"Lot of good times in this house, huh?"

There was a great scene between Will and Uncle Phil in the very last episode which always gets me. Uncle Phil calls Will his son.

It would be great if NuWho did a story featuring the First Doctor and his companions, with the cast from that 50th docudrama guest-starring.

I'd be more apt to blame (screenwriter) David Mamet for the whole "switching the juries!" thing, since Mamet does seem to have a pretty fucked-up sense of the judicial process. Hell, doesn't the plot of The Verdict hinge on Paul Newman (as a lawyer) proceeding with a case for his own sense of validation, whilst…

Yeah, for an audience at the time that had never seen or could not remember William Hartnell, Richard Hurndall's turn as the First Doctor was sufficient. But really he didn't look or sound much like Hartnell, despite all those near-identical Peter Haining books in the 1980s that proclaimed Hurndall's impersonation of…

According to - I think - Christopher H. Bidmead, Barry Letts chewed JN-T out during production of s18. I think it might have been to do with the stories being commissioned for the following season (Peter Davison's first) and with some scripts being deemed unsuitable, Bidmead needed to consult with JN-T, who had…

MANT!

"I, the Wrath of God, will marry my own daughter, and with her I will found the purest dynasty the world has ever seen."

It's amazing how Peel tried to re-write Who continuity in his attempt to make Evil of the Daleks the end of the Daleks. Didn't he resort to claiming that the Skaro that was destroyed in Remembrance of the Daleks wasn't actually the real Skaro?

The Lydon/McGeoch/Dias iteration of PiL was fucking great.

I think as long as we can all agree that Victoria and Zoe were the two hottest companions of 60s Who, we're good. Watling and Padbury both got nekkid onscreen in the 70s, but unfortunately Padbury did so in the context of a rape scene (in the pagan horror flick Blood on Satan's Claw, a movie which also features…

Wasn't the "sting" into the end credits something that was only supposed to be for Ambassadors of Death, but the effect was so good they decided to keep it as a regular thing?

Yeah, we never saw Victoria kitted out like this when she was in Doctor Who: http://happybday.to/sites/p…

My thoughts, after catching the animated Power of the Daleks in the cinema last weekend:

Assuming Power of the Daleks does well enough commercially, Evil of the Daleks would be the obvious next contender to get the reconstruction treatment…. But I'm just wondering, would the BBC bother to animate (the non-missing) Episode 2? I suppose it would look weird if the story is live-action for one episode out of…

You're really working, girl!

"Disney doesn't want to deal with the implications of Belle and the Beast as beast having sex—literal bestiality—even if it only happens theoretically and off screen…"

This movie can't be Mario Van Peeble's most risible connection to Jaws. After all, he was in Jaws the Revenge.

I love Paul Schrader too, and I feel like his screenwriting credits for legendary Scorsese films have left him sorely underrated as a director in his own right. Blue Collar, Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters, Affliction and (arguably) Auto Focus are masterpieces. And even Schrader's not-totally-great films have…

Heatwave is fucking awesome - "Boogie Nights" and "Eyeballin'" especially. And "The Groove Line." And "Central Heating"… What a band.
