Dr Who

Neil Patrick Harris clearly having an absolute hoot playing The Toymaker

You should see him playing Count Olaf, then - more hoots than a flock of owls at an owl convention.

3 pages over 2 weeks and this hasn't been added. I'm quite disappointed in you lot.

NPH is just glorious. I hated Doogie Howser but it's a bit Wesley Crusher Syndrome. Amongst other things he's a consomethinge magician, all those card flourishes etc were likely him rather than a stunt double.

The Google :), that was amusing.  I'm not a great fan of ToyMaker type parts but that was acted exquisitely 

What do you mean by "ToyMaker type parts"?

That sort of character where you have someone who makes diabolical machines and is a boss level player while pretending to be child friendly and open.   It always feels like a lazy way to introduce a serious opponent

Edit:lazy is the wrong word here.  It just feels like a device that jars a bit

Enjoyed that

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Episode 1 was terrible, 2 was ok, 3 was actually quite good.

Episode 1 was fantastic and everything I look for in dr who - on-earth, human stories, likeable relatable normal characters, minimal spaceship type stuff 

episode 2 was meh but a good meh

episode 3 was great - they pulled out all the stops. I still personally prefer the more ‘on earth in normality’ episode 1 type stuff tho. 

I enjoyed Ep. 3 but I did feel that the final game was a bit of an anti-climax. Also the Doctor's rant about how nasty humans could be seemed a bit out of character, however accurate it might have been.

It’s about time we had a dark one.

Sorry. Had to giggle.

I actually thought that was Alexander Armstrong.

Doogie Howser? Blimey.

Just watched Unleashed and RTD has kind of poopooed some of that.

You made me go and check out the behind the scenes…

Well, ridiculous but I quite enjoyed it. He'll be a good Doctor, I think.

I don't really think he played the doctor well. He's too Eric from Sex Ed, which is too be expected and I like that, but I think he'll need to warm into the Doctor role. 

Caveat; I have only recent started watching DW since Peter Davidson says as my 8yo has been bingeing on the Matt Smith series, which I like. Today's wasn't up to scratch IMO.

I've never seen Sex Ed so I don't have that problem

I’ve seen Sex Ed, there’s of Eric in his performance but also a lot of Tennant. 

Thoroughly enjoyed that episode but left wondering who Mrs Flood is. 

That was a good one - looking forward to the next series. Silly, but fun.

Perfect first (and Christmas) episode. It’s going to be good this, isn’t it.

Lots of theories that

Plus...

Both good theories that I will pass off as my own to my Dr Who obsessed son.

Thanks.

Thought the Christmas Special was excellent in a silly sort of way. Looking forward to see where they take the plot lines.

Then you also might want to add another? 

That
