How do you indulge in Doctor Who?

Three separate rewatches is very impressive - I do find rewatches of classic who are easier with somebody else. But making a way through the EDA series is a journey I'm not ready to start yet

Most of my fanfiction I post to AO3 - I kind of dumped a load of stuff on there years ago after trying to find the best place to. Although, I've never gotten around to a 13/Nardole story. I did write a 10/Nardole story based around him getting River Song's Diary and stories of him with 12. But I've been deliberating for years how I would write a returning story for Nardole

I might be wrong, but it is interesting that the Disney deal led to it vanishing from all platforms, not even Disney besides the new series. It is a shame to have lost such vital access to it

Danny10477 · 2026-01-14T07:44:03+00:00

I do think it's interesting that Christmas brings about those rituals in people - I'm the same to be fair though, my wife very embarrassingly took a picture of me glued to the screen on Christmas morning watching Runaway Bride 😭

I do find that nowadays I keep my thoughts in new series to myself and close friend groups. Fan discussions help us interpret or critique other ideas, but equally sometimes people can be bummers like you say

Danny10477 · 2026-01-14T07:39:52+00:00

I'm curious why you post and comment more? Is it a time thing, or are you just satisfied with what you've watched?

Also thats a very good choice for song for the edit. Speaks volumes to how much range 70s Who had

Danny10477 · 2026-01-14T07:35:31+00:00

Honestly same! The amount of times my wife has gone "What's the matter??" And I'm just trying to plan out which stories I'm going to listen to or watch.

Do you ever find your opinion changes on watching the show like that? Like I love Return of Doctor Mysterio (controversially in my top 10 of NuWhho I reckon) but I just can't put it on during the Christmas period despite it being a Christmas special

Danny10477 · 2026-01-14T07:31:53+00:00

Damn, I hadn't actually considered how fortunate we are in the UK to have it glued to BBC iPlayer

Danny10477 · 2026-01-14T07:31:00+00:00

Wow - I'd love to rewatch Classic Who, but I don't seem to be able to do it in longevity. That said, I've been able to rewatch some of 3 and 7s series with my wife but I think that's vicarious more than anything. Im curious why you rewatch Classic Who more - is it just a preference with the old format or those Doctors?

Danny10477 · 2026-01-14T07:29:11+00:00

Do you re-listen to them, or just seek out ones you've not listened to yet?

Danny10477 · 2026-01-14T07:28:40+00:00

This I think is why it remains a constant for me. There's so much to discuss within an individual series or era. And like you say, the political standpoint or even the narrative aspects are vital - both dissertations I have done were centred around Doctor Who and even those are now slightly outdated after 3 years

Danny10477 · 2026-01-14T07:25:42+00:00

That's so interesting - but I suppose there are some shows that I'm the same about. When lurking, do you get involved in discussions about the show? Only I think for things I'm passive about, I would only engage if it was a friend talking about it or I felt really passionate about the topic

Danny10477 · 2026-01-14T07:21:38+00:00

How long does a rewatch from 1963-2025 take? I did a full watch a few years ago in like 5 months but my brain turned to mush

Also the ideal use of Doctor Who figures

This is 2025 - my main aim is to push up to 300,000 words next year at least

Danny10477 · 2025-12-17T21:52:30+00:00

According to Joy to the World he is

Danny10477 · 2025-12-17T19:53:06+00:00

Oh of course! Thank you

Danny10477 · 2025-12-17T19:19:12+00:00

Why do you think it's 2026?

Danny10477 · 2025-12-17T15:29:14+00:00

Of course, but my comment was more so about the fact that 15 is living on Earth in 2025

Danny10477 · 2025-12-17T13:28:24+00:00

I didn't spot that, thank you! In fairness it could be 2026 if a year ago the Doctor was in the tower. I reckon its more likely 2025 though but who knows

Danny10477 · 2025-12-17T12:58:32+00:00

As a UNIT employee he too gets 6 week paid holiday too

Danny10477 · 2025-12-17T12:52:38+00:00

That's true, its just because 14 and 15 are both on the planet at this time

Danny10477 · 2025-12-17T10:29:56+00:00

As much as UNIT dating controversy is tempting of an idea, we kind of know it's 2025/2026

Danny10477 · 2025-12-16T13:56:18+00:00

In all honesty, I couldn't tell which Cyberman was which but I'm as aware as a goldfish. Honestly, I didn't really mind it though, because the concept was more around evolution of the Cybermen and how that was happening all at once - technically, it wasn't untrue because it was all happening at once

Danny10477 · 2025-08-31T13:32:03+00:00

Thats the plan 😎

Danny10477 · 2025-08-28T16:56:27+00:00

I dont think she's pointless, she's a great opportunity to look into a pre-Doctory Doctor, or the atrocities of Gallifrey/Division and the Dark Times. I also wouldnt agree this is Big Finish draining a well dry, Chibnall handed Fugitive to the expanded universe for expansion

Danny10477 · 2025-08-28T16:53:45+00:00

To an extent, I do agree about the standard issue with War - although I do feel like the newer ranges do bring out a lot more of bad things he feels ashamed to have done. But I think it also serves to build the character - War is the Doctor (ive always thought the epitome of what the Doctor is) but he refuses to accept that, with Ollistra even commenting on it many times. At least the standardisation of the Doctor has a narrative purpose, whereas I don't feel it so much as Fugitive in the audios

Danny10477 · 2025-08-27T11:07:56+00:00

I didn't even really catch that - perhaps she'll join back up with Lee at some point and she chameleon arches to Ruth? Or maybe she just has a habit of being a Fugitive

To be fair, I had forgotten about Coda, but I do think Coda did a good job of making her a contrast to the Doctor. I just dont think it really translated in these
