Hi all,
No real thoughts to add that others haven’t said better (and many many thoughts I’d not even considered!).
@juniperfish (catnip!) not only dissected the cards they merely cut, she stitched a whole wormhole to be lost down!
I’d just thought “ah, he lost” and “is 8 meant to be infinity?”

The only thing I can add that I haven’t seen…[Read more]

Wow.

Just wow.

Not the episode. I enjoyed it, was happy to see Tennant and Tate again and sparring off each other.

But wow – it’s great to hear/see so many people being… erudite and bonkers and engaged again.
And that includes (newer) people saying “who the hell are you and do you mean me?”
:¬)

@juniperfish – there’s an entire comment of…[Read more]

@scaryb – yay! How are you??

Apologies for the late reply.
That’s a rather melodic Aphex Twin track so thanks for that – I really liked it.
I know he’s very varied but I do like the melodic stuff.

Now, for Wild Blue Yonder I didn’t stoop to think to Crazy Arms songs (I’m not that silly) but instead, as a belated Happy Birthday to Tom Waits,

Who…[Read more]

Hi @scaryB

I think the most appropriate song for the Star Beast is…

Which I’m sure has *nothing* to do with Disney at all.

😀

btw – I read that Star Beast as a comic pre-dated E.T. but I wonder if it’s pre-dating of Gremlins is even more interesting.

But if I’m honest, I’ve nothing to add to that comment as I haven’t really thought about it.

And its hardly as if 2000AD didn’t leap onto the ET bandwagon (though by giving it to Alan Moore they ended up with ‘imagine ET…[Read more]

Hi all,
I don’t have many new things to add to everyone’s thoughts on this return for Ten-nant.
I liked it, I liked a family (as opposed a “fam”), way Donna’s mum’s concern at not wanting to get things ‘wrong’ in terms of how to speak to or about Rose (showing how clearly it’s far more important how one *feels* about such things).

I noticed that…[Read more]

Hi all,

Well I’ve been so very tardy (and not Tardisy)!
I really need to catch up with everyone and in fact, I haven’t even seen the last couple of episodes or the regen!

I will I will before I watch this ‘new’ Doctor!

Anyway, it would be remiss of me not to offer a song to you all, so…

I notice that there have been some colourised episodes,…[Read more]

I don’t really need to explain this one

;¬)

Hope she’s great*

* is she really going out with him?

I’ve not seen Ncuti in anything, but 3 BAFTA nominations and positive reviews everywhere seems good, so I’m looking forward to him starting.

Hope he dyes his hair ginger

:¬D

But another Scot!!???!!!???
Where’s the diversity BBC????

tut.

So – music for the Sea Devils episode.

I’m feeling a little salty with my music choices.
I didn’t like this episode much, so forgive me.
But…. I’ll try and at least suggest some… thing.
;¬)

I don’t really suggest this one – it works as part of an album and ‘tone’ but….
Pirates by Burial came up when I searched my hardrive and…. its…[Read more]

Hi all,
Bad me – I wrote this and dithered and then a new Doctor was announced.
That’ll learn me! 😀

… anyway, this is what I wrote a few days ago that has nothing to do with the great new casting…

Lots of new people since last i was here which is really great.
Sorry I’ve been missing for a while.
I’ll probably do a bit of name checking but…[Read more]

Hi everyone – I hope you are all having a delightful, wonderful and other deserving words beginning with “D” and “W”.
Take care and much love to you all.

Sadly here are some tracks for musicians who have sadly died recently.

Steve Bronski of Bronski Beat

Robbie Shakespear
I never really got into Reggae and so can’t link to classic tracks that I have.
The Guardian obit mentioned this as a great tune but I won’t claim to have known it:…[Read more]

So, can I find anything to add for the Vanquishers?

Well – nothing that could make sense or riff on it as I don’t really know what it was about (stuff happened but not sure why)

So instead I’ll settle for chewy choons from a confected scene with confectionary.

(though this is a funkier take)

;¬)

Well, it’s been a week or so since I saw it and I’ve nothing to add.

Which is ironic, as it didn’t stop Chibnell adding everything even if it wasn’t that relevant.
:¬D

{sigh}

@ichabod – I agree. You said it better than I and have left me smiling ;¬)
@blenkinsopthebrave – oh, do write a blog if you want, I’ll read it!
@juniperfish – agree with e…[Read more]

ah MAN!!

@scaryb @thane16
Helllllloooooooooooooooooo !!!!!!

So great to hear from you!

In the same vein, here is my track for Survivors of the Flux.

“Nothing’s Gonna Change My World”
(but which world does she mean…?)

;¬)

So – Village of the Angels

I’ve no real appetite to listen to the Pink Floyd album The Division Bell (I’ve never listened to it) but if its a fave of anyone’s, feel free to share!
Maybe I’ll like it :¬)

When a character said “Its happening again” I immediately thought of this song.
And then I saw the video and I realised where it took its…[Read more]

I liked this in parts. I did feel like there was a lot of explaining going on.
But parts of it looked sumptuous.

Thanks so much @Mudlark as I wasn’t sure if we’d been told much about The Division.
But from your detective work it seems clues have been dropped.

One thing ‘the division’ made me think of was the ‘Division Bell’.
No not the Pink…[Read more]

So – for Once, Upon Time I really have not found something interesting to link with music-wise.

So I’ll simply lean on this for a loose connection…

@blenkinsopthebrave – Nat King Cole is a classic.
and Teen Angel @winston reminds me that I think there’s a whole genre of teenager-dying songs.
Just not sure I want to look them up, but maybe a connection with motorcycles etc etc.

But fun sharing!
