@steve-thorp – Nice – sort of summed up by the top comment: ‘LOL, tubas always sound like slightly more in-tune farting.’

@Shazzbot – I want to see those movies! Now!

Re Advertisers on the Graun site (and others) – they are charged per page view and additional for clicks. G ad sales team will present stats to show no of page-views when chasing ad sales.

Thanks for posting the link – response has been remarkably pro-DW  on the whole (only 1 “it’s a kids show” so far 😉 (and great responses form @WhoH…[Read more]

Honestly, I looked at that Winder article and just did a mental shrug. So pseuds corner it defies belief. I couldn’t even summon up the energy to take the piss.

The Pratchett article is interesting, and because the article doesn’t really explain its source, I will. When this site first launched in January I highlighted a b…[Read more]

One word actually: Wankery.

The G is turning into an advertisers whore.

(OK, so that’s more than one word)

@steve-thorp – He was – He joined the TARDIS so that he could teach the Dr to play the pipes!

@Shazzbot – A proper Flash Mob – they ‘melted away’ at the end…

I was unde the impression that the screenings would be a one-off to be “simulcast” (I hate that word) at the same time as the TV showing. I suppose it makes sense that the cinemas will re-screen it afterwards but I can’t imagine them doing it before!

Come to think of it, my brother works for a cineworld and normally gets…[Read more]

By “helping” unobtrusively I presume the Doctor (in his head) is still being “just an observer” – in true Time Lord tradition 🙂

The slow reveal of the cybermen – agreed, and it’s nearly the end of episode 2 (good call by @Steve-Thorp on last week’s cliffhanger) before we see them moving for real. (@Phaseshift Not only climbing down the ladders,…[Read more]

@steve-thorp

you mean he’s Hurtnell…?!

*gets coat and runs*

Could he be a younger version of the Hartnell Doctor?

@steve-thorp – apart from being older than Hartnell was when he played the Doctor, yes. They’re roughly the same height, same eye colour and don’t look too dissimilar.

That said, given the well known ability of the Time Lords to regenerate, I suspect the rule is that unless the new actor is…[Read more]

@steve-thorp I don’t think it does, but when the clocks change it will change with them (I think!). It isn’t exact anyway as the official time of broadcast has been set. I just guessed around 7:15pm.

@pedant I did consider that, and some of the links do have a:visited set to the same e.g. the names at the side and the latest boxes on the Home…[Read more]

@PhaseShift @Steve-Thorp @Bluesqueakpip @JimTheFish @Shazzbot @ScaryB

Is that everyone?

I’m thinking Tomb myself. It’s Troughton and it’s Cybermen… The original Cybermen!

And Victoria… I have a soft spot for her. 😀

If you don’t want spoilers then don’t watch below, but I quite liked this fan-made trailer.

It reminds me how, even with…[Read more]

A big thank you to @Craig and @PhaseShift for the informative posts.

I enjoyed this tremendously. In fact, I didn’t have the discipline and restraint that @steve-thorp demonstrated. I couldn’t stand the […]

I’m not sure “love interest”, but you can see Litefoot is absolutely gobsmacked by her. I loved the Doctor delivering a cunning backstory for her “Found in a hatbox floating down […]
