Deep Breath was a fun episode but I hate Vastra. Don't mind the other two, though.

Is the beheading still cut out in the series 8 DVDs?

True fact: The Curse of Fenric is the best Doctor Who story that isn't Vengeance on Varos or The Time Meddler.

I've actually never watched the serial version of Fenric, which might colour my opinion. The movie edit is fantastic and adds some cut bits back.

As someone who sort of enjoyed Torchhwood, I'd like to say that anyone whose favourite episode isn't Countrycide is objectively wrong.

My first Shakespeare play was The Merchant of Venice...

I know your pain. Luckily I got to do Hamlet the year after, which I actually still remember.

Has there ever been another story where, like The Doctor Dances, everyone lives? Terminus maybe?

I assume you mean outside the new series, because "everybody lives" in like 3 episodes per series.

I think they should kill Vastra and keep the other two. That would be good.

The real list of objectively good Doctor Who christmas episodes is The Christmas Invasion, The Runaway Bride, The Snowmen and Last Christmas

the main problem with Kill the Moon and Forest of the Night isn't the bad science or that the main characters do nothing

it's that they're both really boring

Hot Fuzz is way funnier than Ghostbusters, possibly because I've watched the latter far too much.

For the sake of your own sanity, please don't try to watch every episode of Doctor Who. It's hard enough sitting through some of the lovely episodes on their own.

That is a very correct opinion.

I don't think it's that dependent on visual cues. They could get a decent story out of them.

It's about blinking. It'd be like an episode about a sound monster being completely silent.

I'd imagine that would be Jason X.

On a related note, I watched the first Friday the 13th movie for the first time quite recently and was quite disappointed. It's like Psycho except in reverse and also not good.

I've asked before and even got a straight answer, but I'm still confused: Is Vengeance on Varos good or not?

It's definitely the best Colin Baker story, and honestly it's one of my favourite classic Doctor Who stories overall.

"The Two Doctors" is entertaining.

Shockeye isn't quite as over the top as Soldeed, but he comes close.

The last episode of the Two Doctors is great but the first two are just utter misery.

I recently listened to Dust Breeding, an audio story featuring Geoffrey Beevers as the Master. It's the second time I've heard/seen Geoffrey Beevers as the Master (the first time being in The Light at the End), and I really can't say I like him very much. In fact, I absolutely hate his portrayal of the Master - he makes Eric Roberts look like Roger Delgado or Michelle Gomez by comparison. What do others here think of him? Also, does anybody know why he replaced Peter Pratt in Keeper of Traken?

Talking about cranky Doctors and nobody has mentioned the king of cranky Doctors himself, William Hartnell? Shame on you. My personal favourite Hartnell serials are the Time Meddler and the first episode of An Unearthly Child.

"Dalek" and "Into the Dalek" are, in fact, close enough that it still counts.

Fun Doctor Who fact: Dark Eyes 2 is really confusing

e: I really love the Viyrans, their design has a real "classic series" vibe to them.

I just spotted this on the Big Finish website: https://www.bigfinish.com/news/v/doctor-who-lily-arwell-joins-the-churchill-years

I'm not so sure about that. Here's the quote again:

I absolutely love Capaldi but Matt Smith is my least favourite Doctor so my opinions probably won't jive with big fans of his
