The Choad In God's Eye

Part 2:

The Prick Who Never Was

Part 3:

The Ura Monster

Conclusion: The NOAIM Knot

I just listened to a couple interviews with JW -- what's her accent?

she'ws working class northern. So yorkshire isn't it?
Eccleston seemed to like her because of where she came from

I'm going to go with "marvelous"

Skelmersdale/Dewsbury - very working-class area.

She is great and I've loved her since Venus.

Meanwhile, I'm still crushing madly on Michelle Gomez:

LOL at no-one reviving this thread re companions announcement a few weeks back. Poor old Bradley.

We need a new thread because: new show runner

mork and mindy vibes from that sweater / braces combo

I need an opinion from someone with a better understanding of fashion and style than me (which is probably 95% of the world) but it seems to me that the coat isn't very well-matched with the rest of the outfit?

Although I like that they've resisted the urge to make the first female doctor more "dignified"

Definitely female Fifth Doctor.

Like the outfit, like the casting, like Bradley Walsh. The only worrying thing is that Chibnall is one of the most vanilla Doctor Who writers post-2005.

Oh man I am never going to not be able to think of Mork In A Mac now, it's so true

That, or that she's ready at all times to take some preschoolers out on a field trip

Before this gets misinterpreted, I mean this as a compliment, this is great stuff and a nice 180 from Capaldi. Very Bakeresque

If you'd like to scrub the Mork association from your brain:

aw <3

too many endings but i liked that a lot

The last man Doctor mansplaining how to be Doctor Who to the new woman Doctor was a thing.

it was a bit ‘everybody’s free (to wear sunscreen)’ tbh

moffat just has to be moffat doesn’t he

I think this was an admirable end to Moffat's run. For Moffat it was actually relatively sedate and thoughtful. Could have done without the dalek retread but otherwise, spot on, and nice to see Clara again since I am in love with Jenna Coleman.

it was decent right up to when moffat the doctor lectured the audience whittaker chibnall the bbc himself fuck knows who for five minutes

Yeah, that was a bit pish, but the rest of it was pretty good.

the end of End Of Time sucked but it was the most popular Dr Who ever so Moffat has evidently felt he has to reenact it at every opportunity. I wish he wouldn't but I loved 60% or so of this

as soon as I saw Gatiss I thought "o fuck don't let him be the Brigadier's dad"

so the lesson is you can get what you want and still not be very happy

lol

haha

Bradley Walsh to become brigadier's dad if my inside sources do not mislead me

the transition from hartnell to david bradley at the start was fantastic

and bradley was great all the way through, obv

as soon as I saw Gatiss I thought "o fuck don't let him be the Brigadier's dad"

Well he was his grandad so you got away with it. I was filled with the crushing inevitability when he said he was from Cromer.

not sure why people are bothered by that, of course he was going to be

Well he was his grandad so you got away with it.

yes, there was a second sentence in my post

Lol embarassing and hacky fan service

disappointed that the bbc1 trailer from months ago had more jodie whittaker than this did

I noticed the lack of a preview of the new doctor's adventures how long is it before she gets a full debut?

i'd been hoping for the spring but then I looked things up yesterday and they haven't even started shooting yet, so autumn at the soonest

got nerdily annoyed when Capaldi referred to Hartbradleynell regenerating

why?

just bcz I hoped they wouldn't use the term, in order to be nerdy 🤓

This was good. I assume the cliffhanger ending has already generated a parade of “jokes” about how women can’t drive

The running joke regarding the First Doctor’s sexism paid dividends though

This was good. I assume the cliffhanger ending has already generated a parade of “jokes” about how women can’t drive

The end was too much like the Matt Smith intro. Hey Doc why not regenerate outside of your TARDIS on land so it doesn't blow up? Then just change the desktop theme later.

Better still why not try and keep the main star of yr flagship tv show tied down for longer than a couple years lol

maybe bcz that’s never how this show has worked?
