and here’s a far sillier connection (though not a silly song) for Mummy on the Orient Express (IN SPACE!).

Its a cover, but a great cover!

ok, so as I was walking in to work this morning I heard two songs on shuffle that made me smile in a “I gotta put that one up”.

and for the first time evah I’m posting these from work (ssshhhhhh) even though I’m waaaay too busy.

anyway, here’s one for Mummy… which is more thematic (like the Should I stay or Should I go was) and possibly could…[Read more]

ooh – well there’s so much good stuff here!

Nice to hear some Clash, but @ScaryB – bloody Brunelling brilliant! The Men That Will not be Blamed for Nothing are new to me (which is a shame)!

@Arbutus – Band and Butterfield – luvverly!

As far as this episode I had a quick trawl through my iTunes and even after dismissing loads of songs that…[Read more]

We’ll I loved that one!
Saw it last night (away at weekend) and loved the tone, actors, monster – the whole thing.

And Capaldi even more solid in the role.

Don’t have much if anything to add.

Will watch again tonight and think of some tunes!

ah @idiotsavon – it seems in your household Red Snapper divides opinion as much as Courtney (well, any child actor) does in being a companion.

Its definitely an anxious piece of music!

So now I’ll go all ‘radio’ and apologise if you’ve just listened to Red Snapper and are all in a bit of a tizz (even if you’re a dog); so…

“Here’s one…[Read more]

Hi @doctorwhocraze465 – looking forward to the pics!

Hi @idiotsavon – like janetteb really enjoy your posts!
I’ve not done one of these sofa intros to myself and it’s probably a bit pointless now, but really liked yours as it was so straightforward.

I think we gave a number of teachers and lecturers here (though I’m not one!)

Anyway…. she may not yet be a formal companion/ assistant, but in the rather random series of songs for companions – here’s one for Courtney (from the Caretaker)

This is from the album Prince Blimey which it turns out has some eerily Who-related song-names!

Maybe Moffat or RTD are fans…?

🙂

blimey (that’ll be Prince Blimey but more of that anon) I’ve not been here enough and great to hear some choons!

I wasn’t going to post a ‘moon’ song, but loved the fact that others here did!
Never wrong to have some Creedence and Waits (nice @Arbutus and @XAD4)
So, obviously there’s a gazillion Moon songs, and I was reluctant to link to any more…[Read more]

Hmm, I don’t want to mis-remember but I think it was @juniperfish last year who introduced many of us to the fanfic notion of ‘shipping’.

Now we’re getting a Mistress Master (a la Major Major), with Autons discovering how to take over rubber rather than plastic.

A dark twist for the show indeed… The timeslot might have to be pushed back even…[Read more]

@purofilion and @cryptonomica in I think the same episode Clara calls Danny a “ladykiller” as a bit of fun, but he reacts badly.

I think he killed a woman as part of his ‘bad day’.

Still haven’t rewatched Kill the Moon, but really liked how when Clara is with Danny on the sofa, he’s taken the role of a soldier’s spouse – understanding that their…[Read more]

Eel, very early, head cold and still only seen the episode once so forgive me if some of this is dumb if contradicted by what is said in the episode!

Just wondering if the people being ‘judged’ are humanity.
The Doctor has a great line about how humans would spread across the universe, but he could equally have been describing a virus! Humans can…[Read more]

he he @juniperfish – I thought you’d be hoping that Missy gets to weigh the Doctors hearts against a feather…

😉

and @Spider – that’s 😈 – I like!!

Hi all – can’t believe I haven’t commented yet(!) on this one.

Have only had the chance to see it once (on Saturday night). I think my initial reaction was a bit like others (the sciencey-wiencey was distracting) but ‘enjoyed’ Clara’s outburst.

Perhaps the silly-science only stood out due to the naturalness of other aspects of this series…[Read more]

aww – I did have a small bonker (bonkerette?) but its now silly as @spider has reminded me of the (rather delicious) line:
“I do like his new accent though, I think I might keep it”.

Hey ho.

The bonkette?

Well, it wasn’t who Missy was, but what she is doing.

Basically she inhabits the Promised Land/ Heaven and what happens when you go to hea…[Read more]

ah – sorry to hear you’re not well at the moment @purofilion – hope you feel better soon.

@idiotsavon

both River and Amy turned to writing is also a nice touch. I would like it if that turned out to be a plot point. One of their books providing a vital clue or something.)

you mean like when Clara read the History of the Time War and said…[Read more]

hi @idiotsavon (have I said hello before? Can’t remember, but really enjoy your posts/thinking/humour!)

as per your post #32895 I’m completely with you in that of course we could Google it, but that would kill all the pondering and where’s the fun and learning in that?

😉

I’ve no knowledge of drama except as an audience member, but all I can…[Read more]

ooh apologies for slightly rubbish posting (its late where I am and I’m kinda knackered!).

Someone mentioned Tempest – didn’t the play revolve around a ‘magician’ and his daughter, stranded on an island (with a monster) and a ‘hero’ comes along and whisks her off her feet (not words Shakespeare would have resorted to I’m sure).

But that’s merely…[Read more]

@ScaryB – yeah, Floyd do seem to be getting the connections for this thread! (and no bad thing).

Barnable – quite earwormy indeed! Will now wash my ears out!

Hats (including fezzes) off to @Phaseshift for metaMusicMagic (no Rita linking from me).

Though surprised no one was silly enough* to go for…[Read more]

he he @ScaryB – yep Heroes was the other one!

Though we should link to another brick in the wall if that was what the Doctor was whistelling (I didn’t recognise it, but before I got tediumed by the Guardian blog, someone mentioned that that was what was what he was whistling).

I did have this for…[Read more]

ah @Cathannabel – I tried looking for the commenters as I thought itd be fun trolling the trolls (as it were) but just got bored by stuff beforehand.

which is a shame as it seemed like a fun thing at the time!

ah well, my mischievousness needs to go elsewhere it seems (thank god (missy??!?) for spellchecker on that word!)

missyspellchecker???!!??
