Silver Blaze was definitely one of the best stories from the memoirs collection along with the crooked man and the final problem for me!

As for ACD’s best short stories it has to go to almost anything from The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The six napoleons is brilliant for me!

I watched the abominable bride with my…[Read more]

I too thought that the storylines and episodes were better in series 9 than they were in series 8! But I just thought the different dynamic between him and Clara was more interesting in series 8! Of course I still loved his portrayal in series 9 but just thought it was more unpredictable in his first series!

Hello everyone!

I think we may all have noticed a slight change from Peter Capaldi’s portrayal of the doctor between his debut series and series 9. Just thought we could have a discussion on whether or not you like the more funnier and light-hearted doctor from series 9 or if you preferred the darker and more serious version in series 8! They…[Read more]

@craig

I have never actually received or sent any messages ,other than those that are causing all this trouble, so I would not mind if you shut it down for a bit. I understand some people find this very useful but I don’t think it would hurt to much if you disabled it for a wee bit. Just my opinion but it’s really up to you!

@stitchintime

It is a good story and well worth a rewatch (remembrance of the Daleks)

I haven’t taken big finish into account but I’m sure someone else could advise us if there’s anything to add!

@mudlark

Lost Hearts did probably have the most striking imagery in the whole series of the two children with there hearts pumping in there chests and it all being visible to us!

Mark Gatiss I think did a great job of reviving the series and I hope he does more which I think he will if he gets the time because I know that he’s a big fan of…[Read more]

@dalektor

Oh yes the new series Daleks are definitely little angry blobs because in the classic series there was a civil war between renegade Daleks vs Davros and the Imperial Daleks which ended up wiping out all the Daleks after that Davros must have reinvented them (or something!)

@missy

The Treasure of Abbot Thomas is one of the best I’ve seen and read of his and to go with your CD collection I strongly recommend you find the BFI release called A Ghost Story For Christmas which was an annual series of ghost stories adapted for television by the BBC (also includes The Signalman by Charles Dickens!) they really are very…[Read more]

@bluesqueakpip

The Dalek Invasion of Earth was one of the first William Hartnell stories I saw though i can’t remember for sure?

If there was a competition for the most iconic episodes of dr who of all time this one has to be up there, there’s just so many great moments from the dalek in the Thames to Westminster bridge and then topped of by…[Read more]

@mersey

Yeah I know what you mean and I too felt that there was something about her which just seemed likeable and ordinary (if anyone can be ordinary!)

@bluesqueakpip

That’s good to hear!

The back story to a new companion is always (I think!) critical and as @theconsultingdoctor said I shall withhold my judgement until we get to know more about her!

@missy

I thought I’d bring the conversation over to the sofa!

I was talking about my classic doctor who collection but I have also been getting some other classic tv series such as Patrick McGoohan’s The Prisoner which I haven’t finished watching yet as well as the bbc’s classic adaptations of M R James’ Ghost Stories! Also watched a few old…[Read more]

@nerys

Yes she does look fun and definitely up for it!

@craig

I too watched some football to see this! The things we do for Doctor Who!

@mersey

I’m not so keen on the regular modern day companion as it has been done so often but I don’t mind of course! Early signs are that she’s going to be very different to Clara and maybe not to far from Donna Noble? Sounds good to me anyway! Can’t wait now for…[Read more]

@missy

I know I really should get the box set but for the past few years I’ve been trying to complete my classic series collection (not many left to get) and I’ve actually been neglecting the new series box sets in fact the last one I got was series 6 but I have recorded series 7 and bought the Day of the Doctor (obviously). What puts me off…[Read more]

@missy I think I shall rewatch it but I’ll have to wait until I can get the series 9 box set as I recorded Heaven Sent and yet didn’t record Hell Bent!

Yes we all have individual tastes and different favourites and even our own tastes and favourites can change!

@d-i-yana hello nice to see another new face!

Series 9 is definitely high up on my list (new series only that is!) though I’m not sure it can beat Series 5 and is probably joint with Series 8 for me!

As for Hell Bent I’m sorry to say that I found it rather a disappointment following on from the perfect Heaven Sent but then I’ve rewatched Heaven…[Read more]

@kharis @bluesqueakpip @missy
I do agree with @kharis that Class doesn’t really appeal to me and that there could have been better options but I’m not going to not give it a chance and I shall wait and see if it surprises me as I have often been surprised by other programmes!

I am still glad that they are at least trying to get more teens…[Read more]

@kbranagh

Anyone who doesn’t want to know which companions have died I suggest you look away now! Hello the ones I can think off are Katarina and Sara Kingdom (first doctor companions). Adric (fifth doctor) and Kamelion (a robot and companion of fifth) all died on the classic series as far as I know!

@missy That’s fantastic news! I can hardly wait already! I believe it will actually go on tv on New Year’s Day 2017

I might just rewatch some episodes now!
