Doctor Who Series 8

I thought that was really good. Clara jumping into the Doctor's shoes and then feeling the weight of them, original and unsettling baddies, twodis.

When Clara and Rigsy jumped on the swinging chair and went through the window I was shouting "That's what I said to do!"


that bit produced an intersting phone convo :hmm: grunting
 
My favourite episode of the series, by a long shot. Had me up all night reading Flatland and generally having a crisis about my own dimensions. I should stop watching Dr Who whilst high as a kite... :D

IMO Doctor Who is designed to appeal to children and very stoned adults.
 
Yes, that bit made me laugh. Sour officious council jobsworth has no imagination at all so psychic paper doesn't work :D[/QUOTE//]
Seemed like a rehash of a character from the terrible fear her with added spite. At least we know now Missy isn't Clara. Woman from the shop I guess and possibly the person who arranged for Gus/ called on Gus's behalf at the end of the Big Bang.
 
Isn't that kind of statement the better for at least some form of quote? :)

Can't be worse than the Dr's recent form, asking black children if they have any shoplifting to be doing or insisting that black teachers must be involved only in physical education.

Like Father Ted - 'I hear you're a racist now Dr?'

It wasn't due to Danny being black that The Doctor keeps calling him P.E. It's because of the "soldiers become P.E. teachers" trope.
 
I don't know who played unpleasant asbo-supervisor-man but he was brilliant. I've seen him in other stuff before, he's really good and has a face like Admiral Adama, it's seen a hell of a lot of life.

Christopher Fairbank, from Auf Widersehen Pet, but he's been in tons of other stuff.

The Addams Family bit is one of the most epic things in the history of Who.

I know and I don't believe anything was intended by it.

Sailing close again last night with the initial assumptions of stupidity about the Grafitti artist based on nothing more than a look at him.
 
as MOTW goes this weeks one is the best of the series so far. Sergeant bash was just a bit shit.

second best so far is the one that caved peoples heads in.

Actually, I thought they played the whole "is it vandalism, or is it art?" question pretty well, with the vandalism proponent being such a Jobsworth wankshaft. :)

and of course, the day was saved by the graff.

as the day was saved when Mr Pink backflipped over sgnt bash

confounding in both cases the Doctors mistrust of the characters

Yup.

Talking of mistrust, I had a horrible moment of suspicion when whats-her-face said "I chose you well" about Clara, and prayed "please don't let whats-her-face be an evil future incarnation of The Doctor, complete with "unique" dress sense!" :eek:

She (Clara) is part of the army that's being carved out to fight against The Doctor in the final episode.

The Jobsworth was a terrible stereotype beamed in from the 1950's/60's. Pure 'On the Buses'.
 
might be something in that- the doc having to overcome his antipathy towards soldiers because he's going to need an opposing army

Seems unlikely as she is very pretty and the idea of her being on the wrong side goes against everything I understand about television as a medium.
 
Not sure if costume error, red herring, or deliberate, but the Doc was wearing a wedding ring for a while last night.
