@wolfweed  Oops — all of the clips!  The facial morph one is delightful!

@wolfweed  Thanks for that clip!  Love it.

@wolfweed:

Interesting article and I agree with most of it, except for Paul McGann and forgetting Peter Capaldi and embracing JW. Had I admired all four Doctors equally, then maybe (except for JW) but as PC became MY Doctor, I’m not likely to forget him.

@wolfweed: The role of the Doctor, which Peter Capaldi embodied.

I second that. His Doctor was  far more complicated – and yet more simple – than those who came before. As for Malcolm Tucker, PC was hilarious. It must have been exhausting all that swearing!

@winston:

Peter Capaldi’s  Doctor has always been a mystery to me. He is unpr…[Read more]

@wolfweed It’s fair enough to challenge Davison’s viewpoint (But in a polite, constructive way). It’s not about winning – It’s about being kind.

@jimthefish If we had recommends on here, you’d get a thousand for this comment.

But yes the factionalisation of the whole debate is just horrible — and it’s what, I’m afraid to say, the Press seems t…

ooh – missed a few of these!

@toinfinityandbepond – great song – I’ve not heard of Dar Williams before.
I liked this version I found (prodded by you) as I somehow heard the last verse better – maybe as i wasn’t distracted by the images. thanks!!

@Wolfweed – I’ll admit to not being a massive ELO fan but I AM a fan of Silent Running!…[Read more]

The BBC has just released this today, which was released at Comic Con so @wolfweed may have already posted another version of it. Apologies if so.

@wolfweed

Fantastic. It seems Mark has had a lot of bonkers ideas. Chibnall should hire him as, at least, an “ideas contributor” to his writing room (if it exists).

@jimthefish  @wolfweed   Yes, that speech is the iconic moment, to me.  It’s where he’s come to, the penultimate self-realization — and gives him a stake in *not* regenerating [this is me, the kind of good man I am — I’m not giving me up now I’m found!].  Ground laid for Xmas story.

I also like @hiker saying that maybe more than 12 reg…[Read more]

@wolfweed—

yes, I think PC was doing himself a disservice when he said that his ‘eyebrows’ shot in the 50th special was his iconic moment because to me this is it. This is his ‘do I have the right/small beautiful moments/one day I shall come back’ moment and it’s a great one. It speaks to his whole arc as the Doctor. He moves from ‘Am I good…[Read more]

@janetteb    . . . the Doctor calling himself Timelord when he rejects the elitism of Gallifreyan society. It does grate and I liked Danny making a point about that.

I appreciate the title as a character point: yes, the Doctor is a rebel, but he’s also a bit arrogant — and probably also a bit insecure, since he didn’t do well at the Academy, d…[Read more]

It’s a shame (well not really) that Trump isnt a fan and tweeting. Thanks to all of you for letting me know what the latest crap is about. Gutter journalism, is what it is, unfortunately. Its best not to pay attention, if you can.  Maybe I was a bit hard on Moff, but I do think its best not to play their…[Read more]

@nick — the Tom Baker “story” is a typical Mirror/Sun “twist the facts to suit the headline” tactic. In fact, he said that a woman Doctor Who might be quite fun, but that if the ratings collapsed the BBC could always have her regenerate early to restore the show’s ratings. All perfectly true. But the Mirror/Sun tactic is to hide that behind a…[Read more]
