I like children’s stories…
‘Don’t suck your thumbs while I’m away. The great tall tailor always comes To little boys who suck their thumbs. Ere they dream what he’s about He takes his great sharp scissors out And cuts their thumbs clean off and then…’
Another potential for who or what is in the vault.
Who remembers this bit of intrigue from The Witch’s Familiar?
(She removes the cameo brooch from her blouse neck.)
MISSY: Dark star alloy. Goes through armour plating like a knife through people.
CLARA: Missy. Missy. Missy, uncuff me now!
MISSY: It’s pretty, though, isn’t it? Got it in the olden days on Gallifrey. The Doctor gave it to me when my daughter…

Did ‘It’s okay to punch a fascist in the face’ trend on twitter tonight? If not it should have done…..
Just a couple of quick Qs from this snip of P Cap @ Calgary…
Questions for Peter Capaldi at Calgary Expo
Beware: Some really narky posts on the page in the link below… I’m not sure if all the haters know (or care) that it was Peter Capaldi’s idea for the 12th Doctor to play the guitar? Whatever the case, they were spared this:
Too much a Clara overdose for a story which introduces a new companion, perhaps?
Is she returning (Steven Moff said no in 2015…)???
Composter reminiscent of ‘The Seeds of Doom’…
Twins suns reminiscent of Tatooine…
“…I can be back before we left!” is very similar to the end of Meglos:
EARTHLING: … I’ll be in trouble back home.
DOCTOR: Oh?
EARTHLING: I told the wife I’d be in from work in twenty minutes.
DOCTOR: Well, don’t worry about that. We can get you back before you leave.
Rosemary was considered sacred to the ancient Egyptians…
Perhaps Bill is Nefertiti’s (& John Riddell’s) granddaughter… (like some hope everyone in Star Wars will turn out to be inter-related – I am your father, she is your sister; she is yer Grandma…) …or maybe just showing pride in her heritage. It’s funny- she holds the bust like she’s mind-wiping it.
Fleishman actually refers to British chemist Martin Fleischmann who declared he had produced fusion at room temperature in 1989. The process was soon after dubbed ‘cold fusion’.
Agree with you @mudlark about the Vardi resembling a murmuration of starlings.
Thanks @mersey for the link. I’m looking forward to seeing the film.
Peter Capaldi’s bonkers theory (on the aftershow) is that his hair will grow & attack the Universe…
‘Made of optimism…’
Some thoughts…
As well as Van Gogh appearing in the book in front of the corpse, the early scenes in the fields with the swirling Vardi microbots are reminiscent of the painting ‘Wheatfield with Crows’ by him.
It used to be considered his last painting before he (supposedly) committed suicide and was long said to be a representation of his despair, though this is all now disputed.
The death of Kezzia was both really disturbing and laugh out loud funny all at the same time.
The emoji critters proved ‘Not a disappointing robot’.
I wonder if the Dr’s referencing a fondness for fish socially relates to (the one true) @jimthefish ?!

Tour agent businesswoman or Foamasi spy?
This is the picture but it seems to be altered in the show to make the circles recesses…
Very interesting.
Nice to see that Rachael Stott got an Easter egg in the Dr’s study…

On Friday I was oblivious to the fact that Wills & Kate were in Dundee mingling with us mere mortals….!
I was too busy listening to (current Dr Who magazine comic artist) Mike Collins on his comic work & on his storyboard work, especially on Dr Who.
On the Wednesday we had already had the honour of hearing from Dave Gibbons (the original Dr Who Mag comic artist) about his work; as part of the Literary Festival.
Now on the Friday we were treated to a couple of talks from Mike (who I’ve followed since his Slaine [2000AD] days).
Here are some titbits about the show which he revealed to us…
Flatline – Mike Suggested the use of the TARDIS (siege mode) as a paper weight to hold the railway poster on the table. This was met with a response along the lines of, ‘How very dare you!’ It did transpire in the televised show though…!
Death in Heaven- Originally the TARDIS was meant to dramatically fall out of the plane but the aircraft door was too small…
Magician’s Apprentice – The hand mines were originally to have closed & reopened with teeth…
Witches Familiar – The roof beam which drops on Dalek was originally deemed too expensive. It was filmed though, but apparently they broke the wrong Dalek (a fully functional one rather than a dummy prop).
Under the Lake – It was a stunt man who rolled under the door (rule number 1: don’t break Peter)
Girl Who Died – The upside down eyes at the beginning were devised by Mike…
The Mire were supposed to walk into Longhouse but (once again!) the location door was too small…
Mike also showed us his original storyboards which were smaller than you might imagine.
Thanks to Mike and to Dave Gibbons for their time & insightful dialogue.Wills & Kate who?
Greetings!
Nice to see that the Beeb have relented and will release ‘The Underwater Menace’ on dvd, just 2 months after they confirmed that they definitely wouldn’t at all ever. Now you can actually (legally) complete your collections…

P.S. Big shouts out to @scaryb , @jimthefish & @xad4 (…. as well as everyone else – much missed.)
Sorry – just popped in & now I’m popping off again.
‘The Four Doctors’ comics are out soon…
Sorry, @scaryb – I’m still just a Data Ghost mumbling from the Library and the last light is blinking…
I hope it doesn’t take too many hours to hoover that glitter(!)
I’ll keep in touch now and again once I’ve been uploaded to CAL…
One day.. One day…..

Dr Who #5 Cover by Alice X Zhang
Hi all. Thanks to all those concerned with my absence. I’m afraid I have some bad news. I was eaten by the Tythonian Ambassador.
But one day I shall come back. Yes, one day. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs… and prove to me that I was not mistaken in mine.
I burnt up a Sun just to say goodbye…
Miss you all,

I took a couple of screengrabs. I’m not so curious about the first one, although the person in the top left looks a bit weird (you can’t really see it in the screengrab as it’s squished horizontally). Also, their head does not appear to have collapsed.
I find this one much more interesting. It’s the 1st image after the Doctor says ‘I need worms.’ Looks like Ian Chesterton to me, although I’m sure that will be poo-pooed.
