I thought it was a great part 1, although over far too quickly!

I didn’t really understand why Clata destroying TARDIS keys was a threat, surely he can just click his fingers?

My 13y/o […]

We’ve just spent a week in Thetford forest so this seemed like a very apt episode.

It really didn’t gel with me at all, for a number of reasons. I don’t think it was an awful episode, my kids seemed to like it well enough, I just didn’t really…[Read more]

I remembered how a line in the last episode made me think of how Donna wanted to save at least one family from […]

@mudlark good call on the outfit being Edwardian. Makes […]

Also, just had a thought that many have mentioned that we may get an […]

For some reason I have longed to see the Rani return since David Tennant first series. I don’t really know why as I’m not even […]

Also, I’m sure Clara called the TARDIS from her the Maitland’s home phone. She was only given a number from the WitS, which I always thought was just on a piece of paper

A few things on your theory

 I think Doctor/Clara are living in a pocket universe right now. The […]

Their is Clara-Prime. This is the original, natural, completely ordinary 21st Century Clara that the Doctor found in Bells of St John.

In Name of the Doctor Clara-Prime jumped into the Doctor’s time-scar and was split across his whole time line. On the…[Read more]

@PhileasF Nice picking up on Missy’s characteristics and actual words. I agree that there’s too little evidence to draw conclusions on what the […]

@fangirl-slowly, like @Spider said, I’m aware…[Read more]

@arbutus & all, my Missy blog is up now, enjoy

@Mudlark, I suppose the “window” behind Missy does look like the newer style Cyberman eyes. Perhaps she has been miniaturised into a cyberman (just like the Doctor in Into the Dalek)

@Ixion I noticed those numbers on the wall and also thought it was to show how the boneless…[Read more]

In the meantime, I’ll add a few of the juicy bits we get from her in this episode

Why do people think this episode proves she is a baddie? The “evil” laugh? I didn’t particularly get…[Read more]

I actually loved this episode, it seemed so bizarre from the get-go I thought it would be really cheesey but, despite all the comedy, it actually managed to be really scary and unnerving. Great work by the Director I guess. Not to mention the writer and…[Read more]

@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 😉

@Devilishrobby They said all 13 because they didn’t know…[Read more]

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 )

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…

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 😉

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!

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]

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

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]

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!

@Oblique: “Mummy on the Orient Express, the…

 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?

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]

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]

What’s wrong with scared, scared is a superpower

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

Here is some useful official BBC content that helps clear up a lot too

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]

The extraordinary happening to the ordinary

Anything else is a documentary 😉

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

It’s being broadcast on Channel 5 from mid-October so I’ll definitely be watching/recording it. Is it suitable for 10-13 year olds or more of a grown up affair?

I’m pleased to say that he did decide to join us back on the sofa for this weeks viewing and luckily it was to his liking 🙂

I have a feeling it may be due to new Action Man Danny

1) I am going to a party tomorrow night. Although it’s going to be really good fun and I am looking forward to it a lot I have a feeling that a Doctor Who screening isn’t on the agenda. Oh well, that’s what iPlayer is for.

2) Slightly more worrying is that my middle son (13th birthday next month) told me…[Read more]

It was then strengthened as a possibility when Clara said “So that’s who” when reading the “Time War” book in Journey to the Center of the Tardis and again in Day of the…[Read more]

Although I’m sure a lot of fans (me included) would like to get an appearance from her I don’t actually want her to become a regular companion. If it turns out she was a regenerated Courtney then it is a bit bizarre she goes to school still! Presumably she could find the Doctor if needed, she doesn’t…[Read more]

I’m downloading that ebook as we speak 😀 http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/760

Mind you, it would have been easier if he went back in time and stopped Karabraxos capturing the Teller in the first place! Mind you, that would probably have much wider consequences e.g. A bank owned by the Teller creatures with a fearsome Karabroxos…[Read more]

I present my wibbly-wobbly-agram (the Year dates were made up just for illustrative purposes)

So, was there a paradox and did the Doctor cross his own timeline?

I think we can say that the Doctor didn’t cross his timeline, all he did was leave clues for a future version of…[Read more]

@juniperfish, Listen didn’t prove there was a family link, it just implied that perhaps, Clara and…[Read more]
