@OsakaHatter, @thommck @Magnetite @Steve-Thorp – all avatars received safe and sound, thnx

@Whohar you are completely unpixilated now 🙂

@Miapatrick I’ve no idea what you did when you were uploading, but it’s great. (And agree with you re bonkersness award for @Shazzbot 😉 )

@Shazzbot – we could invent a new drinking game – and have a drink…[Read more]

@thommck

LOVE the barge 🙂

Perfect for exploring the backwaters of the universe, and watery portals!

@thommck – that YouTube clip has been taken down, but the official sneak peek for Day of The Doctor is now up at the BBC site.

@thommck and @scaryB – my favourite ‘Jesus’ cartoon is, sadly, not Doctor Who related. But here it is anyway –

@Thommck – HaHa (i’m sure there’s a flaw in the logic somewhere, but I’ll figure it out soon!!)

@Everyone, and @Bluesqueakpip and @Shazzbot in particular – A short break from bonkers theories (thanks for the kickstart @Blenkinsopthebrave – it’s all cooking on the 50th thread) –

Just come across this – it’s extracts from Michael Troughton’s…[Read more]

@thommck – is this a contribution to the upcoming ‘Doctor Who and Religion’ discussion, or are you trying to get me to explain the precise difference between ‘historical evidence’ and ‘fanfic’? 😈

Which, I promise, could be as bad as seeing @Phaseshift become … sarcastic.

(Such explanations tend to wander off happily into the byways of…[Read more]

@thommck – yeah, what I call the ‘mirroring’ is really noticeable in this episode. My bonkers theory of ‘they’re both the Doctor’ has been buggered up by events – so I suppose the question now is whether they’re related in some way?

Mother and son? Father and daughter? Brother and Sister? Grandparent and grandchild? Clone copies where one copy…[Read more]

@thommck – Got any more pumpkins up your sleeve?

@timeloop @thommck

I don’t have any figures yet for Aus booking numbers but it is being shown here at Village Cinemas. Only in 3D.
Prices are $25 (about GBP17) for an adult and $20 (about GBP13) for children. Plus a $1 surcharge per ticket if you book online, which I consider thievery.

@Thommck

Sorry to hear your local cinema seems to be cashing in. (Write and complain and see what they say). Like @Bluesqueakpip I booked with Cineworld – the site even interrupted the booking process to offer me a discount for signing up with them (for free). Glad to hear at least 2 of your family are enlightened! The other 2 will be kicking…[Read more]

The cheek is that they are charging a £2 premium on top of the normal 3D surcharges for something that will be being shown at the same time on TV for free!

@thommck – really? Are you sure?

When I booked for the 02 (also Cineworld), I got the normal Saturday night 3D price. Plus the normal ‘regular booker’ discount.

I’m not too worried about…[Read more]

@thommck @Nick @janetteB

Got some more information today. No exact time yet, but I will be able to see it in 3D for hefty 16 Euros. We will start a bit later because they show a trailer rail before the actual movie =.=” .

I also found out that the trailer we saw is supposed to be actual film material. I saw pictures of it with the title “first…[Read more]

@thommck

Very pertinent point. However, with the new(ish) digital based projectors I wonder if they can be streamed directly to via the web ?. If the BBC has to distribute multiple super quality DVDs (or whatever they use for the medium these days) then the logistic change will be an issue from a security point as well. I’d guess a day before…[Read more]

Just checked the nearest participating cinema to us and it has it down as screening at 4.00 pm and at 4.15 pm which is a little odd. It appears to be only screening on the 24th once or twice? Still I think you are right @thommck and the screenings will be a one off. Might well be a test of popularity though. If the screenings do well enough at the…[Read more]

As someone mentioned above – we don’t have the full story on this.  I can be as ARSEy as the best of em (see responses to @JimtheFish‘s blog rant) but I’m actually fairly sympathetic on the missing/(now found!!) stories. BBC’s iplayer couldn’t handle the demand and itunes is probably the biggest worldwide platform (and that’s from someone who’s…[Read more]

@thommck – copyright for a recorded dramatic performance rests with the actors, directors and writers who created the performance/script. If the contract doesn’t specify ‘rights in perpetuity’ (and every union going will tell you NOT to sign such a contract), then you have rights in that performance for as long as you live. Thereafter, your heirs…[Read more]

Final twitter digest for now – Ian Levine has promised to eat a pair of  Phil Morris (current episode finder)’s socks if he’s found over 100 epis, and Chris Chapman (DW doc director) has promised to eat a pair of Ian’s. So I’m guessing it’s less than 100!

For people interested in this sort of thing – inc @FatManInABox @Thommck

This is @DanMartinU…[Read more]

blimey @Thommck – that raised a smile as it reminds me of my old work!
cheers!
