Maaan I couldn't believe them first thing they had the lassie do was fuck up the driving! *stomps out to my car with my Makita drill in a huff*

No.

I enjoyed it despite only seeing three episodes of Capaldi's Who.

What was the significance of the Captain's name? (I'm not a Whovian).

Lethbridge-Stewart. The Brigadier (pertwee era first, later met several of them) as he was ranked in the 70s headed up UNIT (nato for anti alien stuff and combating general wierdness). A well liked and long serving Who character. This captain will have been an ancestor

Ah! I'd heard of the Brigadier but had no idea what his name was.

I bumped in that too, but as was pointed out upthread it's happened before when the Doctor regenerates in the Tardis.

They should really stop regenerating in the Tardis.

I got this! Pleased with myself as a part time Dr Whoer, but one who grew up with the Brigadier in the 70s.

Surprisingly generous comments here. It was okay, there were some good and some funny lines, but there was just no tension. Was anyone surprised at anything? All nicely worked out, but nothing special.

Couldn't really follow it tbh, particularly the bit about trading the Captain's life for Bill's or whatever, there didn't seem to be any set up for that at all.

'Hartnell' didn't really have a role in the plot and was reduced to a comedy sidekick and a genuinely offensive one at times; a wasted opportunity.

Capaldi's final speech massively overwritten and overacted, a poor send off both for the character and for Moffat's era.

Still can't believe the wonderful Bill is being replaced by Bradley 'wasn't he briefly famous for something shit back in the 90's' Walsh. Was Brian Conley unavailable?

 

[Steel Icarus]

Tbf Walsh IS quite famous now cos of The Chase.

 

[Steel Icarus]

But yeah, Bill should not be going and not just because I lurrrve her.

 

[Santino]

Bradley Walsh was surprisingly good in Coronation Street some years ago.

I'm going to predict a heart-string-pulling exit for him in the next series or two.

It gives the writer/director of the next episode options, doesn't it?

He was also in Law&Order UK which I never watched.

Don’t you feel that was offset by all the comedy ‘the old Doctor is being old fashioned and misogynistic’ lols.
Oh how hilarious dumb he is. Let all laugh at old fashion misogynistic people (because ‘inside joke’ we all know the next doctor is a woman so it’s even more hilarious).

I suspect the crashing the Tardis bit was put in to deliberatly bait a trap.

When all the sexists come out with the oh so obvious joke the feminists get to point out well actually a man doctor did it first and feel great about scoring points off of the sexists.

Struck a nerve, eh

 

[HoratioCuthbert]

What's going on here :-D

I am clearly livid at the ending and didn't even think to make the women driver joke at the end such is the robustness of muh biopolitcs. Nah, we in the descendents of Cuthbert household all collectively pissed ourselves, all women bar 2. Brandy had been teen!

 

[Gromit]

Nope just pointing out “ah, see what they did there”.
We knew all along that we’re going to get a specific subtext over there being a female doctor.

They’ve started it before she’s even really arrived.

Hope they get it out of their systems as quickly as possible and just get on with ripping yarns. Brow beating on Doctor Who can sometimes be clever but is usually tedious even when clever.

To be fair it was her male incarnation who caused the tardis to blow, her being tossed out was the tardis's way of saving her, we know they find each other because of jodie's reveal scene.

 

[HoratioCuthbert]

Oh let it go! Talk about brow beating! Fuck sake.

 

[HoratioCuthbert]

I hope "The Gay Agenda" makes a reappearance soon. I am still not over the loss of RTD.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Yeah, but from a character POV... The Doctor needs to get a safe house or summat, or at least a Regeneration Room in the Tardis.

The door just needs to be shut like, nobody falls out at any other time.

I must say Frozen has truly ruined the phrase let it go, and ive not watched the bloody thing.

That's a great tune, particularly when performed by earnest 3 year olds and especially when accompanied by an edited version of Richard Spencer getting punched.

The door just needs to be shut like, nobody falls out at any other time.

How the door swung open inwards while clearly facing down is another mystery.

Whenever I point out weird plot failure, my 10 year old daughter reminds me "it's for kids daddy, just let me enjoy it". Tomorrow she is demanding a 'mushroom head' (Troughton) marathon.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Christmas present. My daughter joked she wanted a mug with capaldi and a sonic screwdriver with daleks in the background and her popping out of the TARDIS. She was almost moved to tears to see it realised.

And so your daughter joins the urban doctor who consensus.
