On the subject of b/w Pertwee stories I know that there is no colour copy of Invasion of the Dinosaurs episode 1 and so they have released the DVD with both the b/w and a restored colour version of episode 1. Personally I would go for the b/w version as it suits the tone of the episode…[Read more]

Here’s the link to anyone interested in buying (beware though, only available in region 2) Enjoy!

I wouldn’t get your hopes up, this story has been told elsewhere on the Internet and was proved to be a load of rubbish (as everyone expected I’m sure), the guy who made it up even admitted that it was a wind-up. Still we can but dream…

Hello sounds like a big task, writing can be so hard sometimes and I’m not the best at it! I’ll try help but could you perhaps give us some more details on the characters and the world you’ve created to give us an idea of what kind of story you’re trying to create, just vague sketchy outlines of the characters would be…[Read more]

Don’t worry if I ever do happen to go back and get them I wouldn’t keep them for myself, I promise!

@janetteb

Sounds good, perhaps I’d visit the Egyptians and see the pyramids being built or go back to those foggy London streets of the Victorian era!

I too would visit the past first and then go out to space and see all those wonderful planets out there. I’m a bit fearful of the future so would probably avoid it anyway if I go back in time I could save all the missing Doctor Who episodes that were wiped!

I can back you up on this one, River was depressing but very good in my opinion. Skargard was excellent.

I had heard of the 2012 remake but I thought I’d prefer the original. I might get it once I’ve finished the original, not sure. Good to hear that you regard it highly.

Also, @mudlark @janetteb I’m a bit late but I thought I’d tell you that I’ve…[Read more]

@janetteb re-watching BG who sounds good! I’ve just recently made my brother and my dad watch…[Read more]

@pingpongpete1 Don’t worry I’m not fed up I’m still genuinely interested to see the photos such a pity it’s so complicated. Why not try adding them on to a post of yours on here, there’s a button that…[Read more]

Glad to hear your feeling better and back home, it was all down to the lollies!

I always held the belief that all people born on Gallifrey were known as Gallifreyans and once you get through the academy you become a Time Lord/Time Lady as you said above.

There is a fourth doctor story called the Invasion of Time (I haven’t watched it in a while so my memory may be a bit rusty!) which is set on Gallifrey where…[Read more]

@ichabod I hope you’ll make a full recovery soon as well, and I’m sure the itching will die down shortly.

@trillianwho Hello, I hope you enjoy it here…[Read more]

Green and red always remind me of Christmas, my favourite colour would be either yellow or blue.

I don’t think I could join you in the arts and arty chapter (I’m quite bad to put it mildly!)

On the DC vs Marvel thing, I’m not into superheroes that much but if I had to pick I’d be picking DC, mainly for Batman!

The Evil of the Daleks is definitely in my top five possibly even in my top three, it’s a fantastic story and one that was originally intended to kill off the Daleks forever (mad I know!)

The three human Daleks are actually I find quite creepy and Maxtible is one of my favourite characters from classic who. The one thing I don’t like…[Read more]

My favourite companion is Jamie from the second Doctor era because of the incredible chemistry he had with Troughton, he was also quite a funny character from an interesting background (highlands of Scotland during the battle of Culloden)

If we’re talking about the new series then I think Rory or Donna, not sure?

I’m just going to…[Read more]

Have you got any ideas of which classic episode you will watch first if not I’m sure all of us here can help with plenty of suggestions!

Smith and Capaldi are both excellent (well isn’t every Doctor!) Capaldi has bee my favourite of the new series so far. I thought I would miss Smith to much so I wouldn’t be able to like Capaldi at…[Read more]

Hello, nice to see another new face, my favourite Doctor (as you can probably tell by the profile pic) is the second doctor Sir Patrick of Troughton (he’s an absolute genius) and my favourite episode is The Power of the Daleks though a number of episodes come close!

What are your favourites?

Have you seen any of Troughton’s…[Read more]

I’m away just now so I had to record the series (I’ll let you know what I think of it once I’ve watched it though it might be quite sometime before I watch it all)

I’ve been looking forward to it as it seems like just the sort of programme I love, just hoping that Mark Gatiss will revive A Ghost Story For Christmas again soon.

I did indeed watch We’re Doomed and thoroughly enjoyed it! I do remember noting at the time the similarities between it and An Adventure in Space and Time though I think I enjoyed the latter more.

I highly recommend the film and I believe you won’t find it a disappointment but it isn’t as good as the old TV series.

I would love to see more of PM perhaps a spinoff with his Doctor would have been wiser than “Class” (which I’m not looking forward…[Read more]

On this forum it means “Before Gap” which means episodes before the show was cancelled. So basically any classic series stuff, new series episodes are known as AG episodes “After Gap”

This makes me think though, seen as there were two gaps 1989-1996 and 1996-2005 what does the Paul McGann movie classify as BG or AG, I would say…[Read more]

The thing I love about this episode and this story is…[Read more]

I’m not sure what Northern Ireland are doing seen as there was a majority vote to remain, maybe action will be taken there?

Here’s another song I heard not long ago and personally I just think it’s bewildering! No idea if anyone’s into this kind of stuff, I’m not anyway but thought it was interesting so…[Read more]

@puroandson I will look forward to your birthday, please remind me when it does reach your birthday (I’m rubbish at remembering dates!) and what else could you want for your birthday when you have all of us giving you songs!

@whisht Even if you deny it I would still pick you on my quiz team, I bet you’d be good at…[Read more]

Ah yes Rita! It took me a while to think of who the character was but now I remember, I haven’t watched the god complex for a couple of years now but I do know who you’re talking about. I suppose they wouldn’t have really needed her as you said because of the strengths for chemistry between the main characters at the time…[Read more]

It got me thinking about other characters who would have made good companions, of the top of my head I think frank Skinner would’ve made a good partnership…[Read more]

I’ve never really had a taste in music which is a shame I just know that I don’t like much of that pop nonsense nowadays (doesn’t mean I don’t like change!) especially the bloody beaver (good name). I suppose I like old rock songs and yeah guitars are probably my favourite instrument. Most songs I hear now though are electronic which…[Read more]

I was referring to 80s Doctor Who mainly and yeah I think the 80s were great as well! Better than bloody beaver anyway!

May I compliment you on your great knowledge of music, especially for people our age you have very impressive music knowledge, do you happen to play anything?

I’m not blessed with musical talent myself and possess…[Read more]

Oi! The 80’s weren’t that bad!
They were just bad most of the time!

Hello! Nice to see some new members around these parts. My story is pretty much the same as yours, I first got a glimpse of doctor who when watching the last five minutes of The Age of Steel after that I saw the series 2 finale on DVD at Woolworth’s and my dad was saying that he remembered the Daleks back when he was a child so I asked…[Read more]

I started watching Doctor Who at the start of series 3 (I had seen the series 2 finale though) and I actually can’t remember what I thought of this episode at the time. I remember the dalek episodes because Daleks were the coolest things on the planet and I remember being very scared of both The Lazarus Experiment and…[Read more]

Yes it’s a shame he invested so much in the role of Sherlock that it did kill him, but it was a very good performance and one he would be proud of!

@puroandson

It’s great to see so many people watching and reading the works of M R James, I thought I was the only person in the world who was even slightly interested in his ghost…[Read more]

I think there may have been a case of mistaken identity! Were you meaning @thedentistofdavros or @theconsultingdoctor when you replied to my post about the lack of teaching on the jobs front, if so then I’m glad to hear that your school does so much to inform it’s pupils of life after school, our school does the bare minimum…[Read more]

I have not seen it! Might check it out now though!

Jeremy Brett was the actor who played Sherlock Holmes for a long time wasn’t he? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Thanks for the recommendation though!

Crooked house is well worth the money!
