As to the size of the dinosaur, it’s probably a homage to Gorgo…
Or chewits!
@thommck
In 1842 James Orchard Halliwell published a collected version as;Humpty Dumpty lay in a beck.
With all his sinews around his neck;
Forty Doctors and forty wrights
Couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty to rights!
The Dr Who Universe is set in a parallel dimension to our own (That’s why we don’t remember a giant dinosaur…).
Even in the comics…
The 1st Doctor Who lesbian kiss…
These ladies weren’t married. Am I bovvered?
Funnily enough, I just found this…

To clarify, The 4th Doctor & Sarah Jane’s lips would have met but it would have been ambiguous as to whether it was a kiss or not…
(Think Smith & Jones’ : genetic transfer or kiss?)
And I see your point about Vastra & Jenny. Oh… They’re married, so they’re ‘allowed’ to share oxygen…
If Terror of the Zygons had been made during the Tennant era, the scene where the Doctor stops himself & Sarah Jane needing to breath would probably have been done more like the Vastra/Jenny kiss…
Natalie SharpRadio Times Poster – has the Deep Breath credits on it though…?!? Fan-Made, I suppose…
…………………………………………………………………spoilers
I bet that was a bugger to get down…
Abslom Daak in Dr Who?!?

In mythology, Melissa seems to relate to Diana/Artemis (Queen of the Hunt), whilst Melitta relates to ‘Hive’.
As far as I’m aware, there’s never been an official multi-Master story, has there?
I’d also like to see ‘The 12 Ranis’…It started with a phone call. It ended with a phone call…

I hadn’t thought of that, @fivefaces …
And here’s the obligatory River conspiracy. Remember, the episode featured the Thames…
Poor Clara & Smith Doctor. It’s like Hugh Grant turning into Joanna Lumley…
The wedding’s off.
I just want to add to the ‘Missy is the Master’ campaign with a reminder that the Master usually had an obvious pseudonym. More often than not it was ‘Master’ in a foreign language, or a weird anagram of Master.

Beware of any future character called ‘Stream’…
Of course, Missy would not actually be a pseudonym but a (funny & informal) female version of Master.
I’ve never seen this programme before. Loving all the references. Womansaurus Rex!

Next week Dr Who faces the return of his greatest enemy…
Nice posters, @antares
It’s funny – this was done over a year ago…

Similarities to Frankenstein must be destroyed…
Okay, still trying to work out my ‘Missy is the Valeyard born of the Doctor’s fob watch’ theory…
(They say you always need a Plan B)
People are speculating that the watch the tramp got is significant. On viewing, I didn’t believe the Doctor when he said he did a swap. I reckoned he was lying and that he just beat the tramp up… But perhaps that’s not the case…Perhaps the Doctor and the Master should just get a room. A lot of fan art out there would have it that they do do all that ‘grown up stuff’ together! I can’t show you most of it though…
@bluesqueakpip Yes! Was this the invented android boyfriend?

The Cricklewood Greats
Peter Capaldi embarks upon a personal journey to discover the shocking history of the stars of north London’s famous film studios. Including clips from rarely seen films and interviews with Marcia Warren and Terry Gilliam
Tonight @ 23.10 BBC4Welcome @Evs – I like that spot! Great spot!
Okay, so, backtracking a moment just to lend some context to my earlier remarks… So the hand in DOTD probably is actually supposed to be Clara’s (it has the same rings). It is a very weird looking shot though. I can see why it formed a conspiracy theory…
I’m sure the World & his Wife know that the Cybermen were @ St Pauls but I’d better post this link here…
http://whopix.wordpress.com/2014/07/22/is-this-missy/
Check it out at 52 + minutes in on DOTD…
It probably is Clara’s hand (it has the same rings) but you never know…Is this Missy ??????
(Found on Whopix)
Check it out at 52 + minutes in on DOTD…
Hidden in pain sight… (Can’t believe I’ve never spotted this!)
My theory is that Missy is Clara’s biological Dad (or Grandad). ‘No, Clara….I am your father!’
The incidental music is really rather brilliant. Enjoy.
There was nearly a punch up last night between Moffat & Capaldi over the Mondasian Cybermen, after Zoe Ball asked if Capaldi had any influence over the show. Blimey! You can smell the testosterone!
Red Waterfall Time in the Garden!
The Promised Land/Heaven
For those wondering about the cinema prequel, I’ll give you a brief synopsis. It features the P’ Gang with Strax doing another Field Report (or blog as he is ribbed about). He goes through the previous Doctors and their personalities (if I remember right he almost skipped McCoy). Contains the word ‘puberty’…
They’re interrupted by a call to adventure – To Deep Breath!
It’s funny stuff. I’ll post if & when it becomes uploaded.
@fivefaces
Sorry I left out your Moment theory.
And I like your ‘Mistress of the Land of Fiction’ theory. Fairly bonkers but plausible.
I’ve got to agree with 100% with @bluesqueakpip
I’ve been thinking exactly the same since I watched the leak of this ep (the only one I’ve watched/read – naughty!) The clues all point this way (could be a red herring of course).
Lots of boys/blokes are saying that they’ll stop watching if the Master becomes a woman.
I don’t see what the problem is. If she is, Michelle Gomez could end up being the best Master yet.As I said early this morning (over on the spoilers thread), she reminds me of (a crazed) Anthony Ainley.
A Time Lord sex change should come as no surprise. It’s been mentioned in ‘The Doctor’s Wife’ and recently in the War Doctor novel, ‘Engines of War’.
Going back to the leak, I’m sure that in it, the audio cut between the gifted eyes and the sound of the fountain was quicker & louder and therefor much more gruesome.
And as for anyone wondering why I was banging on about Thatcher – The newspaper in the tramp scene details Margaret Roberts’ ‘spontaneous combustion’.
Sorry. I consist mostly of coffee.
Is Missy the Master? It would certainly pave the way for a future female Doctor.
I assumed it as soon as I knew the character was called Missy. I’m surprised most people aren’t thinking the same. We’ve had enough mentions of Time Lord sex changes recently to not have to assume she’s the Rani! To me she looks like the Master only female (very Ainley – but absolutely bonkers!)…
Even if this turns out to be the case, it doesn’t answer any of the other questions thrown up. What exactly is Paradise? (A TARDIS?) How is she the Doctor’s girlfriend? Would the relationship survive another sex change? (see The Curse of Fatal Death!)
I haven’t read the scripts or watched the leaked episodes, so I just don’t know who she is…
I feel comparatively unspoilered right now. Nice!
Nice spot (by Giftedcynic I think) on the Gruniad thread – ‘Maggie Thatcher’ was immolated!
There was a rumour that this episode was called ‘Nemesis of Neglect’, so I was expecting ‘a little bit of politics’.
@timeloop Walloped – http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/wallop
Clara wonders who Amy is when the Dr mentions her, grumbling about the sonic rolling on the floor.
‘Skin’ is a good bit because it’s not what you expect to power a spaceship…
Jenny and Strax at the screening…
Oooo! Heaven looks a bit familiar…

Just back from the cinema. Nearly full but not quite. I got the best seat in the house.
It looked unbelievable on the big screen.
Expect a cinema prequel to be uploaded sometime soon. Very funny.
As for the actual episode…
Biggest laugh there was Clara getting walloped by the newspaper.
Nice to see Brian Miller as the tramp. The scene reminds me of Limmy’s ‘Gies yer Jaiket’ (sadly now removed from the net)…
A ripple on on the lake? Clara wonders who Amy is. Pond connection red herrings?
@timeloop – As for the blame the English joke, everyone laughed (& we’re in the heart of Scotland). I think both sides of the referendum campaign will try to claim a win on that one.
@littlemess – definitely looked like Matt Smith when the mask was getting pulled off.
So many good bits (e.g ‘Skin!’) I can’t think straight.
Who could Missy possibly be….?
Dr Who Extra, then Q & A (with Zoe Ball) lasted about 50 minutes. No trailer for forthcoming DVD release though…
Right, I’m off for a 1st rewatch..
