Well there are also potentially another 8 previous Doctors from The Brain of Morbius (although later canon has tried to deny these) so maybe we're actually up to the 24th Doctor?

I'd tell you to stick that in the heart of your bottom, but you might take that the wrong way.

That makes me feel much better after my 48th birthday last week. I felt like I was getting old but know that I know how positively ancient you are I feel young again. :emoji_wink:

Technically Jodie is the 15th Doctor, given we've now officially got the War Doctor and two incarnations of David Tennant's Doctor, making Matt Smith the 13th and Peter Capaldi the 14th. I'll happily admit to having no preference for the role. Male/Female/Young/Old - as long as it's a good...

You're just getting old, that's all :emoji_grin:

And the movies so far haven't deviated to that extent for you?

What about these Doctors (plus the Master and a new companion)? The Curse of Fatal Death was originally written as a parody but since Stephen Moffat has taken charge of Doctor who, many of the "parody" elements of this story have become canon.

I'd be happy to see him continue in the role. Justice League, for all its flaws, finally had him acting like Superman and I'd definitely like to see more of that.

Well I'd absolutely watch that.

Time dilation is a possibility, but I think an unlikely one. The fact that they didn't arrive until after the London suggests that, although they clearly travelled at an unexpectedly high speed, the full 8 months have passed. So either they've travelled at the same speed as the London or (more...

I have to say, on this issue I agree with Avon. I don't think that, with Blake leading, they will have a safe or quiet life. And I doubt there will be another opportunity to retire rich.

Another enjoyable episode, even if it doesn't quite live up to the standard of the previous couple of episodes. An interesting concept of using the introduction of religion as a way of controlling the population and the idea of "creating" a disease to add another level of control (through the...

I'm not sure you could honestly say that all of Ian Fleming's books have been adapted into official Bond movies. Sure they've used almost all of the titles but many of them bear little (if any) resemblance to the stories they're supposedly based on.

It's the Rosa Parks of cats

In my opinion, that's the perfect reason to ban fan fiction. I don't have any particular objection to the story as such (although it's not something I'd personally read) but it's just bad writing generally and has lowered the standards of what people should expect when reading a book.

Yeah but you'd have to wonder how likely it is that it would work. The first human trial, 8 years, with no supervision or ability to intervene if something doesn't quite go right? If it had been a planned test it would have started with a short term test under controlled conditions and careful...

Can anyone tell me if the continuing Bond books are in the style of Ian Flemming's Bond? Or do they follow the movie Bond? Because they are very different characters most of the time.

An oxymoron if I ever heard one. I'm reminded of a Monty Python sketch (which unfortunately I can't find now) with an army general on the phone explaining that he doesn't know, couldn't possibly be expected to know, and really doesn't know. Then he hangs up and the phone rings again and he...

That's a guaranteed losing battle. Give up now!
