May I present the case for Michelle Gomez (Missy) as Granny Weathereax in a few decades time?

That's what I was thinking too.

 

[David Brown]

Is she really tall enough?

Not that I can talk. I cast a tiny woman in the part on stage, but she did it pretty well!

 

[DaveC]

She seemed pretty tall in Green WIng, I've been a fan since I first saw her in that in 2004.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

That was the 6"heels she is about 5'3 or 4"tall also she was really good in the The Book Group.

 

[DaveC]

True, true..Book Group was great too, though I watched that way later on 4od

Excellent idea. The odd tweak in make-up would age her just enough to be perfect

 

[Jack Remillard]

Well, that was a big downer, but I thought it was good. Poor Osgood!

That's what I thought! I really liked her.

Watched the topic a little. Interesting, intriguing. And looking very closely like "The X-files" (as for me) which is one of my mystic-SF favourites. + anyway

Doctor Who and The X-Files have not that much in common (well, except a bit during the UNIT years, anyway). Doctor Who is, as insane as it sounds, about the adventures of an alien who travels through time and space in an obsolete time machine disguised as an equally obsolete form of telephone booth.

 

[Quatermass]

I've started watching the rest of the eighth series. Robot of Sherwood didn't do it for me, but Listen...it has to rank amongst the best ever Doctor Who stories. Cerebral, atmospheric...it's a damned good story.

BTW, anyone wonder what happened if you mashed up Doctor Who with Guardians of the Galaxy? Well, wonder no more...

What did everyone think of the Christmas Special?

It made me get out of bed and eat 2 tangerines!!

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

It was OK, but a little bit jumbled in parts.

 

[chris.ph]

i liked the alien analogy

 

[Tonyblack]

Me too Chris, but I'm glad that they pointed out that it was like that. If they hadn't I dare say people would complain that it was an Alien rip-off. I also couldn't help thinking of the dromes in Wee Free Men.

 

[The Mad Collector]

I loved it, need to watch it again

 

[Ghost]

it had more endings than The Return of the King but slightly less endings than a Chose your own adventure book :/

 

[Sjoerd3000]

Still haven't watched all the Capaldi episodes :shifty:

The last episode I watched was flatline :whistle:
