    @BadWulf Just upload the spreadsheet to the Excel Web App or Google Docs and then put a link here.

    @samsungthornby Nobody knows! The Doctor himself admitted as much in the Kill the Moon episode. This allows us to theorise that it was actually the Doctor that became the Face of Boe 😉

    No problem @ScaryB, I managed to gloss over the post when I saw Flatline mentioned.

    However, on re-reading @JimboMcMaster‘s post #33916 is a lot worse for spoilers.

    Hopefully a mod can sonic that one a bit too (@JimtheFish@Phaseshift, @FatManinaBox )

  • thommck replied to the topic Mummy on the Orient Express

    @ScaryB@JimboMcMaster, Would you mind not referring to ‘future’ episodes in the previous episode posts. It’s kinda like crossing your own timeline!

    I haven’t had a chance to see Flatline yet, so trying to avoid any mentions of it! 🙂

    Friendly Dalek teaches you to code

    The BBC has unveiled a computer game called The Doctor and the Dalek, as part of the Make it Digital initiative to get more young people into computer coding. It is voiced by Peter Capaldi and the story, starring a friendly Dalek, is written by Doctor Who series writer Phil Ford. A browser g…

  • I heard Professor Brian Cox on the radio this morning promoting his new show Human Universe on Tuesday nights on BBC2

    It’s already a couple of episodes in (viewable on iPlayer) but he was saying how the next episode talks about multi-verses.

    Could be interesting watching considering current theories…[Read more]

    @geoffers: the number of evil, twice over. they that bear the foretold stare have 66 seconds to live

    I thought Prof Moorhouse was referring to 666, twice over being 66. Doesn’t make much sense logically but the moon is an egg and all that 😉

  • thommck replied to the topic Mummy on the Orient Express

    Thanks for the info @Brewski.

    I only just realised that someone would have got a phone call at the end of the episode saying “I’m sorry to inform you sir/madam but it seems a passenger has blown up the Orient Express”

    I hope they had a good insurance policy!

    I was just watching the Doctor Who Extra for this episode and spotted one of the background posters on the train

    Some interesting place names to add to the evergrowing list in Doctor Who!

    I can’t find any of them relating to something we know about already and they are probably just the whim of a set designer but that shouldn’t stop us making…[Read more]

    @PhaseShift I’m excited about watching along with Curse of Fenric. That’s a title that seems to be mentioned quite often but I don’t have any recollection of it from my youth.

    That “film” version sounds really interesting. Do the DVDs have a habit of combining all of the older episodes in that way?

  • thommck replied to the topic On The Sofa (5)

    @tristanlorius I’m sure you have just gone and posted this on every forum you can find but your “idea” seems to be more of an “opinion” and not a very well informed one at that.

    I couldn’t resist multiple comments on the doc you attached but I fear you won’t pay any attention to other people’s opinions any way.

    We have a nice thread on here, Comp…[Read more]

    Not so mello after all, what a shame …

    Anyway, I have my bucket of exclamtion/question marks at the ready so hear we go.

    Despite the later showing we got to watch this one live! What a fun episode. We had the lights off and my 10y/o was clinging on to me from the start 🙂 It was almost Scooby Doo!

    @Bluesqueakpip

     An unplanned baby? No way! Any baby will be timed to maximise educational advantages

    Haha, that is very true! However, we may get the Doctor going off on his own, only to come back 2, 5 or 10 years later for the final episode where Clara has settled in to family life?

  • thommck replied to the topic Kill the Moon

    @Oblique, @Purofilion I almost fainted when I saw you both think

    Amy and Clara virtually indistinguishable-yes

    No! I have always felt Amy and Clara are complete polar opposites! Where Amy was brash and determined, Clara is thoughtful and cautious. I can remember people on here remarking how, when we first met Clara, she stayed put when the Doctor…[Read more]

    @nick1235 Is there an echo in here? 😉

    A lot of people have said how they thought the slo-mo shot was cheesey but in Time Heist the slo-mo shot seemed to be one of the highlights! I actually think the reverse of that. Go figure!?

    When the Doctor says “that was ages ago” I think what you deduced is exactly what you are meant to think. He’s doing…[Read more]

    I wonder if we’ll see anymore super powers from Danny?

    @brewski, shouldn’t you be posting this on the Kill The Moon thread?

    I feel some people are over-egging the gravity of the plot so firstly (along with those awful puns) I present the origin of the moon-egg 😉

    Haven’t seen Kill The Moon yet (hopefully tonight) so I’ll keep the conversation on here for now!

    I had a new(?) idea about Missy. I think we are focusing a lot on who she is rather than her motives. I think the Doctor may have trapped her in the Nethersphere. She is the only living being in the Promised Land which gives her a level of authority.…[Read more]

    @idiotsavon My old youth theatre director defined drama as

    The extraordinary happening to the ordinary

    Anything else is a documentary 😉

    I’ll probably watch it live and give my kids the edited highlights!
