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

same here. saddos that we are Grin.

didnt like Peri just trying to remember the old ones.couldnt stand Mel or Tegan.

i liked the male companions (and not because im a female!) Jamie, Mickey, Rory, Ian, and Im prob the only one that ever liked Adric(!)

Frasier Hines (Jamie) wants to return to the Tardis, he said in a n interview. how fab would that be?

Im bloody mid-forties and im as excited as my 12 year old! we're like 2 little girly girls tonight with this!!!!

okay time to call the men in white coats.......

Did anyone else think of River with all the talk of downloading people?

It was the first thing I thought of at the beginning. I mean I'm sure it was a completely different process but it certainly reminded me of her and I wouldn't have been surprised if she had been referenced in some way

OhYouBadBadKitten · 30/03/2013 19:22

Tegan was grim!

I want Matt Smith to strike my hair. Though I'd be cross if he gave me half a jammy dodger.

Asheth · 30/03/2013 19:22

I thought of River too! I wonder if she'll ever be back?

Loving having Dr Whop back. DS (aged 4) and I snuggled down together to watch it. he loved the plane!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 30/03/2013 19:25

Aren't we lucky to have the longer episodes nowadays. Remember when it was only 25 minutes long and you'd waited all week. Half the episode was a recap of last weeks too.

Last weekend we watched the City of Death on virgin. We watched all 4 episodes one after another. When I was a kid it would take a whole month to see that. Told dd and she was horrified!

gingeme · 30/03/2013 19:27

Ellenjane Amy is a real ginger !! Sorry not a fan of Billy Piper .

GlaikitHasHerFizzBack · 30/03/2013 19:35

So have we seen the last of river then?? I don't think that story is finished yet.

greencolorpack · 30/03/2013 19:39

I loved tonight's episode, I think Matt Smith was adorable enough to (almost) be fanciable.

YoullNeedATray · 30/03/2013 19:39

I'm wondering if Clara is 10's daughter, Jenny.

Talkinpeace · 30/03/2013 19:53

I knew Ace as a kid

Pixel · 30/03/2013 19:57

I LOVE the Doctor's new coat! New Tardis is ok I suppose...though he seems to have lost his walk-in wardrobe.[bgrin]

A very good episode and Clara wasn't as annoying as I expected.

Pretty sure WIFI wasn't invented when Celia Imrie was a little girl but we'll gloss over that.

Did anyone notice the book Summer falls was by Amelia Williams? (that was DD not me).

gingeme · 30/03/2013 19:57

Ooh tell us more talkinpeace Smile

Pixel · 30/03/2013 19:58

Oh it's meant to be bu for a bunny [bugrin].

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 30/03/2013 19:58

Well...landmark moment in this house.

first time we all sat down to watch a brand new episode together as a family [busmile].

Very happy!

cardibach · 30/03/2013 19:59

Leela was always good value as a companion.
I enjoyed tonight's episode. Bless him with the water and Jammie Dodgers :)

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 30/03/2013 19:59

You'll - they've snogged, so perhaps not.

YoullNeedATray · 30/03/2013 20:01

Good point Alibaba! She's bound to reappear at some point though ... hopes...

Pixel · 30/03/2013 20:06

Laughed at "Earls Court was an embarrassment" because we went to see the Dr Who exhibition there. [busmile]

marjproops · 30/03/2013 20:18

wow, Amelia Williams! the book. no, didnt notice that, well done Pixel jr

EllenJanesthickerknickers · 30/03/2013 20:20

I guessed the were referencing the Doctor Who exhibition! [bugrin]

MyOtherNameIsFunnier · 30/03/2013 20:36

LIttle snippet I picked up:

Souffle girl mentioned a Nina (I think as her hot lezzer action in her youth...)

MOdern Clara's teenage charge was going to Nina's house.

Coinky dink or not?

(I only picked it up because my friend's DD is Nina)

MyOtherNameIsFunnier · 30/03/2013 20:37

From Tardis wikia:

Nina (Asylum of the Daleks)

Nina was a girl whom Oswin Oswald fancied, or possibly even dated. Oswin stated that she was "going through a phase."

While shipwrecked on the ship Alaska in the Dalek Asylum, Oswin told Rory Williams about her, and began calling him "Nina," after her. (TV: Asylum of the Daleks)

MyOtherNameIsFunnier · 30/03/2013 20:38

And yes yes to Amelia Williams, loved that.

I'm sure it's all important. God I've missed this, second guessing and spotting stuff.

ThreeBeeOneGee · 30/03/2013 20:44

Didn't the Great Intelligence see an old tube map from the 1960s at the end of the snow one? If that's where and when it ended up, Celia Imrie's character would have been quite young. It does seem to choose a child as its primary servant and then wait, gathering power as they grow to adulthood.

Oodsigma · 30/03/2013 20:49

I posted about the book ^ [pouts] [grins]

I was wondering who gave her the Drs number.
