I think the Doctor has mellowed since his epiphany in 'Death in Heaven' that he's "an idiot". I like it that we get to see Capaldi just be the Doctor - eccentric, curious, excited - without laying on the darkness too thickly. On the other hand, Whithouse didn't write any episodes last year, so maybe he just wrote the…

Well, polydactyly affects 1 in 500 people, so it there must be about 14 million such people in the world, as compared to about 4.5 million Irish people…

Well, he was a pretty big wheel down at the cracker factory.

Nah, it's just you. The rest of the internet doesn't really concern itself with such things anyway,

Testicular cancer rarely presents with pain. If its affecting both testicles and has been going on for some time without any lumps becoming evident, then it's very unlikely to be cancer. Consult a urologist : they'll likely recommend some medications, but I'm afraid that this problem is notoriously difficult to treat…

The best of luck to you. I hope it all works out well.

How much would a woman enjoy cunnilingus that she knew was being provided grudgingly, without pleasure? I don't think it's just her own lack of orgasms that's frustrating her : it's her husband's lack of interest.

Nah, there's going to be a review of an unreleased album next week ; Electric Dragon's just getting his piercing jokes about it in early.

I think the Eleventh Doctor comes across as significantly flawed, though ('The God Complex' is the episode that most obviously dwells on this). He can be reckless and flighty and untrustworthy, and this seems to be acknowledged in the writing , whereas I almost always felt that we were being implored to adore the…

Zaphod, he's just this guy, you know?

This is the worst review Todd VanDerWerff ever wrote!

What I enjoy about the gay jokes on 'Sherlock' is that no-one who thinks John and Sherlock are gay actually seem to mind ; they all accept and approve of it. I'm not sure whether that still falls under the heading of "gay panic", but it's got to be better than old-fashioned "Backs to the wall, lads!"-style jokes.

Freeman was superb in this episode, particularly when he first recognises Sherlock in the restaurant. And, yes, that reprise of "He's my friend!" from 'The Reichenbach Fall' really cuts me to the core.

There was a reference to 'The Creeping Man', when Holmes exclaims "Monkey glands!". There's also a connection to 'The Adventure of the Empty House' that I densely didn't initially spot. Being Irish, I read the name "Moran" with the emphasis on the first syllable, so it took me a while to realise that the villain…

Yea, why assume that the nephew is the one misinterpreting signals here?

"All right, penis, I'm just going to go like this, adn if you get masturbated, it's your own fault!"

Taking things slowly isn't necessarily cruel teasing. That doesn't excuse, though, assuming that any straight man should convulse with ecstasy as soon as she puts her hand somewhere in the region of his penis.

She puts her hand down the back of his pants.

The first letter-writer doesn't seem like an idiot, though I can't say the same for her husband.

I suspect that the "writhing" the other men have been doing was a way of trying to get a handjob out of her. Her current boyfriend is either too shy or too respectful of her wishes to do so.
