El Loro, I hope you understand but yesterday I promised I would start a Dr Who discussion thread for us Doctor fans.  But thanks for that link about the 50th anniversary episode... very exciting!

I want to know how she got out of the dalek! Do you think we'll have to go the whole series before we find out?

 

I thought we were working back to front.

So she ends up in the Dalek.

That's what I thought - but you can never tell.   I just go with the flow where Dr Who's concerned

Well, it can't be as simple as that, as you also have to explain how she died in Victorian London as well (as we saw in the Christmas special).

 

A simple (and probably wrong) guess is that there are multiple versions of her from parallel universes, but yeah: I think we're going to have to wait till the end of the series to find out!

But in the Christmas special the Doctor realised at the end that she was the one  who had been in the Dalek and wanted to know how she got out. And tonight he made reference to her being a Nanny (it's very Victorian) 'just like....'

I missed her death, think I must have switched off !

Besides the Clara mystery there seems to be another mystery from yesterday's episode. I'll hide it below not to spoil it for those you haven't seen the episode yet. Use mouse to highlight the text.

The Great Intelligence seen right at the end was played by Richard E Grant who played the part of Dr Simeon in the Christmas special The Snowmen. There must be a connection between The Great Intelligence and Dr Simeon.

Looking forward to how it all evolves and the twist at the end was a good one...the writers are superb and have always managed to tie everything together so well, including Torchwood when it was on (I miss that too). 

Oh, I loved Torchwood too Mrs B.   As for Rory - you can always watch him being suspected of murder in Broadchurch for a few more weeks.  He doesn't suit being a Vicar though.  

 

I'm really liking Clara too.

Already watching Broadchurch...it's brilliant!!!! You're right, he's no vicar, but he is still cute...made me miss Rory, so had to get the dvds out!

And Matt was amazing as usual!  

 

I am seriously hoping that the rumours of him leaving at xmas are wronger than a very wrong thing...i got very wobbly lipped when I heard. He is my fave Dr ever...he has even surpassed Peter Davison and his leek!

it is, isn't it?  although... I think the Tardis should come into it somewhere....

 

I know! Even if it's a faint Tardis noise that just makes him look up!

haha - that would be class!    I just heard the rumour about Matt going yesterday - I hope it's not true either, but hey ho.... I was devastated when Christopher Eccleston only did one season, then they gave me David Tennant and i thought i'd never get over him going - but I love Matt.   I'm pretty sure it'll be in safe hands whatever happens.     If Steven Moffat ever goes though...

I was gutted when Christopher Eccleston left as well...he was so different...I liked Tennant but he seemed a tad too smug and up himself to me...though I did love any scene he did with The Cribbens...they were brilliant together! Matt just seem as though he was born to be the Dr...and he is brilliant with Alex Kingston, the chemistry is amazing.

Why do they all type like two year olds?  

Hahah! Yes, that annoyed me too!

It's that bizarre logic also used by Hollywood (e.g. "Swordfish") where the more frantic and random your key-thumping becomes, the more successful your hacking is!

 

It reminded me of a comment I read a while back from an amateur pianist, about how he cringed everytime he watched Sam (Dooley Wilson) thump the piano keys in "Casablanca". (In real life, Wilson was a drummer, not a pianist...)

  that's it in a nutshell!   

 

I'll pay attention next time anyone on film is playing piano now too - something else to annoy me no doubt.

So, Doctor Who has this sonic screwdriver which can open doors, control computers, be used as a medical scanner and probably many more things I have seen but not remembered.

 

But have you noticed that he uses it without making any form of adjustment, it always seem to get the results within a short time frame and he rarely looks at it for any length, which I would guess he would need to so that he could read and interpret the results.

 

...and I see no buttons or display.
