It's funny but when I first read the novelisation of this one (before I'd seen the episodes) I pictured Tom Baker in this. I hadn't realised that Sarah Jane had been a companion of both Doctors so I presumed it was a Fourth Doctor story. And either the cover didn't help me discover otherwise or...

Currently I've got Green Day's Revolution Radio album on high rotation.

Hopefully we'll continue to get more of him through Big Finish.

I was wondering when you were going to mention the dropbear. All of the other animals you mentioned are cuddly in comparison. Of course, most Aussies know the secret to avoiding dropbears is

Now I'm curious to know what the other story is :emoji_relaxed: Which is largely the result of JNT and Bidmead putting pressure on him to reduce the level of silliness that had been creeping in over the previous couple of seasons. And also the cause of Tom Baker's growing dissatisfaction and...

I really liked Martha as a companion but chainsaw_metal1 is right - the character wasn't well written for many of her episodes. Overall it was a far more consistent season in terms of quality than either of the previous two seasons though with the low point (the 2 dalek episodes) far better than...

He managed to capture the innocence and excitement of a new body together with the weariness of old age perfectly.

Something's trickling down alright. We're being showered in gold :emoji_alien:

I think a fair amount was cut from this to get it down to three episodes. The novelisation, which I read before seeing the episode, goes into a lot more depth and is pretty good. When I finally got around to watching the episode, it only made sense because I'd read the novel. The atmosphere was...

You'd think they'd learn wouldn't you? But we're doing the same thing here. Tax cuts for businesses to boost the economy? My sister (who owns a small business) is already planning another overseas holiday. No extra staff for them.

A bit hit and miss as the cast and crew found their feet but overall this was a great reintroduction to the series.

Bit of both really. We had the highs of Girl in the Fireplace and The Impossible Planet and the lows of Love and Monsters and Fear Her. We also had the degeneration of the Rose/Doctor relationship into a teenage romance. For me, overall on balance, if I had to rank the seasons, this one would...

I've got a brother-in-law who thinks it was a government conspiracy. Not that the government planted bombs to blow up the buildings, but that they sponsored the terrorists and ensured that they were able to achieve their goals by ensuring they weren't searched properly before boarding...

I suspect that the answer is probably a bit of both, depending on who has been using it and for what purpose. "Christians" used the Bible to justify slavery, the Crusades, the Inquisition and recently to try to deny rights to homosexuals. But they also developed hospitals and schools because of...

I generally find the whole thing quite entertaining. Until I remember just how much power these people actually have.

Sylvester tends to end down the bottom end in my list of favourite Doctors. Not because he did a bad job in the role, but simply because the production values of his era were pretty awful and, as an older teen at the time his episodes aired, I tended to look down on them as a bit childish and...

There's just no quality at all any more.

It doesn't look bad overall, but it's definitely not K9. It always frustrates me when someone decides they want to make a TV series (or movie) with their own ideas and then feels that they've got to use a "known" character to get an audience but don't want to actually use the character. As a...

They're all good in their own way. But I prefer when they began using the "shriek" at the beginning. I'm less keen on the one they started to use for Sylvester McCoy which I felt sounded a little to "pop". I've enjoyed the more orchestral versions of the new series as well, especially (once I...

Yeah I wasn't aware of it myself until I looked into it. I still usually skip ads but for a few creators I'll make an exception and endure the ads (usually with my volume muted and averting my eyes for it's duration).
