...no worries... keep them coming!... do you mind if I ask you (and Nutmeg too if you could please)... on how you are seeing all of those episodes to review them?... do you have them on boxed set discs or are you watching them online?... I've been to Dailymotion to look back at the older episodes and also Youtube to watch some... trying to see them like that is such a hard ordeal... or do you have links to websites that I'm unaware of?... you don't have to tell me if you don't wish to by the way... I just thought that I'd ask... cheers.
 
...wow!... what a brilliant episode!... (yet again)... and now they've put on a Dr Who special straight after it!!!... it's the 'Doctor Who Earth Conquest World Tour"!!!!!... man I love the ABC!!!!!... those mighty legends!!!!!... more on today's episode later... I'm so revved up by this surprise!... awesome!.... cheers.
 
I have them all on DVD, I believe nutmeg watches them online so may be able to point you in the right direction.

I enjoyed that episode, especially Clara as the Doctor and all the shrinking TARDIS stuff which was reminiscent of classic series Logopolis.

I've seen that tour special before, it's well worth watching, great fun.
 
Just finished watching the world tour special, what a lovely program. I had no idea how popular DW is in places like South Korea and Mexico. And it was great to see so much love for Moffat, I think he is terrific: I know he doesn’t always get it right, but he mostly does and I love him … in fact, I prefer him to RTD. Watching this special, I really wished I was talented and created my own fan art, etc. Although I did used to write DW stories, they weren't very good though, lol.

The actual episode was amazing, again. Funny little TARDIS, Clara as the Doctor, great concept and clever solution.
So glad each episode airs three times a week. This program is so interesting that I often miss something while I think about what just happened. Concentrate, nutmeg.

Yes we are on a roll, we’re like the Margaret and David of Classic Who, lol.
Intriguing what you say about the next episode, you must know something I don’t … no change there, lol.

Thanks for the appreciation MrStickyFingers. I’m really enjoying watching/reviewing, glad you like it too. I stream the classic episodes online from http://watchseries.lt/serie/Doctor_Who_(1963)
I haven’t checked but I assume all the episodes are there. I hope you are considering joining us in watching/reviewing, even if only occasionally, the more the merrier!! (I feel like I’m recruiting to a cult … the Cult of Classic Who, lol)

I’m well jell of Meglos’ DVD collection. I actually have all the episodes on video from when Aunty aired them all about a decade ago (in fact I think that’s where a lot of the episodes I am streaming have come from). But I was overseas for the early ones, so my dad taped it for me while I was away and for some time after I returned, and we didn’t realise until much later that his recorder was dying. So now I have a box of corrupted classic Who episodes on tape, and I don’t even have a video player any more, lol. Thank goodness for the internet.
 
lol nutmeg, I love the idea of being the Margaret & David of Classic Who. Can I be Margaret? Does that mean we're going to have to start going "I loved it!" "Well I HATED it!"? I hope not.

Please do join in with reviews of any episodes you watvh Mr Sticky. Knowing you there might be hilarious pictures to accompany them.

nutmeg, I know how you feel about your old video collection. Before DVD I had them all on bought video, and before that I had as much as I could tape off TV, I still have the videos somewhere but no VCR.
 
Another brilliant episode! I found great joy in seeing the Tardis shrunk down! :D

AND heaven lady with the iPad! That was a bit creepy, but should be interesting! This series has really been flying past! It will be over before we know it! I DON'T WANT TO LET GO! WHY CAN'T iVIEW BE LESS SHITE! Oh I'll live.... barely. Ijust hope I don't miss the Christmas Special as my family and I are going to Tassie on BOXING DAY! Should be interesting!
 
omg that episode was sewww good. It handled a story that could have been cheesy really well.

But the next episode looks even better! aaaaah *fan girl pulling her own hair out*. Finally Pink is travelling with them.

And dammit @BigBrotherCritic beat me to the heaven iPad punchline.
 
OMG how friggin funny was the "Thing", moving the teeny TARDIS.

This was so much pure fun.
And it is very cool how Moffat is playing with how Clara perceives the doctor and his decision making, evolving Clara.

Love the world tour thing, and that we get a mention - Australia deserves it , we are very loyal DW fans.
Love seeing so many young fans, fans of all ages.

NOTE
Capaldi is appearing on Graham Norton tonight 9.30pm, 10
 
Yeah that iPad heaven scene was definitely creepy, was it implying Clara is next? I hope it isn't the end of her, I really don't want her to go. But like Tim, I'm excited about Danny travelling, about time. I think he's sweet.

And I agree that this Clara/Doctor relationship is interesting, Clara has become quite the liar.

And Thing moving the TARDIS was gold.

That's perfect if you are Margaret, because David and I both have the same favourite film. And we don't have to hate anything, in fact, we'd probably give everything five stars, lol.
 
When I went to the DW expo in Manchester a few years ago, you could climb in the back of a Dalek, talk in a Dalek voice and move it's gun/plunger. When it was my turn, my Dalek sang Singing' in the Rain, complete with swirly 'arms'. It was pretty funny, if not a little surreal. Of course, I had to do a few obligatory exterminates as well, lol.
 
The zombie 2d/3d monsters were pretty cool.
The teeny TARDIS is so a classic to add to the all time classics, this series is on fire, great stories. I think Moffat may have entered his good period, he's on a roll.
The TWODIS - ha,ha, ha
Alice in Wonderland, and the Adams family - I ate it all up like a delicious dessert 2nd time around.
Lovely doctor/companion juggling to sort out all the Clara emotional dilemma.
And that final vanquishing - woohoo, look out Peter is now a Doctor in command, that was an aweseome "I am the Doctor", epic moment.

This scheduling is so perfect.
1st up all excited, snuggled up in bed, awe and wonder and laughs and fantastic way to wake up.
2nd sunday night relaxing, and I can pick up nuances & all the bits I missed all warm and dozy, and it is just the right time to elapse.
My mind has enjoyed and digested and is now wondering about some bits.
Then after a week, saturday night is chill night, totally fun and I have read different DW forums and theories, and see if I agree.
And the package has every week had a nice extra to look forward to.

ABC I love you.

Oh and @nutmeg , did you ever tap dance? I love tap dancing,listening to it, watching it and years ago doing it.
Have been thinking about taking it up again for fitness.
Old tap teacher loved Singing in the Rain, think that was one of the few she approved of for not dubbing the tapping - mostly genuine foot acoustics or something.
I am jealous of your dalek experience:)
 
Still excellent on second watching.

I reckon Clara is literally addicted to action, like the Doctor. Last week when Danny was on the phone saying at least she was safe on the train, Clara said it was boring. And then she awkwardly asked the Doctor if he was addicted, before obviously lying about Danny being to blame for the glitch in their relationship. I don’t think that Danny is thrilled about Clara’s dangerous hobby, but he seems like the sort of guy to respect Clara’s decisions, so there is no need to keep lying to him, yet Clara does. And what do addicts often do … lie to their loved ones to hide how deep they are into their addiction. By Clara being the Doctor, she is even more entrenched in the world of danger and subterfuge, hence 'goodness' having nothing to do with her success this week. So how is this going to end, because Clara isn’t going voluntarily.

It was also good this week to learn that the TARDIS is both smaller AND lighter on the outside, and would splinter the Earth if it landed as its true weight. I often wondered how much it weighed when it is constantly being transported on trucks, cars and helicopters. And now we know.

Well better luck next time @Tim ! Hahahaha :D
I'm glad you are a Doctor Who fan! :D
 
What a great episode! Mini Tardis, never seen that before!

Anyone else catch the little throwback to the classic series with the door? When Clara told the Doctor to open the doors, he pulled a handle on the console, just like they did in the old days. Pretty sure it even made the same sound effect.

Great climax too, cool effects scene with the Tardis and then a great monologue from the Doctor.

And another great episode for Clara, it was literally about her taking charge and being 'The Doctor'. Love her. She's definitely my favourite companion from the modern series now.
