent Sheep (formerly known as Alexander) who, when he was criticised, tried to provoke contributors into making inappropriate comments to try and get them banned from the Guardian comments site.

Cheers

I am afraid that I must admit ignorance on Martin Mull, although, looking at his CV on Wiki, I must have seen him on the telly.

I remembered the record from it being played on the radio years ago, and did a Google search.

Lovely use of psychology by the Doctor, and also his hand signals to Jamie.

I hope that the Doctor is never made infallible in future stories. There is always the the fun of working out what is going to go wrong.

“When I say, ‘run’, RUN!”

Definitely BONKERS!!!!!!!!!! (or should that be blinkers?)

This YouTube clip of the Battlefield Band contains, on the second track, one of my favourite Highland Pipe tunes, “The Clumsy Lover” (played twice). Unfortunately, I haven’t, so far, got round to […]

I must correct you.

Bagpipes are hot

Are the Highland Pipes the ultimate weapon of sonic technology?

This Wiki article on an ultrasound weapon maybe of interest.

PS If any security services are monitoring this post, I would like to make it clear that this is a hypothetical discussion […]

At least Victoria’s screaming had a positive effect for her as it startled Kaftan.

As my hearing is a bit lacking in the high-frequency range these days, I had trouble hearing a lot of the Cybermen’s dialogue. I nearly switched the subtitles on. (I later found out that there weren’t any.)

I would like to…[Read more]
