@HjRobins Personally I think the reality (since he’s had the Doctor use a great big gun) is that he didn’t want any Harry Potter comparisons. Rather than a gun, the sonic (and how each Doctor poses with it) resembles more a wand than a gun.

@WildBlueJacob I knew 14 of the cast, all of them had been in a few dramas over the years.

@Erdenetkulkanfc My head canon is that Delgado had his regeneration cycle removed by the Time Lords as punishment for his crimes.

@drborgle I find it extremely rewatchable whereas whilst I appreciate the quality of Caves, I can only rewatch that once in a while.

@Tales_TimeLord The Doctor is an ancient higher being. Their take on historical figures is going to be from a far wider perspective than humans can fathom.

@emma1293 She’s saying she’s always going to be open to returning just as David and Matt have said in the past. Why is it a problem for her to say it?

[David Bartleman @davidbartleman]

@Dene71 I’m sure it was BBC2 I used to watch it on back then.

@243_cal Plenty of heterosexual adoptive parents have abused their children. Same with step parents and foster parents. Oh, and family members. This crime is particularly vile beyond imagining but it doesn’t mean all gay couples should be tarred with the same brush.

@LukeyRead I like that they were doing something different away from the entirety of reality being at stake…but it was pretty disappointing.

[David Bartleman @davidbartleman]

@DoctorWhoPN I think it was decided before that. Anniversary day last year, we’re all waiting for the tiniest sliver of news and he posts a video of his boy toy mincing around the TARDIS. By that stage he knew it was over and didn’t give a sh@t.

@DrWhoOnline Don’t you dare come on here spouting your common sense and logic at us!!!

[David Bartleman @davidbartleman]

@Tales_TimeLord The balance is wrong. Why would this woman travel with this man? It doesn’t work. Think about Pertwee - he could be stubborn and unlikeable but you sensed Jo loved him and you could understand why. You can’t understand why Peri would like Six and these scenes highlight this.

[David Bartleman @davidbartleman]

@Dene71 Hah I always wondered why he didn’t do series 3!

[David Bartleman @davidbartleman]

@BadWilf I don’t think it was anything to do with schedules. I think it was the BBC wondering why sink more money into more cringe, why not just have a break as they get a new team in.

[David Bartleman @davidbartleman]

@WhoMinusContext It’s made the story become “Xmas Special Cancelled” rather than being about Who’s new future. Idiotic.

[David Bartleman @davidbartleman]

@TheGriftReport She’s long outstayed her welcome on TV screens. She’s beyond a parody of herself now and needs to be pensioned off for good. Invest in new talent rather than flogging a dead horse.

[David Bartleman @davidbartleman]

@timelesschild At this stage I don’t see the point of the Christmas special. Move away from the RTD2 era and start afresh with a new series.

[David Bartleman @davidbartleman]

@TheCyberdevil How many digits of Pi can it memorise?

[David Bartleman @davidbartleman]

@Jowsh_42 To be fair a lot of the science would be as well being magic spells so there’s a lot to the Doctor being a wizard.

[David Bartleman @davidbartleman]

@timelesschild I think a key issue for me is that the Doctor was just a bloke. I didn’t feel the quirkiness or the eccentricity of the Doctor and his outfits were just too ordinary.
