@blenkinsopthebrave     Well, if you have to be locked up anywhere, you picked the right spot! Glad you’re out, though.

@wolfweed, I love Battlefield. It seems to get a bad rap from a lot of people, but it’s always been one of my favourites. I always thought it was a better outing for the Brig than Mawdryn Undead, and Jean Marsh was fab. Serio…[Read more]

The Greatest Sylvester McCoy Episode Vote in the Galaxy

Many thanks for everyone who has voted so far, and particularly for giving us first and second choices. Perhaps we can avoid agonising tie break situations with an AV system? 😀

So, to date, this is how the voting is shaping up. @wolfweed introduced the wild card, Battlefield, whose…[Read more]

he he @Phaseshift – seems my lack of metal (mettle?) may account for my lack of songs with ‘fear’ in the title! (though hardly as if I don’t like heavy guitars! where’s that Slint when I need them?? wherever it is it needs to be <<loud>>).

However the Mettalica does give me the excuse to link to a great animation that ( @wolfweed ?) was…[Read more]

@wolfweed Thank you very much for the videos! Love em

@barnable great bonkers! Though something just came up from my mind, is that, Orson in the end of the world manage to resist himself of 6 months not opening that door, and it was supposedly only Rupert/Danny and the Doctor can see, how come Clara can listen to what the creature was doing…[Read more]

Well met @geoffers! (possibly by moonlight, it’s waning here).

No problems with discussing the Extras for the episode on this forum. It may close down some avenues for speculation, but it’s still official BBC material, so all good. @wolfweed posts them often as videos (and has done here) and notorious spoiler-o-phobe and bonkers theorist @bluesque…[Read more]

Welcome along @thebrainofmoffat, your “Evidence 3” reminded me of something. Didn’t Doctor 11 go and look all over Clara’s timeline (or at least her past) to try and figure out why she was so impossible?
Surely Doctor 12 should’ve known that the orphanage was somewhere she had never been? I guess that can be swept under the rug marked memory…[Read more]

@Bluesqueakpip     I really hope that Clara doesn’t die. But this:      However, merely being dead doesn’t suggest Clara won’t be taking any further part in events. Rory died more times than Kenny, and River was living a busy and active post-death life. Donna got saved.      Hilariously put, and a good point!

@HisDreamer   Welcome!  The clois…[Read more]

@wolfweed I bow to your obvious superior knowledge lol that that will teach me to re back read any entries made after my last post b4 adding any flash pan enteritis 🙂 🙁

@Craig

Thanks for starting this conversation

Why can’t people be allowed a free choice without scare stories and intimidation that keep all the vested interested happy?

Vested interests – you’ve answered it yourself. eg majority of the current cabinet have direct links to private health care providers and pharmaceutical companies – and are m…[Read more]

@chickenelly Moffat got his budget cut? Reason?

@Juniperfish Hello you! Still not well? It’s about time you kick that thing in the b***.  Yeah, I’d also say it’s been ‘Dad skills’ -we also know what he did. He did it to himself in Deep Breath, remember?

@JimboMcMaster We will have to wait and see if he is still bothered by those questions. He…[Read more]

@Whisht @Fatmaninabox Glad I’m not alone……

It’s like… And they did… And the Doctor….. And Clara…. And the child… and crying! …. And just….. awesome. No coherent thought. I am not even sure if I should watch it again or let it sink in first…. such a huge difference in what we know about the Doctor!

And I had 2 surprises (The…[Read more]

@wolfweed    Oh, I love Battlefield. But I fear I’m in the minority, as a lot of people seem to consider it pretty lame. But I thought Nicholas Courtney was lovely, and Jean Marsh was a terrific Morgaine, and I loved the notion of the Doctor as Merlin (and being recognized even with a different face, simply because he was so “Mer…[Read more]

Hello @wolfweed

Dont speak

I thought I was the master of detail but I bow to you in your awesomeness.

It looks as though you’re letting go
And if it’s real
Well I don’t want to know

Please dont spoil me with anything about this series in the future.  But the finger-shush of that image seems to indicate that Clara might be on her way…[Read more]

@Wolfweed – you mean it’s only taken you two weeks to notice? 😈

Hello @wolfweed

Oh yeah

Hello @wolfweed

Im not sure anyone can trump an orangutan in a bikini top, with a cape and pleated satin trousers (not to mention that quite obvious posture of — (Hello, Im Here, and Wondrously Outre, and You are Less than the Shadow of My Fabulous Manhood), — but —

Orangutans with spoons are still to be found in a family-friendly image…[Read more]

Thanks @Midnyt ffor the screenshots, you have better pausing skills than me!

@Barnable, some nice extra links to chalk up on my blackboard 🙂

@Wolfweed 😀

BTW, if you’re spoiler sensitive, try and avoid any of the official pre-release shots for the next episode. I saw one with somebody’s name on that I wish hadn’t been revealed to me…[Read more]

@wolfweed

There is a hand clearly visible a few frames earlier, but I maintain that that shadow is the arches.

@Serahni – re: post 31376…

beautifully said! and i agree with everything therein. might i add, to your final point, that the doctor and robin hood are co-heroes in this episode. so, how else would robin hood defeat a spaceship flying up into the air… than by shooting an arrow at it?! sure, the doctor might have come up with something…[Read more]

Concerning the screwdriver (and also the arrow a bit):

I think I remember that they (someone in the big DW machine) said not everything the Doctor does happens on screen. It helps with your imagination if you keep wondering what happened, making up solutions/stories. They (whoever they were) said it has been those stories that kept DW alive…[Read more]
