So The Master will be back. I wonder who picked up the tooth. Could it be the same woman who picked up his ring many moons ago ?? although I dunno how she would have got there

That was his wife who died. I think it could possibly be the Rani(maybe). They would have had to be floating in mid air.
Just watched it, undoubtedly the best of the three.
It was great, right up until the new Doctor appeared. It was a bit on the nose that the new gay doctor should spend his air time running around with no trousers and tighty whities.
I stopped watching mid-way through Calpaldi, as it had just got boring. I didn’t watch Whitaker because I just didn’t like her as the doctor or her companions.
Tenant coming back has only reaffirmed, to me that those that came after weren’t as good but Smith did do a good job and came close.
I’ll give the new Doctor a go, see what happens.

Re: Doctor Who
15 being in boxers wasn't because the actor or character is gay. The outfit 14 had on was split between the two of them. 14th Doctor kept the undershirt, waistcoat, trousers and socks. 15 got the shirt and tie and shoes.

I know how it was split, but my assessment remains the same.

In fact, I’m not sure the BBC have used the "Christmas" word enough, as it’s only mentioned 13 times on the webpage…
(make that 18 times, if you include links at the bottom of the page…)

Re: Doctor Who
I’m surprised the BBC and Disney haven’t agreed to implement region blocking on their YouTube material, especially as the approach to marketing the show itself (as well as Christmas specials in general) is so much different in the US.

Disney likes Christmas just fine. People consume a lot of Disney product at this time of year. It makes them much moolah.
As with many things, the phrase ‘happy holidays’ is just a consequence of a language naturally developing and diverging from its roots. They say sidewalk, we say pavement. We say Christmas, they say holidays, which is derived from the Old English for holy days and has been in the language since the 16th century.
In American usage it tends to include advent (itself a thing in the Christian religious calendar) and has come to include non Christian religious festivals that also occur in November-December, principally Hanukkah which is Jewish.

Re: Doctor Who
Ive worked with Americans for almost 30 years and in my experience they have always referred to it as "Happy Holidays", and dont make as much fuss about Christmas as we do (they treat Thanks-giving much like we do Xmas, with family get-togethers, and traditional meal, and often taking the week off, not just the two days national holiday).

Re: Doctor Who
Great Christmas special. . Goblins were really creepy. Good cameos and an excellent song. The new doctor and companion look like they are going to give us some fun adventures. Roll on May 24

Re: Doctor Who
It was great to finally have the Christmas specials back. Fun episode and really interesting that they are clearly setting up a big running plot through out the next series.
