RISK! I'd probably end up saying 'We must dare to stop them' far too much. I don't think I've ever played Risk.
Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

I've not either - but I'm told it can get quite epic! I'm sure Jonno has partaken!

Banish me from the tribe of Doctor Who for heresy if you must but...
I just can't handle any more Doctor Who groups on Facebook getting themselves in a frenzy over this year being the 10th anniversary of the show.
But... We just had the 50th anniversary? It's the same show isn't it?
Rather than "timey wimey" stuff, let's have a series of cracking stories that look forward instead.
I can't see a 10th anniversary story happening* and rather than being around to see their disappointment crashing down, I'm keeping my distance from Doctor Who related Facebook groups.
Still like PS on Facebook. As least you lot are reasonable sane by comparison!
*= Besides, we've already had the 10th Anniversary show! It was called "The Three Doctors" and last time I looked it was perfectly fine as it was!

I agree, Dino. There's a clear difference between the 10th anniversary of the series, and the 10th anniversary of the return of the series.
Admittedly this 10th anniversary is a notable date worth celebrating in its own right, considering the fact that for a long time we thought we'd never see the series on our screens again. I just wish people would get their facts right about what they're celebrating!

I watched the end of The Power of Kroll last night, and the scene where they're going to be stretched to death is the first time (in episode chronology) where I can remember the Doctor ever admitting that he doesn't know something about science. He made up for it earlier by determining which planet he was on by gauging the wind speed. That scene also had the Doctor shattering glass with his voice. There's also the scene in "End of the World", where Nine can slow down time so he can walk through the fan blades or whatever those things were, which never happens again (think of all the times something like that would have come in handy).

That's probably why it doesn't happen again - another sonic/psychic paper device.

Was Linx the only monster ever taken from behind?
I've just got my handcuffs and my truncheon and that's enough.

Tom really should have had a better send-off than this jumbled mess about maths and entropy.

Should I make it a thread or not, but which Doctor had the best send off?
Colin sadly had the worst.
But as for best, it's a lot harder. Both Jon Pertwee and Peter Davison had a rip roaring adventure that didn't mention the Time Lords once.
Christopher Eccelston's was more a "That it?" and since then it's been spectacle after spectacle.
At least William Hartnell's was out of the blue.

Spiders has the double unforgivable crimes of being boring, and racist.

Sorry for not "reporting back tmw". Been a bit busy! Anyway, the show was stupendous! It was all Murray Gold stuff, no classics. Peter Davison was on fine form, cracking lots of jokes at Colin Baker's expense (in a loving way of course!) and we had various monsters coming out and parading themselves around. One girl became terrified when the Mummy from Orient approached her. Yep she'll have nightmares for quite a while now!

And if I was the performer in the costume, that's exactly the sort of thing I'd do! I still love it when the BBC showed the first Murray Gold orchestral gig and a man, old enough to know better, was clearly seen crapping himself at a Dalek! (Says the person who couldn't walk past a waxwork of the Xenomorph from Alien in Blackpool when I was old enough to know better)

Spotted this on the BBC News website (without a hint of a reference to where it came from):-

A few photos of some random Doctor Who locations recently visited, two of which are close to each other, and one which isn't:
Interestingly, there appear to be numerous quarries very similar to Winspit along the same section of the SW Coastal Path, such as this one which is now closed off to the public:

Still don't know what happened to the photos posted above, but anyway...
I've been catching up with 'All Or Nothing At All' on BBC I-Player, the Frank Sinatra series about his life given that it's the centenary of his birth this year, and they showed a clip from 'The Manchurian Candidate'.
Firstly, I had no idea he was even in it, never mind playing the innocent witness of the murder at the beginning, and secondly, I'm amazed at how verbatim the start of The Deadly Assassin is in terms of copying the same sequence in TMC - it's almost identical!
