    @VashtaNerada I don’t think many older fans objected to McGann. It was generally thought that he was fine it was just the movie that was rubbish. A very quick response to your question is that in the early nineties the BBC axed Dr Who. Several years later they sold rights to a Canadian(or U.S.) company who made the film as a pilot for a TV series.…[Read more]

    @VashtaNerada @midnyt

    Hi – we had a bit of a discussion last year about how to discuss the Eighth Doctor movie. As it wasn’t episodic, we decided to confine the discussion to the Faces of the Doctor thread where we were trying to do “a Doctor a month”.

    You can find the discussion starting here, with some observations on the Movie. I’d say add…[Read more]

    @VashtaNerada Many thanks. Funnily enough, I was thinking my finger now looks a bit like you.

    Perhaps we could have a “What Doctor Who monster looks most like Craig’s finger?” competition (for no prizes of course)

    Hi @Wolfweed @Bluesqueakpip @Arbutus @Barnable @tennantlove9090 @VashtaNerada @PhaseShift @FatManInABox @Rob @JanetteB @Whisht @ScaryB

    Well, we did it and survived, mostly. That climb that takes up the first minute of the video is probably the most difficult, and at times scary. My friend almost bottled out 50 metres up the cliff face because she…[Read more]

    @vashtanerada I hope the explain Pompeii too, I’d love if DoctorDonna was involved somehow.

    That’s another reason I like Tennant.  Sad is happy for deep people, and he was a very tragic Doctor.  Same with Troughton, they both seemed to face regeneration in a similar way.  Not to mention the companions wiped memories.

    That’s a good point @< …[Read more]

    Wow @PhaseShift , that is incredible.  Thank you

    I’m with you @vashtanerada I love Tennant as an actor, not just because he’s pretty.

    I’m not as big a fan of Hurt, I wish they’d brought McGann back.  I heard he wanted too.  Adding another regeneration is just confusing (meta Ten, Valyard, Watcher, etc.)

    I have high high hopes for Capal…[Read more]

    We won’t nuke you @vashtanerada for a politely expressed opinion. (We are nice, mostly…) I would suggest however that you give Peter Capaldi a little more time. OFten a newly regenerated Doctor takes getting used to. My partner really disliked David Tennant initially but he was quickly won over. Some people still don’t like Tennant’s Doctor,…[Read more]

    Happy Who Day all.

    @PhaseShift Surely endangered species can be cultivated to enjoy Dr Who too. @Purofilion I hope that bro Ilion does not interrupt viewing. @VashtaNerada I hope you have Jelly Babies at the ready!! (I am certain that the Vashta Nerada would love jelly babies) @Barnable I hope you enjoy the screening. I went last year and the…[Read more]
