> I almost forgot about the new Doctor Who season. Looking at the comments, it seems it's not that good.
@commagray The first four episodes were pretty dull.
Also packed with social commentary, which is painfully obvious because of the overall weak execution including the said commentary.
But the fifth episode (the last one aired to date) was fun though. Pure fantasy, love it.
The influence of the Classic Doctor Who is pretty obvious too, but… the contemporary popular Internet culture references are still there and as strong as ever.
I was hoping they'll be gone with Stephen Moffat, but apparently not. Ugh, mediocre.
I will still tune in for the sixth episode of !drwho :-). Have a Jelly Belly and allons-y!

#TV looks so much better in black and white. As I very young kid, I would rather watch the Brady Bunch than #DrWho, until on a school holiday stay with my grandparents, I watched it on their portable B&W, and decided it was the most brilliant thing ever. Later, inspired by Woody Allen's late-70s monochrome films, I used to turn the colour all the way down on our TV. It makes everything look better. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/nov/08/uk-households-black-and-white-tv-licensing

#DrWho #2018 E01-05 tl;dr: Jodie Whittaker is perfect casting, stories have been mostly forgettable.

Really enjoyed #DrWho 2018 ep. 4. Coming together nicely. Special treat seeing that young lass from Dinnerladies again. As Yaz's mum. God, I'm old. David Tennant being a couple of months younger than me I could just about take; the increasing unlikelihood of anybody older than me ever being cast as the Doctor will take some getting used to.

#DrWho 2018 ep. 2 was a bit meh. Never doubted Whittaker's ability to fit the part perfectly, but the story was decidedly lightweight, and carried all the hallmarks of being filler in yet another series-long story arc. These didn't work on the couple of occasions they were attempted in classic Who and are a tiresome trope in new Who. Chibnall, who as a fan suffered through the trial of series 23 on initial broadcast, should know better. In the 45+ minute format, two-parters are with rare exception the minimum required to support a rewarding plot, and it's far more reasonable to expect a casual audience to watch two consecutive episodes than twelve.

#RIP Michael Pickwoad, production designer for the last 7 years on #DrWho, who cut his teeth on a little Handmade Film called Withnail & I. As Stephen Moffat says, gone too soon at only 73. http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2018/08/michael-pickwoad-1945-2018.html

@moonman And I've been worried about the partially lost !drwho episodes.

Looking forward to seeing the #DrWho new series premiere at #Sawtell Cinema tomorrow night, now that all the fuss has died down about casting the first Doctor from Yorkshire. It's the 21st century for heavens sake! And anyway, she's an alien; Gallifrey probably has _two_ Yorkshires.

So I booked to go with Em. I'm sitting between the only other two couples who are nerdy enough to have also booked. #DrWho

@tregeagle Ah! I hadn't thought to parse it that way. To be anoraky, I must point out that K9 was usually less electrical than intended. Initially it was because his radio control was on the same frequency as the studio cameras, but generally it was because his motor was so damn noisy. Much of the time he was pulled along on fishing line. There's an analogy there for life in general, but I can't think of what it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZgN5658H-I #DrWho

#DrWho series (not "season"!) 12 Blu-ray enters the charts at second place. I haven't seen Black Panther, but it must be bloody good to beat Genesis of the Daleks _and_ Ark in Space. http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2018/07/season-12-blu-ray-enters-charts.html https://hooktube.com/watch?v=yanNgk1bHY4

So last week I was reading about soon to be published novels and comics featuring Jodie Whittaker's Doctor and thought that obviously this requires sharing footage with many people, which in turn means some will be leaked. Days later, the #BBC throws a legal tanty about leaks. That's the inevitable price to be paid for getting in early on the merch; don't pretend to be shocked Aunty! If a single person is actually prosecuted, that would be seriously uncool, man. https://www.bleedingcool.com/2018/07/03/doctor-who-leak-bbc-requests-subpoena-ca-court/ #DrWho

When I was about 12 years old and finding Enid Blyton not quite so compelling any more, these books turned me into a lifelong fan and a devoted municipal library patron. Splendid. All of them. http://dwca.org.au/targeted-a-defence-of-the-target-novelisations/ #DrWho

#RIP Peter Miles, stalwart of 70s #DrWho. A mesmerisingly brilliant baddie, and by all accounts a lovely chap. http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2018/02/peter-miles-1929-2018.html

Why, when a time lord regenerates, does he/she often end up with a smart haircut? If, like a caterpillar/butterfly, every part of their body is reduced to goop and rebuilt from the cells up, why would they (re-)start with any hair at all? If I were Matt Lucas, and considering potential job opportunities a few years down the road, I'd be pursuing this line of argument. #DrWho

#RIP Rodney Bewes, #UK film and #TV's universal best mate. Bob Ferris in the Likely Lads and Billy Liar's Arthur Crabtree. Also great in Resurrection of the Daleks, a comparatively rare example of 80s #DrWho celebrity stuntcasting actually working. http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2017/11/rodney-bewes-1937-2017.html

#OMGA! Time to get back on my baby blue Nock & Kirby's dragster, and peddle like mad to the municipal library! https://whotopiamagazine.wordpress.com/2017/11/13/target-books-to-return/ #DrWho

Belated #RIP Dudley Simpson, #DrWho composer for most of the 1970s and a fair whack of the 60s, plus Blake's 7, the Tomorrow People, and many others. http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2017/11/dudley-simpson-1922-2017.html
