@Whisht and @ScaryB as our resident musos – what is the tune Susan Twist dances to on stage? It’s bugging me as it’s really familiar…

@bunface @Blenkinsopthebrave @thane16

I wonder if Gatwa Doctor’s frequent tears are because, on some deep level, he recognises that there is a Red Doctor/ Sutekh-possessed Red TARDIS out there in the crossed…[Read more]

Wow @whisht your music choices are just brilliant. Loved those!

The beginning and end of the choir vid reminds you these are regular fun-loving children making this amazing sound. Incredible really. x

@whisht

Yes, The Carol of the Bells, which we heard in the introduction when baby Ruby is left at the church and again at the other end of the time loop when the Doctor returns her to the church porch – presumably the church choir singing. I wonder whether the choice here was deliberate, given that it is a Ukrainian song in origin – although I…[Read more]

@whisht

cauliflower cheese. It’s a marvellous dish!

Can’t argue with that, it made me the Mudlark I am; likewise the Macra(ni) Cheese, regarding which the only terrors were my best friend and me when it appeared on the school dinner menu 😜

Looking forward, maybe the Toymaker’s phantasmagorical legions to come will include that well known Gr…[Read more]

@whisht

As I was watching, I wondered if the cut cards would yield anything meaningful. When the 8 Clubs came up, I was a bit stumped, but knew someone here would have an in-depth view.

For my part, it seemed to be a bit of foreshadowing, and with “Eight” sounding like “Ate” and a Club looking a bit like a Brassica, my suspicions were…[Read more]

@Whisht

… there’s an entire comment of yours on this thread I should link to as I want to hug it.

Awww shucks 🙂  I’ve been enjoying having you and @ScaryB back in the DJing box, and actually some of the lyrics to that Tom Waits song you posted, Who Are You, combined with @Phaseshift ‘s musing on the “Celestial” element of the Celestial T…[Read more]

@Whisht

GOOD Whisht!!! Yes, yes and YES! Exactly that! 😉

@ps1l0v3y0u

the stage in the Chibnall cycle when my brains started leaking from my ears.

😀 😀 😀

@ScaryB – lovely to see you and @Whisht back in the DJ box!

I’d missed the detail that it was the TARDIS that clocked Clone-Donna’s long arm at the last – clever old thing.  And yes, definitely a play on AI and its current weirdnesses with the human body. AI is terrifying frankly, so a very modern form of body horror.

I had forgotten ARSE – I’m…[Read more]

@Whisht

Haha, what else? 😉

Now what about this week…? How about this for an episode about doubles and detecting life signs:

(And also interesting thumbnail which seems to be AI image gone a bit wrong 😉 )

Nice one Mr @Whisht

It is indeed lovely to catch up here again 🙂

@whisht what he (@blenkinsopthebrave) said.. 🙂

Hope he can keep the accent.

Cheers

Janette

@whisht

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

Ha!! Brilliant!

You have been gone too long, my friend.

I see you haven’t lost your touch since I’ve been away @Whisht! Great choices. I like Floyd, early stuff in particular, but I agree with you on Dvision Bell 😉

@thane16 – Eleanor Rigby – great choice 🙂

Thanks @Jimthefish for remembering me back into existance!

RL has been having a massive impact on my online DW life; ironically for life in a pandemic with lockdown etc I got really busy, and mostly been having to watch on catch up (sometimes several at a time). Also, with less scope for bonkers theorising in the last 2 seasons maybe some of the…[Read more]

@whisht  That is a great song and it inspired me to look mine up. It was Teen Angel by Mark Dinning, seriously Teen Angel?  I have no idea how to post it and even if I did……I might not.Not a bad song but not cool at all. Oh well I have never been accused of being cool.

Stay safe.

Thanks @whisht – I have a big 50th (not mine – a friend’s) that I’ve been asked to DJ at. So I was checking tunes on birthdays. Turns out the guy’s birthday No.1 is Benny Hill – ‘Ernie the fastest milkman in the west’

I might try to do a FatBoy Slim style remix for a laugh. But a friend of mine just said to do top tracks from 1971. And there are…[Read more]

@whisht – so great to see you again! And so many others.

The Doctor. I know I have said this before, but Jodie Whittaker’s version still lacks authority. @mudlark made the same point above. I felt this has been her (or Chibnall’s) problem all along. And I point the finger at Chibnall because I have felt it was a conscious decision on his part to…[Read more]

@Whisht, Thanks for the halloween contribution! I am sitting here, on the day after Halloween, it is a stunningly gorgeous autumn day, the leaves on the trees are vibrantly golden and red, and it just seems, emotionally, like a good day.

So I thought I would offer up this, both for the music, and the staging, and because it reminds me of good…[Read more]

@whisht

Crikey, you did! It’s either middle age short-term memory loss or lockdown disassociation.

@whisht

So…did you manage to watch the two Borg episodes of NG and then Picard?
