@TheDentistofDavros

I will be extremely happy as long as we don’t get an entire series of Peter Capaldi talking to himself. However, this may be a minority view. 😈

@arbutus @thedentistofdavros @puroandson @ichobod When we were discussing Logolopolis on the music three it occurred to me I don’t have a very creative explanation for the Watcher.  I have a strange sort of unformed idea that it is a part of himself, but that seems almost too conventional.

What are the member’s of the Forum’s ideas and theories…[Read more]

@arbutus @thedentistofdavros @ichabod @puroandson Going back and watching the scene with the painting of Clara in Heaven Sent and then watching the scene in the courtyard in Logolopolis that switches back and forth to the White Watcher I would say both the courtyard itself in Heaven Sent and music in that moment are at least nods to Logolopolis a…[Read more]

@arbutus @thedentistofdavros I was also blown away by the soundtrack in Heaven Sent; it was incredibly moving.  For the last few weeks I have been using it for choreography in my classes.

Watching a lot of classic Who you get used to the music and rhythm.  The music from classic Who has a contemplative and “sciency” sound that has a late 70…[Read more]

@kharis  @TheDentistofDavros     Oh. I’ve just reread your post and you said “classical Who music”, not “classical music”.   Red face.  I don’t know about the other. I wouldn’t have thought so as my memory of the AG soundtracks is of a very different type of sound. But there was a lot buried in there, so who nose? Plus music is made up of repea…[Read more]

@kharis  @TheDentistofDavros     Definitely, there was Beethoven. I forget now exactly what it was as I haven’t seen it in awhile, but it was hugely affecting. I remember being stunned in general by the soundtrack of that episode, it was so unusual for DW and just gorgeous!

@arbutus @ichabod @puroandson @Whisht @pedant @thedentistofdavros

Was it just me, or was there a piece of classical Who music infused in Heaven Sent?

I forgot “the” above so my tag didn’t work. @thedentistofdavros

@thedentistofdavros I am sorry for not crediting you. It was late when I posted last night and I was being lazy not checking back through the posts.

I have now caught up with some of the Davidson stories and while he is certainly growing on me as the Doctor and the stories are enjoyable they are brought down in my estimation by the appalling…[Read more]

@thedentistofdavros

Aha! Someone else who didn’t like the film with Paul McGann. The only interesting bit, was seeing him regenerating into John Hurt.

Cheers,

Missy

@thedentistofdavros    Not many people like the Doctor Who movie so you needn’t be sorry. Paul McGann does have a short prequel to the Day of the Doctor that you can watch on youtube. I think it is called The Night of the Doctor. You might like him in that.He’s very good.

I am still contemplating my list of favourites. It is a difficult task.

@missy Great list, so thorough!

@thedentistofdavros is right, Doctor Who is so unique and wonderful that each list is so different from each fan.  For example I really enjoyed The Rings of Akhatan and Hide

@arbutus I like your classic Who list, and I also noticed my list included a lot of Moffat, including my favourite episode, Heaven Sent.…[Read more]

@TheDentistofDavros     As far as BG episodes go, it’s been a very long time for some of them and there are many that I remember very fondly. But for top favourites I would probably go with some from the Tom Baker era: Pyramids of Mars, The Seeds of Doom, City of Death.

@Missy     That’s a very detailed list! 🙂  I’m working my way through a fu…[Read more]

@thedentistofdavros

Here is my list. Explanation: The minus signs are for those epis I’m not so keen on. The double plus signs, are for those I love and the single plus signs, are for those I enjoyed. So, beginning with series 1. (2005) ++ The parting of the ways. + All the rest.
2. – Tooth and Claw//Love and Monsters. ++ School reunion/ Gir…[Read more]

@thedentistofdavros. Exactly! I agree, one of the things that make Doctor Who so unique and wonderful is how each person connects or enjoys different episodes.  Most shows have the obvious favorite character and episodes, but not Doctor Who.  Everyone in my family has a different Doctor they connect too.

Actually, one of the things I love about t…[Read more]

@thedentistofdavros

“Oh and you can never have too long a list!”

Just as well, mine is a looooong list.

Cheers until tomorrow.

Missy

@tardigrade I like that idea!  Ms Ward is still lovely as ever and that would be a wonderful surprise for the fans.  I like it better than my Time Lady regeneration into a ballerina, ha ha.  Plus,  I doubt Sarah Lamb would leave her position as lead dancer for the Royal Ballet for any role in reality.  Of course, if they insisted on a rege…[Read more]

@thedentistofdavros

They are indeed very kind and – in my case – patient.

I decided to not see the last six episodes of DW 9 until I got the DVD. Naturally I’m so far behind everyone it isn’t funny. Have seen all of them now and shan’t be going down that path in series 10.

Enjoy

Missy

@thedentistofdavros and @moondragon007

Hello there, lovely to meet you. Everyone here is a delight and very patient.

Cheers,

Missy

Welcome, @TheDentistOfDavros! I love your user name. If I had it to do over again, I would probably go with something like TheHarpsichordOfRassilon. (Actually, that’s pretty cool, except that I would never get any replies because it would be so much work to type!)

And welcome also to @Moondragon007. Yours is an interesting perspective. I have…[Read more]
