Hope no one else hasn't started one

cakebot River got to 1938 but the TARDIS couldn't. She said that it was because the vortex manipulator could sneak through

Doctor Who Official just posted on Twitter -

"The read through has just finished for the #DoctorWho50th Special!"

Looky here

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 01/04/2013 20:57

Ooooooh! Nice photo!

teejwood · 01/04/2013 21:09

You can see what River meant when she spoke about having multiple Doctors for her birthday [buwink]

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 01/04/2013 21:14

Lol!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 02/04/2013 10:58

The thing with the ages in the book starting at 9 - couldn't that be because she was 9 when she got the book?

RustyBear · 02/04/2013 12:24

That would fit in with the leaf being from the park...

LittleAbruzzenBear · 02/04/2013 16:38

Lost this thread, but found you all again! I thought the leaf was from the park where the Tardis was hidden.

Anyone else loving the nod to the old music?

teejwood · 02/04/2013 17:29

ood I just realised you said you were watching "Bells" for the 3rd time [bugrin]

Re souffles - I think Dalek Clara and Victorian Clara both said they liked making them, so your dd is right on that. And I think she had a cup of tea at some point during the Dalek ep but not all the way through.

Littlebear yes, I liked the nod to the old opening credits in terms of music and graphics [busmile]

SDTG agree that she probably got the book at 9, but was that the year she met 11 and who gave her the book?

Another thing that just popped into my head - Clara is nanny for this family whose mother died a year ago, no? Victorian Clara also was governess for a family whose previous governess died - a year ago. Could be coincidence, but... seems awfully convenient that someone pops their clogs, she turns up and sticks around for a year and then 11 turns up.... [buhmm]

teejwood · 02/04/2013 17:35

Just googled it - allegedly Dalek Clara had crashed on the Dalek planet a year before 11 turned up? Can anyone remember if that is true or not? Odd if true, no?

NoHank · 02/04/2013 18:27

Oh teej you are good. Yes I think you're right. I'm pretty sure Oswin says she has been on the planet for a year

Oodsigma · 02/04/2013 18:51

Ooh tee well done

teejwood · 02/04/2013 20:06

Thank you [bugrin]
But...but... that does seem to indicate that she has been placed, doesn't it? And does it also mean that the people she replaced were bumped off quite deliberately - which would add quite a tragic/sinister air to Clara's story...

Oodsigma · 02/04/2013 20:14

And by who? The great intelligence didn't seem to note any importance to him.

2kidsintow · 02/04/2013 20:24

Can anyone help me find the Christmas special? If I search for 2012 Christmas special on amazon, then I just get a link to the one from the year before (the Narnia type one).

teejwood · 02/04/2013 20:28

Oh FFS - DP has pointed out that Clara Oswin Oswald is "COO". He's now predicting that she's been planted by the Tardis in order to create a life for the Doctor post-the-Ponds.

RustyBear · 02/04/2013 20:28

The Doctor the Widow and the Wardrobe

GlaikitHasHerFizzBack · 02/04/2013 20:29

Coo??

EllenJanesthickerknickers · 02/04/2013 20:37

That's last year's, though, Rusty. I'm not sure if the one with Clara in has been released yet.

GlaikitHasHerFizzBack · 02/04/2013 20:41

available on pre order only

RustyBear · 02/04/2013 20:48

Oh, yes sorry, I was thinking of that one because of the airforce necklace thing.
Can't see the snowman one on Amazon as a DVD, but iTunes have it for £1.89.
They also have the prequels as free episodes - busy downloading now....

2kidsintow · 02/04/2013 20:50

Thanks Glaikit... Strange that they've released all the other Christmas specials separately, but that this one is part of the series set.

EllenJanesthickerknickers · 02/04/2013 20:55

I saw that one, but wasn't sure it included the Christmas special. Confused

teejwood · 02/04/2013 21:04

"Chief Operating Officer", Glaikit - the person below the Chief Executive. So whose "number 2" is she?!
We speculate too much in this household, obviously - and will be completely tied up in knots by the end of the series [bugrin]

BTW - Rusty- I meant to say earlier well remembered on the father/pilot from the "Widow" episode!

GlaikitHasHerFizzBack · 02/04/2013 21:11

Ah, I thought it would be something timey wimey, didn't actually think it would be C.O.O

louisianablue2000 · 03/04/2013 00:26

The Radio Times has a summary of each episode and River Song returns for the last episode of this series. The missing ages in Clara's book apparently correspond to missing episodes in Old Who (I did not work this out myself, I looked at some geek blogs). The lady in the shop must either be River or Rose I would have thought. There better be a bloody good story for Clara sinceit has been signposted so much, whereas the River Song story has been disappointing presumably because SM has been writing it on the hoof.
