    I hate this latest plan of a FOURTEEN MONTH GAP until the next Doctor Who episode! I wonder if the World might end or I might die before then. I hope other people on here understand how I feel.

    Also, I don’t think Russell T Davies should be allowed to write the Christmas Special for 2026, because he’s made enough mess already! His writing was…[Read more]

    BBC Executive1: “How can we make the fans accept yet another gap in Doctor Who?”

    BBC Executive2: “Let’s spread a rumour that it’s dead and buried. We’ll let them believe this for about five months, then they’ll be grateful for ANYTHING!”

    BBC Executive1: “BRILLIANT!”

    BAD NEWS! Another gap for Doctor Who. I know some people will think it’s good, though. https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/doctor-who-future-confirmed-bbc-disney-newsupdate/

    I think we can safely assume now that this “decision” on some unknown date in 2026 will include details that there will be no new series of Doctor Who in 2026, because there won’t be “enough time” to produce a series with all the special effects they claim are required!

    All Doctor Who fans living in the UK should contact the BBC immediately…[Read more]

    The Mandela Effect in Doctor Who! This is where some people remember history totally differently, such as that Nelson Mandela died in prison instead of years after being released and serving as President of South Africa. This is supposed to mean that they’re originally from a parallel universe. My memory is amazing. I’ve just been watching some…[Read more]

    I’m disgusted with the BBC! This latest comment makes no real difference. As for “The War Between The Land and The Sea”, even that has been delayed now. When I first heard of it, I thought that five episode series was why Doctor Who had been cut from 13 down to 8 episodes per series. I’m so sick and tired of hearing about it now that I think the…[Read more]

    The BBC have finally made a statement about Doctor Who! Unfortunately, I don’t know what it means. Can anyone translate?

    I think the BBC should be forced to give a licence to anyone wanting to produce a new series of Doctor Who, as it looks like they want to kill it off. The licence should be free so that the group producing the new series can have more money to produce it.

    I also think the TV licensing law should be updated to apply only to people…[Read more]

    @dentarthurdent

    The Doctor is wearing a kilt, as he has done many times before. It has tartan, but a kilt doesn’t even have to have tartan on it to be a kilt. It’s a kilt because it wraps around itself and is fastened with a few straps, as well as having small pleats near the straps. As for the Doctor or anyone else wearing skirts, why not?

    I…[Read more]

    It’s looking more and more likely now that the BBC think they can cancel Doctor Who forever, or at least indefinitely! They also think that Doctor Who fans will sit back and take any old SH**!

    I say enough is enough and it’s time for some Doctor Who riots soon! Close down CBeebies as well, to prevent the travesty of a Doctor Who animated series…[Read more]

    I’ve seen Danger Man, but I don’t remember the dialogue in various languages.

    I don’t think I’ll bother to watch any more Bond films.

    My native language is English.

    I’ve seen various episodes of Star Trek: DS9 and Star Trek: VOY in German first of all on the channel SAT.1, because at the time that was the easiest way for me to…[Read more]

    I meant that James Bond’s friends and allies spoke English as their native language, but could have been from anywhere, such as the USA, Canada, or Australia. There were only 14 Bond books written by Ian Fleming, but I’m not sure how many stories there were. Two of the books were published after his death in 1964.  Only two or 3…[Read more]

    There’s a good reason I’m called TranslatorCircuit! I’m multilingual. I’m typing this on a German layout keyboard. Not only that, but apart from sci fi, most of my TV viewing is in German and French. James Bond is totally unrealistic British nationalist isolationist crap! In spite of all the defence cuts, James Bond is equipped to do absolutely…[Read more]

    @janetteb

    I’m afraid people aren’t saying you shouldn’t watch Star Trek TOS, or early James Bond films, so that’s not fair! I think the only difference is that the first two Doctors’ eras were made in B&W. In that case, what’s needed is more colourisations, but without editing out parts of the story, which was done with “The Daleks” or discarding…[Read more]

    Doctor Who wouldn’t even exist without the First Doctor and wouldn’t have continued for so long without the Second Doctor and regeneration. I suppose the BBC could have replaced William Hartnell with a lookalike, followed by another lookalike, ad infinitum, but they would have had to be good actors as well.…[Read more]

    @dentarthurdent

    Your lack of knowledge of classic Who is disgusting! You need a viewing plan of various really important episodes to watch for your homework. I think you should start with “An Unearthly Child”, “The Daleks”, “The Dalek Invasion of Earth”, and “The Web Planet”. After that, watch “The Chase” and “The Time Meddler”. These are all…[Read more]

  • TranslatorCircuit replied to the topic The Well

    Apart from being a sequel to the crappy “Midnight”, I think “The Well” where only one member of a crew survives is copying a Star Trek: TNG episode, as well as a Star Trek: ENT episode.

    “Planet of The Spiders” was a brilliant story! Criticising the spiders themselves is just a criticism of special effects. I’m also happy that the Master has continued since that era. Being able to knock something together in a rush is also what’s needed NOW, instead of pretending it’s too late, so no Christmas Special and no new…[Read more]

  • TranslatorCircuit replied to the topic The Well

    I thought I’d commented on this episode before, but I see I haven’t, so I will do now!

    I think that Midnight is one of the worst Doctor Who stories ever, and this was almost as bad! It’s all based around the idea of looking behind someone at something almost invisible, but not quite. This was done before in “Planet of The Spiders” as well as…[Read more]

    I think that people need to have a good knowledge of classic Who to understand everything about NuWho but don’t have to watch all the stories. There are a few stories even I haven’t seen, such as “The Smugglers”, “The Savages” and “The Myth Makers”. I plan to watch these soon to find out what I’ve missed, though. I think t…[Read more]
