23 Oct 18 - 05:48 PM (#3958022) Subject: RE: BS: Dr Who Woo Woo From: DMcG I have to admit I was concerned how they could make 'Rosa' - alien shoot-'em-ups in such an important event? But I was completely wrong;' it is excellent. I particularly liked the uncertainty in Graham's face during a specific few seconds, as he has to fight a whole mass of conflicting feelings. |

23 Oct 18 - 06:51 PM (#3958030) Subject: RE: BS: Dr Who Woo Woo From: Jeri I thought it was really good, but I wish they'd had some sympathetic white person. Not everybody was a bigot. Would've loved if that older couple had turned out to have tattooed numbers on their arms, and maybe only warned them. Still, it was good. |

26 Oct 18 - 08:14 PM (#3958626) Subject: RE: BS: Dr Who Woo Woo From: Dave the Gnome I'm in Florida for 2 weeks. How can I watch the next episodes with no access to BBC iPlayer? |
|
26 Oct 18 - 08:54 PM (#3958627) Subject: RE: BS: Dr Who Woo Woo From: Nigel Parsons As you're resident in UK BBC iPlayer should still have them when you return. If you've taken a Netflix account you should be able to access them anywhere, by computer. When I was in Canada (ten days ago) they were advertising the new series almost at the same time as UK, this might also be the case in US. |

27 Oct 18 - 09:44 AM (#3958702) Subject: RE: BS: Dr Who Woo Woo From: Big Al Whittle I stopped watching DR Who, after the 2nd episode. I thought William Hartnell was better in Carry on Sergeant. |

27 Oct 18 - 12:43 PM (#3958753) Subject: RE: BS: Dr Who Woo Woo From: Dave the Gnome It was the Army Game I think, Al. |

27 Oct 18 - 04:56 PM (#3958805) Subject: RE: BS: Dr Who Woo Woo From: Nigel Parsons Nope, Al is quite correct: Carry on Sergeant IMDb Hartnell was also in some episodes of The Army Game. |

28 Oct 18 - 06:05 AM (#3958866) Subject: RE: BS: Dr Who Woo Woo From: Jim Carroll Wiki Entry for 'The Army Game "Many stars, including Charles Hawtrey, William Hartnell, Bernard Bresslaw, Alfie Bass and Dick Emery became household names, and appeared in the Carry On films, which began with Carry On Sergeant, virtually a spin-off. Jim Carroll" |

28 Oct 18 - 05:34 PM (#3958964) Subject: RE: BS: Dr Who Woo Woo From: Dave the Gnome The Army Game aired before the carry on films and Hartnell was in the early series. I never saw carry on sergeant. Not that any of this matters in the slightest to anyone but a pedant... |

28 Oct 18 - 07:48 PM (#3958977) Subject: RE: BS: Dr Who Woo Woo From: Nigel Parsons The latest episode should be avoided by aracnophobes. I don't usually have problems with spiders, but this was worrying. Also the main antagonist seemed to be based on a certain 'Mr Trump'. |
|
28 Oct 18 - 08:54 PM (#3958986) Subject: RE: BS: Dr Who Woo Woo From: Jeri Actually, Trump was mentioned as the guy's competitor. Similar class of jerks, I guess. What I found strange was the Doctor didn't want him to shoot them, but locking them in a room to kill them was fine. I missed how they were actually supposed to die. |
|
29 Oct 18 - 07:29 AM (#3959032) Subject: RE: BS: Dr Who Woo Woo From: DMcG There was certainly an oddity about the morality of killing the creatures in different ways. And a level of sympathy for the adult which did not seem to apply to the offspring. All a bit confused at that point I thought. I strongly suspect the owner of the hotels will show up in a later episode. |

29 Oct 18 - 08:18 AM (#3959042) Subject: RE: BS: Dr Who Woo Woo From: Jeri Made me think of Aragog in Harry Potter, and how Potter and the other humans had a conversation with him, but his offspring were trying to eat them. Adults: ok, offspring: not so much. |

01 Nov 18 - 03:48 PM (#3959589) Subject: RE: BS: Dr Who Woo Woo From: Ian Hendrie Loved the Trump references used to describe the Trump-like character. I believe the spiders were meant to live out their natural days in the sealed room, though this doesn't bear close examination or indeed any examination at all - a bit like Trump's tax returns and policies. |
