I guess it is the age difference she is over 1000 years old

A card on Google Now from a news paper I don't trust has said that the new Doctor is going to be played by:

Helena Bonham Carter


No idea if true, not sure how I feel if it is true.

I find they are a little like Jim Carey in that I can't stand the vast majority of his work, but there are a few gems that are among some of my favourite films.

I'm hoping for the latter, but fearing the former. (If true)

Penultimate episode!

Still enjoying it, and the energy is still there.

The bits with Jericho, Yaz, and Dan travelling the world were brilliant, and the guru was the comic highlight.
Too many loose ends to tie up next week, and I still don't care about the Timeless Child stuff (I bet the fob watch gets destroyed/stolen/eaten by SpaceDog), but I'm having a blast and loving it.

Not my words but sums it up.

A very sombre, measured series finale (or prequel to the 2022 specials depending on one's personal opinion). It was heartbreaking for Karvanista, the loss of his race, the way Jericho stoically accepted his fate was also very moving. I think we built up the characters of Bel and Vinder to be more important than they turned out to be because the series kept us guessing to its finale and there was so many fan theories flying round the internet. I do think they might return to the Whoniverse as is the case with the Grand Serpent.
We needed some humour and we got that with our chocoholic Sontaran caught with his hand in the sweet jar.

Hmmm.. mixed bag this one. It was fast paced, and after a long day of board gaming it was fun to unwind to.

Stuff I liked:
ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
Jericho's dignified ending
The Sontaran Sugar Solution
The triple Doctor - worked really well storywise and was fun to see the Doc's vanity manifest itself
Bell and Vinder got their happy ending


Stuff I didn't like
ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
So the Flux was sucked into Passenger, which is great, but, er, does that mean the universe
SpaceDog got over his post-genocide traumatic stress pretty quickly. But we didn't see it happen, and would have been just as acceptable for that line to have been a Sontaran mind trick and not kill the dogs.
I'd like to see the Ruth Doctor again but I'm glad the fob watch was thrown into the depths of the Tardis and hopefully we'll never get any more origin stories again.
Oh, and just a little thing, which probably doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things and all, but even though all the little lights of the Flux was swallowed up by Passenger, there's still the problem that 99.9% of the universe is missing.


I hope there's a SpaceDog spin-off in the works.

I loved that they did not explain if or how the universe was back. I am sure they will.

or

just not and let the internet nerds explode, as it was not all explained.

Eve of the Daleks

I enjoyed that. An interesting piece of plotting with a satisfying solution. It was fun, and that's all I really need this time of year.

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
I've never liked the gemstone Tardis, and was quite annoyed that it kept that look after rebuilding itself.

A few clunky lines, especially regarding Yaz's crush, but nothing that took me out of the moment. Not sure Daleks should be given exposition, however - they struggle with any material longer than a simple imperative.

It kept me amused. The time loop stuff was a great idea done well.

Legend of the Sea Devils

I was away over the weekend and didn't even realise there was an Easter special until it appeared on the front page of the Iplayer. Which is probably just as well, given how much of an utter mess it is.

It's certainly a visual treat, with lavish historical sets and costuming, although the sci-fi bits looked like they'd been hauled from O'Brien-era Crystal Maze and were a heck of let down compared to the rest of the design.

There's definitely good ideas here, but no actual development or progression but just endless jumps from issue to resolution to another issue to another resolution. It's as if someone just had to idea to take one of the long serials from the classic series and chop together the first and last 3 minutes of each episode. Kids probably won't care about this and just enjoy the spectacle (pirate ships! sword fights! cannonballs!) but it left me a bit empty.

The highlight was the single best pun I've heard on TV all year:

And the acting from the supporting cast was some of the worst I've ever seen on the BBC. The writing wasn't much better.

John Bishop is still really bad too.

It’s always been really variable in quality. There are some superb episodes, some absolute shite, and a bunch of “ok” in the middle. It gets treated with far more lenience than most other shows would be, for reasons….

Capaldi didn’t get many great stories to work with, and Whittaker hasn’t had any that I can remember.

Crikey, that was 8 years ago!

That’s another thing. Why do they struggle to put out ten episodes a year?

Probably a worrying symptom of how this show has fallen off my cultural radar (through no fault on the part of Whittaker I hasten to add) but I've only just remembered that there's a 90 minute special tomorrow.

I think you have just realised this too.

To illustrate my point, I actually forgot I even watched this, let alone posted about it. Still, it is a dam good pun.

If we don't get at least 50 minutes of Space Dog I will be very disappointed.

So according to the BBC article I've just read, Tennant isn't just doing a cameo. He's officially the 14th Doctor for 3 episodes. Amazing.

Still reeling from this. Will probably watch it again at some point but I really enjoyed it the ride.

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
Sacha Dhawan stole the show. His performance was superb: batshit malevolence at its finest. And having him play Rasputin was a genius idea, and a worryingly plausible explanation for the Mad Monk's grip on the Romanovs. But it was topped by his musical number.

I felt the initial meeting of the Doc with Tegan and Ace lacked the emotional impact of when 10 met Sarah-Jane, but it was fun seeing them and both were clearly relishing the roles, especially Sophie Aldred. The interaction with their holographic Doctors was charming.

UNIT remains a dysfunctional organisation and toxic workplace.

In the dream sequence, I squeed when 8 appeared, and loved his comment that he doesn't do robes. For someone with about five minutes of screen time in the entire run of NuWho, it's amazing how dam good McGann is as the Doc, and how we need that Eighth Doctor spin-off.

No Space Dog, alas, but the Ruth Doctor was remains a commanding force even as a hologram.

And I'm still reeling from the ending. Totally unexpected.

The Whoniverse is live from today , so basically all (existing) classic Who on the Iplayer (except the very first story) , all of new Who , and the spinoffs , plus some special 'Tales of the Tardis' with classic shows with some new 'in character' spots from the people involved (not watched any yet but have the first one set to go)

Just taken a look - that's a heck of a lot. Impressed that they are including the animated recreations of the missing episodes!

I think I'll enjoy dipping into some old stories across the Doctors whilst they're available, sightseeing the must-sees rather than watching sequentially!

Watched the first episode of the new era with a massive grin throughout.

There was a sense of joy throughout and really felt like the cast and crew had never left.

Looking forward to the rest, and to see how else they can use all that lovely Mouse money.

Loved the new Tardis, and Tennant's fanboyish glee in running around it.


(will probably add more to the spoiler/thread once I've rewatched it but for now just enjoying the glow)

Wild Blue Yonder was superb.

Proper scary haunted house in space. Loved the fact that we learnt what was going on along with the Doc & Donna.

I was so sure they were going to kill the real Donna and bracing myself for the gut punch.

The gut punch happened when Wilf came back.

I enjoyed it a lot and I've been slowly falling out of love with Who since the middle of Matt Smith's run.

The bump in SFX quality is quite a thing. You can really see where the Disney money is going. I reckon the days of wobbly sets and improvised costumes have been behind us for a while now, but the CGI in the latest episode is bloody seamless.

The bad guys were genuinely threatening and harkened back nicley to one of my favourite episodes: Midnight.

I've heard that the handover from 14 to 15 is going to be a bit more Timey-Wimey than usual, so I'm looking forward to that.

One more thing: Hoping that Jodie doesn't become persona non grata after this. It'd be great to see her get involved in some specials or anniversaries in the future. It's be great to see Capaldi in the role again, now I think of it

Bringing back David Tenant for more than a multi-Doctor episode feels like a real disservice to Ncuti Gatwa, taking all the attention away from what should be his moment.

That's a thought that I had, but I'm willing to reserve judgment until I see how the narrative leads in to Ncuti's arrival.

15 is going to be "pulled" back in time to meet 14. The version of 15 we meet will already be experienced and comfortable in their skin meaning 15 will be the confident, in control one and 14 will be the youngster. They will show 15's origin in a later story.

At least, that's what the rumour mills are churning out

At least, that's what the rumour mills are churning out

Nah, this wasn't very accurate

Is Ncuti Gatwa in it yet? I went off the show in recent years, but I think he’ll tempt me back in.

The Christmas special is his first full episode but he appeared in this one. And has a bigger role than the incoming Doctor normally does in a regeneration episode.
