On a mercifully non-Brexity note, anyone going to Glasgow Comic Con this weekend? @ScaryB? @Wolfweed?

@wolfweed

How excellent to see you again, Dr Basil Wolfweed Funkenstein.

I must confess that I miss the crazy captions.

@wolfweed—

Big hello to the wolfy-weedy one. Good to see you’re still around….

@wolfweed

..and so say all of us! Hell is alive and well!

@spacedmunkee  yes I thought it strange that ashildr would be so dismissive of Clara, given she helped her and was so nice to her in previous episode. Possibly she was jealous that the doctor chooses to travel with a “Mayfly” rather than her

I think so too — she clearly had expected that Clara was long gone, being just a mayfly, so Clara’s stil…[Read more]

Thanks @Wolfweed for the link to the music track, great stuff. And great news about the repeat double episode broadcast for UK tomorrow. Might just watch that. Just because it’s there, haha.

@JanetteB Likewise re being busy. Agree with your reading of Clara, but again, the character works for me.  I think we’ve left the Impossible Girl behind…[Read more]

@wolfweed

Thanks for the music isolated video. Marvellous. I’m assuming that Murray Gold wrote this?

@kharis — the screening was actually in Scotland as part of the Edinburgh International Television Festival. There was quite a good Q&A with Steven Moffat too and other forum members lucky enough to be there were @scaryb, @wolfweed and @xad4.

Yes, it’s tough getting a BBC gig for residents in the UK, so it must be doubly daunting for those overseas.

@scaryb @jimthefish @xad4 @wolfweed

Glad you all enjoyed it! I look forward to any snippets you can remember (hint hint) from the Q&A when the episode airs.

Don’t look at the extra wait for part 2 as a drawback. Look at it as extra time to develop theories on how part 2 will go. 🙂

@xad4 — brilliant. Thanks for that. A close relative of our own Frank Spencer. And a cautionary tale to smart-arse cafe bars who get too creative with their picture framing…..

And it was great to see the northern contingent again. @wolfweed is much missed so it was good to catch up. And to put a face to @xad4. And of course to see the mighty…[Read more]

It was indeed a most lovely evening! 🙂

A big thanks to Mr and Mrs @JimTheFish, @Wolfweed, and above all @ScaryB for being so welcoming.

Only downside: more than three weeks to go until the re-watch! 😮

Thanks for thinking about us @JanetteB and @Bluesqueakpip

Had a great mini-forum meet with @JimtheFish, Mrs Fish, @Wolfweed and @XaD4 and a packed cinema full of Doctor Who fans.  Can’t report much from the screening of Magician’s Apprentice (very temporary escape from the stasis cube to post this) – except to say – make sure you don’t miss it…[Read more]

@wolfweed — I like the armoured-up Voord. And definitely want me some more War Doctor action. Will look out for that….

And in our Shit Journalism 101 slot, how to leap to wildly unsupported assertions in a headline from the flimsiest of quotes (courtesy of the Metro and the Mirror)….

Just back from two weeks holiday and look at everything I’ve missed. There’s a new trailer! @Blenkinsopthebrave is back! @Wolfweed is back! Various erudite debates! A brand new shiny troll! (Looking forward to more of those when the new series starts, just for @pedant‘s pithy put-downs. 🙂 )Lots to catch up on. @purofilion, I hadn’t quite mad…[Read more]

@scaryb — welcome back, o purple one…. Good to see you back (and you too, @wolfweed). You’ve both been much missed.

ooo, seeing the Magician’s Apprentice three weeks early. That might be kinda cool. Will try and get tickets tomorrow. Would it be something that our esteemed emperor @Craig might want to make the trip back to the mother country…[Read more]

Attention all DW fans in the Edinburgh area on Thurs 27 Aug.

The Filmhouse is screening the first episode of Series 9 nearly 3 weeks ahead of TV broadcast!!! (Or am I wrong in thinking DW-Day is 19 Sep..?)

Set your alarm clocks for 10am, 21 July to get your tickets. (It’s not a big cinema so repeat dial could be…[Read more]
