That scene reminded me so much of The Mask, I loved it.

Another great episode. Two in a row? Chibnalls on a roll. I really want to know more with what gives with the TARDIS right now. Having the TARDIS as an almost omnipotent being in itself acting alln out of whack is intriguing. You can tell its in big trouble with the constqnt ringing of the cloister bell. One thing I have a small gripe with since Nu Who began is the lack of TARDIS orientated stories (apart from that one episode where the barmaid from Coronation Street decided to have an adventure)

Her name is Rose

what episode was he talking about?

He was talking about it having come back from being off the air, so presumable Trial of a Time Lord.

How did they speak in this episode? Did they have their own voices or was it another Angel Bob situation?

Winking helps but it still doesn't satisfy your brain's need to blink, at least for me.

Since when have scared people ever made rational choices or had a clear head with which to think with?

The horror genre would be a ghost town

No you're thinking of Under the Lake.

The angels cover their eyes so they don't lock each other like happened at the end of Blink.

Lungbarrow was not cancelled, per se. It was the first draft of Ghost Light. They very wisely said "if we set this on Earth and make the spooky house Ace's backstory rather than the Doctor's, it will be filmable."

This explains a lot about Ghost Light.

I think it was always just the one universe, although people marooned in an another one were involved. Which incidentally... did the Division not notice that there is at least another universe with a Doctor gallivanting around?

Also looks like the new year’s special is going to have a time loop as part of the premise. Has Doctor Who ever done that before? I don’t recall.

It's Big Finish, but The Chimes of Midnight.

Especially after they worked so hard to show how un-christ-like the doctor is and can be. There's no Warchrist.

Well...

Okay, no future docs, but was she splintered across the all-Doctor's past, or just through 11's?

Pretty sure we saw her in a bunch of Doctors' pasts, including directing One to our TARDIS instead of the one he was about to get into.

Clara only went back to moments the Great Intelligence hosed with, so there's that to consider too. Maybe it couldn't go back any further because it didn't know where was any further to go?

The top of the BBC, and especially in their news division, are stuffed full of Tories. They were so biased against Corbyn's Labour, it was insane.

It's definitely not confined to the news department though. This is from just yesterday:

If amazon kills a few people its not that big a deal, deep down amazon is the good guy.

That was bad, but it's unlikely that it would directly cause as much harm as "hey kids, don't take your meds, the voices are real and they need your help".

I recall people getting upset at Dark Water for the "don't cremate me" line, arguing that it would be insensitive towards those whose loved ones were recently cremated.

That's a spooky concept (and a deceptive part of an evil scheme cooked up by the villains). ITFOTN's denoument is the Doctor, our hero who's basically always right about everything, practically looking into the camera and going "If your kids are hearing voices, it's because they really are being contacted by the fairies, don't give them antipsychotics".

Haven't they done Daleks with bullets in the classic series? Some technobabble handwave said their guns don't work here, so they had to stick machine guns on while they fixed it or something.
