    “I’m your lady”?

    “Young, gifted and black”?

    Get ’em lined up!

  • @blenkinsopthebrave and @whisht It is indeed made with affection for the original and that shines through. It was made by fans for fans, at a time when nostalgia for Who was running high.

    cheers

    @whisht I’ve been a bit naughty on the “An Adventure in Space and Time” topic. For a limited time only. Catch it while you can. πŸ™‚

    @whisht

    I also thought this song could apply to either Bill or Missy

    I wasn’t convinced that this eels song, was quite right, but it could apply to the master given the Doctor;s mancrush.

    Too good to resist…

    @thane15

    No, if you go back to the Face The Raven forum you’ll find I was sufficiently negative about the episode that @Whisht jokingly asked if I was trolling and @Blenkinsopthebrave asked if I were in the stages of grief. πŸ™‚

    @Nick said a bit ago that he didn’t think Face the Raven could carry the weight of a companion’s death (if I’ve got…[Read more]

    @Whisht

    You really shouldn’t stroke my ego; it encourages a vanity which is quite inappropriate in one of my years – or any years for that matter.

    But I would never be so ungracious as to spurn a compliment – so *glow*

    @Craig

    That is truly heart-warming, and testimony to the fact that social media are not dominated by the mean-minded, even if…[Read more]

    @NickΒ  Yes, he’s bright and, though he’s not a physicist exactly, he is like me interested in physics, quantum mechanics and cosmology,Β albeit much better qualified to follow the maths.

    @WhishtΒ  I’ve never held with the notion of living fast and dying young. On the whole I have always maintained it is better to live slow and retain at least so…[Read more]

    Many years of diligent research by scientists, using science, have show that people who like The Smiths are in no position to criticise any one else’s taste. About anything. Science proves it. With science.

    Over to you Tom…

     

  • @whisht

    There are many cover of the song, but check out the one by 10,000 Maniacs.

    And back to Time… Best. Intro. Ever.

  • Nick replied to the topic World Enough and Time

    @whisht

    πŸ™‚ I can and will be perfectly willing to agree with you as soon as the next episode.

    Right now, so far as I could tell from the story, all we know is that the Master was on the ship (how/why ?), watched a genesis of the Cybermen and was instrumental in when Bill became a Cyberman (ie as soon as the process was refined and worked). The…[Read more]

    @whisht Β Now that is a bonkers theory and I like it! Β πŸ˜€

    I do wonder about that woman looking like Heather — easy to miss if one wasn’t looking…but if any loose end needed tying up, it’s that…

  • @whisht @thane15

    So, the definitive song about time, and may as well got right back to the beginning:

  • Nick replied to the topic Dr Who News (4)

    @blenkinsopthebrave

    Absolutely. You describe all the reasons why I’ll be tuning in. I think they’ll want to do something new, on top, with the setting. I’m not sure what, but I expect it’ll be interesting.

    I think Gatiss probably produces his best when someone else is involved, to tone down his ideas

    At last someone thought to get their smartphone out at a gig.

    The sublime “Rise”:

  • @whisht

    Yep. Still burning after 24 hours. Utterly, disgracefully appalling – but as you say, simply everybody stepped up (except the dude from KCTMO who would have been better advised not to do the interview).

    London Fire Brigade. Just bloody magnificent.

    @whisht

    Excellent!

    No, I really like the way Gomez delivers lines – she seems to find words delicious if that makes sense.

    … and that is the sense of delicious which I meant – her entire delivery, I certainly didn’t mean to imply anything else ( I could have stopped to think before posting, of course) πŸ™‚

  • soundworld replied to the topic Empress of Mars

    @whisht

    There was a Time-Lady so delicious,
    Wild and fey, and totally capricious.
    Missy! I’m in love with you…
    Even tho’ you’re you-know-Who…
    And your motives are totally suspicious!

    Is that bad enough to get me banned for life? πŸ˜‰
