My sentiments exactly. I’d want to see if He…[Read more]

@thedentistofdavros

if I go back in time I could save all the missing Doctor Who episodes that were wiped!

What an excellent suggestion. I have often wished I could do that.

I would like to go back to Saxon England, just to see how people really lived then maybe check in on early Medieval france, take a peek at Dinosaurs from the safety of the…[Read more]

@missy  @thedentistofdavros  Still watching, actually, 5th episode today, I think.  I’m not expecting any singing and dancing, but the story is, as Dentist says, very good and very well done.

Then, as recommended, I’ll watch some DW, and start smiling again.

Survivors

Some of us are old enough to have seen it first time round! Definitely worth watching.

There is a 2012-ish remake with Frema Agyeman in the first ep – but after that I bailed out for reasons that I won’t spoil (because I know not everyone agreed).

@thedentistofdavros Diagon Alley  (I was too lazy to check the spelling before hence my omitting the name. 🙂

@puroandson  Yes.  Teachers at the boys school have been hauled over the coals for showing M rated films to the kids. What you are describing is far worse. R.1 did Legal Studies in yr 12. Unfortunately what should have been an engaging intro to law was so boring it must have been designed to put kids off. Given that he was only doing the subject b…[Read more]

Welcome @trillianwho — that is a pretty neat theory, that the Doctor literally can’t say his name for some reason.

@thedentistofdavros — The people mentioned in “The Invasion of Time” are called Shobogans — apparently regarded as hoodlums by the Time Lords.  I agree that with what we’ve been given in the televised canon over the years, it w…[Read more]

@ichabod @missy @thedentistofdavros @whisht @janetteb (I hope I’m not forgetting someone)

Thank you all so much for your welcome! It’s a long wait for the new episodes, I kind of wish I hadn’t been hooked with the series until later in the year, but I think time will pass swiftly with you guys!

I absolutely adore Douglas Adams – althou…[Read more]

@thedentistofdavros

Really? You find Alpha, Beta, and Omega creepy? Honestly, I just can’t help but giggle when I hear them, for the aforementioned drunk and helium reasons.

“DIZZY- DIZZY- DIZZY- DOCTOR!”

@thedentistofdavros  Cool Donna is my favourite companion

@puroandson @thedentistofdavros @missy @1997whovian @Theconsultingdoctor

I took the quiz too! I got Cerulean, and then I took it again and got Arcal.

I also took the Sparta quiz, because it looked fun. I also got old age, which apparently has all the sane answers!

Slightly off topic, but there’s no thread for it. I checked. Also, SPOILERS.…[Read more]

@thedentistofdavros   I would probabaly just start collecting the dvds and start from the beginning i imagine. I thought that too about capaldi. What about fave companion?

@thedentistofdavros cool and i have not seen any classic episode yet but i plan too. My fave doctor is a joint 1st with smith and capaldi. fave episode is Dinosaurs on a spaceship.

@thedentistofdavros I have yet to see it but is on my wish list. I loved Dad’s Army when I was a kid and naturally introduced it to my sons when they were growing up. Have you seen the TV Drama about the making of it, We’re Doomed the Dads’ Army Story? I suspect it was inspired by An Adventure in Time and Space. It was also very well done. I feel…[Read more]

@TheDentistOfDavros

what does the Paul McGann movie classify as BG or AG

It classifies as The Movie We Do Not Mention. 😀

Not Paul’s fault, of course. He gave a good performance in a rather dire script, and has since done great Eighth Doctor work for the Big Finish Audio series. But the Gap is 1989 to 2005, and I’d personally classify Paul…[Read more]

hmmmm….. @thedentistofdavros and @blenkinsopthebrave

For some reason this collection of companions makes me think of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Maybe a spinoff show with a number of ex-Companions who team up and…. fight crime solve mysteries?

@Whisht   I’m sure lots of us have a story at least a bit like that. Back in the day, we all heard at least one great “new” song that was actually thirty years old or whatever. In fact, it still happens. A couple of years ago, my son was very keen on this song. He didn’t believe us when we told him that it was using a theme from something 30+ y…[Read more]

@TheDentistOfDavros       Oh, no, not encyclopedic at all! I have been introduced to so much great music on here that I had never heard before. And the really humbling bit is when six other people come on and say things like “Oh, classic!” and “Great memories!” and I’m going, “Well, all right, then. I guess everyone’s heard this band except me!” …[Read more]

Oh no – @thedentistofdavros and @everyoneelse

I really know very little about music. I’d honestly love it if I did.
And though I could sorely do with my ego being stroked, I’d truly hate it if people didn’t post to the music thread because they thought of it as the muso thread.

so, as an admission of “I know nuffin…..”

@TheDentistOfDavros

How about Amara Karan, who played Rita in The God Complex? Not necessarily better than Amy and Rory, but I think she would have made a good companion in her own right.
