New Doctor reveal on Sunday

You’re right! It just clicked. The Rani showed up during one of my favourite doctors, Colin Baker - and they indeed were the odd couple. I’d often wished Kate O’Mara had come back as a reincarnation of the master. Always thought Judi Dench would have made a perfectly diabolical master, as well.

Colin Baker is also a favourite on Big Finish - he’s really good.

I had thought she’d make a great Romana. But this works fine. I think she is going to be fantastic at this.

You haven’t seen her in St. Trinian’s, then.

I don’t think it was as bad as everyone said, but it’s no Children of Earth. Worth seeing, at least. But COE was something special. Really heart wrenching stuff.

I agree about CoE. That was an awesome program.

I now wonder if Clara isn’t Susan’s mother. And I do not mean that the Doctor is her literal grandfather. I grew up with a lot of uncles i wasn’t related to, and my grandfather was my grandmothers second husband.

(Really, Clara and whatstername stole a Tardis. Susan clearly grew up in one, and the 1st doctor spirits Susan away from Gallefrei in his freshly stolen tardis. Clara’s last known destination - Gallefrei)

would be a neat trick.

For me it started after the McNeil/Lehrer news hour, which I would also watch?? And carried on through some BBC Radio4 Extra stories - so it’s all Audio for me.

also, and much less important, did you not see what I did there?

The Brain of Morbius is my favorite episode of all time.

Yes, truly one of the best ever. But damn all the crap we had to wade through to get that one amazing episode. Damn it!

Ah, that’s why she seems familiar (haven’t seen any Broadchurch, yet)!

…because a woman playing a 2-hearted time travelling alien just isn’t realistic.

My hope was for Hayley Atwell. She needs more fantasy genre work.

Agent Carter was amazing, Conviction was terrible.

So much slog for a peak experience. It was amazing because it was all Capaldi. Just him the whole time.

Seriously, that and The Green Death are now tied for best episodes.
