microdave Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I really enjoyed that. I remember John Bishop being in a Jimmy McGovern show with Sheridan Smith and he was brilliant so I've got no truck with him being a companion of the doctor. The way Jack left, saying he was going to see Gwen, does this mean a return for Torchwood? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I thought it was pretty meh, tbh. The plot was too easily resolved and there was no real emotional payoff at the end. I can't say the prospect of John Bishop fills me with excitement, but I'll give him a chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggy Snake Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) Thought the episode was generally alright but the plot was not great. The Doctor being jailed for 19 years (or whatever number they said) was swept aside to focus the companions having had 10 months chilling at home? Not to mention how a prison could be good enough to hold the Doctor for that long, only for Captain Jack to break her out in about 10 seconds flat (I know they claimed he took all those years just to set up the escape). It just felt like the prison part should have been worthy of an episode in itself. As with others, not bothered by Ryan leaving but I liked Bradley Walsh's character. I'd have preferred Yaz to leave too though. I can't say I particularly dislike her, I just find her one of the most nothing characters of any show I've watched regularly.

I like Yas but thought she was stifled by having too many people in the Tardis. Hopefully shines through a bit more now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenkins, chap with wings there, five rounds rapid!” That scene has stayed with me since it was first aired. The nonchalance with which the brigadier says the line makes it one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I lol every time I think of it, so thank you sir for cheering me up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 The Guardian's annual "Who should be the next Doctor?" article. Again, the usual Guardian suspects mentioned (Tilda Swinton, Richard Ayoade) plus a few flavour-of-the-month types. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/jun/22/from-riz-ahmed-to-michaela-coel-who-should-be-the-next-doctor-who 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's an outstanding actor and would annoy all the right people. Wouldn't mind Olly Alexander either for the same reasons. Never really been a fan of Richard Ayoade who seems to be mentioned every time they're looking for a new Doctor. He may be excellent though so would certainly give him a chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Alexander tipped today in the Guardian. Then again, Kris Marshall was the favourite last time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is, if they go back to a man then everybody who complained about casting a woman as the Doctor will say, "See! I told you so!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDP1179 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Problem wasn't so much the fact Doctor was female... It was the production team trying to push agendas on us rather than just tell good stories. Compared to the 80s, we had a good strong budget... wasted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, way too many historical and issue driven storylines. Although my sister who teached reckons it's the only way kids will learn about them.
